In this paper, a new model is developed by referring to the literature on Dutch disease and rent-seeking for explaining how a natural resource boom in the energy sector decreases national income and induces a resource movement effect under a rent-seeking monopoly. In such a model, it is shown that the resource movement effect certainly occurs during the boom where labor inputs will move to the energy sector from the services sector. Moreover, the boom facilitates rent-seeking and decreases national income. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses competition conditions in the natural gas market in Argentina since the early 90 when the sector was privatized. These reforms aimed to improve efficiency. In order to achieve this goal, assets where privatized, the market was deregulated and competition was promoted. This paper analyses the effects of these reforms on competition conditions in the natural gas market. Concentration indexes show a high degree of concentration both at the national level and at the different basins. Also concentration has not decreased since the privatization process was launched. Finally, this market also presents high sunk costs that create barriers to entry for the entrance of new competitors. Competition conditions are more consistent with the performance of an oligopoly market. The Competition Authority and the Sectorial Regulator should monitor this performance since this market is not as competitive as it was thought when the sector was privatized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Energy policy, like any other public policy, requires the powers of the government to devise precise and coordinated provisions to efficiently manage a strategic sector. Every country adopts its own energy policy based on factors like resource endowment, macroeconomic policy, the regulatory framework, and its own vision of the relationship between the state and market in a given field, to name a few factors. This paper analyzes energy policy in twenty-first century Argentina, considering its most notable peculiarities, how it has changed and remained the same, and the principal challenges looming ahead.

In order to support and facilitate the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the integrated food and energy production in Cuba, BiomaSoft was designed, a computer system for the M&E of integrated food and energy production in Cuban municipalities. The objective of this paper is to provide a description of the main aspects in the implementation and development of such system, for which its use cases are textually described and the specific design class diagrams for each one are provided. As a whole, the detailed aspects show the way in which the different actors should interact with the BiomaSoft system, tailor-designed for the support of M&E. Likewise, all the compiled information allowed to design and construct a robust database, capable of supporting the large quantity of information the system should manipulate; and also to reach a deep understanding of the functioning and capacities of the system, for their later display.

This paper presents the problem of power loss reduction in the distribution power systems without affecting the supplied electrical service quality. An approach of this problem using a methodology for the multi-objective reconfiguration is proposed. In the statement of the problem two objective functions are used: The Net Actual Value of Costs (VANC) and the Equivalent Duration of Interrupted Power (DEPI). While in the model's solution a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) is used, which is an evolutionary algorithm implemented in MATLAB from where a feasible set of solutions is obtained. The methodology proposed is used in the reconfiguration of circuits Y-410, Y-283 and Y-285 in the Camagüey city, Cuba, where the power losses were reduced in 51.7 kW, improving in that way the quality of the service supplied, diminishing to 0.3966 hours/year the equivalent hours in which the electric service fails for each kVA installed in the clients.

In this paper is presented an analysis related with the financial and productive conditions that have marked, in recent years, the management strategies in Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) y Petróleo Brasileiro (Petrobras). This is relevant in so far as to justify a new round of reforms to the regulatory framework of the domestic energy industry, has been cited repeatedly the importance of considering, among other references, the Brazilian oil model. However, the data suggest that a reform to modernize Pemex would have to start solving the debt problems and technological backwardness that have been caused by inefficient administrations.

This paper presents the results of the multivariate analysis of the main factors identified with the aim to assess the administrative and financial management of a state energy supplier in Colombia, To obtain the information it was used survey techniques, structured interviews and observation in situ. Conclusions highlights that the factors with higher correlation and contribution, from administrative management are the performance and organizational environment, the strategic planning and the organizational structure, and from the point of view of financial management, the financial diagnosis of resources, the investment decisions, the effectiveness, and the reliability of operations in new standardization projects of electrical networks.

This paper presents an analytic framework for the formulation and evaluation of automatic generation control in the Ecuadorian Electrical System (SNI) taking like reference mark the approaches CPS-1 and CPS-2 of NERC. The article is divided in sections that they explain in detail the approaches CPS of NERC, how the limits of these approaches are calculated having in consideration the specific conditions of the electric Ecuadorian system (section 2), and how the approaches are applied in the evaluation of the automatic control of the generation in SNI of Ecuador keeping in mind the interconnection with Colombia (section 3). The minimum value of BIAS is also suggested to fix in the Ecuadorian system for the execution of the approach CPS-2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper are presented the results of the influence of phase dispositions of a double circuit's transmission lines in various important aspects like its equivalents inductive and capacitive parameters of sequence positive, negative and zero, its tension drops and active y reactive losses, its ecological impact, the corona losses value, its chargeability, etc. This result was obtained modeling the double circuit line at 220 kV that link the generation station East of Havana with the bus bar at 220 kV of Cotorro Sub Station. Beside of that, it was analyzed the error make when the mutual coupling between the line circuits is not take into account. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we performed a detailed analysis on the environmental pollution caused by the consumption of fossil fuels in the production of electricity, which has prompted a revaluation of the global use of renewable energy. The production of electricity from renewable sources depends on many factors. This paper is a study on the problems associated with traditional energy sources with fossil fuels, emphasizing on the danger of indiscriminate use of these energy resources. Also is studied the use of non-conventional sources of energy as an alternative to lessen the energy crisis that is looming for the middle of this century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
