"Fluctuating supply and learning by doing in a non-autonomous optimal control model of renewable energy production";
Vortrag: OR 2016, Hamburg (eingeladen); 30.08.2016 - 02.09.2016.

The world-wide energy demand is still increasing implying an increase
in greenhouse gas emissions, so an urgent task is to find a carbon-low
energy supply through an optimal trade-off between energy security
and sustainability. Energy security, however, turns out to be difficult
for renewable energy generation because the supply of renewable
sources underlies strong volatility. We address this issue by means of
a non-autonomous optimal control model determining the optimal mix
of fossil and renewable energy used to cover the energy demand of a
small country. We assume that the supply of the renewable resource
fluctuates seasonally and also include learning effects for the renewable
energy technology.
