process, in contrast to passive energy harvesting or scavenging opportunity. Note that it is possible to refill regular commercial and military planes in the air, but no research has been done on relatively low-cost UAVs. The possibility of energy transfer and refill also brings various scheduling...
Cost of Energy Boosts Budget for Fire District ; Board to Adopt Spending Plan This WeekRising energy costs have caught the attention of the board of directors of the Boone County Fire Protection District as it prepares to approve a $3.5 million budget for 2009. The proposed budget includes a...
In this planning problem, objectives usually include environmental benefits [21] (e.g. carbon emission mitigation), economic efficiencies [22] (the investment cost plus the operation cost) or both. The planning variables contain whether or not to build energy delivery paths (like pipelines, ...
Cost degression in photovoltaics, wind-power and battery storage has been faster than previously anticipated. In the future, climate policy to limit global warming to 1.5–2 °C will make carbon-based fuels increasingly scarce and expensive. Here we show that further progress in solar- and win...

If you have the budget to upgrade your appliances, you will save so much money! Smart fridges and kitchen appliances come in energy-efficient varieties, which is what we recommend. Smart refrigerators work by using less power during peak times. ...
Solar desalination is a new and cost-effective technology to remove salt and other minerals from water for daily life applications. The technology desalinates brackish water or seawater either using solar distillation or an indirect method whilst converting the solar energy into heat or electricity [...
Delaying the energy transition could lead to a costly and disorderly adjustment pathway Beyond a certain point, the cost and disruption associated with meeting a 2°C carbon budget is likely to increase the longer the shift to a faster decarbonization pathway is delayed. TheDelayed and Disorderlysc...
2 Method We define an “energy system” as the process chain (or a subset of it) from the extraction of primary energy to the use of final energy to supply services and goods (i.e., the definition given in [8]). In other words, an energy system encompasses the “combined processes ...
