Weather Risk Management in Energy Sector
, 2012 The paper examines the problem of adverse weather effects on energy sector, outlines possible weather risk management strategies and presents weather derivatives as currently most effective instrument of weather protection. Weather effects both energy consumption and production, and poses significant source of risk especially when considering energy ...

Hedging Wind Power Risk Exposure through Weather Derivatives
Energies, 2022 We introduce the industrial portfolio of a wind farm of a hypothetical company and its valuation consistent with the financial market. Next, we propose a static risk management policy originating from hedging against volumetric risk due to drops in wind ...

Weathered Hydrocarbon Wastes: A Risk Management Primer [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, 2007 We provide a primer and critical review of the characterization, risk assessment, and bioremediation of weathered hydrocarbons. Historically the remediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons has been expressed in terms of reductions in total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) load rather than reductions in risk.

Submicron Metasurface Reconfigured Multiband Smart Windows
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work presents a submicron metasurface reconfigured multiband thermochromic smart window. By integrating subwavelength nanostructures into a Fabry−Perot resonator configuration, it mitigates conventional trade‐offs to simultaneously deliver high luminous transmittance and robust solar heating and radiative cooling modulation capabilities ...

The spatial domain of wildfire risk and response in the wildland urban interface in Sydney, Australia [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 In order to quantify the risks from fire at the wildland urban interface (WUI), it is important to understand where fires occur and their likelihood of spreading to the WUI.

A portfolio of weather risk transfer contracts efficiently reduces risk
Climate Risk Management, 2021 We quantify the potential reduction of risk in practice that is possible by constructing a portfolio of contracts covering weather risks, relative to a portfolio of lower-frequency natural catastrophe risks.
