Uncertainty analysis for industries investing in energy equipment and renewable energy sources

This paper studies the optimal design and operation of new energy equipment including renewable energy sources for prosumer industries. In order to augment the interest of industries in performing energy actions, the economic parameters of the investment are analysed and the risk related to it considering the uncertainty in energy markets is evaluated. A two-stage optimization approach is proposed considering the whole lifetime of the energy equipment and an uncertainty analysis performed through the evaluation of the deterministic model under Latin Hypercube Samples of uncertain parameters. A case study based on a real industry is presented, whose results expose the robustness of the optimization methodology and the acceptable risk of investing in renewable energy sources and energy equipment for prosumer purposes.

Swot Analyses

Renewable energy is necessary for each industry functioning, also for hotel industry. It’s necessary for warming, lightening hotels, for kitchens functioning in hotels, for transport vehicles movement, for hotel pools, etc. In lack of classic energy sources, long period of time some work is done on finding new energy sources, besides oil and coal, water and wind. Nowadays, solar energy is very popular, which is already supplied, bio-energy, wind energy, water energy, geothermal and gas energy, steam, and still a work is done on permanent finding of new renewable energy sources (fuel cell resources, ocean/wave resources). In this paper, overworked data is shown, brought by Ohrid hotels and SWOT analyses has been done of energy consumption in hotel industry in Ohrid, with proposals for modernization, efficiency, aiming to modern tourism development, environment protection, human health protection. In this way, basic demands for entering the European Union will be satisfied and legislative harmonization in Republic of Macedonia with other EU members is going to be realized.

Energy conservation or energy saving is one of the most important methods for reducing CO2 emissions, which is known to be associated with global warming. Although development of renewable energy sources such as solar or wind energy is necessary, we must first pay attention to the fact that enormous amounts of energy are consumed uselessly at present. Energy saving should therefore be one of the first problems to be tackled. It may not only bring reductions in CO2 emission, but also may lead to savings in expenditure on energy. This paper introduces some of the initiatives taking place in Japan aimed at energy conservation.
