چکیده مقاله:

Economically optimal management of a continuous cover forest is considered here. Initially, there is a large number of trees of different sizes and the forest may contain several species. We want to optimize the harvest decisions over time, using continuous cover forestry, which is denoted by CCF. We maximize our objective function, the expected present value, with consideration of stochastic prices, timber quality variations and dynamically changing spatial competition. The problem is solved using an adaptive control function. The parameters of the control function are optimized via the first order optimum conditions based on a multivariate polynomial approximation of the objective function. The second order maximum conditions are investigated and used to determine relevant parameter ranges. The procedure is described and optimal results are derived for a general function multi-species CCF forest. Concrete examples from Germany, with beech, and from Sweden, with Norwegian spruce, are used to illustrate the methodology and typical numerical results. It is important to make market adapted harvest decisions. If the stochastic price variations are not considered when the harvest decisions are taken, the expected present value is reduced by 23%.

Energy management of virtual power plant to participate in the electricity market using robust optimization

Virtual power plant (VPP) can be studied to investigate how energy is purchased or sold in the presence of electricity market price uncertainty. The VPP uses different intermittent distributed sources such as wind turbine, flexible loads, and locational marginal prices (LMPs) in order to obtain profit. VPP should propose bidding/offering curves to buy/sell from/to day-ahead market. In this pape...

On the Mitra-Wan forest management problem in continuous time

The theory of optimal forest management has been developed in terms of discrete time while a consistent continuous time version of the MitraWan model has never been developed in the literature. No specific economic reason dictates that the discrete time framework should be preferred to the continuous time one, so that it may be the technical complexity that continuous time introduces into the a...

Management Control in Global Mass Market Retailers

For large retail firms, management control is a valid tool with which to face the competition of global markets and to manage corporate complexity. The management control systems of global retailers have specific characteristics that stem from the geographical dispersion of their organisational units and frequently from the existence of cooperative alliances with other companies
