Market Integration of Renewable Generation

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Adapting market designs to the intermittent nature of renewable generation is a process that must have the reduction in forecast error and the avoidance of substantial real-time imbalances at its core. However, flexibility is the key to guarantee the economic viability and security of the supply of carbon-neutral power systems; being aggregators, citizen energy communities, and new flexible players, they are important agents of future power systems. Indeed, with increasing penetrations of distributed generation, the distribution system operator has a major role to play in facilitating the active participation of local players, accommodating new distributed generation and transitioning to a more flexible and democratised power system where smart grid services, self-consumption, smart meters, local trades, peer-to-peer markets, and new marketplaces and products will be required. Therefore, we invite you to submit your research or review papers considering (but not limited to) the following subjects:

• The impacts of increasing penetrations of renewables in national/regional markets;
• New market designs, products, and rules for decarbonised day-ahead and intraday markets;
• Full investment-recovery of renewables in liberalized markets without externalities;
• Decentralised investment incentive mechanisms for a net-zero electricity system;
• Improving forecasting and information transparency in the new market designs;
• The role of aggregators, virtual power plants, local energy communities, and new flexible players in the road to carbon-neutral and strongly liberalised power systems;
• New designs of local energy and flexibility markets operating in the distribution grid level;
• New local marketplaces, innovative flexibility services, and redesign of products;
• The role of transmission networks and cross-border exchange in market integration and coupling.

The energy transition to wind and solar opens up opportunities for green hydrogen as wind and solar generation tend to bring electricity prices down to very low levels. We evaluate whether green hydrogen can integrate well with wind and solar PVs to improve the South Australian electricity grid. Green hydrogen can use membrane electrolysis plants during periods of surplus renewable energy. This hydrogen can then be electrified or used in industry. The green hydrogen system was analysed to understand the financial viability and technical impact of integrating green hydrogen. We also used system engineering techniques to understand the system holistically, including the technical, social, environmental, and economic impacts. The results show opportunities for the system to provide seasonal storage, grid firming, and reliability services. Financially, it would need changes to electricity rules to be viable, so at present, it would not be viable without subsidy. Full article
