Spatial–temporal QoS assessment of the EV charging network considering power outages

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2023
The rapid expansion of electric vehicle charging networks (EVCNs) makes them critical infrastructures bridging power and traffic systems. The EVCN could be vulnerable during power outages at fast charging stations (FCSs), which are induced by planned ...

Power outages and economic growth in Africa [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy Economics, 2013
Abstract This paper estimates the total effect of power outages on economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa over the period 1995–2007. We pay close attention both to potential errors of measurement of African economic growth and to the endogeneity of outages. As suggested by Henderson et al.

Power Outages, Power Externalities, and Baby Booms [PDF]

open access: yesDemography, 2013
AbstractDetermining whether power outages have significant fertility effects is an important policy question in developing countries, where blackouts are common and modern forms of family planning are scarce. Using birth records from Zanzibar, this study shows that a month-long blackout in 2008 caused a significant increase in the number of births 8 to

The Effect of Power Outages and Cheap Talk on Willingness to Pay to Reduce Outages [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
Using an open-ended contingent valuation survey, we analyze how (i) experience of a power outage due to one of the worst storms ever to hit Sweden and (ii) a cheap talk script affect respondents' WTP to avoid power outages. Experience significantly increases and a cheap talk script significantly decreases the proportion of respondents with zero WTP ...
