TL;DR: In this paper, an optimal integration of Distributed Energy Resource (DER) such as Photo-Voltaic Generation System (PVGS), Wind Turbine Generation System(WTGS), and Electric Vehicles (EVs) in supply network simultaneously implemented for motive of abatement of overall power loss, overall cost and emanations dispatched through the thermal generators.
Abstract: In this paper an optimal integration of Distributed Energy Resource (DER) such as Photo-Voltaic Generation System (PVGS), Wind Turbine Generation System (WTGS), and Electric Vehicles (EVs) in supply network simultaneously implemented for motive of abatement of overall power loss, overall cost and emanations dispatched through the thermal generators. To accomplish these planned purposes and profits, we designed a multi-objective function. For optimization of the cost we used artificial bee colony algorithm.

TL;DR: By investigating and analyzing the climatic elements in sustainable architecture in order for amending the energy consumption pattern in buildings, the use of materials’ thermal capacity, solar greenhouse, double walls, and other practical strategies of the article 19 are investigated.
Abstract: Sustainable architecture is a method of designing which reduces the use of nonrenewable resources and optimizes the use of renewable sources and suggests that what we need for survival, can be obtained from the environment and it defines the view about the world by clever and compassionate use of resources and considering the quality of life of future generations. In the leading world it can be said that energy, in fuel sense, means power and stability, and architecture is one of the effective areas in this important section, and stability and security and health of a society depend on that. Understanding the capabilities of energy and saving in energy use in construction has a huge role in urban management. Residential and commercial complex designing with a view to practical and urban climate solutions, not only is not a matter of ornamentation, but also it is a way to respond to our search for providing better safety, comfort, and environment. In this study, by investigating and analyzing the climatic elements in sustainable architecture in order for amending the energy consumption pattern in buildings, we investigate the use of materials’ thermal capacity, solar greenhouse, double walls, and other practical strategies of the article 19. In this study we selected a research area of North Khorasan in order to improve energy consumption pattern by applying the article 19 of National Building Regulations. And all relevant information was collected in a four-month period; then using OUT CAD software, the data was registered, processes, integrates, and analyzed and designed such that all climatic elements in sustainable architecture were considered in designing the studied area and the final design of the optimal pattern of energy consumption in the building was resulted according to the article 19 of National Building Regulations.

TL;DR: Havacılık operasyonlarındaki hataların ve uçuş emniyet riskleri son derece önemli olmasından dolayı, ynetmeliklere ve insana dayalı risklerin kalite yönetimi tarafındaned doğru şekilde ynetilmesi hayati ûnem taşımaktadır as discussed by the authors .
Abstract: Havacılık operasyonlarının sürdürülebilirliği için onaylı havacılık kuruluşlarında kalite yönetimi sisteminin kurulması gereklidir. Kalite yönetim sistemi, ilgili havacılık işletme yönetmeliklerine uygun ve kuruluşun stratejik hedeflerini başarmak için kalite yöneticisi tarafından yürütülmektedir. Havacılık operasyonlarındaki hataların ve uçuş emniyet riskleri son derece önemli olmasından dolayı, yönetmeliklere ve insana dayalı risklerin kalite yönetimi tarafından doğru şekilde yönetilmesi hayati önem taşımaktadır. Kalite yöneticisi, havacılık operasyonlarındaki en küçük hatanın bile ölümcül olabileceği için operasyonel ortamda yasal ve mevzuata dayalı riskleri yönettiği için çok kritik bir göreve sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, havacılık ortamında kalite süreçlerindeki özellikle kalite yöneticisi için öncelikle insan risk faktörleri kategorize edilerek ve bu riskler çoklu karar verme tekniği olan, nitel faktörleri de dikkate alan Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (AHS) yöntemini belirlenen riskler ağırlıklandırılmıştır. Çalışma ile geliştirilen AHS modelinde kalite yöneticisi için araştırılan en önemli risk faktörleri sırasıyla zaman baskısı, yönetim desteği eksikliği ve güncel havacılık mevzuatlarının takip edilmemesi olarak belirlenmiştir. İnsan faktörleri risklerini sıralamak, üst yönetime proaktif bir yaklaşımla ilgili risklerin yönetilmesi için fayda sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada elde edilecek sonuçlar sayesinde kalite süreçlerindeki gelişimin, iyileşmenin ve kalite süreçlerinin kurumun stratejik amaçlarının başarılmasına katkısının büyük olması amaçlanmaktadır.

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.
