摘要: When evaluating whether to refurbish existing hydropower plants or invest in a new power plant, there are two important aspects take into consideration. These the capacity chosen for production facilities and timing of investment. This paper presents an investment decision support framework producers with due restoration. The producer can choose between refurbishing investing facility. A real options is proposed decision. Using case from Norsk Hydro ASA, Norwegian producer, we employ evaluate opportunities. Our main contribution approach that combines scheduling valuation, results our analysis suggest feasible strategies ASA.
