DOWNLOAD EBOOKPower System Operation and Planning under Uncertainty provides the mathematical models and tools needed to plan and operate future power systems. It discusses the challenging task of the integration of a high penetration of renewable energies and electric vehicles within existing power systems. This book explores the uncertainty faced by power systems that is associated with the evolution of capital costs, technical developments of immature renewable technologies and energy storage systems, the number of electrical vehicles, and the participation of electricity end users in demand response programs. It helps provide solutions, and points to areas of further research that will help resolve. The models, tools and techniques described in this book are of interest for researches of energy systems, professionals working as power system planners or operators, and for graduate students in power engineering and operations research.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIntegrative planning in supply chains is an essential field in logistics management. But still there are open questions especially in a long-term perspective: In order to align strategic decisions of several supply chain partners an integrated long-term demand planning process is necessary but in many industries sill mission. This would enable companies for example to co-ordinate their long-term investments in production facilities as well as transport and storage capacities and therefore increase overall efficiency in supply chains. This edition gives a very good outline about the basic problem, providing further an innovative stepwise approach to solve the integrated planning problem. The concept is matched with the business case 'BP' as a typical company and industry with influential long-term changes ahead. By this business example implementation the real life value of such planning instruments can be shown. This will motivate many companies and industries to transfer the concept to their specific environments in order to further optimize their supply chains in the future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBrunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines need to bolster cooperation in their special economic zones (SEZ) to spur sustainable growth. This publication maps out and assesses the economic performance of SEZs across the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area. It highlights challenges they face including growing competition for foreign investment, international trade disputes, and digital transformation. The publication emphasizes the need for policy makers and stakeholders to intensify strategic collaboration to make their SEZs more competitive. Against the backdrop of COVID-19, it outlines practical steps to increase the role of SEZs in boosting trade, creating jobs, and building economic resilience across the four countries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents over 40 cases of bamboo development across 22 major bamboo-industry countries and explores the knowledge gained from their successes and failures. It synthesises experiences and exchanges with country experts from international training courses and consultations, study tours, and seminars. Each case includes observations and summaries of discussions related to the development of bamboo-based industries in a healthy, sustainable way, and the facilitation of strategic and balanced development of bamboo in different global regions. Industrial and artisanal bamboo growing and processing is expanding worldwide and this book brings together key experiences to help inform future developments. This book provides an analysis of bamboo plant features, including strong renewability, fast-growing, and high biomass production. It also reviews important ecological functions of bamboos, such as water and soil conservation, carbon sink and storage, and adaptation to climate change, as well as addressing the diversified culture of bamboo and key issues affecting the sector. Highly illustrated and in full colour throughout, this book is an essential resource for all those interested in bamboo, from private sector investors to governmental and development agencies, academic researchers and students.

Transport Models in Urban Planning Practices

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores how transportation models can play a role in a changing transport planning and policy making context. Most models are rooted in decades of development work and are geared to offer value-free, academic and explicit knowledge to transport planning experts. However, planning practice has changed dramatically over the years, resulting in a less technical rational view on the use of such knowledge – especially so in early, strategy making phases. More and more complex policy goals, integration of a wide area of other policy domains, a wider, ever-changing and much more mixed group of planning participants and much more focus on ‘wicked problems’. The book maps how this influences the effectiveness of transport modelling exercises and explores several state-of-the-art implementations. This book was published as a special issue of Transport Reviews.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKClimate change is a global problem, but the problem begins locally. Cities consume 75% of the world's energy and emit 80% of the world's greenhouse gases. Changing the way we build and operate our cities can have major effects on greenhouse gas emissions. Fortunately, communities across the U.S. are responding to the climate change problem by making plans that assess their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and specify actions they will take to reduce these emissions. This is the first book designed to help planners, municipal staff and officials, citizens and others working at local levels to develop Climate Action Plans. CAPs are strategic plans that establish policies and programs for mitigating a community's greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. They typically focus on transportation, energy use, and solid waste, and often differentiate between community-wide actions and municipal agency actions. CAPs are usually based on GHG emissions inventories, which indentify the sources of emissions from the community and quantify the amounts. Additionally, many CAPs include a section addressing adaptation-how the community will respond to the impacts of climate change on the community, such as increased flooding, extended drought, or sea level rise. With examples drawn from actual plans, Local Climate Action Planning guides preparers of CAPs through the entire plan development process, identifying the key considerations and choices that must be made in order to assure that a plan is both workable and effective.
