Hydropower Economics (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

HYDROPOWER ECONOMICS examines sustainable alternate energy sources beginning with modeling hydropower and extending the model to include thermal power and wind power. The book will use various econometric measures, equilibrium metrics, OR methods, and DEA/productivity analyses to analyze and model the optimal use of these alternate energy sources. Because these problems are dynamic in nature, dynamic methods are used to model the problems. The book derives results on the allocation of the amounts of alternate sources of energy (water, thermal, and wind) required to produce electricity at acceptable levels over time. Graphic illustrations of the analytical and mathematical modeling used to reach research conclusions are used throughout the book.

In addition to the analyses, various market scenarios are discussed and how effective market systems may be in delivering electric power at acceptable and sustainable levels of supply, cost, and price. Productivity frontiers (benchmarks) are outlined in the book. These productivity frontiers or benchmarks are established from data derived from the Scandinavian experience. Optimal solutions for sustainable alternate energy systems at acceptable costs are outlined in the monograph.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book claims that if one is to correctly comprehend deregulation in electricity markets, then one must first develop an appreciation for the optimal use of hydro and thermal power. ... this book would have profited from a thorough review of the extant literature. ... it is important to note that the author deals well with his selected topics. ... I recommend this book to all readers who wish to learn more about the economics of hydroelectric power." (Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Interfaces, Vol. 39 (1), January-February, 2009)

Aus den Rezensionen: "Seit jeher können Wasserkraftanlagen nicht singulär betrachtet warden [sic], sondern müssen im Gesamtkontext von einerseits den naturgegebenen Möglichkeiten des Wasserdargebotes und ggf. dessen Speicherung sowie andererseits der Stromabnehmer in Verbindung mit dem Stromversorgungsnetz betrachtet werden. In dem neuen Fachbuch widmet sich ein Ökonom systematisch diesen Fragen, indem er ausgehend von einer Einzelanlage deren wesentliche energiewirtschaftliche Kenngrößen mit betriebswirtschaftlichen Ansätzen erläutert ..."
