The actual state of electricity consumption characteristics in the residential sector in Thailand was presented. They were an essential information for the total energy usage estimation. They were used for investigating the feasibility of energy conservation. A questionnaire interview survey of...

In the context of the German Energiewende (energy transition), energy system modelling is used to investigate possible future scenarios of the national energy system. These models depend on regionally disaggregated input data to ade-quately capture interdependencies in the energy system at high...

In the context of the German Energiewende (energy transition), energy system modelling is used to investigate possible future scenarios of the national energy system. These models depend on regionally disaggregated input data to ade-quately capture interdependencies in the energy system at high...

Many fuzzy linear regression (FLR) models are normally very sensitive to the changes on the input data so that the results could significantly be changed even with some small change on one or more input parameters. Therefore, many researchers have been interested in creating a so called robust...

This research adds to the assessment of the causal relationships between residential electricity consumption and its explanatory factors. Johansen cointegration, autoregressive distributed lag model, the vector error correction model, and Wald causality tests are used. In both the short and long...

Energy conservation policy plays an important role in energy resource deficit situations. The potential for conservation in heat supply systems has great significance for Russia and other countries in the Northern latitudes. This potential saving of power resources in Russian cities is presented...

The objective of this paper is to estimate the energy saving potential in China's paper industry by determining energy intensity under different scenarios. Cointegration model and stability test are applied to formulate the equilibrium equation. Results show that energy price, industry...

Identifying free-ridership is significant to several issues relevant to program evaluation, including the calculation of net program benefits and assessments of political acceptability. Despite the potential of free-ridership to seriously undermine the economic efficiency of a program...

The Washington State Energy Office (WSEO) has been running the Oil Help program for three years. Originally operated as a loan program, Oil Help switched to rebates during the 1987 and 1988. Rebates for oil furnace replacements made up over 70 percent of rebate funds, which totaled about $1.3...
