Climate-resilient energy systems planning via system-informed identification of stressful events

open access: yesAdvances in Applied Energy
As the energy mix increasingly relies on weather-dependent renewable sources, energy systems become more vulnerable to climate variability and extremes. However, current planning approaches struggle to incorporate climate uncertainty in the design phase ...

Effect of climate change and urbanisation on flood protection decision‐making

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, 2021
The changing climate and the rapid urbanisation may alter flood severity and influence the decision‐making process for flood management. In this study, a Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework for optimal decision‐making in flood protection is

Experimental investigation of gas kick effects on dynamic drilling parameters

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2018
Blowout incidents not only lead to fatalities but also cause loss of assets, expensive clean-up, costly incident investigations and reports, and negative impact on the environment. The 2010 Macondo blowout accident in the Gulf of Mexico was an eye-opener

Performance and Bacterial Characteristics of Aerobic Granular Sludge in Treatment of Ultra-Hypersaline Mustard Tuber Wastewater

open access: yesFermentation, 2023
Mustard tuber wastewater (MTW) is an ultra-hypersaline high-strength acid organic wastewater. Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has been demonstrated to have high tolerance to high organic loading rate (OLR), high salinity, and broad pH ranges. However, most

Fractional risk process in insurance [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics and Financial Economics, 2019
Important models in insurance, for example the Carm{ }r--Lundberg theory and the Sparre Andersen model, essentially rely on the Poisson process. The process is used to model arrival times of insurance claims. This paper extends the classical framework for ruin probabilities by proposing and involving the fractional Poisson process as a counting ...
