Michaelis, Peter. "Reducing resource consumption in the UK steel sector : an exergy analysis." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1998. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/842698/.

Abstract:
This study has investigated the use of exergy analysis when applied to the UK steel sector. The aim has been twofold: to assess whether exergy analysis provides greater insight into physical processes at this level than conventional thermodynamic analyses; and whether it can be used to identify ways that this sector has reduced its impact on the environment in the past, and how this might continue in the future. An overview of the issues surrounding resource consumption and waste generation and their relationship to the steel sector are given [Chapter 1]. The theory behind exergy analysis is t

In September 2011, the UN General Secretary declared his vision of making modern energy accessible to all by 2030. Unfortunately, less than 50% of the population of Sub-Saharan Africa have access to modern forms of energy. This implies that Africa requires sustained investment in the energy sector. In order to provide investment guide and policy recommendations, this thesis seeks to investigate the determinants of renewable energy, energy efficiency practices and natural gas demand in oil producing African countries. The choice of these types of fuel is dictated by the fact that, renewable ene

In this thesis, a resource allocation problem in OFDMA is studied for the energy efficiency of wireless network. The objective is to minimize the total energy consumption which includes transmission energy consumption, and circuit energy consumption at both transmitter and receiver with required per user’s rate constraint. For problem solution, a heuristic algorithm with low computational complexity and suboptimal solution is proposed, developed in two steps with an increasing order of complexity. Besides, a bounding scheme based on model linearization of formulated nonlinear system model is a

From the earliest and simplest scalar computation engines to modern superscalar out-of-order processors, the evolution of computational machinery during the past century has largely been driven by a single goal: performance.

Each year, for example, China needs to install as much as 10,000 MW of new electricity generation capacity, which equals the curent capacity of Netherlands.

The main objective of the thesis is to seek insights into the theory, and provide empirical evidence of rebound effects. Rebound effects reduce the environmental benefits of environmental policies and household behaviour changes. In particular, win-win demand side measures, in the form of energy efficiency and household consumption pattern changes, are seen as ways for households and businesses to save money and the environment. However, these savings have environmental impacts when spent, which are known as rebound effects. This is an area that has been widely neglected by policy makers.

Abstract:
The degradation of natural resources as a result of consumption to support the economic growth of humans society represents one of the greatest sustainability challenges. In order to allow economic growth to continue in a sustainable way, it has to be decoupled from the consumption and destruction of natural resources. This thesis focuses on an innovative manufacturing technology called additive manufacturing (AM) and its potential to become a more efficient and cleaner manufacturing alternative. The thesis also investigates the benefits of accessing the technology through the result-oriented

Abstract:
As mobile devices are nowadays used regularly and everywhere, their energy consumption has become a central concern for their users. However, mobile applications often do not consider energy requirements and users have to install and try them to reveal information on their energy behavior. In this paper, we compare mobile applications from two domains and show that applications reveal different energy consumption while providing similar services. We define microbenchmarks for emailing and web browsing and evaluate applications from these domains. We show that non-functional features such as we

Abstract:
The use of satellite altimeter data for spatial mapping of the wave resource is examined. A new algorithm for estimating wave period from altimeter data is developed and validated, which enables estimates of wave energy converter (WEC) power to be derived. Maps of the long-term mean WEC power from altimeter data are of a higher spatial resolution than is available from global wave model data. They can be used for identifying promising wave energy locations along particular stretches of coastline, before a detailed study using nearshore models is undertaken. The accuracy of estimates of WEC pow

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur le phénomène de vulnérabilité qui fait référence à une situation de pauvreté potentielle dans laquelle un consommateur peut se retrouver à tout moment de sa vie lorsqu’il est confronté à différents aléas (Baker, Gentry, Rittenburg, 2005). Le profil des consommateurs vulné-rables est difficilement appréhendable par une simple catégorisation tant les dimensions de la vulné-rabilité sont multiples. Nous nous intéressons dans cette recherche à cette frange de consommateurs encore méconnue qui se retrouve dans l’obligation de développer des stratégies coping (Hamilton, Cattera
