Performance comparison of renewable incentive schemes using optimal control

Oak, Neeraj; Lawson, Daniel; Champneys, Alan - In: Energy 64 (2014) C, pp. 44-57

from the UK onshore wind industry. The model responds to subsidy from each of the four incentive schemes. A utility or … ‘fitness’ function that maximises installed capacity at some fixed time in the future while minimising total cost of subsidy is … postulated. Using this function, the optimal strategy for provision and timing of subsidy for each scheme is calculated. Finally …
