Activities of the Balmorel project

 

 

Activities during 2008:

  • The Economic Council (Denmark) has used Balmorel in their analysis 'Economy and environment. Danish energy policy' (2008), get the full report (in Danish) here, and get the English summery here.

    Activities during 2007:

  • Energy Policy for Mauritius: An international consortium including UNEP Risoe Centre and Ea Energy Analyses is working on a project aiming to propose an energy strategy and an action plan for Mauritius until 2025. The project is carried out for the government of Mauritius and financed by the EU and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The work includes analyses of the electricity sector and here the Balmorel model is being employed. More information.
  • Congestion Management in the Nordic Electricity Market: Commissioned by the Electricity Market Group under the Nordic Council of Ministers, Hagman Energy AB, Ea Energy Analyses and COWI are investigating advantages and disadvantages of different methods of congestion management. Balmorel is the key modeling tool to simulate efficiency in resource utilization in this context.
  • The Price of Wind Power: Danish Environmental Assessment Institute (now the under The Secretariat of the Danish Economic Council) released a report on the price of wind power. Background calculations on the system costs where carried out by Ea Energy Analyses using the Balmorel model.
  • Analysis of a wind power intensive scenario for Denmark - 50% wind power in 2025 - , see the description of the project and the report here.
  • The analysis 'Impact of CO2 quota allocation to new entrants in the electricity market' was performed for the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. The report may be downloaded here.
  • The study aiming at development of an integrated model for and studies of the Danish natural gas and electricity systems was finalised. See further at the document and model pages.
  • The study on steps for improved congestion management and cost allocation for transit in the Nordic countries was undertaken for the official co-operation organisation in the Nordic region. Get the report here.
