Selection of portfolios of electricity generation projects : an exploratory study
Matos, Eduardo; Ferreira, Paula Varandas; Cunha, JorgeThe electricity planning traditionally relies on optimization models with the objective of minimizing system costs. However, the liberalization trend of the market and development of renewable energy increased the complexity of this planning exercise. It becomes then necessary to study other methodologies in order to include in the planning process the risk variables and potential correlation between technologi...
A Risk Analysis of Small-Hydro Power (SHP) Plants Investments
Cunha, Jorge; Ferreira, PaulaThe increase in electricity consumption has led to a sharp increase in energy demand which rose environmental and sustainability concerns. To address this issue, there has been an incentive to resource to renewable energy sources for electricity production. Departing from a real case study, the investment appraisal of a SHP project under the present market conditions is described, followed by a sensitivity ana...

However, during the study it was necessary to develo...

Project evaluation for small hydro power investments in Portugal
Cunha, Jorge; Ferreira, PaulaDue to the increasing concern with sustainable development, renewable energy sources (RES) emerge as an important alternative for electricity production. In this context, for countries like Portugal, hydropower plants assume an important role and several incentives have been granted by the government to promote hydroelectric production. However, due to the deep economic and financial crisis of the last years, a...
A modified-MVA approach for sustainable electricity planning : the case of Port...
Cunha, Jorge; Ferreira, Paula VarandasThe use of the mean-variance approach (MVA) is well demonstrated in the financial literature for the optimal design of financial assets portfolios. The electricity sector portfolios are also guided by similar objectives, namely maximizing return and minimizing risk. Based on this assumption, this paper proposes a possible MVA for the definition of optimal electricity portfolios relying on renewable energy sourc...
