Curtailing Intermittent Generation in Electrical Systems

Energy generation from intermittent renewable sources introduces additional variability into electrical systems, resulting in a higher cost of balancing against the increased variabilities. Ways to balance demand and supply for electricity include using flexible generation resources, storage operations, and curtailing intermittent generation. This paper focuses on the operational and environmen...

Wealth Inequality, Wealth Constraints and Economic Performance

It is well known that if costlessly enforceable contracts regulate all of the actions of economic actors that a ect the well being of others, competitive equilibria are Pareto e cient regardless of the distribution of wealth.
