This book addresses the uncertainties of wind power modeled as interval numbers and assesses the physical modeling and methods for interval power flow, interval economic dispatch and interval robust economic dispatch. In particular, the optimization models are set up to address these topics and the state-of-the-art methods are employed to efficiently solve the proposed models. Several standard IEEE test systems as well as real-world large-scale Polish power systems have been tested to veri...

This book makes an in-depth study of China’s natural resource regulatory system including theoretical basis, development process, asset accounting, ownership reform, system structure, legal safeguard and policy implications. China is a big country with vast natural resource. Improving the supervision system of natural resources and enhancing the supervision capacity of natural resources have become the top priority of China's economic and social development. This book focuses on how to est...

This book delves deeply into the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management systems of Chinese enterprises. It systematically analyzes the origins and evolution of ESG, taking into account China’s unique policy environment and market demands, and presents a localized ESG management framework tailored to Chinese companies. The book provides numerous case studies that illustrate how to effectively implement these frameworks in business operations, offering concrete guidance for a...

This book focuses on the evaluation, coordination, and effects of China’s natural resource utilization. By adopting both quantitative and qualitative analyses, this book objectively evaluates the spatial distribution characteristics and coupling relationship of China’s natural resource utilization based on the status quo and prominent problems during resource utilization. Moreover, the environmental, economic, and price fluctuation effects of China’s natural resource utilization are discus...

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of public hospital reform in China, which is a hot topic for China’s new round of health sector reform. The authors use rich data from both health provider side and service user side and conduct a cross-sectional study in China with some comparative analysis between different locations. It provides the audience with a big picture of China’s public hospital and other components of health system as well. The book reviews the main policy measur...

This book elaborates on the significance of the development of marine unmanned equipment as well as the history and current status of the development at home and abroad and analyzes the technical characteristics of marine unmanned equipment from the dimensional fields of overview, basic principles, key technologies, and applications in marine engineering, taking unmanned aircraft and unmanned boat equipment platforms as examples. The four necessary technologies to achieve the intelligent d...

This book chiefly addresses the analysis and design of geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar (GEO SAR) systems, focusing on the algorithms, analysis, methods used to compensate for ionospheric influences, and validation experiments for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Further, it investigates special problems in the GEO SAR context, such as curved trajectories, the Earth’s rotation, the ‘non-stop-and-go’ model, high-order Doppler parameters, temporal-variant ionospheric errors...

This monograph introduces readers to new theories and methods applying cognitive computing and geometric space transformation to the field of fault diagnosis and prognostics. It summarizes the basic concepts and technical aspects of fault diagnosis and prognostics technology. Existing bottleneck problems are examined, and the advantages of applying cognitive computing and geometric space transformation are explained. In turn, the book highlights fault diagnosis, prognostic, and health asse...
