Capacity remuneration mechanisms and the optimal electricity market design
Sobotka, Ladislav ; Strecker, Ondřej (advisor) ; Mikolášek, Jakub (referee)
EU electricity markets are facing fundamental challenges as a result of the EU goal to increase the share of the renewable energy sources. This policy negatively influences profitability of the conventional producers known theoretically as "missing money" problem. As the conventional plants are crucial to offset the variability of renewable, this policy puts the stability of the whole grid at risk in long-term under the current electricity market design. The thesis tests and confirms the hypothesis that there is currently a "missing money" effect on the German energy market through a dynamic programming model. Secondly, three types of the capacity remuneration mechanisms (CRMs) are implemented (capacity payments, strategic reserve and capacity auction) in order to deal with "missing money" which mostly eliminates the missing money problem depending on the setting. The most effective CRM seems be the capacity auction model as the price is set dynamically by the market players and not arbitrarily by central regulator. The thesis further supports the creation of the demand flexibility scheme due to the expected low costs. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
The effectiveness of subsidies to reduce the energy intensity of enterprises
Navrátilová, Lucia ; Potluka, Oto (advisor) ; Sobotka, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis is devoted to assessing the effectiveness of subsidies spent on improving energy efficiency in the business sector. It analyzes the use of energy resources, international development in energy consumption and legislation focused on energy efficiency. Further, it analyzes two possibilities of obtaining funds for measures improving energy efficiency, subsidies and bank loans. There are given characteristics of the subsidy program Eco-Energy from the Operational program Enterprise and Innovation 2007 - 2013. In the practical part, the effectiveness of subsidies from this program is assessed by comparison of the supported and unsupported companies.
The limited liability of the nuclear power plant operators in the european context
Sobotka, Ladislav ; Němcová, Ingeborg (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
This thesis focuses on the harmonization of the limited nuclear liability on the european level. The current situation can be characterized with generally low liability limits and different conditions for nuclear energy in the Member States. Such a situations has its consequences in terms of uncertainity about the compenstion of the victims and deformation of the nuclear power market. The first part of the thesis focuses on the development of the european energetic policy and subsequently it strives to answer what elements of the nuclear liability regime are optimal, what are the benefits of the harmonisation on the EU level and what is a realistic way of implementation. The attention is also paid to the obstacles of the whole process.
