Expanding e-commerce and delivery benefit consumers through increased flexibility convenience. However, there is a potential impact on vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by personal vehicles, the resulting energy consumption, air quality, congestion. Delivery trips could replace trips, but, if not replacement, add to (or supplement) shopping-related VMT for given household. We examined benefits of shopping how these differed across item types, household child status, income. found that high-income...

The popularity and recognition of hydrogen (H <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> ) as a clean energy source is gaining momentum. Producing H using green such nuclear renewable sources important to meet carbon emission goals. This paper demonstrates the modeling solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) fuel (SOFC) systems which are coupled with nuclear-renewable sources, storage systems, power conversion form integrated system...

Aerial drones offer a distinct potential to reduce the delivery time and energy consumption for of time-sensitive small products. However, there is still need in relevant industry understand performance drone-based under different business needs drone operating conditions. We studied deployment optimization problem direct goods customers maintaining specified window. This paper presents new mathematical optimization-based decision-making methodology help owners optimally route their fleet...

This paper demonstrates a novel modular distributed framework that uses optimal energy-dispatching strategies to enable greater flexibility and profitability in nuclear-renewable integrated energy systems (NR-IES). Hydrogen is used as commodity this since its production can improve grid stability system operational flexibility, decarbonize heavy industry, create an additional revenue stream for electricity generators, particularly nuclear power plants with high expenses. The proposed...
