This paper presents some forecasting techniques for energy demand and price prediction, one day ahead. These techniques combine wavelet transform (WT) with fixed and adaptive machine learning/time series models (multi-layer perceptron (MLP), radial basis functions, linear regression, or GARCH)....

The new paradigms and latest developments in the Electrical Grid are based on the introduction of distributed intelligence at several stages of its physical layer, giving birth to concepts such as <i>Smart Grids</i>, <i>Virtual Power Plants</i>, <i>microgrids</i>, <i>Smart Buildings</i> and <i>Smart Environments</i>. <i>Distributed...</i>

In recent years, computer has become powerful tool for prediction of economical and financial variables. Different techniques of topics related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and expert systems extended their place in the economic and financial issues that among these issues can...

The double-dividend hypothesisclaims that green taxes will both improve the environment andreduce the distortions of existing taxes. According to the earlierliterature on the double dividend the tax rate for pollutinggoods should be higher than the Pigovian tax which fully internalizesthe...
