Abstract:

The development of future smart electricity grids is driven by efficiency and climate targets and economic benefit for producers, retailers and customers on the deregulated electricity market. Since most investments will be made by grid owners acting as regulated monopolies, it is unclear how they will get return on their investments. Can demand response programs create cost reductions for the grid owner that help motivate the investment in smart grids? Two cases of cost reduction opportunities are evaluated assuming that peak loads are reduced by a demand response program: optimization of cab

Abstract:

Recently, more and more disputations about how demand response should be compensated have arisen. Moreover, the court is about to rehear the Order 745. It probably will have significant impact on the whole working system used to be built for demand response before. Nowadays, some power companies and utilities think that they will endure profits leakage while demand response resources still are compensated. In this research, knowledge of demand response, local marginal price, Order 745 and other related concept will be explained in detail in case of misunderstanding. Associated with all these k

Abstract:

Long-term care (LTC) includes the range of health, social and voluntary support services provided to those with chronic illness, physical or mental disability. LTC has been widely studied in the literature, in particular due to concerns surrounding how future demographic shifts may impact the LTC system’s ability to cater to increasing amounts of patients not withstanding what the future cost impact might be. With that said, few studies have attempted to model demand at the local level for the purposes of informing local service delivery and organisation. Many developing countries with mature

Abstract:

It is observed that transit riders are responding to service changes while transit planning is responding to ridership changes, or that transit patronage and service supply are highly interrelated. It is also noticed that transit riders transfer from route to route, the introduction of new service may draw some riders from the existing routes, which implies transit patronage on a route is also affected by other parallel and intersecting routes. An analytic tool is needed to examine these complex relationships in the transit system. This study has developed a quantitative model by incorporating

Currently, the only form of demand-capacity balancing we allow is ground holding, that is the changing of the take-off times of not yet airborne flights. Experiments with projecte

Abstract:

In a developing country such as India, 44% of the population does not have access to power and for many others, the power supply is unreliable. A nanogrid, defined as “a single domain for voltage, reliability and administration”, is a possible solution to distribute power to such off-grid areas. Built from the bottom up, nanogrids have the ability to function independently, using locally generated power (such as solar power) as the power source. Such grids enable residents to lead more productive lives, with improved access to power. This thesis designs a new communication protocol for nanogri

The damage occurred during recent earthquakes in many existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings designed before the introduction of modern anti-seismic codes has shown that these structures are very vulnerable to the seismic action due to their reduced ductility capacity.

Abstract:

Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is a critical input to many transportation analyses. By definition, AADT is the average 24-hour volume at a highway location over a full year. Traditionally, AADT is estimated using a mix of permanent and temporary traffic counts. Because field collection of traffic counts is expensive, it is usually done for only the major roads, thus leaving most of the local roads without any AADT information. However, AADTs are needed for local roads for many applications. For example, AADTs are used by state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to calculate the crash ra

We model the VRPSD and the VRPSDL as large-scale Markov decision processes. We develop cyclic-order neighborhoods, a general methodology for solving a broad class of VRPs, and use this techniq

Abstract:

The world is becoming urbanised. Between 1995 and 2025, it is estimated that the cities and towns of the developing world will have absorbed another two billion people. A majority of these people will be poor and settle down in the unregulated areas. It is therefore fair to say that the management and use of water in urban areas is a very complex and dynamic issue. The fact that cities in the South are composed of two systems, the regulated and the unregulated areas, and that considerable diversity exists between them, highlights the need for a context driven policy design in urban water manag

Abstract:

In this thesis, we study three supply chain planning problems. The first two problems fall in the tactical planning level, while the third one falls in the strategic/tactical level. We present a direct application for the first two planning problems in the wind turbines industry. For the third problem, we show how it can be applied to supply chains in the food industry. Many countries and localities have the explicitly stated goal of increasing the fraction of their electrical power that is generated by wind turbines. This has led to a rapid growth in the manufacturing and installation of wind

Abstract:

Les collectivités territoriales s'affichent comme des acteurs majeurs du secteur énergétique.Cependant, leur relation est empreinte d'une certaine ambiguïté du fait du caractère éminemmentstratégique du second. S'il apparaît qu'au début du XXe siècle les collectivités territoriales assumaient,à travers la distribution d'énergie, un véritable service public local, la réalité d'un tel caractère estaujourd'hui contestable. La nationalisation de 1946 a en effet eu pour conséquence de remettreprofondément en cause l'exercice de cette compétence, lui faisant perdre son caractère effectivementlocal.

Abstract:

Cette thèse questionne la façon dont les exigences de la demande de produits écoresponsables peuvent influencer la configuration de la distribution de l'approvisionnement alimentaire. En d’autres termes, elle interroge la configuration des systèmes alimentaires urbains pour satisfaire une demande de produits alimentaires écoresponsables. Par conséquent, son objectif est d'explorer comment estimer la relation entre une demande écoresponsable et une configuration de distribution alimentaire en tenant compte des enjeux économiques et environnementaux.

Abstract:

Les territoires ruraux disposent du principal gisement d’énergie renouvelable en France. Les réseaux énergétiques y sont moins denses que dans les zones urbaines et certains vecteurs, tels que le gaz, en sont souvent absents. Or, alors que les systèmes énergétiques urbains ont été abondamment étudiés, les spécificités de la demande énergétique rurale restent méconnues, notamment dans le secteur résidentiel. Des travaux récents mettent en avant les enjeux liés à la décentralisation du système énergétique français et le besoin d’une connaissance fine de l’offre et de la demande, tant sur le plan

Abstract:

Aggregators targeting smaller customers, and their possibility to alleviate grid congestions through local flexibility markets, is a new concept in Sweden. The study’s purpose consisted of four main objectives. Investigate SthlmFlex and compare it to two other European flexibility markets. Explore the institutional, technical, financial and social considerations of an aggregator in Sweden. Identify barriers for the aggregators considerations as well as market barriers for SthlmFlex. Lastly, estimate the potential of aggregated demand side flexibility from heat pumps and electric vehicles in si

Abstract:

This study is an investigation into water management policies in South Africa, their effect on water users and the perceptions users have of these policies. The investigation begins with an exposition of concepts such as water demand management (WDM), as well as integrated water resource management (IWRM). A sub-discourse of the main theme is the societal tendency to neglect its common property. Garret Hardin's groundbreaking observations on the "tragedy of the commons" (1968) are explored in an effort to locate issues of relevance in effective water management strategies.
