WP 4 – Trade-offs

• Task 4.1: Analysis of technology-environmental interactions

  Objective: Analysis and assessment of technology-environmental interactions between (market) CHP, conv. electricity generation, RES-E technologies and DSM activities. The following issues will be considered:

  • various interactions of different types of policy instruments,

  • society restrictions and

  • stakeholder behaviour in a dynamic way.

  Task 4.2: Review of existing Label systems in Europe and recommendations

  Objective: Analysis of the interactions of the three markets:

  • physical power market,
  • emission-trading market and
  • green certificate market

  especially in relation to CHP, the most relevant DSM activities and RES. It is the aim to explain how these new markets affect or overlap the promotion of CHP or RES-E or foster DSM activities.

  Task 4.3: Set up of formal framework

  Objective: Modelling the dynamics and interactions with respect to RES-E by area of activity:

  • Technology: dynamic development of cost curves for different technologies as well as the feasibility of availability and deployment over time;

  • Markets: interactions of physical electricity, TGC and GHG market;

  • Society/Policy: e.g. dynamic implementation of different types of instruments like increasing quota or changing FIT  and

  • Stakeholders: Individual dynamic behaviour of different groups.

  Task 4.4: Policy recommendations

  Objective: To give a number of policy recommendations in relation to the integration of the three markets and trade-offs between technologies and promotion schemes. Recommendations are given from e.g.:

  • The consumers point-of-view,
  • The generators point-of-view,
  • The Member Countries point-of-view.
