- New actor types in electricity market simulation models: Deliverable D4.4Publication . Machado, Ana Rita; Couto, António; Schimeczek, Christoph; Qiu, Dawei; José, Débora Regina S.; Papadaskalopoulos, Dimitrios; Strbac, Goran; Algarvio, Hugo; Sanchez, Ingrid; Kochems, Johannes; Nienhaus, Kristina; Vries, Laurens de; Chrysanthopoulos, Nikolaos; Pinto, Tiago; Estanqueiro, Ana; Cvetkovic, MilosABSTRACT: The modelling of agents in the simulation models and tools is of primary importance if the quality and the validity of the simulation outcomes are at stake. This is the first version of the report that deals with the representation of electricity market actors’ in the agent based models (ABMs) used in TradeRES project. With the AMIRIS, the EMLab-Generation (EMLab), the MASCEM and the RESTrade models being in the centre of the analysis, the subject matter of this report has been the identification of the actors’ characteristics that are already covered by the initial (with respect to the project) version of the models and the presentation of the foreseen modelling enhancements. For serving these goals, agent attributes and representation methods, as found in the literature of agent-driven models, are considered initially. The detailed review of such aspects offers the necessary background and supports the formation of a context that facilitates the mapping of actors’ characteristics to agent modelling approaches. Emphasis is given in several approaches and technics found in the literature for the development of a broader environment, on which part of the later analysis is deployed. Although the ABMs that are used in the project constitute an important part of the literature, they have not been included in the review since they are the subject of another section.
- New market designs in electricity market simulation models: Deliverable D4.5Publication . Couto, António; Papadaskalopoulos, Dimitrios; Strbac, Goran; Algarvio, Hugo; Sanchez, Ingrid; Kochems, Johannes; Nienhaus, Kristina; Vries, Laurens de; Cvetkovic, Milos; Chrysanthopoulos, Nikolaos; Johanndeiter, Silke; Schimeczek, Christoph; Estanqueiro, Ana; Lopes, FernandoABSTRACT: To integrate a high share of renewables in a future system, several modifications to the electricity market rules may need to be implemented. The most relevant market design concepts were identified from the literature and reported in work package 3. There are several uncertainties, for instance with respect to the questions of whether a future electricity market will provide enough incentives for investment in variable renewable energy sources (vRES) – mainly solar and wind energy – and in flexibility options, especially for long periods with insufficient vRES generation. In this deliverable, the modelling requirements to analyse the new market rules are determined. The modelling efforts will reflect the main policy choices and are based on the strengths of the modelling capabilities from the consortium. The model enhancements to represent the temporal, spatial and sectoral flexibility will be approached in deliverables 4.1 to 4.3. For this reason, these topics will be described only briefly in this deliverable.
- Open-access tool of linked electricity market models: Deliverable D4.8Publication . Rinne, Erkka; Schimeczek, Christoph; Algarvio, Hugo; Santos, Gabriel; Cvetkovic, Milos; Jimenez, Ingrid Sanchez; Vries, Laurens de; Serna, Ricardo Hernandez; Morales-España, Germán; Sijm, Jos; Estanqueiro, AnaABSTRACT: For a holistic understanding and simulation of the energy markets, many different aspects need to modelled properly. Often no single modelling tool offers the whole picture, but a combination of methods needs to be used. A model linkage platform has been chosen previously and this deliverable describes the integration of the modelling tools used in TradeRES to the linking application, Spine Toolbox. Spine Toolbox was used to build data processing and execution workflows around the energy system modelling tools Backbone, AMIRIS, EMLab, COMPETES, RESTrade and MASCEM. The aim is to integrate selected tools together for answering the research questions in the TradeRES project. The integrations of individual tools and some combinations are described in this document. Mostly, the work is still in progress. Also, a common database to serve the case studies has been created, but populating the database with scenario data is still in progress. A common data model to serve all the modelling tools has been created and the database is implemented using Spine Toolbox.
