The Mathematical Foundations of the Potential Payback Period (PPP)

This paper presents the mathematical foundations of the Potential Payback Period (PPP) as a unified framework for asset valuation and return determination. The PPP integrates earnings growth, discounting, and risk into a single dynamic metric derived from exponential growth and present value theory.

Determination of payback periods for photovoltaic systems in domestic properties [PDF]

, 2012
The paper reports on the two year performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems which were installed on 23 new build properties in South Yorkshire, UK, and the impact of the feed-in-tariff on payback periods. The majority of the properties (17 No.) were fitted with a 3.02 kiloWatt peak (kWp) photovoltaic system, designed to supply, on average, up to 2400 ...

Variable Rate Irrigation: A Long‐Term Simulated and Field Data Analyses of Irrigation Practices, Field Variability, Economic Feasibility and Profitability

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term economic analyses of variable rate irrigation (VRI) strategies were performed compared with uniform irrigation management (UIM) in a reference production field using the AquaCrop model. Five strategies to trigger irrigation were as follows: (Field Capacity‐VRI, Driest Soil Trigger‐VRI, Water Mining‐VRI, Conventional Uniform ...

Economic feasibility of using agrivoltaics for tomato farming

Food and Energy Security
Agrivoltaics or agrophotovoltaics (APV), which simply describes farming under a canopy of PV panels, has been recently gaining a wider implementation to improve farming yields as well as generate electricity on the same piece of land. The presented study

Exploratory Analysis of Sustainable Consumption and Production Factors in Services: Insights From Four Case Studies Using Interpretive Structural Modeling

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how 14 sustainable consumption and production (SCP) factors interact across four service categories—Mass Service, Professional Service, Service Factory, and Service Shop—using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). ISM enables the identification and hierarchical classification of interdependencies among SCP factors in ...

How AI and Digital Technologies Can Enhance Sustainable Livestock Manure Management: An Overview From Treatment to Distribution

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable livestock manure management sits at the nexus of climate, nutrient circularity and water quality. This review explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms are used across four management stages, that is, treatment, storage, valorisation and distribution, and figures out where integration fails to deliver ...

Technological Innovation, Structural Transformation, and Policy Pathways to Energy Independence: Quantile Evidence From Türkiye in the Context of SDGs 7, 9, and 13

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study empirically examines the structural determinants of energy independence (EIND) in Türkiye over the period 1990–2023, with a particular focus on Total Factor Productivity (TFP), Energy Efficiency R&D Effectiveness (EERDE), and Renewable Energy R&D Effectiveness (RENRDE). Grounded in Endogenous Growth Theory and the Porter Hypothesis,
