This paper provides some insight on the issues raised by the Tradable Emission Permit System (TEPS) proposed in a Green Paper of the EU in 2000. It is based on the results of the POLES model for the simulation of the Marginal Abatement Cost curves of the EU countries and on the ASPEN software for the assessment of the corresponding structure of permit market. The first section identifies the is...

Green electricity (GE) has emerged as one of the most interesting instruments for promoting renewable electricity in liberalized markets, at least in theory. Indeed, some experiences have already been carried out, mostly in the U.S. and Europe. However, most of them have been largely unsuccessful. In this chapter, we look at previous surveys and studies carried out on customer response, and pro...

in this study, green pepper was dried by a laboratory scale microwave-convective dryer. the effects of microwave power on drying rate, effective moisture diffusivity, and energy consumption of green pepper were studied at four different microwave powers of 180, 360, 540, and 720w. the drying data were fitted to the four thin-layer drying models. the moisture reduction of the green pepper sample...

Green building is a new building system which based positive cycle of ecological system, green economy, energy-saving society and green technology. [2] The pattern of green building is an important research of architecture style in the present society. The energy-saving in illumination system is an important pattern in energy-saving field and is of great significance. Illumination system is a t...

This paper studies a new renewable energy investment model through crowdfunding, which is motivated by emerging community solar farms. In this paper we develop a sequential game theory model to capture the interactions among crowdfunders, the solar farm owner, and an electricity company who purchases renewable energy generated by the solar farm. By characterizing a unique subgame-perfect equili...

In the European policy debate, tradable green certificates (TGC) have been suggested to be a superior regulatory framework for promoting the diffusion of renewable electricity technologies. The purpose of this paper is to assess the performance of the Swedish TGC system, contributing to the European debate on the suitability of different types of frameworks. The expectations of the TGC system w...

With the announcement of carbon peaking and neutrality target in China as well launch nationwide green power renewable generation trading, one key issues is how to design an effective portfolio standard (RPS) build efficient tradable certificate (TGC) market. The quota that stipulates share electricity supplied from qualified energy (RE) sources has substantial impacts on TGC market, occurred t...

In formal scattering theory, Green functions are obtained as solutions of a distributional equation. In this paper, we use the Sturm-Liouville theory to compute Green functions within a rigorous mathematical theory. We shall show that both the Sturm-Liouville theory and the formal treatment yield the same Green functions. We shall also show how the analyticity of the Green functions as function...

Currently, many socially responsible governments adopt economic incentives and deterrents to manage environmental impacts of electricity suppliers. Considering the Stackelberg leadership of the government, the government’s role in the competition of power plants in an electricity market is investigated. A one-population evolutionary game model of power plants is developed to study how their pro...
