Multi-Objective Stochastic Programming in Microgrids Considering Environmental Emissions

This paper deals with day-ahead programming under uncertainties in microgrids (MGs). A two-stage stochastic programming with the fixed recourse approach was adopted. The studied MG was considered in the grid-connected mode with the capability of power exchange with the upstream network. Uncertain electricity market prices, unpredictable load demand, and uncertain wind and solar power values, du...

CO2 Balance and Estimation of Ventilation Rates in Animal Studies

The CO 2 emissions were measured in environmental rooms in 15 animal operation studies, including studies of dairy cow, steer, swine, turkey, laying hen and broiler. The objectives of this paper are to summarize CO 2 emission data in these 15 studies;, to investigate the possible diet effect; and to evaluate the performance of the CO 2 balance approach to estimate ventilation rate (VR) of anima...

Whole-farm models to quantify greenhouse gas emissions and their potential use for linking climate change mitigation and adaptation in temperate grassland ruminant-based farming systems.

The farm level is the most appropriate scale for evaluating options for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, because the farm represents the unit at which management decisions in livestock production are made. To date, a number of whole farm modelling approaches have been developed to quantify GHG emissions and explore climate change mitigation strategies for livestock systems. This paper...

A Farm System Approach to Analyze Greenhouse Gas (ghg) Mitigation Strategies for Ruminant Production Systems

Agriculture is a significant emitter of GHGs. Especially ruminant production systems that contribute substantially to global warming due to the enteric fermentation. Ruminant production systems are often integrated in mixed farm systems, including arable production, grassland systems and possibly energy production, which may provide opportunities for mitigation of GHGs when considered as a whol...
