External costs of electricity generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internalizing of external costs leads la a beller allocation of economic resources, and so to an improvement of welfare. However, if the external effects that can be quantified and monetized are added to the internal costs, the cost relations between different electricity generation systems are not necessarily changed. Of course, the underlying assumptions (like dose-response relationships) are very uncertain, and some external effects thac could be important cannot be monetized. However, statements of other authors that with certainty quanllfiable external effects are high (of the order of magnitude afthe internal costs) can be relativized.

The aim of this study is to calculate the marginal private and social costs of two thermal power plants in Isfahan region for a particular day in January 2010. For this purpose a nonlinear planning model with linear constraints has been used. The objective function (social cost) which is a twofold objective function is calculated by the summation of variable costs and external costs of power ...

متن کاملThe Social Costs of Electricity Generation—Categorising Different Types of Costs and Evaluating Their Respective Relevance
Various electricity generation technologies using different primary energy sources are available. Many published studies compare the costs of these technologies. However, most of those studies only consider plant-level costs and do not fully take into account additional costs that societies may face in using these technologies. This article reviews the literature on the costs of electricity gen...
