Abstract: Half of the gas power plants in Guangdong in the Pearl River Delta of China have high retrofit potential. We implement a detailed case study of retrofitting an existing CCGT power plant located on Daya Bay in Huizhou city in Guangdong. Using a GIS (geographical information system) base analysis, all three power plants demonstrate credible routes to transport CO2 to the Pearl River Basin for storage in a sub-seabed saline formation. The plant consists of two 400 MW units (9F turbine), running as a mid-merit plant. We also investigate the economics of retrofitting using a static analysis of the levelised cost of electricity and the cost of CO2 avoidance. In addition, we apply a stochastic cash flow model to identify the retrofitting option value in CCGT power plants. The value of the retrofit option for CCGT is found to be relatively low compared with that in large coal-fired power plants. However, a moderate investment in CCS ready in CCGT power plants can be justified in order to keep

Abstract: Scientific collaboration is a popular issue in the literature on knowledge production. Although previous studies show that scientific teamwork becomes dominant and is related to the impact of scientific results,empirical results of this research reveal that collaboration itself is not “the almighty” for quality research. This study finds the following three stylized facts. First, Korean universities’ collaborative research with other domestic schools increases dramatically among four authorship structures (international collaboration, between-school collaboration, within-school collaboration, and solo a.k.a. no collaboration). Second, we affirmed the advantage of collaborative research but it varies among the type of collaboration. For example, the between-school collaboration is not better option than the within-school collaboration for the elite universities. Third, Korean elite schools consolidate their academic status by using international scientific collaboration. The elite unive
