In the new deregulated electric power market, energy transactions are generally processed in terms of hourly energy delivery. Failing to fulfill energy delivery obligation may result in penaltalt to energy tiesprodp. This paper studies the relationship between generation level schedule, energy delivery schedule and physical ramp-rate of a generating unit. It is shown that although ramp-rate con...

As the title suggests, this paper compares two “formula” or mechanical investment techniques, dollar cost averaging and a relatively new proposal, value averaging, to a form of random investing to determine if any technique yields superior investment performance. Results indicate that value averaging does provide superior expected investment returns when investment prices are quite volatile and...
