In all over the world the demand of energy is increasing day by day and fossil fuels are depleting at a very fast rate, therefore to fulfill the energy demand of the world there is a need to find out an alternative fuel and in this depleting fossil fuel era Biodiesel is one of the best available energy source to overcome the world’s energy demand. There is a long list of shrubs, trees, and herb...

We propose a new practical methodology for risksensitive stochastic optimal control, showing that material decreases in risk indices are possible with relatively little loss of average case performance. Cost optimisation of energy system assets has typically been carried out under the assumption of risk-neutrality, minimising average operational costs. The risk profile of control strategies is ...

a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: C1 Q4 Keywords: Electricity demand elasticity Disaggregated data Cointegration Granger causality Structural break German industry We estimate electricity demand elasticities for eight subsectors of the German manufacturing industry using annual data from EU-KLEMS and the International Energy Agency for 1970–2007. The subsectoral approach allows to retai...

in the science of operation research and decision theory, selection is the most important process. selection is a process that studies multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria, related to the science of management, which are mostly incompatible with each other. the multi criteria selection of a renewable energy portfolio is one of the main issues considered in multi criteria literature. i...

The highest priority of so called, projected passive houses is to meet the appropriate energy demand. Every single material and layer which is injected into a dwelling has a certain energy quantity stored. The passive houses include optimized insulation levels with minimal thermal bridges, minimum of air leakage through the building, utilization of passive solar and internal gains, and good cir...

Increasing concerns over climate change have limited the liberal usage of available energy technology options. India faces a formidable challenge to meet its energy needs and provide adequate energy of desired quality in various forms to users in sustainable manner at reasonable costs. In this paper, work carried out with an objective to study the role of various energy technology options under...

E nergy consumption has increased significantly in Iran during the recent decades. In this study, an inter-industrial model has been improved to investigate the sources of the changes in the energy consumption of the country. The input-output tables of Iran for the years 1988 and 2001 have been employed as the database of the model. The innovation of this research allows the researchers to stud...

In this paper, the optimum design for renewable energy system powered an aquaculture pond was determined. Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software program, which is developed by U.S National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), is used for analyzing the feasibility of the stand alone and hybrid system in this study. HOMER program determines whether renewable energy resou...
