We consider a mid-sized private electricity generating company that plans to enter the market that is partially regulated. There is a cap and trade system in operation in the industry. There are nine possible power plant types that the company considers to invest on through a planning horizon. Some of these plants may include a carbon capture and storage technology. We develop a stochastic mixed-integer...
During 1990 – 2007, Thailand's CO2 emission from energy sector increased substantially by 190%, as compared to world average growth of 40% for the same period. To curb CO2 emission, it is of vital importance to understand the impact of energy supply and consumption on emission under different scenarios. This study investigates the abatement options and its associated greenhouse gas under three scenarios...
Traditional trading methods are based on the integrated optimization problems of economy and environmental protection, but do not consider the effects on demand-side. A revised model for medium and shortterm trade planning is presented in this paper. It firstly forecasts the industry electric quantity of peak, flat, valley monthly on the demand side using the parameter-modified grey model and consider...
In this paper we emphasize the fundamental importance of relating the short-term efficiencies in utilizing the existing equipment to the capital cost of candidate new investments. We suggest that the systematic assessment of candidate investments based on understanding the break-even cumulative short-term system performance with the capital cost of the investments is the key to selecting the investments...
Building on the extensive research in Virtual Reality (VR), we are proposing a new dynamic prototype for modelling and simulating carbon emissions in a virtual village called VIRVIL. VIRVIL is a simulated settlement for the assessment of the impact of low and zero carbon technologies and measures in the built environment. The prototype will focus on the impact on the community as a whole, as well...
