Measuring and Control of Ion Flux-Energy Distribution Functions
Ion-surface interaction plays a key role in several technological plasma applications such as physical and chemical sputtering, thin film deposition, surface modification, or ion implantation. For a systematic investigation of ion-induced changes in surface properties, a controllable, monoenergetic ion flux to the surface is required. To allow for surface treatments of conducting and ...

Benchmarking as a strategic policy tool for energy management
In this paper, we analyse to what extent benchmarking is a valuable tool in strategic energy policy analysis. First, the theory on benchmarking is concisely presented, e.g., by discussing the benchmark wheel and the benchmark path. Next, some results of surveys among business firms are presented. To offer a more detailed analysis of the scope and potential of benchmarking, results are presented ...

Monte Carlo characterisation of irradiation positions of the CENM TRIGA MARK II research reactor using MCNP5
The knowledge of neutron flux distribution in different parts of the research reactor is very important both for the design of experiments and for the reactor safety. Knowing the neutron flux profiles, reactor operators can optimise the irradiation conditions and select the positions most adaptable to the desired applications. Transport calculations can often give useful information about the ...

An optimal energy allocation model using fuzzy linear programming for energy planning in India for the year 2020
Development of an energy allocation model will help in the proper allocation of the energy sources in meeting the future energy demand in India. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a fuzzy-based linear programming optimal energy model that minimises the cost and determines the optimum allocation of different energy sources for the centralised and decentralised power generation in ...

Privatisation of the Brazilian electricity industry: opportunities and pitfalls
In the early 1990s, Brazil started a debate about the role of the state in the economy in general, and the energy sector in particular. A major privatisation process of state assets began in which energy, and in particular the electricity utilities, were earmarked for special attention, given their monopolistic structure and perceived low productivity and inefficiency. Thus, the privatisation of ...

Integrated framework for energy loss allocation in electric distribution systems under liberalised energy markets
This paper discusses an integrated framework for cost allocation of energy losses of electric distribution systems under liberalised energy markets. As key contribution is developed an allocation strategy based upon Locational and Uniform Incremental Prices. The locational incremental prices send efficient economical signals to distributed generators with incentives for loss minimisation and ...

Development of Economic Indices for Renewable Energies and Distributed Generation in the Asia-Pacific Region
Renewable energies are gaining their market share, reflecting on improved economic feasibility; however, most renewable energies, except for wind, hydro, and biomass, are still costly energy options compared to conventional energy sources. In this activity, developments of economic indices will be explored, and can be used as criteria in prioritizing development and deployment of renewable ...

Wind energy generators sitting and sizing based on uncertain generation pricing
This paper proposes a methodology for sitting and sizing wind distributed generators (WDGs). These generators are characterised by an uncertain active power production due to the random behaviour of the wind speed. The uncertain generation directly impacts the network total generation cost and also the solution for the placement and sizing problem. So, this work takes into account this uncertain ...

Flexible energy systems: integration of electricity production from CHP and fluctuating renewable energy
Renewable energy sources and distributed generation play a crucial role in supporting the European Union's key policy objectives of combating the greenhouse effect. In order to bring about a substantial long-term penetration of distributed energy resources in Europe, one of the most important future challenges seems to be the management of the integration of fluctuations in electricity production ...

On the probabilistic distribution of wind speeds: theoretical development and comparison with data
The probabilistic distributions of wind speed are a critical piece of information needed in the assessment of wind-energy potential, and have been conventionally described by various empirical correlations. Among the empirical correlations, the Weibull distribution has been most popular due to its ability to fit most accurately the variety of wind-speed data measured at different geographical ...

A consolidated economic model based on a new concept of biased equilibrium
The fundamental theorems of welfare economics are not designed to represent the real world. Instead, they tell us about certain conditions under which general equilibrium will be efficient. This paper introduces a new concept 'biased equilibrium' based on information economics and consolidates neoclassical economics and institutional economics together. In the real world economy, the probability ...
