We consider a supply function equilibrium (SFE) model of interaction in an electricity market. We assume a linear demand function and consider a competitive fringe and several strategic players all having capacity limits and affine marginal costs. The choice of SFE over Cournot equilibrium and the choice of affine marginal costs is reviewed in the context of the existing literature. We assume t...

In this paper, we present an empirical analysis of deregulated electricity prices. We begin by examining the distributional and temporal properties of the price process in a non-parametric framework. This analysis is followed by comparing the forecasting ability of several different statistical models. The findings reveal several characteristics unique to electricity prices including determinis...

As the electricity industry in California undergoes a process of fundamental restructuring, important new products and markets will be created while others will lose signi cance. In this paper, we make an initial survey of the products and markets that will be prominent in the emerging new electricity industry. We describe approaches to analyzing the prospects for, and the impacts of, market po...

in this study, hydrus2d/3d software was used to estimate the hydraulic parameters of van genuchten-mualem model via inverse modeling using double-ring infiltrometers data in 3 different soil textures. nine scenarios of inverse modeling (divided in three groups) were considered with different number (5, 4 and 3) of fitted hydraulic parameters for optimization. in the first group, simulation was ...

Slope instability triggered by rainfall is common in tropical countries like India, where the soil of hill slopes are generally unsaturated condition, having higher strength than saturated condition due to matric suction. This study aims investigate change pore water pressure (PWP) with infiltration into slope and corresponding effect stability on different from regions India. By applying surfa...

Abstract Background People with Parkinson’s (PwP) lead sedentary lifestyles compared to healthy peers. Personal influences including low self-efficacy and poor outcome expectation appear predict exercise adherence more accurately than disease severity. The purpose of this review is identify successful behavioural-change interventions that promote among PwP. Methods Databases EBSCO, Medline, CIN...

شرایط افروزش و اشتعال سوخت‌های گداخت هسته‌ای در حضور ناخالص­‌ها، یکی از موارد مهمی است که طراحی قرص‌های سوخت باید مورد توجه قرار گیرد. این مقاله اثر ناخالصی هسته سنگین طلا بر کلیه فرایندهای احتراق پلاسمای غیرتعادلی دوتریم- تریتیم مدل چهار دمایی آن شکل تابع توزیع انرژی رفتار فوتون‌ها تأثیر می‌گذارد بررسی گرفته است. مطالعه شامل اثرات منفی سوخت، طول زمان تشکیل لکه داغ نتایج محاسبات عددی به­ دست آم...
