This paper describes one approach to find two optimum energy storages (ESs) to build a hybrid system which is part of a virtual power plant. In this paper it means the combination of the hybrid energy storage system and wind power plant (WPP). The discussed approach is applied in a case study on the power market in western Denmark. The optimum ESs are selected based on the highest net present v...

Investment in ERP projects has become a dominant part of IT investment of many enterprises. Traditional approaches used for such project evaluation are mainly based on Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV).

The prospect of immigration reform has renewed farmers’ concerns of serious labor shortages and cost increases, which may urge highly labor-intensive specialty crop farmers to switch to less-labor-intensive technology. The large-scale mechanization of the Florida sugarcane harvest during the 1970s/80s serves as an historical example of how technologies evolved due to changes in local labor mark...

If policy discounting is to have any welfare relevance, it must be a derivative of a social welfare function. If that derivative is to have a net present value (npv) form, the baseline allocation must be stationary. Given a stationary baseline in an overlapping generations growth economy the inter-generationally fair discount rate under the relative utilitarian welfare function equals the growt...

The Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) business case described hereafter, is based on 3G business cases, particularly regarding the technical infrastructure, but the 2,5G underlying infrastructure as an initial step is also taken into account. Following the definition of appropriate service sets, and taking into account demand scenarios established within the project, this work has been foc...
