The Effect of Risk Characteristics on the Willingness to Pay for Mortality Risk Reductions from Electric Power Generation

Itaoka, Kenshi; Saito, Aya; Krupnick, Alan; Adamowicz, … - In: Environmental & Resource Economics 33 (2006) 3, pp. 371-398

The objective of this study is to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) for the reduction of mortality risks caused by fossil fuel (natural gas, coal and oil) versus nuclear electric power generation systems and to examine the influence of risk characteristics involved with electric power generation...

Wind integration into various generation mixtures

Maddaloni, Jesse D.; Rowe, Andrew M.; Kooten, G. … - In: Renewable Energy 34 (2009) 3, pp. 807-814

A load balance model is used to quantify the economic and environmental effects of integrating wind power into three typical generation mixtures. System operating costs over a specified period are minimized by controlling the operating schedule of the existing power generating facilities for a...

Multi-objective optimization by learning automata

Liao, H.; Wu, Q. - In: Journal of Global Optimization 55 (2013) 2, pp. 459-487

This paper presents a novel method of multi-objective optimization by learning automata (MOLA) to solve complex multi-objective optimization problems. MOLA consists of multiple automata which perform sequential search in the solution domain. Each automaton undertakes dimensional search in the...

Approaching wind power forecast deviations with internal ex-ante self-balancing

Scharff, Richard; Amelin, Mikael; Söder, Lennart - In: Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 106-115

Short-term variations in wind power generation make real-time balancing of load and generation a more challenging task for the Transmission System Operator (TSO). One issue of interest that could facilitate the efficient integration of wind power is to shift larger parts of the balancing...

More Wind Power Integration with Adjusted Energy Carriers for Space Heating in Northern China

Long, Hongyu; Xu, Kunyao; Xu, Ruilin; He, Jianjun - In: Energies 5 (2012) 9, pp. 3279-3294

In Northern China, due to the<strong> </strong>high penetration of coal-fired cogeneration facilities, which are generally equipped with extraction-condensing steam turbines, lots of wind power resources may be wasted during the heating season. In contrast, considerable coal is consumed in the power generation...

Estimating the potential of controlled plug-in hybrid electric vehicle charging to reduce operational and capacity expansion costs for electric power systems with high wind penetration

Weis, Allison; Jaramillo, Paulina; Michalek, Jeremy - In: Applied Energy 115 (2014) C, pp. 190-204

Electric power systems with substantial wind capacity require additional flexibility to react to rapid changes in wind farm output and mismatches in the timing of generation and demand. Controlled variable-rate charging of plug-in electric vehicles allows demand to be rapidly modulated,...
