Self-Enforcing Strategic Demand Reduction [PDF]
, 2002 Auctions are an area of great academic and commercial interest, from tiny auctions for toys on eBay to multi-billion-dollar auctions held by governments for resources or contracts. Although there has been significant research on auction theory, especially from the perspective of auction mechanisms, studies of autonomous bidding agents and their ...

Reduction of energy demand during ultrafiltration of goat’s milk [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 This experimental investigation aimed to establish the energy demand depending on the working pressure (0,2 MPa and 0,5 MPa), the feed flow rate (190 dm3/h and 330 dm3/h) and the volume reduction ratio (2 and 4) during ultrafiltration of goat’s milk by ...

Application of Systems Thinking to energy demand reduction [PDF]
2011 6th International Conference on System of Systems Engineering, 2011 The need to reduce energy demand has been firmly established, but progress so far has been limited. This paper postulates that a Systems Thinking approach could address some of the weaknesses of current policies, which include a lack of deep understanding into what really drives energy demand and how to change it at the user level.

Life-cycle assessment of batteries for peak demand reduction
Journal of Electronic Science and Technology, 2023 At present, a life-cycle assessment of energy storage systems (ESSs) is not widely available in the literature. Such an assessment is increasingly vital nowadays as ESS is recognized as one of the important equipment in power systems to reduce peak ...
