Dynamic optimization in energy, environmental and finance
FY 2011-12
Summary
In this research, we develop mathematical models and tools to improve
our understanding of two key problems.
The first problem is the management of energy resources, mainly power, to maximize
their productivity without incurring undue risks. We need to account for the dynamic
nature of the problem, that is, the state of the world changes as time unfolds, and
early decisions have to account for this in the best possible way.
The second problem is the design of greenhouse gases (GHG) control policies. While
most scientists agree that a curbing of GHG is absolutely necessary, politicians
largely disagree on the way to achieve any reductions. It is our goal to provide analytical
tools to help in comparing policies, on various counts.
