In order to manage the transition towards a sustainable future electricity system, an in-depth understanding of the key technological, economic, environmental and societal drivers for electricity markets is required. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this textbook provides an overview of these drivers and introduces readers to major economic models and empirical evidence for the study of electricity markets and systems.

Readers will learn about electricity generation, demand, transport, and storage, as well as the fundamentals of grid and electricity markets in Europe. By introducing them to state-of-the-art models from operations research and economics, the book provides a solid basis for analytical insights and numerical modeling. Furthermore, the book discusses the policy instruments and design choices for electricity market regulation and sustainable power system development, as well as the current challenges for smart energy systems.

lt;p>Christoph Weber is a Full Professor of Management Sciences and Energy Economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. With a background in Mechanical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Economics, his main research interests are in electricity markets, risk and sustainable energy systems, and the use of operations research methods in connection with energy.

Dominik Möst is a Full Professor of Energy Economics at the Faculty of Business and Economics, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. He studied Industrial Engineering and Management at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) and at the ENSGI-INPG Grenoble (Ecole nationale supérieure de Genie Industriel, France), holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) and habilitated at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). His research interests are European electricity and gas markets, the integration of renewable energy sources, and energy system modeling, as well as energy and resource efficiency.
