An approach to the solution of decision problems that is based on the computation and analysis of the pay-off matrix is presented. Special Wald, Laplace etc. criteria, as well as subjective probability estimations are applied. The technique is illustrated with an example drawn from designing...

Global energy model GEM-10R has been used to analyse the possible conditions and scale of using space and terrestrial solar power plants in the long-term perspective (up to the end of the 21st century). Different external conditions, when these alternative energy technologies may be feasible,...

The paper describes studies on long-term energy development using the 10-region World Energy Model. Several scenarios of external conditions for energy development are considered. Special attention is paid to the influence of constraints on COSUB align=rightSMALL2/small/sub emissions and...
