Towards a complex investment evaluation framework for renewable energy systems: A 2-level heuristic approach

Risk assessment of energy investment in the industrial framework – Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis for energy design and operation optimisation

“…This is the case of [10], where a hybrid energy system is proposed for an industrial area performing the optimisation separately for each month of the year and without analysing prosumer capabilities. Following the same line, in [11] a grid-connected photovoltaic system is sized parametrically, while in [12] an approach to select the sizes and locations of energy sources is performed with the objective to evaluate possible future energy expansions. In all the mentioned studies, the energy equipment sizing is optimised for a single year, omitting the time evolution of parameters and without calculating the value of the investment along its lifetime.…”
