In this paper we study the relative advantage of investing in a natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant versus a … coal-fired power plant with and without carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. For the investment analysis under … into consideration. For the assumptions made, we find evidence that the NGCC and (to a lesser degree) the conventional hard …

A major problem in the expansion of renewable energies sources is finding the most adequate way to support them. The design of a suitable support scheme is necessary for an efficient development of renewable energies sources (RES). In Brazil, Many projects are delayed after getting the...

This paper presents a proposal for evaluating real options. The existing models are not widely used by corporate managers as they are formally complex, rather difficult to understand and rest on strong implicit assumptions. We propose a possible alternative by using a fuzzy expert system that...

input parameters in traditional real option pricing formula is difficult to accurately determine the number ,so it is common to use some random number or given number , causing the results of error is very larger and affecting investment decisions. In this paper, in order to solve the problem,...

In this paper we investigate the cost effectiveness of coal-fired CCS plants. Two different model approaches are used … postpone the CCS investment leads to much higher threshold prices, rendering the investment less attractive from today …’s perspective. Finally, with a risk-adjusted discount rate for all CCS options it turns out to be more attractive than with a …

We explore the impact of an EU-wide nuclear phase-out by 2030 provided the EU energy and climate policy for 2030 is implemented. Using a numerical simulation model of the European energy industry (LIBEMOD), we find that a complete nuclear phase-out in Europe by 2030 has a moderate impact on...

This paper presents a general electricity-CO2 (ELCO) modeling framework that is able to simulate interactions of the energy-only market with different forms for national policy measures. We set up a two sector model where players can invest into various types of generation technologies including...
