Building a Comprehensive Conceptual Framework for Power Systems Resilience Metrics
Recently, the frequency and severity of natural and man-made disasters (extreme events), which have a high-impact low-frequency (HILF) property, are increased. These disasters can lead to extensive outages, damages, and costs in electric power systems. A power system must be built with “resilience” against disasters, which means its ability to withstand disasters efficiently while ensuring the ...
متن کاملPhysico-Economic Evaluation of Climate Metrics: a Conceptual Framework
The design of multi-gas mitigation policies requires methods for comparing the climate impact of different forcing agents—so -called metrics. A multitude of climate metrics has been presented in the literature. Key characteristics of any metric are (a) its impact function, i.e. its functional relationship to physical climate parameters, and (b) the weighting of impacts over time. In view of the...
متن کاملTowards A Conceptual Framework For Life Cycle Assessment In Sustainable Information Systems Management
Information Systems (IS) play an important role for the sustainable development of business organisations. New metrics and methodologies are required to explore the interactions between IS, organisations and the environment. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology already proved its ability to measure environmental impacts of complex systems in other industries. However, when trying to adop...
متن کاملChronic illness and the life cycle: a conceptual framework.
This article provides a conceptual framework for thinking about the system created at the interface of chronic illness with the family life cycle. First, a psychosocial typology and time phases of illness schema is described as a necessary, preliminary step to create a common language that bridges the worlds of illness, individual, and family development. This schema organizes similarities and ...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Photovoltaic Technology Application in Decentralized Electricity Production in Iran: a Conceptual Framework
Using a variety of solar power plants is one of the solutions governments use to respond to energy and sustainable development needs. While Iran has a strong potential for using solar energy, the application of solar energy, especially through PV technology, has been limited due to the country’s richness of fossil fuels and their low prices. Therefore, it is important to adopt effective strateg...
