“…The most common carbon regulation policies include carbon tax policies, carbon emission cap-and-trade policies and mandatory carbon emission capacity policies (Liu et al, 2015). Among these, a mandatory carbon emission capacity policy, also known as a command-and-control policy, is the strictest and most rigid.…”

Optimal acquisition policy in remanufacturing systems with quantity discount and carbon tax scheme

et al. 2016

Original scientific paper High uncertainty and variability of acquirable cores can lead to some difficulties of operations management in the remanufacturing process. Two acquisition models with quantity discount and carbon tax scheme were established to analyze the effect of quality variability and condition uncertainty and to reduce these difficulties. In the first model, quality variability was considered. The optimal acquisition policy was determined by a single closed-form expression because the average cost of remanufactured products is independent of the acquisition quantity for a given discount segment. In the second model, both quality variability and condition uncertainty were considered. The properties of the model were analyzed, and a single algorithm was developed to obtain the optimal acquisition policy based on the bisection method. Finally, numerical simulation examples were provided to explore the effect of quantity discount on the optimal acquisition policy. Results show that the quantity discount schedule impels remanufacturers to acquire more cores and enhances the chances of remanufacturers to select the best cores. Moreover, the total expected cost decreases, especially in the case with both quality variability and condition uncertainty. The proposed model can effectively solve the acquisition problem in remanufacturing systems.

Postavljena su dva modela akvizicije s popustom na količinu i planom poreza na ugljik u svrhu analize učinka promjenljivosti kvalitete i nesigurnosti uvjeta i smanjenja tih problema. U prvom se modelu razmatrala promjenljivost kvalitete. Optimalna politika akvizicije određena je pojedinačnim izrazom zatvorenog oblika jer prosječna cijena prerađenog proizvoda ne ovisi o dobivenoj količini za dati segment diskonta. U drugom su modelu uzeti u obzir i promjenljivost kvalitete i nesigurnost uvjeta. Analizirana su svojstva modela i razvijen je algoritam za postizanje optimalnog načina akvizicije na temelju metode bisekcije. Konačno, dani su primjeri numeričke simulacije kako bi se istražio učinak diskonta na količinu na optimalni način akvizicije. Rezultati pokazuju da se politikom diskonta na količinu prerađivači potiču na dobivanje više osnova i povećavaju im se mogućnosti da izaberu najbolju osnovu. Štoviše, smanjuje se ukupno očekivani trošak, naročito kad se radi i o promjenljivosti kvalitete i o nesigurnosti uvjeta. Predloženi model može uspješno riješiti problem akvizicije u prerađivačkim sustavima.

“…This change, transformation (or, as one might even say, return) to the use of distributed energy sources which was known at the beginning of the era of electricity is driven mainly by an increasing awareness of the human causes of climate change [3], decreases in renewable energy costs [4], increases in RES performance [5], and the imposition of CO 2 emission limits [6] (which are especially acute for countries with energy system based on combusting peat, lignite, hard coal or (shale) oil).…”

Abstract. This paper introduces a mixed integer non-linear mathematical model for a simulation of a hybrid energy source consisting of photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines (WT) and pumped storage hydroelectricity (PSH). The concept of PV-WT-PSH has been well described and evaluated for sparsely populated or remote areas such as islands. Here, due to the rapid development of renewable energy sources and most importantly the variable (non-dispatchable) energy sources such as wind and solar, the idea of wind and solar powered PSHs has been investigated in the context of the national energy system. The economic and environmental impact of the proposed hybrid has been assessed. The results reveal that to cover almost 40% of the energy demand one should expect the energy cost to increase by 25%. Due to the usually limited natural resources available for island communities and the need to transport goods (such as oil or coal) from the continent (which increases their cost) and often very favorable solar and wind conditions, RES could easily compete economically with conventional power sources. But one would have to overcome the same problems which we face nowadays with the integration of RES, namely, their variable and non-dispatchable nature. As has already been mentioned, several approaches [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] can be applied, but the concept which incorporates at least three of them is a hybrid of photovoltaic (solar power), wind turbine and pumped storage hydroelectricity (PV-WT-PSH).Coupled wind and solar power sources tend to exhibit lower variability and it is well known that on an annual time scale they exhibit a strong complementarity [11,12,[21][22][23][24]. The concept of the temporal complementarity of a dual energy source can be explained by means of two sine functions which depict their variation in energy output; in the case of perfect temporal complementarity they will be out of phase with each other by π/2, or in other words they have a very strong (˗1) negative correlation. However, perfect complementarity is very unlikely, and on a shorter time scale (days, hours) it is almost non-existent. In consequence, periods will occur with no energy available from either wind or solar generation. The opposite may occur when both sources simultaneously generate energy at their nameplate capacity. In general, the ambitious goal of meeting demand purely using VRES would require the whole system to be oversized, which will intrinsically lead to significant energy surpluses.Therefore there arises a need to somehow transfer the energy in time, meaning that surpluses occurring in period t might be used in period t + x. This can be done by means of energy storage. The most mature (and practically the only) bulk energy storage technology is PSH, which uses the elevation difference between an upper and a lower reservoir to store excess energy and release it when the generation from WT and PV is not sufficient to cover demand. It is important to note that in the
