  • Abstract
    An optimal control model is established for the alternative energy investment strategy with the objective function of cumulative net social welfare. The investment rate is constrained by an inequality. Cumulative alternative energy production has an impact on cost and world oil price through supply on oil market. The interdependency of cost and oil price on optimal investment rate makes the problem inherently dynamic and is fully investigated. In some special cases, the optimal solution can be derived, while in general it oscillates between zero and maximal allowed value.
