Discrete Real Options Models for Inter-Related Generation Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electric power generation business is facing uncertain and competitive environments with much financial risk. In this paper, we design and analyze a real options model for a utility with multiple inter-related generation planning projects. Also, comparisons relative to other models are made and a numerical example is provided so as to illustrate the optimal sequential decision making.

متن کاملUsing Information Generated by a Discrete Event Simulation to Evaluate Real Options in a Research and Development Environment
This article examines how a discrete event simulation can be developed to evaluate the impact of real options on a research and development project. Previous work with real options has been primarily mathematically based and the approach was not transferable to actual projects. The results shown in this article indicate that simulation is a valid method to evaluate real options and that the rea...
