On Net Energy Metering X: Optimal Prosumer Decisions, Social Welfare, and Cross-Subsidies

We introduce NEM X, an inclusive retail tariff model that captures features of existing net energy metering (NEM) policies. It is shown that the optimal prosumer decision under NEM X obeys by a two-threshold policy. The threshold policy yields three household consumption modes: (a) the net-consuming mode where the prosumer consumes more than its behind-the-meter distributed energy resource (DER) production when the DER production is below a predetermined lower threshold, (b) the net-producing mode where the prosumer consumes less than its DER production when the DER production is above a predetermined upper threshold, and (c) the net-zero energy mode where the prosumer’s consumption matches its DER generation when its DER production is between the lower and upper thresholds. Both the thresholds are obtained in closed-form and computed apriori. Next, we analyze the regulator’s rate-setting process that determines NEM X parameters such as retail/sell rates, fixed charges, and price differentials in time-of-use tariffs’ on and off-peak periods. A stochastic Ramsey pricing program that maximizes social welfare subject to the revenue break-even constraint for the regulated utility is formulated. Performance of several NEM X policies is evaluated using real and synthetic data to illuminate impacts of NEM policy designs on social welfare, cross-subsidies of prosumers by consumers, and payback time of DER investments that affect long-run DER adoptions.

An innovative technique for optimization and sensitivity analysis of a PV/DG/BESS based on converged Henry gas solubility optimizer: A case study

AbstractThe construction of hybrid power plants with renewable resources can bring significant economic benefits if it is evaluated economically and technically. The present study uses a novel optimum methodology for designing a combined solar/battery/diesel system in Yarkant, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. In the desired system, the green energy combined system is designed to reduce the use of diesel generators. The diesel generator has been used in the photovoltaic, diesel, and battery to support green energy resources and batteries, as well as function as a backup generator for critical times whenever the production of green energy resources is low or the load demand is high. The amount of CO2 emitted, the probability of load shortage and the system cost on yearly basis are the major goals in the process of optimization. Here, the single‐objective problem is created by using the ε‐constraint technique to combine the many objectives. An improved Henry gas solubility optimizer handles the problem of optimization. To demonstrate the superiority of the strategy, a comparison is conducted between the simulation outcomes of the offered system, HOMER, and particle swarm optimizer ‐based optimum systems from the literature. The sensitivity of each parameter is also examined using sensitivity analysis.

Influence of climate data quality on predictive accuracy of production and consumption of energy resources by a city

The article provides a list of hazardous climatic phenomena and examples of some of their effects on the constituent structural elements of the power plant. In the framework of this article, the impact of the duration of hot weather on the operation of nuclear power plants is considered. An analysis was made and the stations most susceptible to global climate change in terms of increasing summer temperatures were identified. For the two most representative stations, modeling based on artificial neural networks was performed and conclusions were drawn about an increase in the number and duration of hot days per year. The best forecast result for St. Petersburg NPP is 54.59%, for Kursk NPP - 22.18%. The structure and method of formation of the predictive function are analyzed. Methods are proposed to improve the accuracy of the forecast by varying the discretization value of the initial data, as well as by changing the activation function of the artificial neural network.

Determining the size of batteries and solar sources in a zero cost building using PSO algorithm

The production and consumption of non-renewable energy resources have disrupted the environment's biodiversity cycle. Global climate change, including worldwide warming, has made human life both now and in the future. The construction industry in the world has a significant share in the demand for energy consumption in these challenges. Therefore, the primary purpose of this paper is to implement standards to save and prevent energy loss to control and limit the demand for energy requested from the power network. Constructing a building with self-sufficient energy production that meets its energy needs by producing clean energy becomes more important. It also sells the excess energy to the grid, known as zero energy buildings. In the present paper, the issue is a constrained optimization problem that aims to minimize the total annual cost, including the initial investment cost for PV and batteries and their maintenance costs, as well as the cost of network exchanges. Among the limitations, the proposed model can mention the restrictions governing the battery, such as the limitations of the battery state of charge (SoC). The problem under optimization is a mixed integers nonlinear programming (MINLP) that will be solved by a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm considering the total cost minimization.

Функціональна спрямованість інтегрованого інструментарію економічного механізму підвищення енергоефективності національної економіки

The article analyzes the essence and directions of improving the energy efficiency of the national economy. It is noted that the leading role in this process is assigned to the economic mechanism, which should generally be recognized as an integrated system of means of influencing economic phenomena observed in the process of production, exchange, distribution and consumption of energy resources. It is emphasized that the most important indicator characterizing the efficiency of energy consumption at the macro-level is the energy intensity of gross domestic product (GDP), according to which Ukraine significantly lags behind many countries of the world. Therefore, one of the effective instruments to reduce the energy intensity of the State’s GDP is the use of tax incentives. The functional role of structural elements of the economic mechanism of energy efficiency is disclosed, which are manifested in the following: firstly, the leading place in the system of instruments for implementing energy-efficient policy is occupied by pricing for energy resources, which, unfortunately, is dominated by the cost methodology. Simultaneously, it is necessary to deprive enterprises of the domestic fuel and energy complex of the right to manipulate prices for their products; secondly, in order to implement the energy efficiency policy, it is necessary to form tariffs for energy resources based on the reimbursement of economically justified costs for their production, transportation and delivery to consumers; thirdly, the implementation of strategic goals for the development of energy saving requires significant investments, in particular, targeted loans to finance energy-saving technologies. The necessity of finding and developing new, more effective instruments of the economic mechanism for improving the energy efficiency of the national economy is proved.

ОСНОВНІ АСПЕКТИ ПЕРЕХІДНОГО ПЕРІОДУ МІЖ ПРОМИСЛОВИМИ РЕВОЛЮЦІЯМИ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ ЕЛЕКТРОЕНЕРГЕТИКИ)

The variability of the energy sector was studied in the periods between industrial revolutions, i.e. the restructuring of the system of production, consumption, transportation and supply of energy resources under the influence of a changing external environment. Specific trends were described in mineral extraction after 1900 and shown that the global increase in coal mining and hydrocarbon production from 1900 to 2019 increased the annual production of fossil carbon approximately 20 times, from 500 Mt in 1900 to 6 .7 Gt a century later and to 10.2 Gt in 2019. Because of the asymmetric distribution of minerals, this production led to global oil trade, but the analysis showed that there were significant limits and exceptions where global growth resulted in absorption and reduction of national production or a complete cessation of fuel production. Technical improvements were the most important factors in this cheap and productive extraction, transportation, and processing, as well as increased environmental friendliness. We have shown in the study that there has been a noticeable shift in the direction of higher-quality fuel, that is, from coal to oil and natural gas. The result of this process was the relative decarbonization of global fossil fuel production, while the absolute level of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere increased. In the article, we proposed promising directions and areas that require increased investment due to the needs of increasing the competitiveness of the economy, achieving overall sustainable development and the growth of energy innovations as a favorable factor that ensures the formation of Industry 4.0. We have determined that the development of leading technologies is a promising direction for ensuring the growing consumption of industry in the conditions of Industry 4.0. Technological changes are so powerful that they make our age both the most promising and at the same time full of threats in the history of mankind. The scientific provisions, conclusions and proposals formulated and substantiated by the authors can be applied for further scientific developments and at the legislative level to solve the problem of improving the energy sector in the conditions of the formation of Industry 4.0.

Топливно-энергетический комплекс Дальнего Востока: трансформация институциональной среды

The fuel and energy complex (FEC) is a complex inter-industry complex of the Far East, whose activities continue to focus on increasing the volume of production and export of energy resources. The introduction of sanctions against the oil and gas complex led to a violation of the logistics of export deliveries. The process of diversification of energy supplies to the rapidly developing market of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and the domestic market that has begun requires the implementation of infrastructure projects of the fuel and energy complex for the construction of pipeline transport facilities. Termination of supplies of the European technologies and equipment, existing contracts for the maintenance of supplied equipment, as well as a ban on investments, exacerbated the problem of technical equipment and modernization of organizations of the complex. The state of the fuel and energy complex of the Far East is characterized by a low level of development and competitiveness of its processing sector. Under the current conditions, the formation of a modern institutional environment is becoming an important condition for improving the efficiency of the fuel and energy complex and ensuring effective domestic demand for the energy resources of the Far East. Many problems of the development of the fuel and energy complex can be solved only through a competent combination of market mechanisms for self-development and effective mechanisms of state regulation. The purpose of this study is to study the transformation of the institutional environment of the fuel and energy complex and analyze the influence of institutions on the development of the complex in the Far-Eastern federal district (FEFD). The article gives description of the political, legal and economic institutions of regulation and development institutions that form the institutional environment for the functioning of the fuel and energy complex. The main forms and methods of state support for organizations of the fuel and energy complex are systematized. The main functions of the fuel and energy complex are considered. The study was performed using the methods of systemic and comparative analysis.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ВИДОБУТКУ ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНИХ РЕСУРСІВ В АСТРОБЛЕМАХ УКРАЇНИ

Analysis of the results of complex studies of the structure and prospects of oil and gas bearing impact structures (astroblems) of Ukraine are based on the introduction of the latest technologies and equipment complexes. The purpose of the research is to assess the prospects for the production of energy resources in the astroblems of Ukraine (hydrocarbons, oil shale, brown coal, hydrogen, helium) according to the STHAGC. The paper is based on the factual material made up of the results of many years of field surveys performed according to the integrated practice of structural, thermal, hydrological, atmogeochemical surveys (STHAGC) of the impact structures. This technique has proved successful as a practical tool for prospecting of mineral reserves (hydrocarbons, underground waters) and solution of ecological problems in various regions of Ukraine (the land and water areas of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov). Impact structures (astroblems) should be regarded as non-traditional sources of the energy feedstock, namely, oil and gas. Prospecting and operation of these sources will permit to significantly enlarge the energy potential within the shortest time and strengthen the national security of the country. The main targets of the surveys performed by the monograph authors were the following impact structures in Ukraine: Bovtyska and Obolonska. The Bovtyskа structure is proposed as a primary object for purposeful geological exploration.

USE OF ENERGY-SAVING TECHNOLOGIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

The article examines the requirements for the creation of an autonomous university, considers alternative measures to solve energy saving problems, shows the effectiveness and necessity of conducting an energy audit of the institution, indicates the actions performed by Khmelnytskyi National University in the framework of energy saving. The methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of measures is similar to the calculation of current energy consumption and energy consumption for the previous representative period. The difference is that when evaluating energy-saving measures, it is necessary to predict how the situation will change after their implementation. This entails a change in many coefficients, such as the rate of energy consumption, the power utilization coefficient, the duration of equipment operation during the year. To save energy, Khmelnytskyi National University built its own boiler house with a capacity of 3,900 kW, which made it possible to disconnect several buildings from the city-wide heat supply network. Solar power plants were put into operation, solar panels were placed on the roofs of the buildings of the educational institution, educational and production bases, sports complex The implementation of the latest technologies for the production and consumption of energy resources, as well as technologies involving the use of alternative energy sources, is possible on the basis of a previously conducted comprehensive energy audit. The feasibility of building an autonomous heating system, which made it possible to disconnect the main buildings from the city-wide heat supply network, has been proven. Taking measures to insulate walls, replace the water supply system, and use heating points increases the energy efficiency of resource use. In addition, the introduction of alternative energy systems, the creation of own solar power plants and modern control systems for them allows you to optimize lighting costs per hectare, reduce costs for electricity needs, and even make money from sales using the “green tariff”. In this way, any higher educational institution can organize and conduct its own measures to increase the energy-efficient consumption of energy resources, conduct information campaigns, involving students and teachers. This will not only improve the energy situation at the university, but will also help save energy at home.

Public awareness of hydrogen energy: A comprehensive evaluation based on statistical approach

Climate change and environmental problems, increasing global energy demand, and uncertainties in energy supply have brought the production and use of sustainable energy resources to be crucial. Hydrogen, which is an important energy carrier, is being produced and used globally within the perspective of sustainable energy and environmental technologies. Public awareness is an important step toward the spread of hydrogen energy (HE). In the literature, while public awareness studies focus on renewable energy sources, no study that examines public awareness in the field of HE in a way that addresses different perspectives has come across. This pioneering study aims to explore public awareness of HE by analyzing survey data collected from individuals via basic statistical techniques. Findings indicate that individuals' awareness of hydrogen energy mainly varies according to their knowledge level, education level, and age group. The results of the study will provide an important perspective for all stakeholders on hydrogen energy. Especially the policymakers should consider these results to constitute the frameworks of policy without compromising any perspective of public awareness.

Methodological Approaches to the Analysis of the Economic Efficiency of Energy Supply Options, Taking Into Account Environmental and Random Factors

The study presents the initial methodological provisions for the analysis of the economic efficiency of energy supply options for consumers in the central ecological zone of the natural territory of Lake Baikal. We used the indicator of reduced costs as the main means of comparing options. We proposed special methods that take into account negative and positive environmental consequences, as well as the influence of random factors in the production and consumption of energy resources. The problem of minimizing negative and maximizing positive environmental consequences is solved by searching for Pareto optimal solutions to a multicriteria problem. The action of random factors is taken into account with the help of repeated simulation of the functioning of the studied energy supply technology in random implementations based on the Monte Carlo method.

THE USE OF METHANOGENIC PLANTS BASED ON SOLID COMMUNAL WASTE IN LOW-RISE CONSTRUCTION

The authors consider the main aspects of local utilization of waste of low-rise buildings by methane fermentation with the subsequent production of secondary energy resources. Currently, the generation of methane in artificial conditions is an intensively developing industry. Previously, the authors studied the experience of the regions of Russia in the disposal of solid domestic waste. It is revealed that the processing of solid municipal waste in bioreactors can be carried out with the joint fermentation of various wastes. This is also possible by adding existing accelerators for the methane fermentation reaction. The quantitative characteristics of waste generated on the territory of individual residential low-rise buildings have been studied. From the total volume to be disposed of, waste potentially suitable for the formation of the initial substrate was isolated. The main properties of raw materials for the necessary generation of bio methane have been determined. The specific methane yield during its constant generation has been calculated for various combinations of municipal waste of low-rise buildings. The paper presents a general concept of local processing of municipal solid waste and describes the scheme of the methane generating plant. The dimensions and technical characteristics of the installation for obtaining bio methane from waste at the place of their formation in residential buildings have been determined. In addition, the calculation of thermal energy produced on the base on generated methane was carried out. And it was found that the introduction of methane-generating plants in the technical systems of low-rise buildings allows to increase their energy efficiency, reduce the load on existing landfills of solid domestic waste and achieve maximum utilization of waste from residential areas.

Study of refractory raw materials of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Important aspects of increasing the competitiveness of domestic metallurgy and mechanical engineering are increasing the durability of thermal units and involving non-traditional, cheaper energy resources in production. One of these resources is carbon waste from the aluminum industry - electrode scrap and waste from the carbon lining of electrolyzers. The problem of their use as substitutes for solid fuels (coke coal) in the metallurgical, engineering and energy industries is fluorine- and alkali-containing salts that impregnate them, destroying the traditional lining of thermal units. The development of effective refractories resistant to fluorine- and alkali-containing corrodants (melts and gases) makes it possible to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of thermal units both through the use of cheaper energy carriers and by increasing the duration of their campaign. An important aspect is the simultaneous disposal of hazardous industrial waste and the reduction of the environmental burden on the ecosphere of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The basis for the development of new refractory materials resistant to fluorine- and alkali-containing corrodants is the analysis of the existing raw material base of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the choice of materials that make it possible to obtain aluminosilicate refractories with increased chemical resistance. In the work, the phase and chemical composition of refractory clays and kaolins of the Republic of Kazakhstan were studied, their rheological and thermophysical properties were investigated. Selected raw materials for the development of technology for the production of dense aluminosilicate refractory products.

Multi-criteria decision analysis for evaluation of potential renewable energy resources in Malaysia

Switching to renewable energy resources as an alternative is critical for developing countries in order to ensure energy security and diversify their energy supply. Malaysia is endowed with biomass, solar, waste-to-energy, wind, and hydro energy potentials, although these have not been fully explored. This is because the country continues to rely extensively on conventional fossil-fuel energy sources such as coal and petroleum to generate power and consume energy. On the other hand, demand for energy is increasing as a result of population growth and a booming economy. Thus, this study intends to identify suitable potential renewable energy resources that can benefit Malaysia by analysing the outcomes of Focus Group Discussions (FGD) using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as an analytical technique. Five renewable energy resources were evaluated: biomass, solar, waste to energy, wind, and hydro energy while five criteria were identified: carbon production, operational costs, location characteristics, energy, and availability of renewable energy resources. The outcome suggested a strategic focus on solar energy for Malaysia due to consideration in carbon production. This information will assist decision-makers in strategizing the most suitable renewable energy resources for Malaysia.

СУЧАСНА ПАРАДИГМА МЕХАНІЗМІВ СТРАТЕГІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ РОЗВИТКОМ ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНИХ КОМПАНІЙ

The article defines the essence of strategic management of the energy company development and reveals its features in the energy sector. It is noted that the mechanisms of strategic management of the development of energy companies, in contrast to the mechanisms of tactical and operational management, include not only interacting elements in the form of management methods, methods and functions, but also strategies, procedures for their adjustment in the process of changes in the organization, defined and set goals , which meet modern challenges and allow to gain competitive advantages. The strategic management mechanisms of the energy companies development include infrastructural support; information provision and security; organizational support; regulatory and legal support; pricing; financial support; strategic development planning; energy saving motivation, etc. Infrastructural support in the energy sector is formed by transport operators and energy distribution systems. Information support is an effective mechanism of the strategic management system of energy companies development, the strengthening of which will allow to substantiate energy-efficient management decisions, contributes to their transparency, efficiency, consistency and timeliness. Organizational support of the energy sector of Ukraine is carried out by authorities that perform the following strategic management functions: development and implementation of strategic development policy and strategic concepts; development management of state-owned energy companies; regulation of the development of energy companies and the energy sector in general; coordination of activities in matters of energy security; organization of efficient production and use of energy resources in communities and regions. The scheme of regulatory and legal support for the development of energy companies of Ukraine in the context of strategic management is given. When considering pricing, the possibility of introducing a tariff based on the regulatory base of assets, or RAB-tariff, is being considered. Investigating financial support in the strategic management system, it is noted that the energy company must have a stable financial position, because the indicator of financial stability is a guarantor of reliability and invested funds return for investors. When considering the optimal financial support of energy companies, attention is drawn to the expediency of organizing a strategic planning system. Among the organizational and economic mechanisms of strategic management of the development of energy companies, the motivation of energy saving is singled out in order to stimulate and support the behavioral activity of employees in the direction of energy saving.
