    Investigating the Economy-wide Rebound Effects from Adopting Fiscal Policies to Mitigate Pollution Emission

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Miri, Mohammad (Author) ; Saboohi, Yadollah (Supervisor) ; Adel Barkhordar, Zahra (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    For policy and decision makers, controlling pollution emissions are a real challenge. The best way to collect fiscal resources, optimal distribution of them to developing businesses in optimal energy production and reducing emissions, are important issues to be decided. Finding a monetary value emissions imposing to community is a key point to find out how they are affecting the whole economy and this will help decision makers to conduct better road maps and policies. Many different approaches and methodologies are used in literature to find appropriate answers to above mentioned questions and phenomena, in this research, integrated assessment modeling methodology is used, an economical... 

    Green Supply Chain Management by Minimizing Carbon Footprint, Case Study KALLEH Meat Products Company

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Peyghambarzadeh, Amir Hossein (Author) ; Abrishamchi, Ahmad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    When increased emissions are combined with a carbon tax or emissions trading system, the result is a supply chain with increased costs attributable to the emission generated on the different parts of supply chain. Most traditional supply chain design models do not take emissions and carbon costs into account. Hence, there is a need to incorporate emission costs into a supply chain optimization model to see how the optimal supply chain configuration may be affected by the additional expenses. This thesis presents a mathematical programming model for the design of green supply chains. The costs of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions were incorporated in the objective function, along with the... 

    Developing a Risk Assessment Model of Energy Service Companies (ESCO) for Optimal Allocation of Financial Resources

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ahmadi, Mohsen (Author) ;
    Abstract
    The main aim of this project is to develop a model for risk assessment of energy service companies (ESCO) using energy efficiency and emission trading markets. For this purpose, structure of the market has been developed and then by explaining the interactions between ESCO and other members of the market, ESCO's cash flows have been determineded. In the next stage, probability distribution of the cash flows have been extracted and risk assessment have been performed. The differences in energy prices coming from subsidies is the foundation of this market. In this market, ESCO will sell the saved energy rights which has been achieved in the low price level sector to the other sector with high... 

    Technical design and economic investigations for reducing co2emission considering environmental protection agency standards by employing an optimum grid-connected PV/Battery system

    , Article International Journal of Photoenergy ; Volume 2022 , 2022 ; 1110662X (ISSN) Fard, H.F ; Alavi, M. F ; Sharabaty, H ; Ahmadzadeh, M ; Mahariq, I ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Pollutant emission is one of the most important problems the world faces. Using sustainable energies is among the best solutions which can be employed to reduce CO2 and other pollutants as in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. In this study, a case study region located in the south of Iran, including 100 households, is studied to find practical methods of investment to partially replace the required energy by renewables where the total emission is confined to the EPA standards. The solar irradiant of the region is 5.36 kWh/m2/day which causes high energy consumption (3000 kWh/day). If the government invests $495705, which is equal to the social penalty that has to be paid for... 

    A dynamic fuzzy interactive approach for DG expansion planning

    , Article International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems ; Volume 43, Issue 1 , 2012 , Pages 1094-1105 ; 01420615 (ISSN) Esmi Jahromi, M ; Ehsan, M ; Fattahi Meyabadi, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This paper presents a dynamic multi objective model for distribution network expansion, considering the distributed generators (DGs) and network reinforcements. The proposed model simultaneously optimizes three objective functions namely, total cost, emission cost and technical satisfaction (voltage profile) by finding the optimal schemes of timing, sizing, placement and DG technologies in a long term planning period (dynamic planning). The importance of each objective function can be changed in the interactive steps. The calculation algorithm is based on Chaotic Local Search with Modified Honey Bee Mating Optimization (CLSMHBMO). The effectiveness of the proposed model and the calculation... 

    An interactive fuzzy multi-objective approach for short term DG planning

    , Article International Journal of Innovative Computing, Information and Control ; Volume 8, Issue 6 , 2012 , Pages 4157-4175 ; 13494198 (ISSN) Jahromi, M. E ; Ehsan, M ; Meyabadi, A. F ; Niknam, T ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This paper presents a short term multi-objective planning model for Distributed Generators (DGs) deployment in an electrical network. "Total Cost" and "Emission Cost" are two objective functions which have been going to be minimized in this model by finding the optimal schemes of sizing, placement and DG technologies over a short planning period (static planning). The proposed model can be used for a long term planning period (dynamic planning) in order to consider the timing concept. An interactive fuzzy satisfying method based on Chaotic Local Search and Modified Honey Bee Mating Optimization (CLS-MHBMO) is used to choose the final solution. The effectiveness of the proposed model and... 

    Optimal deployment of renewable electricity technologies in Iran and implications for emissions reductions

    , Article Energy ; Volume 91 , 2015 , Pages 882-893 ; 03605442 (ISSN) Aryanpur, V ; Shafiei, E ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Ltd  2015
    Abstract
    In this paper, special focus is paid to the long-term adoption of renewable electricity technologies and their implications for emissions reductions in Iran. MESSAGE, as a bottom-up energy supply optimization model, is used to assess the lowest-cost technology options. The potential impacts of transitioning to a renewable electricity supply are quantified, and the investment requirement to achieve a low-carbon generation mix is estimated. Alternative scenarios are defined to evaluate the impact of fossil fuel prices, the carbon tax and government incentives on the utilization of renewable resources, national renewable targets, and emissions reductions. The prioritization of non-hydro...
