Summary: The integration of renewable energy into energy grids along with green technologies has become crucial for achieving the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius. However, there is limited research on the optimal design and operation of integrated energy grids considering weather intermittency and demand uncertainty. This study proposes a multi-period mixed-integer linear programming model to address these challenges and comprehensively analyze the intermittent nature of renewable resources.

Summary: Renewable sources are increasingly integrated into power systems for decarbonization, but their variability introduces uncertainty, requiring fast generating and storage units. Adequate representation of renewable variability in capacity expansion problems is crucial, often selected through clustering techniques. Trade-offs exist in current clustering algorithms, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to accurately capture inter-temporal correlation and representativeness with minimal clusters.

Summary: As the penetration rate of renewable energy increases, the traditional reliability confidence capacity is no longer suitable for planning and designing new power systems. This paper proposes the concept of renewable energy flexibility confidence capacity and constructs a mathematical model to evaluate it. The model takes into account flexibility and uses the sequential Monte Carlo method. Analysis is conducted on different flexibility indicators and the results of the evaluation under different energy penetration rates. A case study using power grid data from Xinjiang, China confirms the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Summary: Long-term capacity cycles in electricity markets pose challenges to policy makers, as they bring instability in energy prices and jeopardize security of supply. This article explores the impact of the availability of new technologies on investment cycles, using economic experiments conducted in a laboratory setting. The findings indicate that the introduction of variable renewable energy sources does not dampen the observed capacity oscillations but instead leads to shorter, more frequent cycles.

Summary: To address climate change, the world is transitioning from fossil fuels to renewables. However, the development of renewables heavily relies on critical minerals, which has been overlooked in current climate scenario analysis. This study introduces a metal-energy-climate nexus framework and applies it to global energy transition, revealing that climate mitigation will significantly increase the demand for critical minerals, potentially restricting the development of solar and wind power. Therefore, considering the interaction between mineral, energy, and climate systems is crucial for future scenario designing.

Summary: This study introduces a method that soft-links energy planning and power flow models to compare different energy planning scenarios and assess implementation possibilities. Applied to interconnected islands, the method revealed that a detailed spatial approach can reduce battery capacity and increase renewable energy generation capacity, but also result in higher total system costs. Results from the power flow model showed that the highest voltage deviation was 16% higher than the nominal voltage level.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of real-time pricing and load automation on residential distribution systems. The study finds that implementing real-time pricing can result in an aggregate welfare gain of 39 USD per customer and year. However, it also notes that RTP and load automation may significantly increase peak system load. Introducing a market-based demand management system can further enhance welfare gains and reduce grid investment.

Summary: Household solid fuel use is detrimental to health and the environment. The Indian government's PMUY subsidy has successfully promoted the adoption of LPG by millions of households. However, there is limited understanding of the decision-making process to reduce solid fuel use after transitioning to cleaner fuels. This study found that factors such as household wealth, social status, education level, and the prevalence of LPG use in the village are positively associated with LPG consumption and the discontinuation of solid fuel use. On the other hand, factors such as distance to LPG refill delivery, household size, and the PMUY subsidy are negatively associated with the share of LPG use.

Summary: This paper assesses the performance of differently implemented forward-looking network tariff designs and proposes an innovative coordination mechanism to increase predictability in a future with many flexible customers. The study reveals that if large shares of customers synchronize their responses to highly time-varying and locational-specific network charges, it can lead to unexpected reinforcements.

Summary: Russia's weaponization of gas supplies shook the energy security of Central and Eastern Europe in 2022. The region responded by increasing alternative energy supplies and developing new gas supply routes. Renewable energy, nuclear energy, and hydrogen play important roles in the long-term. Mitigating the impact of this shock requires the EU to prioritize the integrity of its energy market.

Summary: Economic costs are a major political obstacle to investing in climate change mitigation and adaptation measures. The method of financing plays a crucial role in determining public opposition to government green investments, with debt financing being less opposed than broad-based taxes. This study suggests that credit market tools, such as green bonds and debt for climate swaps, can be politically efficient in increasing support for green financing. Carbon taxes and wealth taxes are found to be the most preferred options.

Summary: This paper investigates China's energy trade stability using a survival analysis approach. It finds that the energy trade linkages between China and 153 other countries are complex and unstable, with short periods of trade with many countries. Geopolitically risky regions, such as the Middle East and Africa, have the lowest trade stability. Climate risks have significant effects on energy trade stability. The paper proposes several policy options to improve energy trade stability in China, with special attention to increasing global climate risks.

Summary: This study estimates the willingness to pay of Indian urban consumers for a continuous supply of electricity using contingent valuation method. The findings show that the amount consumers are willing to pay depends on the duration of power outages, with households preferring shorter outages. Income and environmental attitude also positively influence higher willingness to pay. These insights can inform policymakers in designing more reliable and customer-centric energy generation and distribution models.

Summary: The study finds that oil price shocks have a negative impact on Africa's energy transition, particularly in rural areas and net crude oil exporting countries. However, oil price shocks cannot explain the urban-rural differences in clean energy access. Therefore, increasing investment in clean energy and technologies in rural areas is necessary to enhance the resilience of the energy sector to oil price shocks.

Summary: The Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) is considered an innovative technology for building a green society. This study investigates the impact of REC purchases on stock return and volume in Taiwan between 2017 and 2021. The findings suggest that REC purchases have a positive effect on stock returns of manufacturing firms but not service firms. The frequency of REC purchases is also an important factor in the relationship between REC purchase and firm value. Additionally, the study reveals that public attention to environmental pollution plays a crucial role in positive stock returns and volume, while ESG disclosure is negatively associated with returns and volume.

Summary: This paper addresses the challenges of governing energy procurement from a mix of non-hydropower renewable energy sources supplied by independent producers. Building on political economy analysis and five case studies of independent producer projects from Ethiopia, it seeks to understand the root causes of the protracted delays and limited extent of procurement by independent producers. The key contestations lie in managing long term contracts, risk, uncertainty and in developing the institutional and human capacity to transition.
