This thesis investigates methodologies for improving the demand responsiveness of transportation systems through flexibility. The methodologies propose advances both in demand and supply models having a focus on supply-demand interactions. The demand side ...
This paper estimates a translog cost function for Swiss water utilities. From the cost function, we are able to estimate measures of marginal costs as well as economies of production density, customer density and scale, which are important determinants in ...
We study the effect of Demand-Response (DR) in dynamic real-time electricity markets. We use a two-stage market model that takes into account the dynamical aspects of generation, demand, and DR. We study the real-time market prices in two scenarios: in the ...

The network industries have been undergoing a process of reform, where liberalisation is one of the main features. This thesis studies the effect of liberalisation, with and without competition, on the incumbent's incentives to innovate. A model of incumbe ...
Long spillways often include more than one chute aerator to assure an appropriate cavitation protection. The first aerator guarantees sufficient bottom air concentration along a limited streamwise distance attributed to deaeration. Further downstream, the ...
The present thesis applies the property hedonic price model in order to assess the economic value of environmental amenities and discrimination on the Swiss rental markets of Geneva and Zurich. Indeed, economic textbooks teach that differentials in environ ...
Mini and small hydropower is a renewable, clean and efficient resource for the production of mechanical and electrical power. By offsetting thermal generation, it can be a leading technology in climate change mitigation and sustainable development. Small h ...
Two operational formats namely mass customization and mass production can be implemented to satisfy customer preference-based demand. The mass customization system consists of two stages: the initial build-to-stock phase and the final customize-to-order ph ...
Energy market liberalization is changing pricing mechanisms for wholesale electricity. This work shows that it is essential to appreciate and mirror these changes in the modeling of electricity markets for policy assessment. We develop a framework composed ...
