information system institute
IWI, Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik of the Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, is an interdisciplinary research institution encompassing Information Systems, Business Administration, Finance, and Operations Research. IWI’s specific research interest focuses on financing and risk management of renewable energy investments which benefits greatly from close collaboration with researchers and practitioners of ForWind, HCF e.V, and LIFE 2050. Researchers at IWI have applied DNPV to evaluate renewable energy investments and developed an advanced web-based decision support system for investors and developers of renewable energy projects: Investment and Risk Management Information System for Renewable Energies (IRIS-RE). IRIS-RE users can evaluate the profitability, financial viability, and risk-bearing capacity of renewable energy investments. The researchers are currently seeking to implement DNPV in the IRIS-RE platform to estimate levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for renewable energies. Another research project of IWI will focus on the use of DNPV as an alternative to the Long-Term Asset Value (LTAV) technique in the context of vessel financing.
