The growth of China's industry has been seriously depending on energy and environment. This paper attempts to apply the directional distance function and the Luenberger productivity index to measure the environmental efficiency, environmental total factor productivity, and its components at the level of subindustry in China over the period from 1999 to 2009 while considering energy consumption ...

The industry has rapidly growth and energy supply technology advanced are become main factor which to contribute of the harmonic losses. This problem is one aspect that may affect the capability of the transmission line and also to the efficiency of electricity. This paper proposes a new scheme to allocate the cost pertaining to transmission loss due to harmonics. The proposed method, called as...

Electricity demand and supply forecasts assume special significance vis-Ii-vis ever-increasing demand. Different agencies and authors, to forecast demand, have used various methodologies but on the other hand, no concerted effort is visible in predicting the supply. Moreover none of the methodologies used can be considered perfect. The present study attempts to forecast the two and tends to rea...

Regulatory uncertainty often results in under-investment especially where there are high sunk costs in utilities such as electricity, gas and telecommunications. To ensure security of supply in these industries timely and socially optimal investment is of the essence. A new perspective is provided on the under-investment problem in the regulation of a firm with market power. We compare a politi...

Assessment of the electricity market shows that, electricity market data can be considered "big data". this data has been analyzed by both conventional and modern data mining methods. The predicted variables of supply and demand are considered to be the input of a defined multi-objective for predicting electricity price, which is the result of the defined model. This shows the advantage of appl...

Failures in critical infrastructures can cause major damage to society. Wide-area interruptions (blackouts) in the electricity supply system have severe impacts on societal critical functions and other critical infrastructures, but there is no agreed-upon framework on how to analyze and predict the reliability of electricity supply. Thus, there is a need for an approach to cross-sector risk ana...
