Summary 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.

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.
