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.
