In order to assess climate mitigation agreements, we propose an iterative procedure linking TIAM-WORLD, a global technology-rich optimization model, and GEMI...

In terms of energy resources, Canada is an important player on the world scene. However, the energy systems of the Canadian provinces and territories are muc...

<p>The well-known method stochastic programming in extensive form is used on the large scale, partial equilibrium, technology rich global 15-region TIMES Int...

This paper presents an analysis of the optimal oil production quotas of OPEC under a worldwide climate regime imposing a limitation on the radiative forcing....

The partial equilibrium technology rich global 15-region TIMES Integrated Assessment Model (TIAM) is used to assess climate policies in a very uncertain worl...

<p> There is a revival in the nuclear debate observed in the literature. Most of the emission scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (I...

In order to study the conditions for a world self-enforcing agreement on climate change, we model cooperative and non-cooperative world climate strategies w...

<p>This paper presents a recent version of the advanced multi-region World MARKAL model used to explore CO2 abatement options.</p> <p>The report describes ...

Our research examines a permit trading system where all countries participate to achieve a long-term greenhouse gases (GHG) stabilization target. Our main ob...

The paper discusses the coupling of non-linear non-convex damage costs due to climate change with a cost-efficiency analysis based on a technical-economic li...

In this paper we study the role of order releases and product mix coordination in a complex manufacturing line with batch processors. We develop a planning ...

In this article, we examine least-cost for reaching the greenhouse gas emission reductions specified by ghe Kyoto protocol for three Canadian provinces, Ont...

In this paper, we use the multi-region version of a detailed bottom-up model MARKAL, to explore avenues for reducing the cost of GHG abatement in North Amer...

This paper describes a decision support system based on a sophisticated mixed integer linear programming model, EUGENE, developed to help the regional decis...

This paper describes an advanced bottom-up approach for modelling the energy-environment sector to study greenhouse gas abatement. Three new features are d...

We present a general methodology to study the electricity market of a country or region, under various pricing mechanisms. The approach is based on modifica...

The long term analysis of an energy-environment system is fraught with various uncertainties. Classical stochastic programming has been used with large scal...

This paper reports the use of an advanced Multi-region Bottom-up model, the Extended MARKAL, for an in-depth investigation of the responses by the Québec-On...

The purpose of this document is to introduce the potential users to the new features of Extended MARKAL, stochastic programming and multiple region capabili...

Future patterns of climate change and economic growth are critical parameters in long­term energy planning. This paper describes a multi­stage stochastic p...
