Exploring the behavioural base for the Swiss energy transition : The role of attitudes and heterogeneity in the preferences of electricity consumers

Motz, Alessandra ; Maggi, Rico (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2021 ; 2021ECO003.

In the context of the international climate change mitigation efforts, several countries have been scaling up their efforts to decarbonize their economies and energy systems. The restructuring of the electricity systems has brought about new challenges, among which the acceptance of the new infrastructures and technologies, and the need of ensuring an optimal level of security of supply. This...

Security of supply and the energy transition : the households' perspective investigated through a discrete choice model with latent classes

Motz, Alessandra

In: Energy economics, 2021, vol. 97, no. May, p. 16 p

A consumer-centric, market-based approach to the security of electricity supply has been recognized as increasingly important in the context of the energy transition. Nonetheless, there is no clear-cut evidence regarding the drivers of consumer preferences toward security and the perceived trade-offs between security and sustainability. Using stated preference data, we develop a discrete...

How to harness the potential of short food supply chains in Vaud ?

Di Vita, Jonas ; Depetris Chauvin, Nicolas (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 79.

This study aimed at analyzing the demand side of short food supply chains in the canton of Vaud to provide local farmers with recommendations about how to organize, market and promote the sale of local fruits and vegetables. While many elements in the analysis confirmed the findings of the existing literature, others brought a new understanding of consumers in Vaud. The consumer analysis led to...

High-performance interior point methods : application to power grid problems

Kardoš, Juraj ; Schenk, Olaf (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO003.

A software library for the solution of large-scale structured nonconvex optimization problems is presented in this work, with the purpose of accelerating the solution on single- core, multicore, or massively parallel high-performance distributed memory computing infrastructures. A large class of industrial and engineering problems possesses a particular structure, motivating the development of...

The roles of Language mode and dominance in French-German bilinguals’ motion event descriptions

Stocker, Ladina ; Berthele, Raphael

In: Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2019, p. 1-13

Juggling with structurally and semantically different language systems leads to constructions that differ from the typical patterns in a language. Typical patterns in the domain of motion are characterized by more verbs encoding path in French; and more verbs encoding the manner of motion in German. An increase of manner verbs in French, for instance, can be ascribed to an influence from...
