This paper discusses the problem of defining marginal costs when integer variables are present, in the context of short-term power auctions. Most of the proposals for price computation existing in the literature are concerned ...

This work deals with the effects of the series compensation on the electric power system for small-signal stability studies. Therefore, the system is modeled admitting the existence of the compensation and then, the equations ...

The article aims to demonstrate that productive announced investments constitute an important conjuntural indicator to follow the evolution of economic activity in a certain territory. Based on Seade Foundation's research ...

In this paper we analyze the optimal capital requirement in a model of banks with heterogeneous investment risks and asymmetric information. Asymmetric information prevents depositors from charging an actuarially-fair ...

The implementation of auctions of long-term firm energy call options and forward contracts as part of the instruments adopted in emerging countries to ensure resource adequacy is discussed. These mechanisms are being ...

Chemical sensors with high sensitivity that can be used under extreme conditions and can be miniaturized are of high interest in science and industry. The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is an ideal candidate as a ...
