Electricity swing options are Bermudan-style path-dependent derivatives on electrical energy. We consider an electricity market driven by several exogenous risk factors and formulate the pricing problem for a class of swing option contracts with energy and ...
To be profitable, a geothermal energy system must effectively and economically convert a given resource into useful energy services to be delivered to the consumer during different periods of the year. These services include electricity, district heating, ...
The pulp and paper (P&P) industry in industrially mature countries is facing a long-term crisis. Large and modern manufacturing facilities in tropical regions emerge as new competitors. The constant increase of energy costs has also contributed to the fina ...
Concern for the environment has been steadily growing in recent years, and it is becoming more common to include environmental impact and pollution costs in the design problem along with construction, investment and operating costs. To economically respond ...
The current density in tokamak plasmas strongly affects transport phenomena, therefore its understanding and control represent a crucial challenge for controlled thermonuclear fusion. Within the vast framework of tokamak studies, three topics have been tac ...
Process integration techniques have been applied to study a bisulfite mill which produces pulp and three additional by- products: bioethanol, lignosulfonate and yeast. Particular attention was devoted to the integration of the chemical recycling loops whic ...
Solid oxide electrolyte membranes of sputter deposited yttria-stablized zirconia (YSZ) were integrated in silicon technology for applications in micro power generators fuelled by hydrogen or H2+CO. An electrochemically deposited nickel grid was used as mec ...
