HL 121 - The resilience of the Electricity System
Modern society is vitally dependent on a reliable supply of electricity and a sustained failure in the electricity system would have dramatic consequences. It would result in a catastrophic failure of communications and of many services on which the country now heavily dependents. It would have an impact on the country's economy and on public safety to a much greater extent than even a decade ago. It would take an improbable concatenation of events to put the lights out nationally. National Grid has tools at its disposal to increase capacity or reduce demand, and the Committee are confident that it has the ability to maintain national electricity supply. The National Grid procured extra capa...
Power System Assets
This CIGRE Green Book describes the state-of-the-art of power Systems asset management dealing with all aspects asset management practice. The major focus of the book is on documenting practical methods that bridge the gap between just satisfying an asset management process and achieving real asset management results in the form of smarter investment decisions. The book facilitates collaboration and blending of the engineering and technical aspects of asset management and the financial considerations needed to support asset investment decisions using risk-based business case analysis. Detailed case studies are included to illustrate generic and specific or customized methods and to demonstrate the application of such methods from the technology perspectives of several CIGRE study committees. This practical guide is suitable for working asset managers and decision-makers (both engineering and financial) dealing with all aspects of the practice of asset management.
Learning from Fukushima
Learning from Fukushima began as a project to respond in a helpful way to the March 2011 triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown) in north-eastern Japan. It evolved into a collaborative and comprehensive investigation of whether nuclear power was a realistic energy option for East Asia, especially for the 10 member-countries of ASEAN, none of which currently has an operational nuclear power plant. We address all the questions that a country must ask in considering the possibility of nuclear power, including cost of construction, staffing, regulation and liability, decommissioning, disposal of nuclear waste, and the impact on climate change. The authors are physicists, engineers, biologists, a public health physician, and international relations specialists. Each author presents the results of their work.
Applied Mathematical Modeling
The practice of modeling is best learned by those armed with fundamental methodologies and exposed to a wide variety of modeling experience. Ideally, this experience could be obtained by working on actual modeling problems. But time constraints often make this difficult. Applied Mathematical Modeling provides a collection of models illustrating the power and richness of the mathematical sciences in supplying insight into the operation of important real-world systems. It fills a gap within modeling texts, focusing on applications across a broad range of disciplines. The first part of the book discusses the general components of the modeling process and highlights the potential of modeling in ...
Operations Research Proceedings 1994
An insight into the latest results from the world of operations research - a wide-ranging field, as is shown by the book's 24 sections, corresponding to the conference program itself. Although problems of a primarily methodological nature are discussed, the emphasis is placed firmly on practical subjects, such as reports from the fields of healthcare, environmental protection, logistics and traffic engineering. This selection also clearly illustrates the extent to which OR is spreading into and already interwoven in other scientific disciplines.
meinefreiheit-deinefreiheit.de
Freiheit – insbesondere gewissenlose Übertreibung von Freiheiten, die sich Firmen oder Politiker nehmen – wird neuerdings differenziert politisch diskutiert. Wir verbinden Freiheit als roten Faden dieses Buchs mit konkreten Vorschlägen für ein solidarischeres und achtsameres Deutschland und Europa, mit mehr Respekt, weniger Lüge und Fake News, besser funktionierender Marktwirtschaft trotz Monopoltendenzen, und fairerer Digitalisierung und Globalisierung. Eine App meinefreiheit-deinefreiheit.de (oder mf-df.de) trägt zur Umsetzung der Vorschläge bei. Das Abflachen des Computerchip-Fortschritts (Moores Gesetz) gibt uns die Chance diese Vorschläge durchzusetzen. Und sie alle passen gut zusammen mit Lehren aus der COVID-19-Krise.
