• The Impacts of Wind Speed Trends and 30-Year Variability in Relation to Hydroelectric Reservoir Inflows on Wind Power in the Pacific Northwest

  PLoS ONE · 2015-08-13 · 7 citations

  articleOpen access

  In hydroelectric dominated systems, the value and benefits of energy are higher during extended dry periods and lower during extended or extreme wet periods. By accounting for regional and temporal differences in the relationship between wind speed and reservoir inflow behavior during wind farm site selection, the benefits of energy diversification can be maximized. The goal of this work was to help maximize the value of wind power by quantifying the long-term (30-year) relationships between wind speed and streamflow behavior, using British Columbia (BC) and the Pacific Northwest (PNW) as a case study. Clean energy and self-sufficiency policies in British BC make the benefits of increased generation during low streamflow periods particularly large. Wind density (WD) estimates from a height of 10m (North American Regional Reanalysis, NARR) were correlated with cumulative usable inflows (CUI) for BC (collected from BC Hydro) for 1979-2010. The strongest WD-CUI correlations were found along the US coast (r ~0.55), whereas generally weaker correlations were found in northern regions, with negative correlations (r ~ -0.25) along BC's North Coast. Furthermore, during the lowest inflow years, WD anomalies increased by up to 40% above average values for the North Coast. Seasonally, high flows during the spring freshet were coincident with widespread negative WD anomalies, with a similar but opposite pattern for low inflow winter months. These poorly or negatively correlated sites could have a moderating influence on climate related variability in provincial electricity supply, by producing greater than average generation in low inflow years and reduced generation in wet years. Wind speed and WD trends were also analyzed for all NARR grid locations, which showed statistically significant positive trends for most of the PNW and the largest increases along the Pacific Coast.

• Consumer Heterogeneity in the Potential Early Mainstream Market for Plug-in Electric Vehicles

  Transportation Research Board 94th Annual MeetingTransportation Research Board · 2015-01-01

  article

  The authors characterize consumer heterogeneity in the potential early market for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs)—including plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and pure electric vehicles (EVs). The authors apply and compare two approaches, constructing consumer segments based on PEV preferences, and on lifestyle. Survey data were collected from 1,754 new vehicle buying households in Canada in 2013. The survey instrument collected extensive background information from each respondent, and PEV interest was elicited through a PEV stated choice experiment and a design space exercise. First, preference-based segments were constructed using latent-class analysis of the choice experiment data. The authors identified a smaller segment of “PEV-enthusiasts” respondents (8% of sample) with extremely high valuation of PHEVs and EVs, little interests in fuel cost savings, and high engagement in technology and environmental lifestyles. A broader segment of “PHEV-oriented” respondents (25%) expresses more moderate positive valuation of PHEVs, tends to engage in an environment-oriented lifestyle and also value fuel cost savings. Second, lifestyle-based segments were constructed using cluster analysis on a subset of potential early PEV buyers (33%). The six clusters varied in engagement in environment- and technology-oriented lifestyles, environmental concern and openness to change. PHEVs were most positively valued across all six segments, though apparent motivations varied substantially. Results suggest that PHEVs are the most likely PEV to have broad market appeal, but potential buyers can vary substantially in their valuations of fuel savings, environmental concern, and lifestyle.

• Is Awareness of Public Charging Associated with Consumer Interest in Plug-in Electric Vehicles?

  Transportation Research Board 94th Annual MeetingTransportation Research Board · 2015-01-01 · 1 citations

  article

  Policymakers often seek to increase the visibility of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) chargers in public locations in effort to build familiarity and interest in PEVs. However, it is not clear if the visibility of public charging stations actually has an impact on PEV demand. The purposes of the present study are to (1) assess the current levels of visibility for public PEV charging infrastructure within Canada and (2) identify whether or not a statistically significant relationship exists between consumer awareness of public charging infrastructure and interest in purchasing a PEV. We use data collected from a sample of 1739 Canadian new-vehicle buyers in 2013. About 18% of Canadian respondents have seen at least one public charger, while the proportion is highest in British Columbia (31%). We find a significant bivariate relationship between public charger awareness and PEV interest. However, when controlling for multiple explanatory variables in regression analyses, the relationship is weak or non-existent. While perceived existence of at least one charger exhibits no significant relationship with PEV interest, perceived existence of multiple chargers can have a weak but significant relationship. Thus, public charger awareness is not a strong predictor of PEV interest; other variables are more important, such as the availability of level 1 (110/120-volt) charging at home.

• The Retail Sector and the Internet Economy

  article1st authorCorresponding

  This paper explores the state of the retail sector of the U.S. economy with respect to the use and adoption of the Internet. The paper estimates that Internet-channel retail sales accounted for approximately 1 % of the total retail sales in the beginning of 2000. This is approximately US$8 billion. While Internet retailers are continuing to experience significant growth, their competitors who come from the “bricks and mortar ” world of physical retailing are making significant inroads to a complementary Internet and physical channel strategy. This paper examines 15 firms that participate in varying forms of electronic commerce. I identify some of the best practices of firms using the Internet effectively in their business strategy by identifying some financial and technical measures of performance. While the future of electronic commerce is certainly rosy for some retailers, I project that it is unlikely that Internet-channel retail sales will surpass more than 10 % of the total retail sales in the U.S. I could make a mint Fill my pockets with more than lint I'll give you a hint It involves the "internet"1
