Modeling of Prospects for the Development of Regional Renewable Energy

Abstract

It has been proven that to solve the problems that arise in the combinatorial modeling of the prospects for the development of regional renewable energy, an algorithmically simple general combinatorial approach is the most appropriate option. The conceptual express method and corresponding mechanisms of the economic estimation of the efficiency of variants of the formation of regional systems of renewable energy have been suggested. These variants take into account the inflationary factors which serve as a basis of the analysis of investment and innovative projects of renewable energy sources by means of combinatorial modeling methods. To qualitatively analyze the effectiveness of the compared options, the system of existing indicators of the economic efficiency of renewable energy sources at the meso-level has been studied. The system was supplemented by informal and environmental indicators, the need for which is due to the fact that they have a significant impact on renewable energy in the region. Factors that significantly determine the effectiveness of the investment and innovation project for the introduction of renewable energy sources into the regional economy have been substantiated.

Methods for evaluating technical innovations in the implementation of energy-saving measures in enterprises

“…When implementing energy-saving measures, the appropriate methodology is considered, which has the following sections [1] : preamble (summary, goals (objectives)); technical and economic characteristics of the basic energy scheme; measures to improve the management of this energy scheme; calculation of capital investments for technical re-equipment of the projected energy scheme; calculation of savings in current energy system costs; calculation of the energy system operating costs; calculation of prime cost reduction; determining the effectiveness of the suggested measures; and calculation of savings from the reduction of payments for the environmental intervention of an enterprise. The preamble provides a brief description of the problems to be solved when designing the energy scheme of energy-saving measures, the scheme of technical and economic calculations, and defines the expected results to be obtained after the implementation of organizational and technical measures of the project.…”
