No money, no honey? Financial versus knowledge and demand constraints on innovation

Gabriele Pellegrino

The paper adds to the literature on the barriers to innovation in two ways. First, we assess comparatively what mostly constrains firms' ability to translate investment in innovation activity into new products and processes, whether it is mainly finance, a ...

An Economic Analysis of Pervasive, Incentive-Based Demand Response

Karl Aberer, Tri Kurniawan Wijaya, Matteo Vasirani

Demand response (DR) emerges as one of the cheapest and greenest solutions to match supply and demand in the electricity sector. While DR has been focused on large and industrial consumers, pervasive implementation (by including residential consumers) is n ...

Pervasive Data Analytics for Sustainable Energy Systems

Tri Kurniawan Wijaya

With an ever growing population, global energy demand is predicted to keep increasing. Furthermore, the integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity grid (to reduce carbon emission and humanity's dependency on fossil fuels), complicates eff ...

Characterizing the Optimal Incentives for Pervasive Demand Response

Karl Aberer, Tri Kurniawan Wijaya, Matteo Vasirani

Demand response (DR) emerges as one of the cheapest and greenest solutions to match supply and demand in the electricity sector. Compared to price-based DR, incentive-based DR is considered to be more promising, since it does not require consumers to monit ...

Decentralized Planning of Energy Demand for the Management of Robustness and Discomfort

Karl Aberer, Matteo Vasirani

The robustness of smart grids is challenged by unpredictable power peaks or temporal demand oscillations that can cause blackouts and increase supply costs. Planning of demand can mitigate these effects and increase robustness. However, the impact on consu ...
