“My Electricity” Program Effectiveness Supporting the Development of PV Installation in Poland

Abstract: There are a lot of studies that show the legitimacy of subsidizing renewable energy; however, some mechanisms are defective, and there are problems with the appropriate allocation of funds. Therefore, this paper aims to look at the situation of allocating funds to photovoltaics (PV) micro-installations in Poland through the “My Electricity” program. The article presents the results of analyses aimed at identifying inequalities between provinces in the use of funds available under the “My Electricity” program and verifying whether these inequalities are getting worse and whether the intensity of support should not be territorially conditioned in terms of maximization an electricity production. As part of two editions of the “My Electricity” program (until 1 August 2020), over 64,000 PV micro-installations were created with an average power of approximately 5.7 kWp. The total installed PV capacity was 367.1 MWp (1st edition: 159.3 MWp, 2nd edition: 207.8 MWp). Financial resources (as a whole), in the second edition of “My Electricity” program, were distributed better than in the first edition. In the first edition, as much as 7.60% of funds were allocated inefficiently; in the second edition, it was only 3.88%. Allocation surpluses occur in provinces where the average disposable income is low and where there are a small number of households. There is a potential to introduce a territorial project selection criteria. The analysis shows that the criteria should promote provinces with higher disposable income and a larger number of households.

The Valuation of the Operational Flexibility of the Energy Investment Project Based on a Gas-Fired Power Plant

Abstract: This paper presents an attempt to the valuation of the operational flexibility of the energy investment project based on the example of combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT). For this purpose, the real options approach (ROA), net present value (NPV) method, and the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation have been used. Motivations to take up such a topic result from the fact that traditional valuation methods neglect flexibility embedded in CCGT assets. Operational flexibility was defined as the switching option to dynamically shut down and restart gas units. Valuation of the operational flexibility, the project’s extended net present value (XNPV), was based on a discounted cash flow model. The Monte Carlo simulation, allowing for better replication of the stochastic nature of market factors and some technical parameters, was introduced to the valuation model. The obtained results indicate that the value of the options significantly influences the NPV of the analyzed technology and its risk profile. The NPV was calculated at −169.1 million USD, while the XNPV amounted to 102.5 million USD. This difference, compared to the NPV distribution range at a significance level of 0.05, was more than 8.1% (almost 10.4% for α = 0.1). The results achieved help to explain the significance of the operational flexibility in the modeling profitability of CCGT technologies.

Analysis of the Potential for Gas Micro-Cogeneration Development in Poland Using the Monte Carlo Method

Abstract: Micro-cogeneration (mCHP) is a promising solution for the generation of heat and electricity in households, it contributes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions in countries where the production of electricity is mainly based on fossil fuels Its dissemination in Poland faces barriers in the form of high purchase prices in relation to electricity productivity In this work 1% of the household population in Poland was analyzed using the Monte Carlo method It was found that for mCHP to become economically profitable for a group of at least 10,000 households, its price should fall from around 18,000 euros (7115 euros/kWth and 18,000 euros/kWe) to 4800 euros (1897 euros/kWth and 4800 euros/kWe) and for 100,000 households to 4100 euros (1621 euros/kWth and 4100 euros/kWe) These calculations were made for fixed gas and electricity prices The analysis also included cases of various changes in gas and energy prices Faster growth of electricity prices than gas prices reduce the profitability barrier In addition, a building located in Lesser Poland region was analyzed, with an above average demand for electricity and heat Gas micro-cogeneration becomes profitable for this household at a price of 3700 euros (1462 euros/kWth and 3700 euros/kWe) at fixed gas and electricity prices

Abstract: Our school prides itself on providing the best opportunities for each child. The academic achievements have been and continue to be well above Western Australian and National averages, while the pastoral care programs that operate in the school teach children the specific social and emotional skills they need in order to develop and maintain friendships and a strong sense of selfworth. Students have a strong sense of pride in the school and display significant support for each other. Student success is valued, supported and celebrated by all.

Sustainable manufacturing and industry 4.0: what we know and what we don't

Abstract: The emergence the fourth industrial revolution, known as well as industry 40, and its applications in the manufacturing sector ushered a new era for the business entities It not only promises enhancement in operational efficiency but also magnify sustainable operations practices This current paper provides a thorough bibliometric and network analysis of more than 600 articles highlighting the benefits in favor of the sustainability dimension in the industry 40 paradigm,The analysis begins by identifying over 1,000 published articles in Scopus, which were then refined to works of proven influence and those authored by influential researchers Using rigorous bibliometric software, established and emergent research clusters were identified for intellectual network analysis, identification of key research topics, interrelations and collaboration patterns,This bibliometric analysis of the field helps graphically to illustrate the publications evolution over time and identify areas of current research interests and potential directions for future research The findings provide a robust roadmap for mapping the research territory in the field of industry 40 and sustainability,As the literature on sustainability and industry 40 expands, reviews capable of systematizing the main trends and topics of this research field are relevant
