Energy and Environment

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Energy plays an important role in economic development and human activities. Growing population, booming economy, deteriorating environment and changing climate are expected to exert significant challenges towards energy systems. The management of such energy and environmental systems is a challenging task, involving a variety of complex social, economic, environmental, technical, and political factors. The objective in the context of this renewed CRC Program is to develop a set of innovative decision-support methodologies for energy and environmental management. Applications of the proposed techniques to Canadian cases will help industries and governments improve their effectiveness in managing complex energy and environmental problems. User-friendly computer software will be developed using object-oriented programming, in order to facilitate data organization, information presentation and modeling computation.
