Accurate prediction of long-term electricity demand has a significant role in demand side management and electricity network planning and operation. Demand over-estimation results in over-investment in network assets, driving up the electricity prices, while demand underestimation may lead to under-investment resulting in unreliable and insecure electricity. In this manuscript, we apply deep ne...

Forecasting prices in electricity markets is critical for consumers and producers in planning their operations and managing their price risk. We utilize the generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic (GARCH) method to forecast the electricity prices in two regions of New York: New York City and Central New York State. We contrast the one-day forecasts of the GARCH against techniqu...

Tools for fostering tourism sustainable development have evolved during a lifespan of 35 years in Mexico. There have been noted two strategic tendencies that planning agency FONATUR has implemented. New components of the planning process such as public participation and local initiatives as well as public environmental concern have modified the previous vision. The new vision is intended to be ...

In a competitive electricity market environment, power producers and consumers need, on one hand, accurate load and/or electricity consumption forecasting tools. These tools will ensure an a-priori knowledge on the amount of energy needed for production. On the other hand, forecasting electricity prices, may play a very important role for producers and consumers when planning bidding strategies...

In the paper alternatives for expansion of Macedonian electricity supply system are presented. MESSAGE tool is used modelling system, developing scenarios, to analyse cost optimal energy pathways and determine generation technology mix. The calculations period 2020-2050 made in a 5-year interval. Two scenarios developed: Scenario 1 – BAU (Business as Usual) scenario, where current structure pre...

Currently, politicians, university representatives, scholars and leading NGOs share a strong belief in the ability of educational systems to generate positive attitudes to sustainable development (SD) among citizens, with the idea of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as perhaps the most apparent expression of this conviction. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether ESD might h...

Electricity generation in rural communities is an acute problem militating against socioeconomic well-being of the populace in these communities in developing countries, including Nigeria. In this paper, assessments of wind-energy potential in selected sites from three major geopolitical zones of Nigeria were investigated. For this, daily wind-speed data from Katsina in northern, Warri in south...
