Sustainable development concerns made renewable energy sources to be increasingly used for electricity distributed generation. However, this is mainly due to incentives or mandatory targets determined by energy policies as in European Union. Assuring a sustainable future requires distributed generation to be able to participate in competitive electricity markets. To get more negotiation power in the...
Despite it's now well-known technical prowess, a large proportion of the Indian rural population still does not have access to electricity. Further, the Government of India has been exhorting private companies to participate in the national effort of extending electricity access to the rural consumer. However, private companies have to balance shareholder and social objectives. Further, carbon emission...
Are there concepts and policies from the history of electric power regulation that bear on current efforts to build and incorporate generation derived from sustainable energy sources? We first look to see what issues have been addressed and what tools were applied to implement policies. To address unique features of renewable energy, resource economic theory applies conceptual tools of 'nonrivalry'...
The proposal of dean development mechanism (CDM) assists signatory developing countries, such as those of Latin America, in using obtained resources of CDM, in the form of promoting economic, energetically sustainable development and expansion by means of distributed generation through renewable energy sources. In accordance with the CDM, activities, such as efficiency and/or energy conservation,...
The increase of the use of renewable energy sources and distributed generation (DG) of electricity is of main importance in the way towards a sustainable development. The aggregation of DG plants gives place to a new concept: the virtual power producer (VPP). VPPs can reinforce the importance of these generation technologies making them valuable in electricity markets. This paper presents a simulation...
The development of a viable and sustainable private sector infrastructure is crucial for any market based implementation of renewable energy in rural areas in developing countries. In existing markets like Kenya, a complex and diverse network of intermediary actors take part in the distribution chain between manufacturers and the end-users. In this network, buying decisions are based on a wide variety...
