Identifying Critical Factors Affecting Human Error Probability in Power Plant Operations and Their Sustainability ImplicationsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-17 - 2024
Vahideh Bafandegan Emroozi, Azam Modares
Human errors in power plants can have a significant impact on sustainability. Sustainability in the context of power plants involves ensuring the long-term viability of energy generation while simultaneously minimizing adverse environmental, social, and economic impacts. Human errors in the control and operation of power plants can result in energy losses, reducing the overall efficiency of the pl...... hiện toàn bộ
A Disjunctive Programming Approach for Optimizing Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen Symbiosis NetworksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 199-212 - 2018
Maricruz Juárez-García, José María Ponce-Ortega, Mahmoud M. El-Halwagi
Recently, the synthesis of carbon–hydrogen–oxygen symbiosis networks (CHOSYNs) has been proposed for the multi-scale integration of process industries that deal mainly with hydrocarbons while enabling chemical reactions, separation, heating/cooling, pressurization/depressurization, and allocation of the participating streams and species. Because of the complexity of the design problem, there is a ...... hiện toàn bộ
Synthesis and Optimisation of an Integrated Renewable Energy and Greenhouse NetworkSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2023
Alice Godlonton, Candice M. Borain, Adeniyi J. Isafiade, Klaus Möller, Takudzwa Chitsiga
This paper presents a study on the synthesis and optimisation of a renewable energy and resource supply chain network (SCN) to satisfy agricultural greenhouse resource and energy demands. This is motivated by the high costs and emissions to run greenhouses due to the resources and energy required for optimal growth conditions. The investigation aims to contribute to the growing area of research on...... hiện toàn bộ
Involving Resilience in Synthesizing Food Networks in Low-Income CommunitiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 139-157 - 2020
Sergio Iván Martínez-Guido, Jesús Manuel Núñez-López, José María Ponce-Ortega
Global warming has produced negative effects in all life aspects around the world. Particularly, in terms of agriculture, the rainfall variability causes lower water availability, having unfavorable yield effects in all the crops. Temperature increases and rainfall reduction have resulting decreases in agricultural production and infertility. These issues, combined with the constant population gro...... hiện toàn bộ
An Integrated Framework to Address Criticality in Biomass Tri-Generation Systems via Redundancy AllocationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 65-73 - 2018
Viknesh Andiappan, Michael Francis D. Benjamin, Raymond R. Tan, Denny K. S. Ng
A tri-generation system is an energy network consisting of highly integrated process units that produce three products simultaneously. These systems often possess operational advantages compared to stand-alone units but may come at the expense of its process units being vulnerable to failure and its rippling effects. To overcome this issue, redundant process units are often allocated or on standby...... hiện toàn bộ
A Mixed-integer Multi-objective Maintenance and Production Workforce Planning ModelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 251-267 - 2017
Desmond Eseoghene Ighravwe, Sunday Ayoola Oke
This study tackles the dilemma of producing a cooperative workforce planning involving maintenance and production departments. Its focus is on instituting workforce equilibrium between maintenance and production departments. This is necessary in order to ensure the optimal utilisation of manufacturing resources (time, equipment and funds). This maintenance-production problem was modelled using a m...... hiện toàn bộ
A Manufacturer-Retailer Inventory Model with Remanufacturing, Stochastic Demand, and Green InvestmentsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 253-273 - 2022
Wakhid Ahmad Jauhari, Ivan Darma Wangsa
This paper develops an integrated inventory model for a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) system consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer. The demand and the returns of used products are assumed to be stochastic in nature. A carbon tax policy is implemented to cut down the emissions from transportation, production, and storage. To lessen the emissions from the operations, the manufacturer invests...... hiện toàn bộ
