2. Name at least three components of total factor productivity (measured as output divided by the measurable inputs, i.e. Y/[KaL^1-a]), and explain what they are. (2 points each, 6 points total) Solution Components of total factor productivity are- technological change, technical efficiency and solow residual. Technological change- When total factor productivity increases due to changes in technology i.e innovations. For eg. improved design of something say cell phones. Technical efficiency- When total factor productivity increases by using the same technology and inputs in an efficient way. for eg. same unit of labor, capital and technology is used to produce more unit of output i.e improving the efficiency of inputs. Solow residual- When total factor productivity increases due factors other than techonological change and technical efficiency..

An Evolutive Algorithm (EA) for wind farm optimal design, including the investment financial risk, is presented. The algorithm objective is to optimize the profits given an investment on a wind farm including the main risk management aspects. Net Present Value (NPV) will be used as a figure of the revenue in the proposed method. To estimate the NPV is necessary to calculate the initial capital investment and net cash flow throughout the wind farm life cycle.

With rapid development of india’s national economy and improvement of living standards, energy issues have turned into serious social problems, restricting further development in the country. Large public buildings in india consume a great quantity of energy, and the indian government has rolled out a number of programs to retrofit them. Many retrofit technologies are readily available in india. However, there is uncertainty about technology effectiveness and which technologies work better in which climate zone. Only spotty analyses and summaries of real projects are available in literature. This report compares and analyzes these technologies in detail and provides some guidance in selecting economically effective approaches to retrofitting large public buildings. The first section sorts out some common building energysaving technologies and describes each technology with real projects. This section offers related background information for calculations later in the report.the second section summarizes energy consumption in office buildings and retail stores based on a literature survey for three major locations in india. The data includes itemized energy consumption, as well as energy use at whole-building levels. Later, building energy consumption simulation software – equest is used to simulate typical public buildings we constructed out of the literature survey. We calibrated the models, adjusted the usage schedules, and built a series of prototype models for all three geographical locations. The last section evaluates the effectiveness of each retrofit technology. Equest simulated the energy consumption with and without retrofit technologies in order to determine savings. We then added a cost analysis and calculated the typical payback period for each technology. Finally, we summarized these findings in tables so that readers can easily compare and understand how much savings and the payback period they can expect before starting a retrofit project.

This is a compilation of the overall process in conducting energy audit based on my personal experiences, training that I attended in Malaysia, India and Japan and information sharing between fellow EE practitioners.Not to forget references from books and internet. I believe this would benefit to those who wants to understand what is energy audit all about for beginners to become energy auditor and to facilities owners to assess the need to conduct energy audit and energy audit proposals submitted by consultants

2. The Mars Climate Orbiter (formerly the Mars Surveyor 98 Orbiter) was one of two spacecraft in the Mars Surveyor 98 program, the other being the Mars Polar Lander (formerly the Mars Surveyor 98 Lander). The two missions were to study the Martian weather, climate, and water and carbon dioxide badget in order to understand the reservoirs, behavior, and atmospheric role of volatiles and to warch for evidence of long-term and episodic climate changes. The Mars Climate Orbiter was destroyed when a navigation error caused the spacecraft to miss its intended 140-150 km altitude above Mars during orbit insertion, instead entering the Martian atmosphere at about 57 km. The spacecraft was destroyed by atmospherie stresses and friction at this low altitude. A review board found that some data was calculated on the ground in Imperial units (pound-seconds) and eported that way to the navigation team, who were expeeting the data in metric units (newton-seconds). Calculate the conversion between Newton-seconds and pound- seconds. (Hint: pound is the force of 1 slug being accelerated at 1 foot/see2, and 1 slug is 14.59 kg.) s. (Hint: 1 pound is the force of 1 slug being accelerated at 1 foot/see, and 1 slug Solution 1 newtons = 0.224808942443 pounds hence 1 newton -second = 0.224808942443 pounds -seconds.

2. Identifying time lags Advocates of active policy face several obstacles when implementing discretionary fiscal or monetary policy, such as identifying the economy?s potential output level, the natural rate of unemployment, and the effects of a passive approach. Policymakers must also cope with a multitude of time lags that complicate the implementation of active policy. Identify the type of time lag Illustrated in the following scenario: Policymakers have implemented an expansionary monetary policy, but it takes several months for the change. In the federal funds rate to translate into a change in aggregate demand and output. Decision-making lag Implementation lag Recognition lag Effectiveness lag Solution Hi, The correct answer is effectiveness lag Explanation: After all of that, and the policy is finally put into place, it takes time for policy to hit the economy and take effect. For monetary policy if can be a year to a year and a half before the peak effect of the policy is felt. This is called effectiveness lag.

2. Consumer surplus for a group of consumers Aa Aa The following graph shows the demand curve for a group of consumers in the US market for digital cameras. The market price of a digital camera is $125, as shown by the black horizontal line Each rectangle on the graph corresponds to a particular buyer in this market: orange (sguare symbols) for Alice, green (triangle symbols) for Bernie, purple (diamond symbols) for Corey, red (cross symbols) for Donyell, and tan (dash symbols) for Elton. Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing consumer surplus for each person who is willing and able to purchase a digital camera at a market price of $125 Note: If a person is either unwilling or unable to purchase a digital camera at the market price, indicate this by leaving his or her rectangle in its original position on the side of the graph PRICE (Dollars per digital camera) 400 Alice 350 A Bernie 300 Alice 250 Corey Bernie 200 Core 150 Donyell Donyell 100 Elton Elton 50 QUANTITY (Digital cameras Help Clear All Based on the information on the graph, you can tell that will buy digital cameras at the given market price, and total consumer surplus in this market will be Suppose the market price of a digital camera changes to $175. On the following graph, use the rectangles once again to shade the areas representing consumer surplus for each person who is willing and able to purchase a digital camera at the new market price: orange (sguare symbols) for Alice, green (triangle symbols) for Bernie, purple (diamond symbols) for Corey, red (cross symbols) for Donye and tan (dash symbols) for Elton Solution Consumer surplus is the surplus over the price that is paid and that a consumer is willing to pay for the product. We calculate it through the fromula below. Negative values indicate no movement in the rectangles and no purchase of product. total surplus = 125+75+25 = 225 if the price chnages to 175 then, Now only Alice and Bernie will buy. Consumer surplus reduces to 100 from 200 and the number of consumers buying the good also decrease from 3 to 2.Price willing to payActual pricesurplusDecision to buyAlice250125125YesBernie20012575YesCorey15012525YesDonyell100125- 25NoElton50125-75NO.

2. A. Define power. B. List five bases for power and explain each means in one or two sentences. Give an what example for each. C. Below are short biographies of two EEos of Intel. Using the biographies compare the power bases of the two men. Bob Noyce was a physicist with a technology background. He served as CEO until 1975. He was a person who tried to be friendly with workers and give them lots of freedom to set laid back without big differences in rewards set by rank. their own agendas. He ran a workplac He did not allow gaudy offices or travel by private jet or reserved parking spots for executives Paul Otellini became CEo in 2005. He was the first chief executive not to have a technical background. He downsized the company and eliminated many jobs for people who were not productive. He has tried to speed up new product development Solution 2. A. Power represents the degree and authority and influence of a person on other people. B. Five bases of power are listed below: Expert power: Expert power is derived by a person who possess considerable expertise in particular area. Employees having expert power are considered to be critical resource by an organization. Medical practitioners and lawyers exhibit expert power. Legitimate power: A person derives this power using his position in the company. For example, managers have the legitimate power to assign duties and responsibilities to its subordinates. Referent power: People gain referent power using his interpersonal relationships with other persons. They derive this power using their influence, trust and respect gained from other people. CEO of a company possesses this power. Coercive power: People gain coercive power by influencing others using threats or punishments. It helps the managers to control the behavior of its employees. Reward power: People gain this power base by influencing others using incentives and rewards. Promotions, appraisal and incentives are the tools used by an organization to exert reward power on its employees. C. Bob Noyce possessed the expert power as he was a physicist with technology background. He utilized the referent power using his interpersonal relationships with his employees. Besides this, he also used the reward power. Contrary to this, Paul Otellini possessed coercive and legitimate power..
