Nuclear Energy in a Sustainable Development Perspective

Towards Sustainable Development of Energy-Aware Systems

Smart devices have pervaded our society and encouraged lifestyles that depend on them. One of the fundamental requirements for a successful dependency is that the general public be aware of the energy limitations of these devices and to stay in control of energy consumption. In this paper, the authors propose a formal specification method that takes energy into account. They propose two develop...

Integrated Design of Dynamic Sustainable Energy Systems

Recent advancements in the development and investigation of integrated methods for the design of dynamic engineering systems have made possible the achievement of new levels of system performance and now support the ability to systematically identify synergy mechanisms that can improve the effectiveness of system design processes at both early and late stages. Significant efforts in the last se...

Considering a Model for Sustainable Energy Planning Under Uncertainty

In this paper, real options theory is utilized to evaluate the effect of uncertain electricity and CO2 costs on speculation conduct. Methodologically, the allegiance of the newspaper in this appreciation is that uncertainty is not just stopped down as far as stochastic processes and their fluctuation, additionally as far as expected and acknowledged procedures, i.e. the procedures, w...
