Investment timing and optimal capacity choice for small hydropower projects
This paper presents a method for assessing small hydropower projects that are subject to uncertain electricity prices. We present a real options-based method with continuous scaling, and we find that there is a unique price limit for initiating the project. If the current electricity price is below this limit it is never optimal to invest, but above this limit investment is made according to th...
متن کاملInvestment Timing and Capacity Choice for Small-Scale Wind Power Under Uncertainty
This paper presents a method for evaluation of investments in small-scale wind power under uncertainty. It is assumed that the price of electricity is uncertain and that an owner of a property with wind resources has a deferrable opportunity to invest in one wind power turbine within a capacity range. The model evaluates investment in a set of projects with different capacity. It is assumed tha...
متن کاملPreliminary Site Selection of Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants - A GIS-based approach
The first stage in development and design of Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants (PSHP) is finding the optimum location. This paper presents a methodology for preliminary site selection of PSHP with the help of geospatial data analysis in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. The conventional method of PSHP site selection has certain limitations and is not cost and time effective. The...
متن کاملInvestment, Capacity Choice and Outsourcing under Uncertainty
In this paper, we formulate a firm’s investment in a production facility with maximum capacity and outsourcing strategy. Existing literature of capacity choice results in an explosive capacity and long delay in investment. Actually, there are slight possibility that a firm installs a facility with an explosive capacity, instead, a firm can outsource production when the demand exceeds its capaci...
متن کاملInvestment and capacity choice under uncertain demand
Papers published in this report series are preliminary versions of journal articles and not for quotations. Abstract This paper extends the real options literature by discussing an investment problem, where a firm has to determine optimal investment timing and optimal capacity choice at the same time under conditions of irreversible investment expenditures and uncertainty in future demand. Afte...
