In this era of globalization, preventing organizations from undermining and degrading the environment has become a great challenge, especially when considering that organizations are among the major contributors to environmental deterioration. As a r...
Although many countries prefer deregulated power markets as a means of containing power costs, a monopoly may still exist. In this study, an agent-based bidding simulation framework is proposed to detect whether there will be a monopoly in the power...
The global energy crisis and the pursuit of carbon neutrality have introduced significant challenges to the optimal dispatch of power systems. Despite advancements in optimization techniques, existing methods often struggle to efficiently handle the...
Federated learning enables collaborative model training without sharing raw data, but practical deployments increasingly require verifiable guarantees that clients compute updates correctly. Zero-knowledge proofs can provide such guarantees, yet exis...
Renewable energy sources are constantly increasing in the modern power systems. Due to their intermittent and uncertain potential, increased spinning reserve requirements are needed to conserve the reliability. On the other hand, each action towards...
Agroecology represents a holistic approach in the transition to food system sustainability, integrating different dimensions, including knowledge creation, practices redefinition and social mobilisation. This study aims to explore the processes under...
The onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic has negatively impacted sustainable learning in education (SLE). During city lockdowns, higher education institutes (HEIs) have transitioned from adopting solely traditional didactic classroom teaching to inc...
Unit Commitment (UC) is a complicated integrational optimization method used in power systems. There is previous knowledge about the generation that has to be committed among the available ones to satisfy the load demand, reduce the generation cost a...
With the reform of energy structures, the high proportion of volatile new energy access makes the existing unit commitment (UC) theory unable to satisfy the development demands of day-ahead market decision-making in the new power system. Therefore, t...
The Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) is a critical component of power market decision-making and is typically formulated as Mixed Integer Programming (MIP). Given the complexity of solving MIPs, efficiently solving large-scale UCPs remains a significant...
