Nowadays, there are several demand response (DR) programs which are offered to electricity customers in different countries. Accordingly system operators are usually facing with appropriate designing and pricing of DR programs that could be incentive for consumers to participate in such programs which lead to improvement of some technical and economic characteristics. In this paper, time-of-use (TOU)...
There is widespread recognition of the need to institute demand response (DR) in today's electricity markets. During critical peaks in the demand for electricity, such as during summer heat waves, wholesale electricity prices can rise to their highest levels. Basically, demand response programs are divided into two main categories namely, incentive-based programs and time-based programs. The focus...
At present, the development of China's dairy industry is an important stage. On the one hand, foreign companies speed up the penetration of Chinese dairy industry; on the other hand, domestic dairy enterprises competed fiercely. It is necessary to objectively measure the contribution of various production factors and technical progress in dairy industry to development in order to achieve a better...
Rice is the dominant staple crop and also is crucial to maintain food security in China. This paper provides empirical evidence on the supply, demand and stock of China rice from the econometric estimation of the elasticity with respect to the price and non-price factors, the main purpose is to identify the key variables of determining rice supply, to predict demand, supply and trade of China's rice...
Using the parameter estimation method and latent variable approach, this paper investigates China's industrial output elasticity and TFP growth, and estimate the contribution of various factors to output growth from 1952 to 2007. The main findings are that the growth mode of industrial is extensive from 1952 to 2007. But the importance of each factors to growth have phased characteristics, especially...
In this paper, we analyze the dynamic impacts on energy intensity from energy price, technological progress, and ICT investment changes based on comparable Input-Output table series using translog cost function. We conclude that energy price change has essential impacts on energy intensity. Induced technological progress also can save energy. Along with time going, the investment adjustment will be...
We describe a new label-free biosensor array chip developed for the real-time, simultaneous monitoring of multiple molecular binding reactions. It is composed of monolithically integrated grating couplers, microfluidic channels and spiral cavity silicon photonic wire sensors. The grating couplers use a novel design for coupling to the transverse magnetic mode of a silicon photonic wire. They contain...
This paper describes the relationship between logistics and economy of 1990-2008 years in Hebei, and explains the relationship by empirical analysis, and puts forward relevant suggestions about the logistics industry with the economy joint development. Not only has logistics industry played fundamental role in regional economic, but also constraints the regional economic operation speed and efficiency...
With domestic residential housing market converting from "resources orientation" to "market orientation", it's a cry for the government and the housing suppliers to know well about the characteristic of housing consumption pattern of urban households. In this paper, based on the statistics of economic development level and Engel coefficients, rationality of housing consumption...
To solve project cost control problem, the concept of project cost elasticity is introduced and the model of project cost elasticity analysis is proposed. Case study shows that the cost elasticity model is useful and helpful to control project costs. Finally, a road map is provided for stockholders to use cost elasticity model to control project costs.
