TL;DR: In this paper, the Water Resources Carrying Capacity (WRCC) model was proposed to analyze the current situations of water resource in China and the relationship between supply and demand of water resources.
Abstract: Though more than 70 percent of the earth space is covered by ocean, only no more than 25 percent of the freshwater is available for the daily life of human beings However, as the country who owns the biggest population in the world, China's per- capita average of freshwater resources amounts to only quarter of the world's By analyzing the relationship between supply and demand of water resource, we build the Water Resources Carrying Capacity (WRCC) model and analyze the current situations of water resource in China

TL;DR: This research process developed a perception of the future tasks based on a framework known as Strategies to Task, incorporated Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to develop metrics for the various modernization projects, and used an Integer Goal Programming Model to perform the capital budgeting.
Abstract: A DECISION SUPPORT MODEL FOR LARGE SYSTEMS USING QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT AND GOAL PROGRAMMING: A CAPITAL BUDGETING PROBLEM Kenneth Lindsey, Jr. Old Dominion University, 1996 Director Dr. Derya A. Jacobs Effective planning for the modernization of U.S. Air Force fighter aircraft requires a perception of the future tasks these aircraft will be called upon to perform, and the improvements and modifications that will be required to successfully accomplish those tasks. A great deal of research has been done in the areas of military strategy, quality function deployment, capital budgeting, and goal programming, as separate areas of study. This thesis details the research and analysis performed for a project called The Fighter Configuration Plan (FICOP), in which these areas were integrated in a decision support model to aid the Air Force in modernization planning. The unique modernization planning approach developed through this analysis has fundamentally changed the way the Air Force plans for modernizing fighters. This research process developed a perception of the future tasks based on a framework known as Strategies to Task (STT), incorporated Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to develop metrics for the various modernization projects, and used an Integer Goal Programming Model to perform the capital budgeting. This decision support model was applied to the problem of developing long-term modernization plans for each of the existing fighter aircraft (F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-15 Eagle, F-l 17 Nighthawk and A-10 Thunderbolt II).

TL;DR: GA provides a better optimization of cost function as compared to the simulated Annealing and simplex method in the present model, and appropriate choice of optimization method is necessary.
Abstract: In the present work, the electrification of the rural community by using renewable energy-based proposed for a microgrid providing energy to a remote cluster of villages in Uttarakhand (India) examined. Two categories of optimization techniques tried, namely, Linear programming (simplex) and Nonlinear programming using Simulated Annealing(SA) and Genetic algorithm (GA). The microgrid energy system studied consists of locally available resources such as a solar photovoltaic system, wind energy system micro-hydro system, and biogas and biomass energy system. The motive of the modeling is to optimize the total cost of energy under different constraints. Further, evaluation under intermittency and uncertainty in the supply of renewable energy resources also considered. It contributes to the investigation of several microgrid sub-models. The findings of the study indicate for the electrification of the rural community proper planning of model, and appropriate choice of optimization method is necessary. In the present model, GA provides a better optimization of cost function as compared to the simulated Annealing and simplex method.

TL;DR: A hierarchical decision modeling framework for energy efficiency program planning in electric utilities is introduced to bridge the gap between technology screening and cost/benefit evaluation practices and is expected to identify emerging technology alternatives which have the highest potential to pass cost/ benefit ratio testing procedures.
Abstract: This paper introduces a hierarchical decision modeling framework for energy efficiency program planning in electric utilities. The proposed approach focuses on assessment of emerging energy efficiency technologies and is proposed to bridge the gap between technology screening and cost/benefit evaluation practices. The proposed approach is expected to identify emerging technology alternatives, which have the highest potential to pass cost/benefit ratio testing procedures, and contribute to effectiveness of decision practices in energy efficiency program planning. Proposed framework also incorporates a rank order analysis for testing the robustness of results from different stakeholder perspectives in an attempt to enable more informed decision making practices. Proposed framework was applied for the case of Northwest U.S., results of the case application and future research initiatives are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a team of members from Brazil Sweden India and the US have conducted an energy analysis which focused on energy demand rather than energy supply and found that a mean 1.3 kilowatts/person could support the living standard present in western Europe in the late 1980s.
Abstract: A team of members from Brazil Sweden India and the US have conducted an energy analysis which focused on energy demand rather than energy supply. This end-use analysis is entitled the End Use Global Energy Project (EUGEP). The EUGEP global energy scenario for 2020 indicates a per capita energy use in industrialized countries of almost 50% lower than what it was in 1980 (3.2 kilowatts/person vs. 6.3 kilowatts/person). The scenario assumes a widespread shift from the inefficient noncommercial fuels to modern energy technologies in high efficiency applications. Other assumptions include limited growth in nuclear power a balanced energy supply mix and limits in use of fossil fuels especially coal. It finds that a mean 1.3 kilowatts/person could support the living standard present in western Europe in the late 1980s. The EUGEP scenario depicts a society in which global energy use is only 10% higher than it was in the late 1980s despite an increase in the population to 7 billions people compared with an increase of over 100% for conventional projections. This energy analysis serves only as an illustration of the technically possible. It communicates to policymakers that they have a choice. The analysts present case studies from Sweden and the US. They also address global energy and use as it applies in developing countries and market-oriented countries.
