Along with a Business As Usual (BAU) scenario, three alternative carbon price trajectories were considered. These scenarios have been proposed based on fifth Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP5) to achieve the 2°C Paris target for Asia. The Carbon Price trajectories proposed by AIM/CGA, REMIND-MAgPIE and GCAM were considered. The energy-economic-environmental system was modelled using the AIM/Enduse model. It considered both energy supply and demand sectors. The results show that in the BAU scenario the GHG emissions are expected to increase from 19.8MtCO2e in 2015to 106.2MtCO2e in 2050. Out of three carbon tax scenarios the prices proposed by AIM/CGA has been the most efficient for reduction of GHG emissions as it could reduce final energy consumption by 26% and GHG emissions by 24% in 2050 as compared to BAU scenario.","PeriodicalId":397682,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114541154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the power dispatch strategies are to be timely modified by incorporating the environmental aspects of generation along with the economic considerations. In this paper, we propose such an Econo- Environmental dispatch (EED) system for a power grids, which are integrated with renewable energy sources. The EED problem is formulated with two objective functions which aims at minimizing the unit cost of generation as well as minimizing the emissions caused during the power production. For attaining these objectives, cost and emission functions for renewable and non-renewable sources which are integrated with the power grid are developed. The cost functions of the renewables are developed based on the real performance data from a solar and wind farm. While formulating the emission functions, the life cycle emissions are considered. Ramping behaviour of solar PV systems are also considered while optimizing the dispatch solution. The proposed dispatch system is tested on the standard IEEE 30 bus and the optimum solution is derived using Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming (MIQP). The results showed that the optimal solutions for the EED is highly dependent on the unit cost of generation from renewables and the respective weightage factors given for economic and environmental aspects. Different scenarios with varying costs and weightage factors are analysed and presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":397682,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128338760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Investigation of the Thermal Hazard of Faulty Li-ion Battery under External Heating","authors":"P. V. Chombo, Y. Laoonual","doi":"10.1109/ICUE49301.2020.9307122","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICUE49301.2020.9307122","url":null,"abstract":"Lithium-ion battery tends to explode whenever abused beyond its critical tolerance. However, it is rare for the faulty battery (non-working) to be examined against abuses to investigate its related thermal consequences. In this study, a series of experiments is established to investigate the thermal hazards of faulty Li-ion battery during external heating by studying their combustion behavior and associated thermal consequences; and later results are compared with those of working batteries. The working batteries were charged to 75% and 100% SOC before testing. A group of a faulty battery and working battery were externally heated by an electric heater and the battery surface temperature and flame temperature were recorded throughout a test series. The thermal behavior of the battery was characterized by the battery surface temperature capture by a thermocouple attached on it whereas the flame temperature was captured by five thermocouples located on top of the positive cap. Results showed that, incidents such as gassing, safety vent crack, onset to thermal runaway, ignition, explosion, and extinguishing were similar in both faulty and working battery, but they were increasingly energetic failures. It is found that a faulty battery triggered to thermal runaway at about 314 °C and reached a maximum surface and flame temperatures of 422 °C and 512.6 °C, respectively. The 100% SOC battery exhibited lower temperature to gassing, safety vent crack and ignition compared to others, whereas 75% SOC battery depicted the highest flame temperature due to energetic and stable combustion. Of great interest is that, all samples, faulty and working batteries, attained their maximum flame temperatures between explosion and extinguishing incidents. Moreover, the hottest region in all samples was within 40 mm from the positive cap. Post-test observations showed that after energetic explosion, the internal pressure in the battery reduces drastically so that ejecta are not expelled farther. At the same time, another flame emerges which burns for some time in the region of 40 mm from the positive cap. Another reason that contributed to the localization of the flame at the region of 40 mm from the positive cap is the safety vent clogging and melting of the Aluminum sheet which blocked or hindered the clear passage of the combustible gases. Thus, it can be concluded that, to enhance the safety, care should still be taken while handling the faulty battery.","PeriodicalId":397682,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132049502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The implementation of community-based forest (CBF) in Myanmar continues facing many challenges especially in a local area like Chin Sate. This study investigates the contribution of community-based forest management to livelihoods, conservation and governance by comparing different cases under the government-led and local-led initiatives. It aims at identifying the constraint factors, which should be considered to be promoted by involving interviews with key informants, focus group discussions, and the 101 randomly selected households' survey using structured questionnaires, field observation, and literature reviews. This research identifies that the community-based forest provides a wide range of benefits to a local community for their livelihood's matter, in spite of no direct cash income gained from the CBF, such as easily accessible to local construction materials; access to edible forest products during hardship time; protection of ecosystem services; social cohesion; and community awareness. The most notable benefit in the government-led initiative is household building materials, while protection and recreation service is regarded as the highest in the local-led initiative. Despite such benefits, there are still several constraints to meet a genuine participatory forest development complementing the dual objectives of livelihood's improvement and forest regeneration. Thus, strategic steps to take include providing technical skills and incentives for conservation, promoting social recognition and empowerment, exploring and integrating indigenous knowledge, and protecting community rights.","PeriodicalId":397682,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124740773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis results showed that surface temperature, air temperature, carbon monoxide (CO) have been increased for 10 years, especially central business district of Bangkok. This problem would be affected by an increasing in the number and density of buildings, in contrary with nowadays, the green area has been limited.

Natural coastal landscapes and biodiversity are becoming increasingly appreciated. By using the quintuple helix approach, the objective must be to embed the broad notion of value, elaborating on participatory, social, cultural, environmental issues into the decision-making process. The quintuple helix methodology combines knowledge, know-how, and the natural-environment-system within an ‘interdisciplinary’ and ‘transdisciplinary’ ecosystem-based management framework. The use of nature-based solutions (NbS) in coastal zones results in improved biodiversity, regenerated natural landscape, mitigated climate change and sea-level impacts and minimalized adverse effects of tourism. By implementing ‘building with nature’ coastal living labs in different countries (the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and Belgium), momentum is gained to prove the diverse values of this approach, in active collaboration with the public and decision makers.","PeriodicalId":397682,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132230553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To increase its heating value and eliminate its corrosive effect on machine components, a biogas upgrading system was designed and developed. This study evaluates the developed upgrading system by its capability to increase the methane content through hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide reduction using the iron sponge and Zeolite 13x, respectively as adsorbent columns. The results show that by varying the volume flow rate of the biogas into the system could lengthen the contact time between the biogas and adsorbent and eventually increase the CH4 content from the biogas. Furthermore, the highest methane content achieved at 63.1 % from a raw biogas concentration of 32% CH4. Meanwhile, with the breakthrough adsorption capacity of zeolite 13x was 224 mg CO2/g. This had reduced the CO2 by 41.76% from its raw biogas composition. The maximum superior and inferior calorific values produced were 22.53 MJ/m3 and 20.29 MJ/m3 respectively. The simplified design of a simultaneous upgrading system intends to increase the methane content of the biogas and further extend its application as an alternative fuel for power generation applications.","PeriodicalId":397682,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Energy, Environment and Climate Change (ICUE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132239736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
