Balancing of input parameters #46

Closed oliviervg1 closed 12 years ago

oliviervg1 commented 12 years ago

Currently, most functions return unrealistic data.

We need to focus on balancing the input data as soon as possible!

Current work in Balancing

Using this as a place to store ideas:

The first point of balancing is that we must achieve a drop of 5% year on year. This gives us an idea of how much energy should change year on year, which is a pretty strong change to move forward from. This directly means we can balance GDP changes.

Further to that, realistic data puts GDP spending as around 0.5%, optimistically, on Clean Energy drives. Realistically, different countries dedicate a different amount to clean energy, generally far less. However, since we can invest in industry also, this will do.

So we need to achieve a 0.5% drop per year with 0.5% of GDP.

Monitor Tax / Monitoring Price = Number of Countries monitored. Kinda. Need to find the average GDP of all countries to find the sanction rate.

tumblerer commented 12 years ago

Sanctioning needs to be proportionate to the risk of get caught while cheating and the cost needed to reduce carbon by the 0.5% needed

tumblerer commented 12 years ago

Carbon Reduction and Carbon absorption need to be a comparable cost ideally. The amount to the reduce by should be roughly equal to a proportion of the given money and the energy drop needed per round.

Some calculations: avg ALA : 15% avg DI : 72% avg Drop/y : 10685430 avg GDP : 158788 avg cash : 793.94

tumblerer commented 12 years ago

Avg ALA/CarbonOuput ~ 5500

tumblerer commented 12 years ago

2.6 tonnes of co2 per acre.

0.3846 acres per tonne.

0.0156 km^2 per tonne

For carbon Investment price.

The investment cost > the return for the next few years gained by increasing GDP.

tumblerer commented 12 years ago

Need to look at the cost to achieve an increase of energyOutput by a certain percentage

tumblerer commented 12 years ago

Going to call this done for the moment. Not going to continue working on it unless I get some feedback
