“…Although the MUFSP model is used according to (Basu et al, 2021), SPV plants and GES systems differ in nature in several respects, including in materials, practical use and functionality. However, the base location-dependent cost function is quite similar, with transmission land and supply chain costs being directly dependent on the functions (Amjad and Shah, 2020).…”

“…The land cost of the MUFSP model is guided by the principle of Hedonic pricing, which is an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression model for determining property/land prices. Several studies have established the hedonic method to estimate the land costs in urban and suburban areas, as a function of distance from the CBD of a city along with other socio-economic predictors of land costs (Basu et al, 2021;Kain and Quigley, 1970;Ottensmann et al, 2008;Mondal et al, 2018). A land value calculation method for metropolitan suburbs is based on distances from CBD is presented in (Basu et al, 2021;Ottensmann et al, 2008;Mondal et al, 2018), where CBD distance was the most sensitive parameter for spatial land-cost distribution.…”

“…However, costs of SPV installation affected by social factors, such as land, labor and supply chain costs have only recently been explored in literature. A methodology to optimize location-dependent social costs of SPV plants by a multi-factor spatial parameterization (MUFSP) model is presented in (Basu et al, 2021). Such developments have increased the power parity of SPV more than any other renewable sources of energy.…”

“…Such developments have increased the power parity of SPV more than any other renewable sources of energy. Despite these developments, variable renewable energies (VRE) such as SPV power generation are subject to intermittency depending on the weather and time of day (Kennedy, 2023;Joseph et al, 2022;Basu et al, 2021). Due to the intermittency, in countries like Japan and Germany, SPV is subject to curtailment when supply exceeds demand (Dumlao and Ishihara, 2020;Frysztacki and Brown, 2020).…”

“…This study is the first to analyze the optimization of social factors associated with GES systems in any terrain. This paper adopts the MUFSP model proposed in (Basu et al, 2021) to GES deployment in the Fukuoka city region of Japan, which is a part of the Kyushu grid. The aim of this model is to geolocate the minimum cost-optimized point for construction of a GES system based on social factors.…”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Gravity Energy Storage (GES) systems are recently being considered as a viable solution for storing intermittent renewable energy power, specifically in high curtailment zones. While a few studies have analyzed the material costs of GES systems, there is a paucity of literature on analyzing the socioeconomic costs of GES systems. This study analyzes the location-dependent costs of GES plants using a multi-factor spatial parameterization model for evaluating the existence of a point of minimum cost in a suburban mountainous geography. A case study of 500x500 points in a 50x50km2 area in the suburban area of Fukuoka city in Japan is performed. It is found that the cost of material transportation and transmission is more dominant in determining the position of an optimal cost location than factors of excavation and land costs. The position of the minima is also related to the principal urban area in that the line connecting the Center Business District (CBD) and suburban flat areas (line 1) is where the potential minima lie. The intersection point of an orthogonal to the line connecting the CBD with a substation nearest to the flat area with line 1, is the potential zone of minima location. The findings of this study are critical for urban energy planners and reveals how socioeconomic cost factors can aid in geolocation a suitable GES installation site.</span></p>

In analyzing the decoupling of emissions from economic growth, current literature foregoes the nonlinear complexities of macroeconomic systems, leading to ineffective energy transition policies, specifically for developing countries. This study focuses on the Indian energy–economy–emission nexus to establish a control system that internalizes inflation, trade openness, and fossil fuel imports with economic growth and macro-emissions to visualize the complex pathways of decoupling. Through long-term cointegration and vector error correction modeling, it was found that GDP and energy affect capital, inflation and energy imports, which are locked in a long-run negative feedback loop that ultimately increases emissions. Capital growth enables decoupling at 0.7% CO2 emissions reduction for every 1% capital growth, while 1% inflation growth inhibits decoupling by increasing CO2 emissions by 0.8%. A cybernetic fractional circuit of R-C elements and operational amplifiers was utilized to examine the delay of pulses from GDP to the loop elements, which revealed that capital is periodic with GDP pulses. However, inflation, being aperiodic with the clock pulses of GDP, causes the pulse-width of capital to decrease and fossil fuel imports to increase. Through the circuital model, it was possible to determine the exact policy intervention schedule in business cycle growth and recession phases that could build clean energy capital and limit inflation-induced recoupling.
