Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The beginning of the 2nd decade of 21st century marked the revival of the fourth industrial revolution, known as Industry 4.0, where information and communication technology (ICT) has revolutionized the way we live, connect, communicate, do business, govern and much more. Both people and things are becoming smarter by the day and indications of 5.0 phase are fascinating. In these circumstances, fulfilling the demand for energy is a challenge faced by countries all over the world. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a drastic change in the day-to-day activities as well as the energy usage patterns of individuals and businesses globally. This Special Issue aims to be a compilation of original research articles and review articles which highlight the past, present and future of smart innovations in the energy sector, as a way to tackle the challenges for researchers and practitioners today and in times to come. All the subject areas of Energies journal would be covered by this Special Issue.

Although many countries prefer deregulated power markets as a means of containing power costs, a monopoly may still exist. In this study, an agent-based bidding simulation framework is proposed to detect whether there will be a monopoly in the power market. A security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) is conducted to clear the power market. Using the characteristics that the agent can fully explore in a certain environment and the Q-learning algorithm, each power producer in the power market is modeled as an agent, and the agent selects a quotation strategy that can improve profits based on historical bidding information. The numerical results show that in a power market with monopoly potential among the power producers, the profits of the power producers will not converge, and the locational marginal price will eventually become unacceptable. Whereas, in a power market without monopoly potential, power producers will maintain competition and the market remains active and healthy. Full article

This paper surveys theory and practice on how a larger and integrated energy market can propel electricity trading through economies of scale. We make a systematic presentation of theories and methods used by various scholars to generate knowledge on integrated electricity markets. We discuss paradigms, concepts, and practices emanating from the complex topic of a unified electricity market with an intent to identify gaps. We conclude that electricity trading in EMI has a propensity to drive both economic integration and sustainable energy access; that crafting ways and means for integrating cross-border systems without sacrificing the local economy could make the idea of EMI more palatable to partner countries; and that adoption of ex ante studies that are non-data oriented could improve the design of upcoming regional electricity markets.
