The objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of a large deployment of Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB) in Norway on utilization of hydropower in 2030. A ZEB is a building with low energy demand, which produces on an annual basis, as much renewable energy as its energy consumption, and is considered as one of the key elements to reach EUs 20-20-20 goals. The simulations are conducted using...
Background People want to be well informed and ask for more information regarding their health. The public can use different sources (i.e. the Internet, health care providers, friends, family, television, radio, and newspapers) to access information about their health. Insight into the types and sources of vaccine related information that parents use, and reasons why they seek extra information is...
With an increasing wind power penetration, more generation intermittency will be added to the power system, requiring higher flexibility and thus more regulating reserves. Based on high resolution numerical weather prediction models and wind speed measurements, the actual and the forecasted wind power production is simulated for five scenarios covering the years 2010, 2015 and 2020. These scenarios...
Summary form only given. In this paper a stochastic dynamic optimization model is used to analyze the effect of different market designs on generation investment in restructured power systems. The expansion decisions of profit-maximizing investors are simulated under four different market designs: Energy only, capacity payment, capacity obligation, and capacity subscription. The results show that...
Summary form only given. A comprehensive methodology is developed for the analysis of power system vulnerability with respect to energy shortage, capacity shortage and power system failures. The basic method is risk analysis, where risk is defined in terms of the probability of events and their consequences. The objective is to identify medium and high-risk situations that require corrective actions...
