Objectives:
This study continues the development of an agent-based model exploring the issue of market integration of renewable energy. Having illustrated the suitability of this approach for scientific policy advice in a pilot project (project report) (unterlegt mit Link zu http://elib.dlr.de/69342/), the research is now being continued and methodologically enhanced. Further marketing options and policy frameworks will be analysed, the implementation of the interdependencies in the protagonists’ acting will be advanced - realised by an endogenous determination of the exchange prices for electricity - and last but not least it is envisaged to integrate further protagonists of renewable electricity generation.
