Off-shore wind power plants and their integration into the electricity market
Souček, Tomáš ; Vasil, Tomáš (oponent) ; Radil, Lukáš (vedoucí práce)
This thesis examines the integration of offshore bidding zones into the European electricity market, focusing on the economic impacts of capacity constraints on offshore wind farms and the role of Transmission Access Guarantees (TAG). It explores market integration strategies, highlighting the challenges and solutions for integrating offshore wind farms under capacity constraints. A key finding is the influence of positive Power Transfer Distribution Factors (PTDFs) in Dutch elements on transmission capacity as Remaining Available Margin (RAM) values decrease. Conversely, the introduction of Czech elements, even with high PTDFs, did not impact the maximum net positions. This suggests that Czech TSOs need not worry about financial implications of compensations related to offshore bidding zones, while TSOs nearer to these zones must be more vigilant. The study emphasizes the importance of accurately defining TAG's volume and price to prevent potential gaming and ensure fair compensation. It underlines the need for strategic network management to balance grid stability with the financial risks of renewable energy integration. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers, TSOs, and stakeholders in optimizing the integration of renewable energy sources into the European grid, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient energy future.
