1.a) Why would Germany built a Direct Current (DC) transmission line from the Northern part to the Southern part (a distance of more than 500 km)? Briefly motivate your answer.
b) Netherlands is connected with Norway by a 580-kilometer long transmission line to Norway (called NordNed). Will this be an AC or DC line? Briefly motivate your answer.
c) Mention one country that has the same frequency (Japan is thus excluded), but not everywhere the same synchronicity.
2. (Maximum 10 points ) Which type of electricity generation creates the most carbon emissions and which the least.

Effects of intermittent generation
1. Effect of subsidized intermittent generation (eg renewables) on the price of electricity
![Page 7: Ee w07.2 f_ 3. renewables and the electricity industry (climate change)b](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102802/5429457c8d7f72714e8b7217/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Renewables lower electricity prices: Good news?
• "We learn (page 1) that German wholesale electricity prices are down from 5.115 cents estimated in 2012 to around 3.9 cents. Let’s just note that renewable energy has reduced wholesale prices by 1.2 cents per kWh.„
• "Multiply that by the 482 TWh they expect Germany to consume next year (page 21) , and we see that renewable energy will reduce wholesale prices by EUR 5.784 billion next year."

1. Effect of subsidized intermittent generation (eg renewables) on the price of electricity
– Wholesale-market price low, end-user price high– Other plants (especially gas) do not recover costs
2. Effect on other power plants– Cycling/ramping problem – balancing costs
• Leads to negative price spikes!

• Use more plants with lower cycling costs– Open Cycle Gas Generators (OCCG)
– Also more inefficient and more CO2 emissions.

• Denny & O’Malley (2005) 2005 study on Ireland shows that carbon emission savings using wind generation are lowered by 20%-30% due to cycling– Assumes wind penetration of 3%
• Hirth (2013), basing his approximation on a literature study, uses a (fixed) estimate of E4/MWh as balancing cost.

• How can negative prices come about in Germany?– Mandatory dispatch of wind and solar– “Must-run” generation
• Central Heating and Power plants (CHP)
– Baseload plants don’t like cycling
• For what price would a baseload plant (eg a big nuclear) bid in its electricity?– (DA & ID)

• Intra-Day market (ID market)– Bid for 2 hours ahead– Eg.: On 2nd June, before 3:59 I send in one
