ABSTRACT Since a variety of barriers pose challenges to the Indian wind energy sector, the extent to which these barriers hamper this sector and the alternative solutions are largely unknown. We identify several barriers using existing literature, and then using the modified Delphi approach, refine 25 barriers and classify them into five significant dimensions. Later, the Analytical Hierarchical Process determined the ranking of barriers using pairwise comparison matrices. The Grey Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method ranked alternative solutions to these barriers. Results indicate that “financial barrier” is the most important barrier among all dimensions, while “limited government subsidy” is most influential among all sub-barriers. “Availability of adequate funds” is the best alternative to overcome these barriers. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to validate the study findings. The study findings may assist practitioners and policymakers in boosting the current sluggish growth of the Indian wind sector.
由于各种障碍对印度风能部门构成挑战,这些障碍在多大程度上阻碍了该部门和替代解决方案在很大程度上是未知的。我们利用现有文献识别出几个障碍,然后使用改进的德尔菲法,对25个障碍进行细化,并将其分为五个显著维度。随后,分析层次过程使用两两比较矩阵确定障碍的等级。基于理想解相似度的排序偏好灰色技术对这些障碍的备选解进行排序。结果表明,“金融壁垒”是各维度中最重要的壁垒,而“有限政府补贴”在各子壁垒中影响最大。“获得充足资金”是克服这些障碍的最佳选择。最后,进行敏感性分析以验证研究结果。研究结果可能有助于从业者和政策制定者促进目前印度风能部门的缓慢增长。

ABSTRACT Policy makers offer fiscal incentives to encourage companies to invest in renewable technologies. This work considers generation companies that take advantage of fiscal incentives to minimize income tax. Thus, a novel mixed-integer linear optimization model that minimizes total tax payments of a company owning a portfolio of energy projects is designed. The model strategically manages depreciation, tax loss carryforward, and tax incentive use for minimizing discounted income tax. A set of revenue scenarios was employed to analyze model results. The proposed model yields tax savings between 8.2% and 19.2% of the company’s taxes. Tax savings are significantly larger for companies with a large generation portfolio; which represents a clear advantage over small generation companies. The proposed model can also be employed by policy makers to adjust future ITA policies by taking advantage of the anticipative knowledge of the optimal tax strategies implemented by generation companies.
政策制定者提供财政激励,鼓励企业投资可再生能源技术。这项工作考虑了利用财政激励最小化所得税的发电公司。因此,设计了一个新的混合整数线性优化模型,该模型使拥有能源项目投资组合的公司的总纳税额最小。该模型战略性地管理折旧、税收损失结转和税收激励的使用,以最大限度地减少所得税的贴现。采用一组收益情景对模型结果进行分析。该模型可为公司节省8.2%至19.2%的税收。对于拥有大量发电组合的公司来说,节省的税收要大得多;这与小型发电公司相比具有明显的优势。所提出的模型也可以被政策制定者利用发电公司实施的最优税收策略的预期知识来调整未来的ITA政策。

ABSTRACT Financial agglomeration (FA) may play an essential role in enhancing energy efficiency (EE) and, thus, is important from both theoretical and empirical viewpoints. However, few studies have investigated the causal nonlinear relationship between FA and EE. Hence, we first extend the novel ray slacks-based measure with global technology to evaluate the urban EE in China during 2003–2018. Next, we reexamine the nonlinear causality of FA on EE and then explore the underlying impact mechanism. The empirical results show that China’s urban EE is generally relatively low with distinct patterns of regional differences. Moreover, we find that the causal relationship between FA and EE follows an inverted U-shaped function rather than a linear one. FA promotes the improvement of EE only up to a certain threshold point, after which it reverses into an inhibitory effect. A further analysis based on the two-regime spatial Durbin panel model suggests that FA can indeed improve the EE of surrounding cities through positive externalities when the degree of FA in focal cities is not substantially greater than that in surrounding cities. However, when financial resources absorbed in certain focal cities become increasingly higher than that in most surrounding cities, the positive spillover effect would gradually disappear and even reverse into an undesirable siphon, thereby inhibiting the improvement of overall EE. These findings provide new insights for understanding the role of FA in sustainable development.
金融集聚(FA)可能在提高能源效率(EE)中发挥重要作用,因此从理论和实证的角度来看都很重要。然而,很少有研究探讨FA与EE之间的因果非线性关系。因此,我们首先利用全球技术扩展了基于射线松弛的新型测量方法,以评估2003-2018年中国城市电子商务。接下来,我们将重新审视FA对情感表达的非线性因果关系,并探讨其潜在的影响机制。实证结果表明,中国城市EE总体较低,区域差异格局明显。此外,我们发现FA和EE之间的因果关系遵循倒u型函数,而不是线性函数。FA仅在达到一定阈值后才能促进EE的改善,在此阈值之后,它就会逆转为抑制作用。基于双制度空间Durbin面板模型的进一步分析表明,当中心城市的城市发展程度并不明显大于周边城市时,城市发展确实可以通过正外部性提高周边城市的情感表达。然而,当某些重点城市的财政资源吸收越来越多地高于周边大多数城市时,积极的溢出效应就会逐渐消失,甚至逆转为一种不良的虹吸,从而抑制整体经济效益的提高。这些发现为理解FA在可持续发展中的作用提供了新的见解。

ABSTRACT Stock market efficiency has been one of the most investigated topics of the last century. Knowing the efficiency of a market has major implications for both investors and policymakers, as a perfectly efficient market eliminates any arbitrage opportunity and the possibility of actually beating the market. For this reason, this study aims to examine the weak-form market efficiency of the European energy markets using linear and nonlinear unit root tests for the period covering February 2012 to April 2021. The results indicated that while the Augmented Dickey–Fuller test captured the stationarity in only Austria’s Oil, and Gas index, using nonlinear tests showed stationarity in 17 of the 20 indices tested. Overall, the European Energy Market can be considered inefficient under the weak form of the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Therefore, there is an indication of profitable arbitrage opportunities among energy stocks. Signs of stationarity also suggest that shocks to energy stocks will have temporary effects. Energy markets of Austria, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, for this reason, could benefit from policy changes to support increased information flow to achieve more transparency and utilize better trading technologies.
股票市场效率一直是上个世纪研究最多的话题之一。了解市场的效率对投资者和决策者都有重大意义,因为一个完全有效的市场消除了任何套利机会和实际击败市场的可能性。因此,本研究旨在利用线性和非线性单位根检验2012年2月至2021年4月期间欧洲能源市场的弱形式市场效率。结果表明,增强型Dickey-Fuller测试只捕获了奥地利油气指数的平稳性,而非线性测试显示,20个测试指数中有17个都具有平稳性。总的来说,在有效市场假说的弱形式下,欧洲能源市场可以被认为是低效的。因此,有迹象表明能源股存在盈利套利机会。稳定的迹象还表明,对能源股的冲击将产生暂时影响。因此,奥地利、芬兰、法国、希腊、意大利、荷兰、俄罗斯、西班牙、瑞典和英国的能源市场可以从政策变化中受益,以支持增加信息流,实现更高的透明度,并利用更好的交易技术。

ABSTRACT With the growing need for cleaner energy sources, research into the energy harvesting industry has increased over the last years. Roadways and transport infrastructure are promising contexts for energy harvesting due to their global coverage, being continuously exposed to everyday traffic-induced pressures. This study presents a model for Technical and Economic Analysis, as well as a Cost-Benefit Analysis model for Road Pavement Energy Harvesting systems. These models are then applied in a grid injection scenario, testing their applicability on a system developed by a startup company. Results show that the tested technology is economically viable for scenarios under subsidized regimes, but not yet for grid injection applications, suggesting the need for financial incentives in the field. However, it is argued that these systems hold major social and environmental value, enabling different types of business models that might increase stakeholders’ motivation to invest.
随着对清洁能源的需求日益增长,对能量收集行业的研究在过去几年中有所增加。由于道路和交通基础设施覆盖全球,持续承受着日常交通压力,因此它们是能源收集的有希望的环境。本研究提出了路面能量收集系统的技术和经济分析模型,以及成本效益分析模型。然后将这些模型应用于网格注入场景,测试它们在初创公司开发的系统上的适用性。结果表明,在补贴制度下,测试的技术在经济上是可行的,但在电网注入应用中还不可行,这表明需要在该领域采取财政激励措施。然而,有人认为这些系统具有重要的社会和环境价值,可以实现不同类型的商业模式,从而增加利益相关者的投资动机。

ABSTRACT Based on the Data Envelopment Analysis, this paper examines the economic effects of energy subsidies on carbon emission efficiency in the Chinese regions from 2003 to 2018. The special roles are given to fiscal decentralization and foreign direct investment competition of local governments. It is observed that an increase in energy subsidies per capita negatively affects carbon emission efficiency. The green-growth-oriented local energy subsidies, targeted at clean energy and low-carbon industries, positively affect carbon emission efficiency. Therefore, local economies can balance economic growth and carbon emission reduction requirements. Given these results, policymakers should change the original performance evaluation mechanism with economic growth as the goal and promote local governments to implement green growth and low-carbon economic development policies.
基于数据包络分析,研究了2003 - 2018年中国地区能源补贴对碳排放效率的经济影响。财政分权和地方政府对外直接投资竞争具有特殊的作用。人均能源补贴的增加会对碳排放效率产生负面影响。以绿色增长为导向的地方能源补贴,针对清洁能源和低碳产业,对碳排放效率有正向影响。因此,地方经济可以平衡经济增长和碳减排要求。有鉴于此,决策者应改变原有以经济增长为目标的绩效评价机制,推动地方政府实施绿色增长和低碳经济发展政策。

ABSTRACT To reach climate neutrality by mid-century, the EU needs to decarbonize its transport sector. Transition options include electrification, biofuels, hydrogen, and e-fuels (synthetic fuels). Owing to their uncertain and disruptive role, we assess the potential contribution of e-fuels deployment to the EU transport decarbonization in line with the region’s climate neutrality ambition in 2050. To do so, we enhance the representation of competing fuels in the PRIMES-TREMOVE transport model. We quantify two contrasting transport scenarios: one with notable contribution from e-fuels, and a second scenario without e-fuels but with maximum use of the alternative options. Findings are arrayed in a Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats analysis. Electrification of private transport mobility in urban and sub-urban areas emerges as a key option in both pathways. However, the two scenarios differ in the other technology and fuel choices, with implications on road freight transport, infrastructure, R&D spending, and maturity requirements for alternative vehicles.
为了在本世纪中叶达到气候中和,欧盟需要使其运输部门脱碳。转型选择包括电气化、生物燃料、氢和电子燃料(合成燃料)。鉴于其不确定性和破坏性作用,我们根据该地区2050年的气候中和目标,评估了电子燃料部署对欧盟运输脱碳的潜在贡献。为此,我们增强了PRIMES-TREMOVE运输模型中竞争燃料的表示。我们量化了两种截然不同的交通情景:一种是电子燃料的显著贡献,另一种是没有电子燃料但最大限度地利用替代方案的情景。结果以优势-劣势-机会-威胁分析的形式排列。城市和郊区私人交通的电气化成为这两条道路的关键选择。然而,这两种情况在其他技术和燃料选择上有所不同,这对公路货运、基础设施、研发支出和替代车辆的成熟度要求都有影响。

ABSTRACT In enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), the efficiency of the energy recovery process is highly dependent on the produced fluid’s temperature. In this work, a new analytical scheme is proposed for predicting the spatiotemporal evolution of temperature profile based on the three-dimensional energy conservation equation solved on the vertical plane passing through the wells. The solution is given in an error-function form which suits well for feasibility studies. An economic study is then conducted on the cost of operation based on the analytically described temperature and pressure distribution. The cumulative gain of operation, including the cost of pumping and reduced gain due to thermal breakthrough, is optimized with respect to the well spacing and the water injection rate. Optimum well spacing – injection rate combinations have been obtained for varied project life times. The maximum cumulative gain calculated by this method can be used for capex analyses and project lifetime predictions.
在增强型地热系统(EGS)中,能量回收过程的效率高度依赖于产出流体的温度。本文提出了一种基于井间垂直平面三维能量守恒方程的温度剖面时空演化预测方法。解以误差函数形式给出,适合于可行性研究。然后,根据分析描述的温度和压力分布,对运行成本进行经济研究。作业的累积收益,包括泵送成本和因热突破而降低的收益,根据井距和注水速度进行了优化。针对不同的项目寿命周期,获得了最佳井距-注入速度组合。通过这种方法计算的最大累积收益可用于资本支出分析和项目寿命预测。

The maximum cumulative gain calculated by this method can be used for capex analyses and project lifetime predictions.","PeriodicalId":51247,"journal":{"name":"Energy Sources Part B-Economics Planning and Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73021513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT This study investigates how inclusive growth is affected by carbon emission, renewable energy, and the new financial development index using 48 African countries categorized into low-income countries (LIC) and middle-income countries (MIC) spanning from 2000 to 2018. Bearing in mind the presence of residual cross-sectional reliance and heterogeneity in a panel data settings, the study employed robust estimations econometric approaches which includes the Augmented Mean group (AMG), Driscoll-Kraay (DK) standard errors method together with the Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG) technique. The study’s outcomes from the mentioned approaches showed that; carbon emission positively affects inclusive growth in aggregate African panel, and LIC but not in MIC panels correspondingly. Furthermore, renewable energy significantly mitigates inclusive growth in LIC group African nations, but not significant in Africa as a whole or in MIC country grouping. Financial development is homogeneously positive and significant, with inclusive growth across all panels of African economies. The outlined outcomes were also confirmed by the Generalized Method of Moments (System-GMM). Based on the outlined study preferably suggest that carbon emission in LIC must be focused on attracting investments with low carbon footprints. On renewable energy, it is further recommended that both LIC and MIC should sticks to the African Renewable Energy Initiative.
本研究以2000年至2018年48个被划分为低收入国家(LIC)和中等收入国家(MIC)的非洲国家为研究对象,探讨了包容性增长如何受到碳排放、可再生能源和新金融发展指数的影响。考虑到面板数据设置中存在剩余横截面依赖和异质性,该研究采用了稳健估计计量经济学方法,包括增强平均组(AMG), Driscoll-Kraay (DK)标准误差方法以及相关效应平均组(CCEMG)技术。上述方法的研究结果表明;碳排放对总体非洲面板的包容性增长有积极影响,对低收入国家面板的包容性增长有积极影响,而对中等收入国家面板的包容性增长没有积极影响。此外,可再生能源显著减缓了低收入国家集团非洲国家的包容性增长,但在整个非洲或中等收入国家集团中并不显著。金融发展同样是积极而重要的,非洲各经济体都实现了包容性增长。这些结果也被广义矩量法(System-GMM)所证实。根据概述的研究,最好建议低碳国家的碳排放必须侧重于吸引低碳足迹的投资。在可再生能源方面,进一步建议LIC和MIC都应坚持非洲可再生能源倡议。

ABSTRACT The current study predicts West Texas Intermediate (WTI) petroleum prices using an artificial neural network (ANN) with a whale optimization algorithm (WOA). In implementing the model, five parameters, including gold price, coal price, natural gas price, Dollar-Euro exchange rate, and Dollar-Yuan exchange rate, have been used as input to the combined model. The intelligent and basic ANN algorithm results compared to finding the ANN-WOA algorithm capacity in predicting the future price of WTI oil. ANN-WOA model improved the WTI price predicting accuracy up to 22% compared to the ANN. The ANN-WOA method with a value of R2 = 0.93 compared to the ANN method with a value of R2 = 0.75 was able to reduce the model error well. According to the significant impact that the input parameters of the combination model had on the WTI oil price prediction, therefore, in studies that predict price or other variables, highly correlated variables can significantly increase the accuracy of the forecast.
摘要:本研究利用带有鲸鱼优化算法(WOA)的人工神经网络(ANN)预测西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)价格。在模型的实现中,我们将黄金价格、煤炭价格、天然气价格、美元对欧元汇率、美元对人民币汇率这五个参数作为组合模型的输入。通过对人工神经网络算法和基础人工神经网络算法的比较,发现了人工神经网络- woa算法预测WTI原油未来价格的能力。与人工神经网络相比,ANN- woa模型将WTI价格预测准确率提高了22%。与R2 = 0.75的ANN方法相比,ANN- woa方法的R2 = 0.93能较好地减小模型误差。根据组合模型的输入参数对WTI原油价格预测的显著影响,因此,在预测价格或其他变量的研究中,高度相关的变量可以显著提高预测的准确性。
