Unit commitment for systems with significant wind penetration
Tuohy, Aidan; Meibom, Peter; Denny, Eleanor; O'Malley, Mark - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009
The stochastic nature of wind alters the unit commitment and dispatch problem. By accounting for this uncertainty when scheduling the system, more robust schedules are produced, which should, on average, reduce expected costs. In this paper, the effects of stochastic wind and load on the unit...

Base-load cycling on a system with significant wind penetration
Troy, Niamh; Denny, Eleanor; O'Malley, Mark - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
Certain developments in the electricity sector may result in suboptimal operation of base-load generating units in countries worldwide. Despite the fact they were not designed to operate in a flexible manner, increasing penetration of variable power sources coupled with the deregulation of the...

Does the price of oil interact with clean energy prices in the stock market?
Managi, Shunsuke; Managi, Shunsuke; Okimoto, Tatsuyoshi - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
In this paper, we analyze the relationships among oil prices, clean energy stock prices, and technology stock prices, endogenously controlling for structural changes in the market. To this end, we apply Markov-switching vector autoregressive models to the economic system consisting of oil...
