Measuring and modeling energy resilience

Energy Resilience Modeling for Smart Houses

The use of renewable energy in houses and neighbourhoods is very much governed by national legislation and has recently led to enormous changes in the energy market and poses a serious threat to the stability of the grid at peak production times. One of the approaches towards a more balanced grid is, e.g., taken by the German government by subsidizing local storage for solar power. While the ma...

Measuring the Resilience of Gardens in Yazd

Over the past decades, the horizontal growth of cities has led to the integration of rural-garden areas within the parent city. This phenomenon is more serious in the arid areas of Iran because of the limited networks of water supply (Qanat) and the proximity of settlements around this network and has caused the destruction of the gardens of these urban textures that are rural-based. This resea...

Cross-Layer Modeling Framework for Energy-Efficient Resilience

We describe a novel cross-layer, resiliencefocused integrated modeling framework. This is targeted to help define ultra energy-efficient embedded systems in the post-14nm CMOS design era, without compromising system-level resilience. The targeted application domain is represented by the suite of applications and kernels announced as part of the ongoing PERFECT program sponsored by DARPA MTO.

Measuring Resilience in a Risky World

INTRODUCTION Much of the world’s chronically poor and malnourished population lives in an increasingly volatile world. The dangerous nexus of climate change, rapid population growth, conflict, and economic stagnation has already pushed several poor regions into states of permanent crisis, even as the rest of the world has enjoyed unprecedented progress against poverty. This disturbing state of ...
