容量市场最初是在竞争激烈的电力市场之后建立的，旨在提高系统的可靠性。它们已经演变成规模庞大、极具争议性且鲜为人知的数十亿美元机构。电力容量市场研究了创建容量市场的原理、容量市场如何运作，以及这些市场在多大程度上实现了其目标。这本书将吸引能源专家和非专家，跨越一系列学科，包括经济学、商业、工程、公共政策和法律。容量市场本身就是一个重要且具有挑衅性的话题，但它们也提供了一个有趣的案例研究，说明我们的能源系统在多大程度上满足了我们日益复杂的社会的需求。能力市场面临的挑战——利用市场力量实现社会效益、创建管理复杂性的网络以及实现可持续性——在很大程度上是我们21世纪先进工业社会的核心挑战。
Electricity Capacity Markets
Initially created as afterthoughts to competitive electricity markets, capacity markets were intended to enhance system reliability. They have evolved into massive, highly controversial, and poorly understood billion-dollar institutions. Electricity Capacity Markets examines the rationales for creating capacity markets, how capacity markets work, and how well these markets are meeting their objectives. This book will appeal to energy experts and non-experts alike, across a range of disciplines, including economics, business, engineering, public policy, and law. Capacity markets are an important and provocative topic on their own, but they also offer an interesting case study of how well our energy systems are meeting the needs of our increasingly complex society. The challenges facing capacity markets – harnessing market forces for social good, creating networks that manage complexity, and achieving sustainability – are very much core challenges for our twenty-first century advanced industrial society.
