The solutions are never completely technical, so the engineer must continue to improve the means of incorporating a wide array of societal perspectives, without sacrificing sound science and good design principles.Dan Vallero understands that engineering is a profession that profoundly affects the quality of life from the subcellular and nano to the planetary scale.

For instance, electricity and gas prices may soar several magnitudes above their normal levels within a short time due to imbalances in supply and demand, yielding what is known as spikes in the spot prices. The markets are also largely influenced by seasons, since power demand for heating and cooling varies over the year. The incompleteness of the markets, due to nonstorability of electricity and temperature as well as limited storage capacity of gas, makes spot-forward 410 0$aAdvanced series on statistical science & applied probability ;$vv. 11. 606 $aElectric utilities$xMathematical models 606 $aEnergy industries$xMathematical models 606 $aStochastic models 615 0$aElectric utilities$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEnergy industries$xMathematical models. 615 0$aStochastic models. 676 $a333.793/20151922 700 $aBenth$b Fred Espen$f1969-$0151492 701 $aSaltyte Benth$b Jurate$0772024 701 $aKoekebakker$b Steen$0772025 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782268103321 996 $aStochastic modelling of electricity and related markets$91575851 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02455nam 2200589 450 001 9910787734503321 005 20230126212155.0 010 $a1-4438-5427-1 035 $a(CKB)2670000000519912 035 $a(EBL)1595324 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001174319 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12439209 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001174319 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11107430 035 $a(PQKB)10314164 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1595324 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1595324 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11046932 035 $a(OCoLC)868488996 035 $a(OCoLC)1160899750 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB149796 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000519912 100 $a20150501d2013 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aIreland in crisis? $eanalyses and proposed solutions /$fedited by Sea?n O?
