An Integrated Assessment of Super & Smart Grids

Ricci, Elena Claire - 2014

We assess the optimality of investments in power grid innovation, under both technological options of Super and Smart Grids, using the WITCH model in the version that includes Super-Grids. Super Grids allow producing and trading of electricity generated by large scale concentrated solar power...

Running Out of Numbers : Scarcity of IP Addresses and What to Do About It

Edelman, Benjamin - 2014

The Internet's current numbering system is nearing exhaustion: Existing protocols allow only a finite set of computer numbers ("IP addresses"), and central authorities will soon deplete their supply. I evaluate a series of possible responses to this shortage: Sharing addresses impedes new...

Wireless Grids or Personal Infrastructure : Policy Implications of an Emergent Open Standard

McKnight, Lee W.; Treglia, Joseph; Kuehn, Andreas - 2013

A wireless grid is characterized by the ad-hoc dynamic sharing of physical and virtual resources among heterogeneous devices. This paper reviews wireless grids standards development, in which the authors are engaged, and draws policy lessons from the emergent phenomenon to consider if they apply...

Restructuring Research : Communication Costs and the Democratization of University Innovation

Agrawal, Ajay; Goldfarb, Avi - 2013

We report evidence indicating that Bitnet adoption facilitated increased research collaboration between US universities. However, not all institutions benefited equally. Using panel data from seven top engineering journals, Bitnet connection records, and a variety of institution ranking data, we...

Towards Developing a Confucian Integrity Index Grid

Low, K C P - 2013

Lloyd (2012) spoke of CEOs of large companies rivaling or challenging one another for bigger packets while Kothari (2010) highlighted “executive greed” or the lack of integrity, high executive pay and that corruption are indeed on the rise, but so far, no yardstick or measurements have been...

Impact of Electric Vehicles on High-Voltage Grids : A Swiss Case Study

Salah, Florian - 2013

An increasing number of electric vehicles (EV) will have an impact on required capacity of transmission and distribution grids. For target grid planning, it is essential to identify local impact in terms of infrastructure overloads. We study the impact of EV charging loads on the Swiss...

Solving Dynamic Programming Problems on a Computational Grid

Cai, Yongyang - 2013

We implement a dynamic programming algorithm on a computational grid consisting of loosely coupled processors, possibly including clusters and individual workstations. The grid changes dynamically during the computation, as processors enter and leave the pool of workstations. The algorithm is...

Solving DSGE Models Without a Grid

Levintal, Oren - 2013

This paper presents a global solution method to DSGE models, which does not depend on a grid and hence does not suffer from the curse of dimensionality. The method enables to approximate the Taylor series of the policy function at any arbitrary point of the state space. Once the Taylor series is...
