UK climate change policy has long been concerned with the transition to a more sustainable energy mix. The degree of competition in electricity markets rises as these markets become more and more liberalized. In order to survive in such an increasingly competitive setting, electricity producers...

ILO pub-WEP pub. Working paper, cost benefit analysis of solar energy power generation in developing countries - discusses economic implications of choice of technology and its impact on irrigation, the household, and community electric power distribution; considers the role of USA development...

ILO pub-WEP pub. Literature survey of the economic implications and social implications of rural area electrification in developing countries and its role in rural development - deals with power generation, power consumption, use and cost benefit analysis of electricity and its impact on...

ILO pub-WEP pub. Working paper on energy economics relating to fuelwood-based fuel saving stoves and the diffusion of related appropriate choice of technology in developing countries - discusses current manufacturing methods, technical aspects, maintenance issues, need for low-cost product...

Many models have been suggested to deal with the multi-reservoir operation planning stochastic optimization problem involving decisions on water releases from various reservoirs in different time periods of the year. A new approach using genetic algorithm (GA) and linear programming (LP) is...

This paper presents the development of an operating policy model for a multi-reservoir system for hydropower generation by addressing forecast uncertainty along with inflow uncertainty. The stochastic optimization tool adopted is the Bayesian Stochastic Dynamic Programming (BSDP), which...

Electric power is a critical input to modern economies. Generation adequacy and security of supply in power systems running under competition are currently topics of high concern for consumers, regulators and governments. In a market setting, generation investments and adequacy can only be...

This paper estimates a multiproject baseline for the electricity generation sector in the eastern regional grid in India. Baselines have been estimated from units in power plants that were built in the recent past. Baselines with varying stringency criteria have been developed and applied to...
