Planning of regional energy systems: An inexact mixed-integer fractional programming model
Zhu, H.; Huang, W.W.; Huang, G.H. - In: Applied Energy 113 (2014) C, pp. 500-514
In this study, an inexact mixed-integer fractional energy system planning (IMIF-EP) model is developed for supporting sustainable energy system management under uncertainty. Based on a hybrid of interval-parameter programming (IPP), fractional programming (FP) and mixed integer linear...

An optimization approach for long term investments planning in energy
Flores, Julio R.; Montagna, Jorge M.; Vecchietti, Aldo - In: Applied Energy 122 (2014) C, pp. 162-178
This paper presents a mathematical programming model for planning investment in energy sources. The problem formulation considers the use of renewable and not renewable sources and demands, revenues, operation, start-up, and amortization costs of new energy facilities and the amount of reserves...

EXPANSE methodology for evaluating the economic potential of renewable energy from an energy mix perspective
Trutnevyte, Evelina - In: Applied Energy 111 (2013) C, pp. 593-601
Several methodologies exist for evaluating the economic potential of renewable energy sources. These methodologies either cannot capture how this economic potential depends on its embedding in the whole energy mix, or provide a single cost-optimal energy mix, which is not flexible enough for...
