With increasing amounts of power generation from intermittent sources like wind and solar, capacity planning has not only to account for the expected load variations but also for the stochastics of volatile power feed-in. Moreover investments in power generation are no longer centrally planned in deregulated power markets but rather decided on competitive grounds by individual power companies. This...
In recent years, climate protection has played a growing if not even dominating role in the European energy policy and beyond. In this context, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is discussed as one possible approach to decrease CO2 emissions. Within this article an approach is presented which allows assessing the relevance of CCS, taking into account alternative abatement measures as well as transportation...
As organizations consider themselves to be exposed to intense global competition, knowledge has become more and more important. A successful Knowledge Management strategy is essential for organizations in the modern business world. For this task knowledge oftentimes should be gained out of data amounts, which are not human manageable. Therefore in conjunction with Knowledge Management Data Mining...
A model of the operating curve a semiconductor fabrication facility, which is sufficiently accurate to make capitalization decisions, has been developed. The model is used to simulate the performance of a hypothetical fab that operates under very realistic conditions. Results of the simulation show that the value of additional technological knowledge can be negative Learning more of a good thing is...
In this paper the costs of integrating fluctuating sources like wind or solar into an existing electricity system are quantified using a systematic, theoretically well-founded approach. The paper notably stresses that this requires to measure integration costs against some reference technology and it highlights the link between integration costs and changes in system costs. The costs related to wind...
