Evolution of Energy Management Systems

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1989
Abstract This paper forecasts the direction of Electric Utility Operations Computer Systems, especially Energy Management Systems for the next era of technology. It attempts to anticipate the effects of technical and structural developments in the computer systems and software industry, as well as the impact of structural changes in the utility ...

Energy problems in life evolution

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2005
Evolutionary aspects of bioenergetics are considered. These include the origin of the first organisms, UV-protection and the beginnings of anoxygenic photosynthesis, the electron donor problem of life and the appearance of oxygenic photosynthesis, oxygen danger and strategies of defense, and the role of oxygen in programmed cell death.

Energy utilization and evolution

Journal of Social and Biological Systems, 1981
Abstract The use of energy by technically advanced societies appears to be part of man's social evolution and an extension of his biological evolution from more primitive life forms. Increasing independence has been the response to evolving selection pressures. Concomitantly species have become less fecund but longer lived. Man's social evolution has

The evolution of chemiosmotic energy coupling

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1976
Abstract An evolutionary scheme for the origin of chemiosmotic coupling of redox reactions and ATP synthesis is proposed. It is argued that the primitive heterotroph, which generated ATP by substrate level phosphorylation, used some of this ATP in active proton extrusion to regulate cytoplasmic pH.

Energy and human evolution

Population and Environment, 1995
Life on Earth is driven by energy. Autotrophs take it from solar radiation and heterotrophs take it from autotrophs. Energy captured slowly by photosynthesis is stored up, and as denser reservoirs of energy have come into being over the course of Earth's history, heterotrophs that could use more energy evolved to exploit them.Homo sapiens is such a ...

Cellular evolution as the flow of energy

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2021
In contrast to Darwinian evolution, which is founded on the material competition between organisms, cellular epigenetic evolution focuses on cell-cell communication of data from one stage of life to another-developmentally, phylogenetically, as injury-repair - ultimately governed by the First Principles of Physiology. By merging ontogeny and phylogeny,

Energies and Evolution Criteria

2001
The second principle accounts for the stability of systems, but its most natural statement in terms of entropy increases for isolated systems is too general to be practically useful. This leads to the definition of thermodynamic potentials, such as the Gibbs free energy, whose variations dictate the feasibility of transformations under given specific ...
