The high risks for the health and work ability of the workers of the electricity sector notwithstanding, there is a lack of studies on this topic in Brazil. Our purpose is to identify the health and work ability profile of the workers of a private electricity company in São Paulo. A cross-sectional study analyzing 475 workers of a private electricity company was adopted and data were collected ...

Losses reduction initiatives in distribution systems have been activated due to the increasing cost of supplying electricity, the shortage in fuel with ever-increasing cost to produce more power, and the global warming concerns. These initiatives have been introduced to the utilities in shape of incentives and penalties. Recently, the electricity distribution companies in Oman have been incenti...

The basis of this article is an ethnographical study conducted in a German electricity provider company. The energy supply sector is an important domain in the field of emergency management research since electricity providers maintain an important infrastructure in various crisis scenarios. There exist many dependencies and interrelations between power infrastructure providers and authorities ...

We use theoretical and numerical general equilibrium models to analyze the Regional Greenhouse Gas Emission Initiative (RGGI), a cap-and-trade scheme to limit carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generators across ten states in the northeast U.S. Although RGGI’s economic impacts are small, they induce substantial increases in power exports from unconstrained states which result in emission...

In this paper a model based analysis of competition in the German electricity market is presented. Applying a multi-regional two-stage model, which captures interregional transmission constraints and the impact of forward trading on spot market decisions, potential for exercising market power of the four dominant electricity producers has been found. Assuming Cournot behavior in the spot market...

This paper addresses the problem of market risk management for a company in the electricity industry. When dealing with corporate volumetric exposure, there is a need for a methodology that helps to manage the aggregate risks in energy markets. The originality of the approach presented lies in the use of intervals to formulate a specific portfolio optimization problem under stochastic dominance...

The current study reanalyzed 250 electrical fatalities in the construction industry from 1996 to 2002 into seven patterns based on source of electricity (power line, energized equipment, improperly installed or damaged equipment), direct contact or indirect contact through some source of injury (boom vehicle, metal bar or pipe, and other conductive material). Each fatality was coded in terms of...

The work presented in this paper concerns the development of a smartphone application for the monitoring of energy consumption relative to a domestic electricity grid. An algorithm has been integrated in the smartphone application allowing Enel (the main Italian Electrical Company) customers to have, on their mobile phone, clear and transparent information about the energy consumption of their ...
