Die Nachfrage nach mobil erbrachten Gesundheitsdienstleistungen steigt an. Dabei ist IT-Unterstützung verfügbar, Dienstleistungsorganisationen in der Domäne müssen aber mit knappen Budgets und einem Engpass an Fachkräften zurechtkommen. Gleichzeitig wird eine hohe Servicequalität...

Der vorliegende Forschungsbericht zeigt die Ergebnisse der Prozessdokumentation und Informationsbedarfsanalyse ausgewählter medizinischer und administrativer Prozesse im Elisabeth-Krankenhaus Essen. Die Arbeiten sind Teil des Projekts Hospital Engineering und zielen auf die Identifikation von...

For the further development of an integrated European electricity market, congestion management mechanisms are one of the major market design issues. Against the background of increasing generation from RES and resulting congestions, an efficient management of network congestions is gaining...

Investments in power generation assets are risky due to high construction costs and long asset lifetimes. Technology diversification in generation portfolios represents one option to reduce long-term investment risks for risk-averse decision makers. In this article, we analyze the impact of...

Future congestion management is one of the major market design issues in the European electricity market. In the light of the sharp increase in redispatch measures seen within the last years, the importance of an efficient management of network congestion increases particularly in Germany....

In this article we discuss welfare-optimal capacity allocation of different electricity generation technologies available for serving system demand. While the classical peak load pricing theory derives the efficient portfolio structure from a deterministic marginal production cost curve ("merit...

In Germany and other Central and Northern European countries, energy demand for space heating dominates the energy demand of households. In line with European and national energy efficiency and emission reduction objectives, policy makers have identified the residential building sector...

With the introduction of incentive regulation in many network industries, different approaches how to remunerate invested capital have been used. Under incentive regulation, many regula-tors remunerate the regulated asset base with a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) based on a pre-defined...

Germany’s nuclear phase out and an increasing share of fluctuating RES production amplifies the North-South congestion problem in the German electricity grid. But congestion management becomes a serious issue not only in the German but in the whole European electricity system as German...

Die sich stets weiter entwickelnden Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IuK) sind Treiber eines beispiellosen Strukturwandels: Sie durchdringen und pragen zunehmend unsere Kommunikation, wirtschaftliches Handeln und soziale Interaktionen. Auch im schulischen Bildungssystem muss man...
