Abstract:
Major cost concepts used for evaluation of carbon policy are considered, including change in GDP, change in consumption, change in welfare, energy system cost, and area under marginal abatement cost (MAC) curve. The issues associated with the use of these concepts are discussed. We use the results from the models that participated in the European Energy Modeling Forum (EMF28) study to illustrate the cost concepts. There is substantial variability in the estimates of costs between the models, with some models showing substantial costs and some models reporting benefits from mitigation in some scenarios. Because impacts of a policy are evaluated as changes from a reference scenario, it is important to define a reference scenario. MAC cost measures tend to exclude existing distortions in the economy, while existing energy taxes and subsidies are substantial in many countries. We discuss that carbon prices are inadequate measures of the policy costs. We conclude that changes in macroeconomic consumption or welfare are the most appropriate measures of policy costs.

Abstract:
In this work the authors address an IT service customer’s challenge of selecting the cost-optimal service level agreement among different options offered by an external provider. They model the customer’s optimization problem at distinctive levels of detail with regard to the description of service quality aspects. At each level of detail they explicitly consider the potential negative monetary impact of different service quality levels on a customer’s business process – reflected via the concept of “business cost.” First, they analyze which information a customer typically bases service level agreement decisions upon today and elaborate on the question which additional information a rational customer would need to take a well-founded decision. Second, the authors define a set of concepts that a customer should consider when selecting service level agreements. Third, the authors apply these concepts to develop a “business cost budget method” that enables a customer to compare multiple service level agreements and to select the cost-optimal solution of its optimization problem – assuming customer and provider to collaborate. Introducing this approach, they suggest that both parties jointly define “business cost budgets” as an additional kind of service indicator describing service quality’s adverse business impact instead of only service quality.

Abstract:
In this article the shift of the Swedish goverment´s policies for the financing through taxation, fees and prices paid for the use of roads and railroads from 1945 until the 2010s is discussed. It is argued that the shift from a full-cost coverage principle to a short term social marginal cost principle can be seen in the light of the controversy between a Coasean and a Pigovian perspective. The Coasean perspective furthers an institutional view where organizations and dynamic development matters while the Pigovian perspective furthers a welfare economic equilibrium view where organizations are less focused. It is argued that the shift in policies coincided with less interest and focus on the organizational perspective and incentives for organizational efficiency, which can be seen in the public documents from the time. The government seems to have been guided by a mar ket failure stance since the 1970s which has motivated growing intervention, following a mar ket-economy stance in the first 25 years after the nationalization of roads and railroads. A current opening in transport infrastructure policies with more room for alternative financing, user charges and fees might, even though also consistent with short term social marginal cost principles, signal a revival of a perspective more in line with the Coasean view.

Abstract:
The objective of the thesis was to analyse several process configurations for the production of electricity from biomass. Process simulation models using AspenPlus aimed at calculating the industrial performance of power plant concepts were built, tested, and used for analysis. The criteria used in analysis were performance and cost. All of the advanced systems appear to have higher efficiencies than the commercial reference, the Rankine cycle. However, advanced systems typically have a higher cost of electricity (COE) than the Rankine power plant. High efficiencies do not reduce fuel costs enough to compensate for the high capital costs of advanced concepts. The successful reduction of capital costs would appear to be the key to the introduction of the new systems. Capital costs account for a considerable, often dominant, part of the cost of electricity in these concepts. All of the systems have higher specific investment costs than the conventional industrial alternative, i.e. the Rankine power plant; Combined beat and power production (CUP) is currently the only industrial area of application in which bio-power costs can be considerably reduced to make them competitive. Based on the results of this work, AsperiPlus is an appropriate simulation platform. How-ever, the usefulness of the models could be improved if a number of unit operations were modelled in greater detail. The dryer, gasifier, fast pyrolysis, gas engine and gas turbine models could be improved.

Includes bibliographical references (leaf 27).
There has been an increasing demand for cost estimation tools which aid in the reduction of system cost or the active consideration of cost as a design constraint. The existing tools are currently incapable of anticipating the unseen or latent effects of design changes made in an effort to cut cost. This paper presents an example of how the tools and concepts of axiomatic design theory can be integrated with the parametric cost estimation process, and then presents a series of arguments for why tools such as these which examine the functional architecture of a system are useful for optimizing cost at the preliminary design level.

Abstract:
CIVINS
The Navy, like many other federal organizations, is being faced with a decreasing budget. One of the Navy's biggest problems is that owning and operating their shore infrastructure is consuming too much of its limited resources. One way to reduce the cost of owning and operating the shore infrastructure is to plan and design facilities with lower life cycle costs i.e. , facilities with components that last longer, cost less to operate, and cost less to maintain. Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), as with all federal agencies, has been directed to perform economic analysis based on Life Cycle Cost (LCC) concepts on all Navy facility projects. However, in a recent study, NAVFAC found that a majority of their facility project areas were not using LCC concepts when conducting economic analysis. This paper will: (1) provide a brief introduction to life cycle cost concepts and economic analysis; (2) introduce NAVFAC and its role in the facility planning process; (3) summarize current federal policies regarding facility planning and LCC concepts; (4) summarize NAVFAC's report concerning the status of LCC in the planning process; (5) analyze and make recommendations to two main issues hindering NAVFAC use of LCC

Abstract:
The research network “Basic Concepts for Convection Parameterization in Weather Forecast and Climate Models” was organized with European funding (COST Action ES0905) for the period of 2010–2014. Its extensive brainstorming suggests how the subgrid-scale parameterization problem in atmospheric modeling, especially for convection, can be examined and developed from the point of view of a robust theoretical basis. Our main cautions are current emphasis on massive observational data analyses and process studies. The closure and the entrainment–detrainment problems are identified as the two highest priorities for convection parameterization under the mass–flux formulation. The need for a drastic change of the current European research culture as concerns policies and funding in order not to further deplete the visions of the European researchers focusing on those basic issues is emphasized.

Master's thesis, Aircraft Design and Systems Group (AERO), Department of Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, 2019. http://d-nb.info/1204558019.

Full text
Abstract:
Purpose - This thesis presents a comparison of aircraft design concepts to identify the superior propulsion system model among turbo-hydraulic, turbo-electric and classic jet propulsion with respect to Direct Operating Costs (DOC), environmental impact and fuel burn. --- Approach - A simple aircraft model was designed based on the Top-Level Aircraft Requirements of the Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, and novel engine concepts were integrated to establish new models. Numerous types of propulsion system configurations were created by varying the type of gas turbine engine and number of propulsors. --- Findings - After an elaborate comparison of the aforementioned concepts, the all turbo-hydraulic propulsion system is found to be superior to the all turbo-electric propulsion system. A new propulsion system concept was developed by combining the thrust of a turbofan engine and utilizing the power produced by the turbo-hydraulic propulsion system that is delivered via propellers. The new partial turbo-hydraulic propulsion concept in which 20% of the total cruise power is coming from the (hydraulic driven) propellers is even more efficient than an all turbo-hydraulic concept in terms of DOC, environmental impact and fuel burn. --- Research Limitations - The aircraft were modelled with a spreadsheet based on handbook methods and relevant statistics. The investigation was done only for one type of reference aircraft and one route. A detailed analysis with a greater number of reference aircraft and types of routes could lead to other results. --- Practical Implications - With the provided spreadsheet, the DOC and environmental impact can be approximated for any commercial reference aircraft combined with the aforementioned propulsion system concepts. --- Social Implications - Based on the results of this thesis, the public will be able to discuss the demerits of otherwise highly lauded electric propulsion concepts. --- Value - To evaluate the viability of the hydraulic propulsion systems for passenger aircraft using simple mass models and aircraft design concept.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California
This paper presents a new architecture of the end-to-end ground system to reduce overall mission support costs. The present ground system of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is costly to operate, maintain, deploy, reproduce, and document. In the present climate of shrinking NASA budgets, this proposed architecture takes on added importance as it will dramatically reduce all of the above costs. Currently, the ground support functions (i.e., receiver, tracking, ranging, telemetry, command, monitor and control) are distributed among several subsystems that are housed in individual rack-mounted chassis. These subsystems can be integrated into one portable laptop system using established MultiChip Module (MCM) packaging technology. The large scale integration of subsystems into a small portable system will greatly reduce operations, maintenance and reproduction costs. Several of the subsystems can be implemented using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products further decreasing non-recurring engineering costs. The inherent portability of the system will open up new ways for using the ground system at the “point-of-use” site as opposed to maintaining several large centralized stations. This eliminates the propagation delay of the data to the Principal Investigator (PI), enabling the capture of data in real-time and performing multiple tasks concurrently from any location in the world. Sample applications are to use the portable ground system in remote areas or mobile vessels for real-time correlation of satellite data with earth-bound instruments; thus, allowing near real-time feedback and control of scientific instruments. This end-to-end portable ground system will undoubtedly create opportunities for better scientific observation and data acquisition.

Abstract:
A knowledge-based method for the cost estimation of concept variants for new or prototype products manufactured as unique-manufacture or in small batches-series. The goal is to provide design engineers of mechanical products with a method of which software implementation will enable them to perform easy, plausible cost estimations already in the very early development (concept) phases of product concepts or drafts. This will allow them to make prompt decisions about the most promising and cost-efficient concept for further development. Concurrently, the method will assist the designer in localizing the most cost-intensive concept or draft zones and in identifying the technical and process properties related to these costs. Hence, he will be able to concentrate on these characteristics and introduce an optimization procedure in the later detail design phase. Accordingly, the method is based on the principles of the systems engineering theory. Thereby, a “fundamental method element” is created. Based on this element, the application of the object-oriented design method leads to the creation of classes containing concept modeling elements with driving cost attributes concerning technical and process properties. The cost generation mechanism is then mapped in a class structure framework. In order to resolve the problem of the cost data vagueness and apply cost relationships in the concept phase, a fuzzy model is created to perform the cost estimation.

Abstract:
Achieving higher emission reductions on one hand and employing lower cost concepts on the other hand are desirable in designing future power generator systems. Hence, interdisciplinary studies in a form of system concept modeling should be employed to conceptualize and construct economic and efficient low-carbon system concepts. The concept modeling starts with simple idealized models that preserve the key structural features of a system and adds complex features in the following stages to elucidate principles, relationships, and interfaces. For wind systems, the essential features for concept modeling are wind and load variations, and the main goal is to obtain the cost of electricity delivered by the system as a function of wind penetration (emission reduction); more complex features (storage, photovoltaic, transmission, etc.) are added in the following stages. In this work, an interdisciplinary concept modeling is provided to estimate the magnitude of cost versus performance using the wind/load data from Pennsylvania New Jersey Maryland Interconnection (PJM) LLC, and cost estimations published by the Energy Information Agency. The results show that system total cost increases modestly at low penetration, and it increases more rapidly when wind curtailment becomes significant. Eventually storage becomes cheaper than curtailment. The key question that should be answered in this modeling is the magnitude of electricity cost for high penetration, low emission systems.

Abstract:
This paper presents a lifecycle-cost model of concept testing, with and without learning. In the lifecycle-cost model, product lifecycle is divided into four stages: marketing, concept generation, prototyping, and product lifecycle after prototyping. Engineers minimize the expected lifecycle cost to find the optimum number of prototypes that engineers develop to test concepts. The optimum number of prototypes is a function of unit costs in these stages. The optimum number of prototypes depends not on the absolute cost of prototyping one concept, but on prototyping cost relative to the other stage costs. In the lifecycle-cost model with learning, engineers can more accurately choose good concepts that they test as prototypes once they gain experience in developing similar products or as they learn more effectively from their experiences. As engineers gain more experience or improve their learning capability, the optimum number of prototypes decreases.

Abstract:
With the numbers of older persons in the Asia and Pacific region increasing rapidly, there is a growing urgency to develop and strengthen long-term care (LTC) support systems and services. This working paper aims to enhance the understanding, particularly of policy makers and those planning modeling studies, of using statistical models to project the need, demand, and cost of LTC services. The paper first outlines modeling and its importance. Second, it describes key concepts related to LTC need, demand, and measurement. Then, it identifies key issues to consider when designing and using models. A review of recent modeling studies is also summarized, drawing out lessons relevant to low- and middle- income countries.
