This paper reports on some practical work undertaken to assess the use of a formalised configuration language to support industrial system development and evolution. The language and supporting analysis and system generation tools are the main result of the PROTEUS1 project. The work described is based on practical application of the PROTEUS approach in Stentofon, a Norwegian industrial company...

This paper reviews the on-going study at Florida Power and Light Company to identify, evaluate and pursue generation technologies that best fit our future needs. Although nuclear and alternate technologies are reviewed, the primary emphasis is the utilization of coal in an acceptable form.

This paper studies optimal long-term electric power capacity strategies with capacity options. Gencos can sign contracts with Discos, where such contracts take the form of capacity options that may or may not be executed by Discos at some pre-specified maturation date. Capacity not offered in the options market, or for which options by Discos are not executed, can then be offered in the spot ma...

This paper explores a wide range of different decision criteria for the bidding problem when severe uncertainty about inputs requires expressing them as bounded families of distributions. A GENCO maximizes its expected returns given its own risk profile and its perception of market risks. This can be formulated as a multicriteria optimization problem. The set of different decision criteria exam...

Türkiye’de elektrik piyasasının serbestleştirilmesi adına yapılan önemli reformlardan biri kamu varlıklarının özelleştirilerek devletin zamanla piyasadan çekilmesidir. Bu çalışmada mülkiyetindeki üretim santrallerinin özelleştirilme sürecini planlayan analitik bir yaklaşım sunulmaktadır. Özelleştirme süreci kapasite azaltımı olarak ele alınmış ve Kapasite Azaltım Planlama Modeli geliştirilmişti...
