Heat rate curve approximation for power plants without data measuring devices
(2012)
In this work, a numerical method, based on the one-dimensional finite difference technique, is proposed
for the approximation of the heat rate curve, which can be applied for power plants in which no data
acquisition is ...
The costs of power outages: A case study for Cyprus
(Elsevier, 2012-10)
We study the costs of electricity disruptions in Cyprus, which suffered severe power shortages in summer 2011 after an explosion that destroyed 60% of its power generating capacity. We employ both economic and engineering ...
