A survey of integrated decision analysis in energy and environmental modeling

Wang, Q.; Poh, K.L. - In: Energy 77 (2014) C, pp. 691-702

The 1995 survey on DA (decision analysis) in energy and environmental modeling by Huang et al. [1] listed 95 publications; later Zhou et al. [2] updated the survey with 252 publications by classifying the studies according to source of publications, DA method, application area, and several new...

Evaluation of utilization alternatives for stranded natural gas

Khalilpour, Rajab; Karimi, I.A. - In: Energy 40 (2012) 1, pp. 317-328

Options for exporting natural gas from stranded oil and gas fields to markets include pipelines, LNG (liquefied natural gas), CNG (compressed natural gas), GTL (gas to liquids), GTS (gas to solids), and GTW (gas to wire). Thus, the key question is which option is the most robust in ensuring the...

Analysis of multi-pollutant policies for the U.S. power sector under technology and policy uncertainty using MARKAL

Hu, Ming-Che; Hobbs, Benjamin F. - In: Energy 35 (2010) 12, pp. 5430-5442

Investments in power generation, pollution controls, and electricity end use equipment are made in the face of uncertainty. Unanticipated events can cause regret—commitments that in retrospect were the wrong choices. We analyze how three uncertainties—electricity demand growth, natural gas...
