Book Fair Allocations of a Renewable Resource

Download or read book Fair Allocations of a Renewable Resource written by Joel Kenneth Sobel and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an economy with finitely many agents, one renewable resource and an infinite horizon, it is shown that there is exactly one maximal allocation corresponding to given limiting shares of consumption and this allocation converges monotonically. Therefore, if there is no discounting, at most one fair maximal program exists - that which gives an equal amount to each individual in the limit. In this allocation, envy is always finite. However, only in special cases is it envy-free. This is in contrast to the case of finite economies where envy-free and Pareto efficient allocations may not exist, or if they exist may not be unique.

Book Optimal Spatiotemporal Resource Allocation in Public Health and Renewable Energy

Download or read book Optimal Spatiotemporal Resource Allocation in Public Health and Renewable Energy written by Bismark Singh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimizing the spatiotemporal allocation and distribution of a limited number of critical resources is a pervasive problem, concerning both government agencies and private companies. This challenge is complicated by mismatches between supply and demand over time and also by uncertainty in demand and/or supply. We study such problems in public health and in renewable energy. Public health resources, such as antiviral medications and vaccines, are often in limited availability at the start of an influenza pandemic. Government agencies need to make balanced policy decisions, accounting for regional equity while maintaining an efficient distribution to mitigate spread of the influenza virus. In the absence of good initial information regarding the demand, resource allocation decisions need to encompass a variety of demand scenarios. On the renewable energy side, we seek to provide a fixed supply of energy from a system which includes a highly variable renewable source, such as wind power. Here, we must commit to a decision before the stochastic supply is realized. When bidding into the electricity market to buy or sell energy, an added difficulty concerning the prices of energy arises. We study five specific problems in these contexts.

Book Dynamic Optimization for Commercialization of Renewable Energy

Download or read book Dynamic Optimization for Commercialization of Renewable Energy written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several studies of optimal allocation of research and development resources over the time horizon of a project. The primary result of the basic noncompetitive models in this literature is that the optimal strategy is to choose a research intensity and ending date for the project such that the marginal costs of accelerating the project equals the marginal benefits of introducing the product sooner. This literature provides useful insights for the government planner who must allocate R & D resources for renewable energy development. However, several characteristics distinguish the process from the typical R & D planning problem. Specifically, with PV development, where the goal is to maximize the net present value of activities leading to cost reduction in commercial modules, there are (1) significant lag-times between investment in laboratory research and resulting effects in the marketplace, (2) a learning curve associated with the manufacturing process that also reduces the cost s of PV modules, (3) interim benefits from technical advances, (4) no clear end point to the R & D process, but rather a tapering off of the value of advances in technical efficiency, (5) significant uncertainty in the R & D process, (6) a family of products rather than an individual technology, (7) a co-mingling of government and private resources with implications for efficient management. A dynamic model is developed to characterize the optimal intensity and timing of government and private resource allocation for basic research in improving the technical efficiency of cells and subsidies to the manufacturing process to encourage progress on the learning curve. A series of propositions regarding optimal paths for each are examined. While the research is purely analytical, the results are useful for conceptualizing the R & D planning process. They also provide a basis for a numerical study that can address whether current levels and historic patterns of funding are optimal.

Book Handbook Of Renewable Energy Technology

Download or read book Handbook Of Renewable Energy Technology written by Ahmed F Zobaa and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011-01-26 with total page 874 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effects of environmental, economic, social, political and technical factors have led to the rapid deployment of various sources of renewable energy-based power generation. The incorporation of these generation technologies have led to the development of a broad array of new methods and tools to integrate this new form of generation into the power system network. This book, arranged into six sections, highlights various renewable energy based generation technologies, and consists a series of papers written by experts in their respective fields of specialization.The Handbook of Renewable Energy Technology will be of great practical benefit to professionals, scientists and researchers in the relevant industries, and will be of interest to those of the general public wanting to know more about renewable energy technologies.

Book On the Optimal Allocation of R   D Resources for Climate Change Technology Development

Download or read book On the Optimal Allocation of R D Resources for Climate Change Technology Development written by L. E. Clarke and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While technology studies and integrated assessment models incorporating endogenous technological change have demonstrated that advancing technology is a crucial component of an optimal greenhouse gas abatement strategy, the R & D process itself has received little analytical attention. This paper presents a conceptual framework for considering and exploring the optimal allocation of R & D resources for climate change technology development. The framework is then applied to a stylized application that considers the allocation between R & D focused on resolving uncertainties about the retention of sequestration and R & D focused on improving the performance of renewable energy technologies.

Book The Sustainability of Renewable Energy in Europe

Download or read book The Sustainability of Renewable Energy in Europe written by Simona Bigerna and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-18 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that the much-needed global shift in energy production and use must happen at a territorial level in order to be truly successful and sustainable. This book enables regional implementation efforts by connecting broad EU environmental policies with plans for action at the territorial level, analysing efficient resource allocation and cost effectiveness to achieve national objectives. Each EU Member State is considered in depth, in order to identify the opportunities and challenges of this regional approach. The regional dimension of the authors’ analysis refers to the territorial level NUTS 1 (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) that, starting from the administrative borders of the EU countries, divides the territory into 97 regions on the basis of major socio-economic characteristics. Because the model of the EU "green economy" is characterized typically by top-down interventions that focus exclusively on the resource productivity and investment business, its practical implementation can be de-railed. This book provides the pivotal missing piece- the detailed territorial comparative analysis necessary to obtain an optimal energy mix of renewable energy sources (RES), energy conservation and energy efficiency characteristics of each specific local context.
