Disseration Description: Investment and the Transfer of Power: Dynamic Effects of Transmission in Electricity Markets

Renewable Energy and Transmission Challenges:

  • Renewable resources are essential for the energy transition, but availability varies across locations.
  • Additional transmission infrastructure can transfer renewable power from resource-rich to resource-poor areas.

Research Focus:

  • Examines the impacts of increased long-distance electricity transfer on investment decisions by fossil fuel and renewable generators.

Dynamic Model Development:

  • Models short-term operations in the dispatch market, accounting for line losses and transmission constraints between zones.
  • Develops a long-term dynamic game for generator behavior in the capacity market.

Dataset:

  • US grid buildout since 2000 for Eastern Interconnection and ERCOT
  • Approximated hourly generation and exports by generator from 2018 to 2023

Counterfactual Experiments:

  • Analyzes impacts on consumer welfare, emissions, and grid reliability.
  • Evaluates incentives for renewable energy investment under varying transmission scenarios.
