Conference Abstracts
Purpose
The purpose of the ERRA Energy Investment and Regulation Conference Abstracts is to present new and ongoing research in the energy sector, particularly related to the general theme and topics of the ERRA Conference.
Call for 2020 Conference Abstracts
Proposed Topics in 2020
The Candidates may choose among the following topics of the ERRA Conference:
- Regional Integration, Cross Border Trade
Regional cooperation and the merging of energy markets is a natural way forward to facilitate energy access and its affordability for end users. In the context of evolving energy landscape towards more decentralized solutions for generation and balancing mechanisms this area needs to be inspected by all energy supply chain stakeholders in order to suggest possible solutions for a smooth and effective energy transition that would involve all market participants in a given area. The proposed abstract should treat about the successful past/ongoing/prospective future framework of cooperation that lead/can lead to positive outcomes for neighbouring energy systems. The focus should be put on integration issues and/or cross border cooperation, such as trade elements.
- Smart Metering in Energy Systems
Modern energy systems are characterised by inter alia their responsiveness towards market signals and their efficiency. Safeguarding a well-functioning energy system today, requires the minimisation of ineffective solutions, measures and consumption patterns that affect it. The role of DSOs and end customers is crucial in this exercise. The latter, empowered by new means such as smart metering systems and new regulatory frameworks that enable their effective usage and management, constitute a new type of entity in the market that define the so-called demand side response but the use of smart meters also contribute to increased energy efficiency, the use of flexible/dynamic tariffs and simplified procedures for the integration of renewables, etc. The proposed abstract should treat about the potential of smart metering to modernize energy systems, its role in end user’s evolution to market players and/or should elaborate on a case study of its implementation in a given area and the results of such.
