In many European countries, natural gas-fired power plants are considered a possibility to quickly compensate the expected shortfall in electric energy supply. Increasing gasfired generation capacity would also increase the couplings and interactions between gas and electricity systems. So far, gas power plants participate in two different markets gas and electricity. Coupling these markets by ...

This paper discusses the assessment and visualization of market power in bulk electricity markets, with the explicit consideration of transmission system constraints. In general, market power is the ability of a particular seller or group of sellers to maintain prices profitably above competitive levels for a significant period of time. When an entity has and exercises market power, it ceases t...

This essay introduces a new featured section, to be published in Small Axe annually, that explores the critical vocabulary of field Caribbean studies.

Electric vehicles are one of the most complicated electric devices to simulate due to the significant number of different processes involved in electrical structure of it. There are concurrent processes of energy consumption and generation with different onboard systems, which make simulation tasks more complicated to perform. More accurate simulation on energy consumption can provide a better ...

Electric and hybrid-electric vehicles have long been seen as the answer to the economic and environmental problems created by traditional fossil fuel vehicles. In addition to the ability to reduce carbon emissions and reduce negative environmental externalities, they have the potential to end the current dependence on limited fossil fuel reserves and thus enhance energy security. However, the f...
