This paper evaluates life cycle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of a Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant and assesses its performance under three power supply scenarios. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis is conducted for a plant located in Perth, Western Australia (WA). Input and output flows of SWRO plant are based on literature and Perth desalination plants. The Simapro Aus...

As the largest contributor to production-based emissions, electricity generation sector has led huge carbon emission transmissions. This is first attempt explore latest features of transmissions from final domestic consumption China in 2002–2015, combining MRIO-based Structural Path Analysis and transmission-based method. Results show that: (1) Although inter-provincial are increasing significa...

Electricity-based jet fuel from renewables, also labeled sustainable aviation (SAF), is expected to play a key role in the defossilization of aviation. The realization first plants for production such power-to-liquid (PtL) fuels imminent. This raises challenge an effective PtL supply chain design, which addressed this work. A novel optimization approach introduced that enables integrated select...

the aim of this study was to represent effective componentsin demand chain which help organizations attain high performance levelsthrough identification of these components and determining theirdegree of importance. the following questions were major ideas of thisstudy: what are the most effective components in demand chain? andhow are they effective on organizational performance? to this end,m...

National Laboratory is an equal opportunity employer. This paper describes two stylized alternative visions in popular currency of how the power system might evolve to meet future requirements for the high quality electricity service that modern digital economies demand, a supergrids paradigm and a dispersed paradigm. Some of the economics of the dispersed vision are explored, and perspectives ...

the revenue management concept and techniques are applied to model the coordination of supply chain elements. the fundamental premise of this approach is synchronization of a group of business entities consist-ing of a manufacturer and multiple suppliers to achieve an optimal supply chain capacity plans. the output of the supply chain can be various products and thus it is measured in terms of ...

in recent years, there has been a great concern about strategic supply chain management. the supply chain configuration approach is related to strategic management of material and information flows. most of suggested configurations in the part of strategic direction are based on environmental factors and structure-conduct-performance approach. exploring supply chain configuration with emphasis ...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper investigates and develops an electricity supply chain with generator retailer. The invests in renewable energy sells the to retailer; retailer then consumers according service quality. Three models are considered: vertical Nash game, electricity-generator Stackelberg model, electricity-retailer model. Finally, optimal solutions under different power...

This paper provides insights on the nature of electricity supply in the rural village Macha, Zambia. It reports on case study research. Use of Information and Communication Technologies and access to e-services are constrained by the availability of electricity. In Zambia`s rural areas, 3.5% of households have access to electricity supply. This paper shows such electricity supply can be erratic...

modern manufacturing enterprises are required to collaborate by their business partners through their business process operations such as design, manufacture, distribution, and aftersales services. and furthermore performance evaluation is of great importance for effective supply chain man agement. therefore, dea can help companies to remove some of the in efficiencies in operational processes ...
