A safety investment optimization model for power grid enterprises based on System Dynamics and Bayesian network theory

In recent years, frequent large-scale power grid accidents have caused serious economic losses and bad social impact, which has drawn great attention from power grid enterprises. As one of the key elements of production, safety investment plays an important role in improving the safety level and reducing accident loss. In this paper, System...

An inter-city energy migration framework for regional energy balance through daily commuting fuel-cell vehicles

Spatiotemporal energy interaction and sharing are promising solutions to penetrate renewable energy, enhance grid power stability, and improve regional energy flexibility. However, the current literature is restrained in a small-scale neighborhood level, without considering inter-city energy migration through spatiotemporal complementarity...

Fostering Ambidextrous Innovation Strategies in Large Infrastructure Projects: A Team Heterogeneity Perspective

In emerging economies, infrastructure projects are in full swing. There is a wealth of replicable experience for exploitation. Simultaneously, more technologies and methodologies require further exploration. This makes fostering ambidextrous innovation strategies (i.e., the tradeoff between exploitative and exploratory innovation strategies) a...

Transformation towards a carbon-neutral residential community with hydrogen economy and advanced energy management strategies

Cleaner power production, distributed renewable generation, building-vehicle integration, hydrogen storage and associated infrastructures are promising for transformation towards a carbon–neutral community, whereas the academia provides limited information through integrated solutions, like intermittent renewable integration, hydrogen sharing...

Probabilistic strain-fatigue life performance based on stochastic analysis of structural and WAAM-stainless steels

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has increasingly attracted attention in the construction sector because of its ability to produce large metallic structural parts in short times. In this paper, Coffin-Manson and Morrow (CMM) equation is employed to compare the fatigue life of WAAM stainless steel with the structural steels S355 and S690...

Spatial-temporal potential exposure risk analytics and urban sustainability impacts related to COVID-19 mitigation: A perspective from car mobility behaviour

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) poses a significant threat to the population and urban sustainability worldwide. The surge mitigation is complicated and associates many factors, including the pandemic status, policy, socioeconomics and resident behaviours. Modelling and analytics with spatial-temporal big urban data are required to assist...

Assessing the global resilience of water quality sensor placement strategies within water distribution systems

Water quality sensors are often spatially distributed in water distribution systems (WDSs) to detect contamination events and monitor quality parameters (e.g., chlorine residual levels), thereby ensuring safety of a WDS. The performance of a water quality sensor placement strategy (WQSPS) is not only affected by sensor spatial deployment that...

A method for identifying protein complexes with the features of joint co-localization and joint co-expression in static PPI networks

Identifying protein complexes in static protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is essential for understanding the underlying mechanism of biological processes. Proteins in a complex are co-localized at the same place and co-expressed at the same time. We propose a novel method to identify protein complexes with the features of joint co...

Scale of Fluctuation for Geotechnical Probabilistic Analysis

In the past few years, random field theory has been increasingly used to model the inherent soil variability. The scale of fluctuation is one of the important parameters describing a stationary random field. In this study, the factors affecting an accurate estimation of the scale of fluctuation were studied with numerical experiments to show how...
