PHD THESIS - DISTRIBUTED ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN BULGARIA Abstract. Distributed electricity generation (DG) (i.e. based on small- and medium-scale renewables and combined heat and power (CHP) units (mainly up to 10MW)) can help our society on its way towards achieving sustainable development by contributing to all three of its pillars –. The s marked the beginning of market driven reforms in the electricity sector based on the standard textbook model. More than half of the economies around the world have initiated power sector reforms since late s irrespective of the sector size, resource endowments, institutional capacity and economic development. Hence, this thesis. Electricity systems represent a major source of global pollutants. Whilst currently relying heavily on fossil fuels, electricity systems are progressively shifting towards renewable sources to mitigate climate change and enhance energy security. The goal of this PhD project was to develop a systematic framework for.

This thesis comprises three self-contained chapters on the econometric modeling and forecasting of electricity prices in the Nord Pool power market. They present investiga-tions of the hot topics in electricity market research today, with a focus on day-ahead forecasting of system electricity prices in the Elspot power market, main price drivers.

This research develops an institutional perspective on electricity reform, with specific emphasis on understanding the reasons for the disparity between expectations from reform and its actual outcomes, and (hence) for identifying ways to reduce this disparity. The backdrop for this research is as follows.

Modelling household electricity consumption

A simulation model of household consumption of electricity is constructed taking account of intra-day climate and electricity price changes. The model is extended to endogenise household decisions concerning the stock and characteristics of appliances based on electricity prices and public policy (price subsidies and energy efficiency standards). The s marked the beginning of market driven reforms in the electricity sector based on the standard textbook model. More than half of the economies around the world have initiated power sector reforms since late s irrespective of the sector size, resource endowments, institutional capacity and economic development. Hence, this thesis. Thesis abstract.
