Fiscal Mechanism for Countering Negative Environmental Externalities by Viktor Melnyk, Vadym Hrebenozhko

“…In the structure of the fiscal mechanism as a hierarchical system, such relatively independent components (subsystems of the second order) are distinguished as the mechanism for accumulating budget revenues (in combination with tax, credit (loan), domain-regalia mechanisms), the expenditure-budget mechanism (as a set of the budget expenditure mechanism and the mechanism for repaying state and local debts). …”

Research on low carbon dispatch technology for wind and solar grid connection in the Gobi Desert and barren land areas by Yanhong Ma, QingQuan Lv, Jianmei Zhang, Chunxiang Yang, Qiang Zhou

“…In response to the challenge of new energy consumption in the Gobi Desert and barren land areas, this paper introduces a low-carbon dispatch strategy for power systems that is based on hierarchical and incremental optimization. The strategy takes into account the effects of demand response, electrochemical energy storage stations, new energy units, and carbon trading mechanisms, with the goal of enhancing the grid’s capacity to consume new energy in these regions while also minimizing operational costs and carbon emissions. …”
