Abstract: There are many options for generating electricity with low carbon emissions, and the electrification of heat and transport can decarbonise energy use across the economy. This places the power sector at the forefront of any move away from fossil fuels, even though fossil-fuelled generators are more dependable and flexible than nuclear reactors or intermittent renewables, and vital for the second-by-second balancing of supply and demand. Renewables tend to supplement, rather than replace, fossil capacity, althou… Show more

“…There is a real possibility of a clean and sustainable expansion of the Brazilian electric mix by expanding towards renewables (Pepitone 2016;Campos Neto 2016). That complies with the maintenance of a clean Brazilian energy mix (Almeida and Bicalho 2014) 12 and follows the international move towards a more renewable and sustainable electric mix (Green and Staffell 2016;Podcameni 2014). …”

“…However, like wind power generation, the dispersion of solar farms can largely reduce this variability. Unlike the previous case, solar PV does not have moving parts (ABSOLAR 2016;EPE 2012;Green and Staffell 2016;Januzzi 2009). …”

“…), as well as the need for the application of research approaches, like the MLP approach, taking into account these various relevant aspects. Phasing out coal-fired power plants is not only on the agenda in Germany but also in Great Britain and other European countries [99].…”

“…Three broad remedies are typically suggested to deal with missing money viz. (1) introducing capacity markets (Bidwell & Henney, 2004;Simshauser, 2008;Spees et al 2013;Green & Staffell, 2016), (2) raising VoLL (Newbery, 2006;Finon, 2008;Simshauser, 2010), or (3) increasing Operating Reserves (Hogan, 2005;. Each of these comes with problems; introducing capacity markets represents a partial reversion to central planning and grinds against the decision to push market and investment risk away from consumers and to investors in the first place (Leautier, 2016).…”
