Abstract:
... In the presence of geographically dispersed distributed energy resources (DERs), the microgrid (MG) can be organized into a number of nanogrids (NGs) which provides an efficient approach to aggregating DERs for the participation of ancillary service with a high level of efficiency and controllability. In this regard, this paper presents a multi-market NG trading paradigm for simultaneous real-time ...

Abstract:
... Auctions have become the main instrument of choice to support renewable electricity around the world. This is probably due to their alleged virtues in terms of efficiency. However, whether auctions will meet their expectations and be successful will depend on the choice of design elements in particular settings. Although the analysis of the advantages and drawbacks of different design elements has ...

Abstract:
... As more animal welfare is required in livestock farming, several approaches have been developed to improve the well-being of farmed animals on a voluntary basis. Since farmers’ acceptance is important for the success of these approaches, their preferences should be considered when developing farm animal welfare programs. We used choice based conjoint analysis to investigate the preferences of 242 ...

Abstract:
... Relatively modest difference in individual decisional skills may warrant substantial inequality in personal remunerations. This implies that the return on investment in decisional skills may be very high. These claims are illustrated applying the uncertain dichotomous choice setting while clarifying the complex relationship between the individual skills, the individual optimal decisional weights a ...
