United Nations Carbon neutrality in the UNECE region: technology
Book SynopsisThis publication calls for ambitious and bold action from governments, the private sector and regulators. Development of technologies will require new regulatory frameworks to support immediate commercialisation. Policy frameworks should also incorporate legally binding commitments for increased international technology transfer, harmonized standards, and definitions for 'green' hydrogen, energy efficiency, and conservation. All decisions should be assessed against existing and upcoming net-zero and climate neutrality targets, with all energy infrastructure built to be net-zero compliant. Integrating innovative energy technologies, alongside the transformation of energy markets and downstream industries, is a challenge and an opportunity

United Nations Promoting sustainable and responsible business in
Book SynopsisThis policy-oriented paper identifies initiatives that policy-makers in the Asia Pacific region should duly consider for promoting CSR practices, at both the regional and national levels, and spanning domestic SMEs to large MNEs. The initiatives are diverse in focus and scope, although there is one common denominator: virtually none can be enacted by government alone. Any initiative to promote sustainable and responsible business needs to be sustainable in itself, and that in turn necessitates the active engagement and tangible inputs of the business community.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Smart Meter Data Analytics: Electricity Consumer Behavior Modeling, Aggregation, and Forecasting
Book SynopsisThis book aims to make the best use of fine-grained smart meter data to process and translate them into actual information and incorporated into consumer behavior modeling and distribution system operations. It begins with an overview of recent developments in smart meter data analytics. Since data management is the basis of further smart meter data analytics and its applications, three issues on data management, i.e., data compression, anomaly detection, and data generation, are subsequently studied. The following works try to model complex consumer behavior. Specific works include load profiling, pattern recognition, personalized price design, socio-demographic information identification, and household behavior coding. On this basis, the book extends consumer behavior in spatial and temporal scale. Works such as consumer aggregation, individual load forecasting, and aggregated load forecasting are introduced. We hope this book can inspire readers to define new problems, apply novel methods, and obtain interesting results with massive smart meter data or even other monitoring data in the power systems.Table of ContentsOverview for Smart Meter Data Analytics.- Smart Meter Data Compression Based on Load Feature Identification.- A Combined Data-Driven Approach for Electricity Theft Detection.- GAN-based Model for Residential Load Generation.- Ensemble Clustering for Individual Electricity Consumption Patterns Extraction.- Sparse and Redundant Representation-Based Partial Usage Pattern Extraction.- Data-Driven Personalized Price Design in Retail Market Using Smart Meter Data.- Deep Learning-Based Socio-demographic Information Identification.- Cross-domain Feature Selection and Coding for Household Energy Behavior.- Clustering of Electricity Consumption Behavior Dynamics Toward Big Data Applications.- Enhancing Short-term Probabilistic Residential Load Forecasting with Quantile LSTM.- An Ensemble Forecasting Method for the Aggregated Load With Subprofiles.- Prospects of Future Research Issues on Smart Meter Data Analytics.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Energy and Environment in the Tropics
Book SynopsisThe tropical zones are dominated by developing countries, which mainly face problematic environmental issues. Different than four-season countries, tropical countries have a continuous summer-like season and therefore they are rich in clean energy sources like solar and biomass. Hence, the mitigations of environment and energy issues in the tropics would require specific understanding and different approach to solutions. This book offers an assortment of studies on scenarios of environment as well as energy demand and power generation technologies in the tropics. Many of the countries within the tropics are highly populated, and this results in various problems related to the environment and energy. The demand for energy in these countries keeps increasing but concurrently there are also environmental issues that require serious attention. As the global concern on the environment is alarming today, the choice of power generation should be of the cleanest possible resource. This various reports on research activities carried out in the tropics on the aspect of environment and energy presented in this book are highly beneficial for those who like to see an improvement in the tropics with regard to environment and energy systems.Table of Contents1.

ISEAS From Darkness to Light: Energy Security
Book SynopsisThis book aims to assess multidimensional aspects of energy security in the electricity sector. There are few academic literature that assess regulation and governance, availability, technology development and efficiency, environmental sustainability, and affordability dimension comprehensively. This book demonstrates how these dimensions are interconnected. The publication of this book comes at a timely moment when the Indonesian government needs to provide electricity access to more than 60 million people, to speed up electrification ratio outside Java, to reduce electricity subsidy, and to promote green power system. Moving from “darkness to light”, Indonesia needs to strengthen regulation and governance as a basis to elevate other dimensions to move forward.
