Network Theory Integrated Life Cycle Assessment for an Electric Power System

Network Theory Integrated Life Cycle Assessment for an Electric Power System

In this study, we allocate Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of electricity transmission to the consumers. As an allocation basis, we introduce energy distance. Energy distance takes the transmission load on the electricity energy system into account in addition to the amount of electricity consumption. As a case study, we estimate regional GHG emissions of electricity transmission loss in Chile. ...

An integrated life cycle assessment and life cycle analysis model for pavement overlay systems

Pavement systems have significant impacts on the environment and economy due to large material consumption, energy input, and capital investment. To evaluate the sustainability of rigid pavement overlay designs, an integrated life cycle assessment and life cycle cost analysis model was developed to calculate the environmental impacts and costs of overlay systems resulting from material producti...

An Integrated Approach for Measuring Performance of Network structure: Case study on power plants

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and balanced scorecard (BSC) are two well-known approaches for measuring performance of decision making units (DMUs). BSC is especially applied with quality measures, whereas, when the quantity measures are used to evaluate, DEA is more appropriate. In the real-world, DMUs usually have complex structures such as network structures. One of the well-known network s...

Security Monitoring and Assessment of an Electric Power System

Proposed Probabilistic Load Flow (PLF) approach, based on the method of cumulants, is used for bus voltage security assessment. The work accurately estimates the unknown probability distribution and density function of the involved complex random variables (CRV’s). With the help of these distributions a fast and accurate contingency ranking for security assessment is made possible. The advantag...
