In this study, an inexact robust optimization method (IROM) is developed for supporting carbon dioxide (CO2) emission management in a regional-scale energy system, through incorporating interval-parameter programming (IPP) within a robust optimization (RO) framework. In the modeling formulation,...

The electricity sector is responsible for roughly 40% of U.S. carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and a reduction in CO2 emissions from electricity generation is an important component of the U.S. strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Toward that goal, several proposals for a clean energy...

We study the impact of competition and environmental policy (feed-in tariff vs. the EU ETS) on investment, CO2 emissions and welfare in an electricity sector. We consider different market structures (a planner who maximises social welfare vs. duopoly) and two types of consumers (those whose...
