Renewable Energy Market in Indonesia
The development of renewable energy in Indonesia has stalled in recent years, especially wind and solar PV power. By the end of 2018, cumulative installed solar and wind capacity in Indonesia just reached 136MW, which is at a relatively low level compared with other Southeast Asian countries. It is a recognized fact that 2019 was the year of Vietnam’s renewable energy explosion, with a new ...

Analysis of regulatory barriers to renewable energy uptake in partnership developing countries
One of the key barriers identified in relation to the increased uptake of renewable energy is the lack of mature markets and favorable policy, regulatory and legal frameworks to encourage the development of, and investment in, renewable energy. The purpose of the project is to provide an overview of the regulatory and policy situation in China, India, and Korea in relation to renewable energy ...

Where neoclassical economics fails: impacts on renewable electricity in the UK
This paper explores the appropriateness and effectiveness of using a market-based governance system, in the form of the renewable obligation (RO) in the UK, to drive the uptake of electricity from renewable technologies. The paper will argue that neoclassical thinking around markets makes key assumptions on efficiency, effectiveness and equity that are not suitable for emerging renewable ...

Renewable portfolio standard and certificates trading on the Dutch electricity market
In 1996, the Dutch distribution companies signed a voluntary agreement to reduce CO 2 emissions. As one element of the agreement, a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) for the electricity distribution companies with certificates trading was introduced (groen label system). The analysis reveals that the total volume of the obligation (3%) can be considered as modest. In addition, it seems more ...

High wire act: electricity transmission infrastructure and its impact on the renewable energy market
Renewable energy (RE)—electricity from wind, solar, and other naturally renewing energy sources— has drawn increasing attention in the quest to reduce greenhouse gases on a scale commensurate with the dictates of climate science. Renewables have the potential to substitute for a significant proportion of the conventional fossil fuels prevalent in today’s electricity generation. ...

Financial incentives to promote renewable energy systems in European electricity markets: a survey
Renewable energy systems may contribute to sustainable development. Therefore, one of the challenges for energy policy is to ensure that renewable energy options have a fair opportunity to compete with other supply resources. This paper presents a survey on promotion mechanisms to enhance the market penetration of renewable energies in European electricity markets. Strategies include rebates and ...

The future of power generation in Estonia
Since 2004, Estonia has been a member of the European Union. With the Treaty of Accession the terms and conditions were set for the Estonian energy sector for compliance with the EU legal acts and the objectives of energy and environmental policies: 1) increase of the share of electricity produced from renewables; 2) opening of the electricity market; 3) bringing the oil shale based power ...

Dispachability improvement of wind generation by the Virtual Power Producers
Today, there is a growing environmental concern about where the energy that we use comes from, bringing the attention on renewable energies. However, the use and trade of the renewable energies in the market seem to be complicated because of the lack of guarantees of generation, mainly in the wind farms. The lack of guarantees is usually addressed by using a reserve generation. The aggregation of ...

Development of Economic Indices for Renewable Energies and Distributed Generation in the Asia-Pacific Region
Renewable energies are gaining their market share, reflecting on improved economic feasibility; however, most renewable energies, except for wind, hydro, and biomass, are still costly energy options compared to conventional energy sources. In this activity, developments of economic indices will be explored, and can be used as criteria in prioritizing development and deployment of renewable ...

Development by synergising renewable energy with social services
This paper explains the idea of a synergism between cutting–edge renewable energy technologies and social services. This is designed to create 'free' services for the public. These 'free' services could occur if 'intensive' renewable energy generation technologies permitted the physical structures housing social services to sell megawatts of electricity. This would act as the income necessary to ...

Exploring the possibility of change in the US utilities' market orientation towards more renewable energy
This research examines the possibility of the US electric utilities' transition from closed to open systems, while taking steps towards new market orientation. By employing an inductive approach, it observes recent developments in two fronts: first, it observes that more renewable energy sources have been added to the power generation mix, and that utilities advertise their renewable energy ...

Simulating real-time load management to maximise wind energy supply within a liberalised electricity market ? Irish case study
The realisation of two key energy policy goals pose significant challenges for power systems operation and control, namely electricity market liberalisation and increased penetration of renewable energy. This paper uses a case study analysis to explore solutions to these new challenges. The focus is on simulating real-time load management to maximise wind energy supply to a local authority ...
