This edited book looks at recent studies on interdisciplinary research related to exergy, energy, and the environment. This topic is of prime significance - there is a strong need for practical ...solutions through better design, analysis and assessment in order to achieve better efficiency, environment and sustainability. Exergetic, Energetic and Environmental Dimensions covers a number of topics ranging from thermodynamic optimization of energy systems, to the environmental impact assessment and clean energy, offering readers a comprehensive reference on analysis, modeling, development, experimental investigation, and improvement of many micro to macro systems and applications, ranging from basic to advanced categories. Its comprehensive content includes: Comprehensive coverage of development of systems considering exergy, energy, and environmental issues, along with the most up-to-date information in the area, plus recent developmentsNew developments in the area of exergy, including recent debate involving the shaping of future directions and priorities for better environment, sustainable development and energy securityProvides a number of illustrative examples, practical applications, and case studiesIntroduces recently developed technological and strategic solutions and engineering applications for professionals in the areaProvides numerous engineering examples and applications on exergyOffers a variety of problems that foster critical thinking and skill development
Článek se zabývá využitím energie větru jako obnovitelného zdroje elektrické energie získaného prostřednictvím větrných elektráren, možnosti jejich připojení, provozu se sítěmi PDS. Důraz je kladen ...především na zpětné vlivy v síti PDS, pro jejichž posuzování bude použit program E-vlivy fy EGC - EnerGoConsult ČB, s.r.o. Výsledky simulací jsou porovnány s manuálními výpočty a změřenými parametry kvality elektrické energie.
Emerging Techniques in Power System Analysis' identifies the new challenges facing the power industry following the deregulation. The book presents emerging techniques including data mining, grid ...computing, probabilistic methods, phasor measurement unit (PMU) and how to apply those techniques to solving the technical challenges. The book is intended for engineers and managers in the power industry, as well as power engineering researchers and graduate students. Zhaoyang Dong is an associate professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China. Pei Zhang is program manager at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), USA.
Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques are particularly suitable for Energy and Environment (E&E) decisions due to multiple criteria nature of these types of problems and they have ...been widely applied in this area. Main points that can be taken into consideration when examining the MCDA literature related to E&E are the selection of appropriate method, selection of criteria to be used and the widely distributed application areas. The motivation behind this study is designing such a Decision Support System (DSS) that enables the energy decision makers to perform analysis using different methods of MCDA and different criteria from various application areas and test the applicability of the system through an application in Turkish Energy Sector. The system includes several methods of MCDA and common parameters from previous studies in order to provide different approaches of evaluating decision problems. With this feature, the system stands on the intersection of MCDA and E&E fields. Moreover, an application of MCDA in Turkish Energy Sector has been performed to test the applicability of the system and some conclusions about electricity distribution in Turkey are put forth.
