Planning municipal-scale energy systems under functional interval uncertainties

Zhu, Y.; Li, Y.P.; Huang, G.H. - In: Renewable Energy 39 (2012) 1, pp. 71-84

An interval-parameter chanced-constrained full-infinite mixed-integer programming (ICFMP) approach is proposed for planning energy systems under functional interval uncertainties. ICFMP cannot only deal with crisp intervals, functional intervals, and probability distributions, but also support...

Energy and financial balances of new installed energy systems

Pucker, N.; Schappacher, W. - In: Renewable Energy 9 (1996) 1, pp. 1094-1097

The costs of a photovoltaic energy system are studied. The system is supposed to be in a selfsustaining state: once established is it able to produce the energy necessary also for the substitution of expiring old plants. Here we investigate the financial situation of such a system.
