This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les smart grids sont considérés comme un moyen efficace pour accueillir plus largement des énergies renouvelables, de mieux maitriser la demande, d'améliorer les conditions d'exploitation du système électrique, d'augmenter sa performance et de faciliter le développement des nouveaux usages tels que le véhicule électrique. Cependant, ces bénéfices potentiels du smart grid sont également porteurs d'incertitudes pour le système électrique ainsi que pour ses acteurs. Ces incertitudes sont de nature technologique, économique, sociale, politique, entre autres.La thèse s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet GreenLys (un démonstrateur smart grid adressant des innovations allant du producteur d'énergie jusqu'au consommateur en incluant les acteurs du réseau électrique de transport et de distribution). Elle a pour objectif de proposer des paliers techniques et économiques de transition vers le smart grid à l'horizon 2050.Dans la perspective de cette thèse, trois incertitudes qui peuvent influencer considérablement les stratégies des investissements futurs sont traitées dans trois modèles séparés. Les trois modèles sont appliqués aux scénarios de GreenLys (un scénario conservateur 'Grenelle' qui respecte les engagements énergétiques européens et un scénario plus ambitieux '100% EnR' qui vise une production électrique totalement renouvelable) pour proposer des paliers d'investissements smart grid et des recommandations. Premièrement, l'incertitude portant sur la régulation du réseau public de distribution est étudiée dans un modèle utilisant une approche d'options réelles combiné avec un algorithme logique floue. Deuxièmement, une approche d'options réelles basée sur un arbre binomial classique est utilisée pour analyser l'incertitude sur l'évolution du gisement de flexibilité. Enfin, l'incertitude portant sur les coûts systèmes d'informations est modélisée dans un algorithme basé sur un processus de Monte-Carlo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis plus d'une décennie, le domaine des réseaux énergétiques intelligents, ou smartgrids, apparaît chaque jour plus prometteur pour assurer une réponse durable à nos besoins en énergies, en France comme dans le monde. Les progrès technologiques incessants en matière de production, d'acheminement, de stockage et de gestion des énergies ouvrent constamment de nouvelles perspectives. Pourtant, les évolutions nécessaires à l'indispensable performance énergétique durable de nos villes et territoires peinent aujourd'hui à prendre pied dans notre paysage économique, réglementaire, sociétal. La généralisation des smartgrids pourrait-elle être un moyen puissant de réaliser les transitions énergétique et environnementale vitales pour l'avenir de nos sociétés, tout en assurant nos emplois de demain ? Quels sont aujourd'hui les enjeux, les bénéfices et les freins au développement des smartgrids ? Sur la base d'exemples ciblés et récents, cet ouvrage apporte au lecteur des analyses et des propositions inscrites dans le contexte actuel et donc une vision transverse des enjeux complexes de la future gouvernance énergétique de nos territoires.

Download or read book Sustainable Production System written by Clément Morlat and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wealth is no longer just an ability to live well in a world shaped by human activities. It is also an ability to push back or defer the limits of a world in biological and climatic closure. This book examines the theoretical conflicts and the power plays which often oppose the socio-political and technical-financial practices of recognition of what intervenes in the production of this wealth – i.e. of what has value. It lays down the principles of a contributory modeling method, allowing debates around the concept of development; the building of scenarios; the negotiation of their implementation; and a cross-sectoral reading of their social, ecological and economic costs. This method, called Dynamic Modeling of Cost Systems, is based on a territorial communication device which articulates political, contractual and accounting innovations using deliberative and normative digital tools. It combines different local representations of value, in order to approach wealth through an integrated analysis of micro-, meso- and macro- issues.

Download or read book Electricity Network Regulation in the EU written by Leonardo Meeus and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK model of incentive regulation of power grids was at one time the most advanced, and elements of it were adopted throughout the EU. This model worked well, particularly in the context of limited investment and innovation, a single and strong regulatory authority, and limited coordination between foreign grid operators. This enlightening book shows that since 2010 the whole context has changed and regulation has had to catch-up and evolve. The EU is entering a wave of investment, and an era of new services and innovation which has created growing tensions between national regulatory authorities in terms of coordinating technical standards and distribution systems. This is being played out against an increasingly disruptive backdrop of digitzation, new market platforms and novel business models.
Download or read book Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives written by Ali Emadi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 909 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially, the only electric loads encountered in an automobile were for lighting and the starter motor. Today, demands on performance, safety, emissions, comfort, convenience, entertainment, and communications have seen the working-in of seemingly innumerable advanced electronic devices. Consequently, vehicle electric systems require larger capacities and more complex configurations to deal with these demands. Covering applications in conventional, hybrid-electric, and electric vehicles, the Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives provides a comprehensive reference for automotive electrical systems. This authoritative handbook features contributions from an outstanding international panel of experts from industry and academia, highlighting existing and emerging technologies. Divided into five parts, the Handbook of Automotive Power Electronics and Motor Drives offers an overview of automotive power systems, discusses semiconductor devices, sensors, and other components, explains different power electronic converters, examines electric machines and associated drives, and details various advanced electrical loads as well as battery technology for automobile applications. As we seek to answer the call for safer, more efficient, and lower-emission vehicles from regulators and consumer insistence on better performance, comfort, and entertainment, the technologies outlined in this book are vital for engineering advanced vehicles that will satisfy these criteria.

Download or read book Decarbonizing Development written by Marianne Fay and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science is unequivocal: stabilizing climate change implies bringing net carbon emissions to zero. This must be done by 2100 if we are to keep climate change anywhere near the 2oC warming that world leaders have set as the maximum acceptable limit. Decarbonizing Development: Three Steps to a Zero-Carbon Future looks at what it would take to decarbonize the world economy by 2100 in a way that is compatible with countries' broader development goals. Here is what needs to be done: -Act early with an eye on the end-goal. To best achieve a given reduction in emissions in 2030 depends on whether this is the final target or a step towards zero net emissions. -Go beyond prices with a policy package that triggers changes in investment patterns, technologies and behaviors. Carbon pricing is necessary for an efficient transition toward decarbonization. It is an efficient way to raise revenue, which can be used to support poverty reduction or reduce other taxes. Policymakers need to adopt measures that trigger the required changes in investment patterns, behaviors, and technologies - and if carbon pricing is temporarily impossible, use these measures as a substitute. -Mind the political economy and smooth the transition for those who stand to be most affected. Reforms live or die based on the political economy. A climate policy package must be attractive to a majority of voters and avoid impacts that appear unfair or are concentrated on a region, sector or community. Reforms have to smooth the transition for those who stand to be affected, by protecting vulnerable people but also sometimes compensating powerful lobbies.

Download or read book At the Speed of Light written by Susanne Nies and published by Gouvernance Europeenne Et Geop. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity interconnections is a prominent issue in the news, and is sometimes even featured as a panacea for the shortcomings of the European electricity market a panacea that would ensure energy supply and security and pave the way for a promising use of renewables in the future. This report is devoted to electricity interconnections in Europe, their current state, and the projects concerning them. In line with IFRI's focus on international relations and geopolitics, the author concentrates on the geopolitics and governance of interconnections. Prominent projects as such as Desertec, the debate on DC or AC lines, and the limits of synchronization, as well as the state of a potential East West electricity linkage between the former Soviet Union and the EU, termed UCTE-UPS/IPS, are discussed. The Study finishes with recommendations for policy makers."
