Before revision:  We show that both effects overamplify the well-known merit-order effect of RES power in-feed beyond a level that is explainable by underlying physical realities, i.e., thermal power plants being willing to accept negative electricity prices to be able to stay online due to considerations of wear & tear and start-stop constraints.
