“…As usinas térmicas a gás natural já existentes seriam acionadas (com suprimento flexível de combustível) apenas em períodos hidroeólicos críticos, otimizando a operação do sistema e servindo como seguro para reduzir riscos de racionamento (Carvalho;Sauer, 2012).…”

“…A interligação dos parques eólicos com a rede hidrelétrica, visando estruturar um sistema hidroeólico, contribuirá para suavizar a intermitência dos ventos, pois isso permite que se firme a energia eólica, mediante a economia da água dos reservatórios hidrelétricos, para ser usada na geração de eletricidade durante as estações secas, nas quais normalmente os ventos são mais fortes e fartos (Carvalho;Sauer, 2012).…”

“…The former adopts a hybrid indicator system to summarize progress on regional sustainable development. Examples are genuine saving [22], energy analysis [23,24], ecological footprint [25,26], the human development index [27,28], and the social progress index [29]. These indicator systems work well in respect of specific criteria, but less well as a general measure of sustainability.…”

An Integrated Indicator System and Evaluation Model for Regional Sustainable Development

Regional sustainable development has become a worldwide issue in recent years, but there is no single and universally agreed method of choosing indicators for sustainable development assessment. The subjective selection of indicators will affect the results of assessment. Each evaluation method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the methods used to determine indicator weight also differ. Regional sustainable development is a complex system, which is difficult to evaluate objectively and scientifically using a single method. Therefore, a new integrated indicator system and evaluation model is constructed here to more accurately reflect regional sustainable development level. The indicator system and evaluation model were constructed using a case study of 17 cities in Shandong Province, China. The indicator system includes 4 subsystems, i.e., economy, society, resource, and environment. These indicators were selected through correlation analysis and discrimination analysis. A back propagation neural network was applied to evaluate the respective scores of the 4 subsystems. The comprehensive score for regional sustainable development was evaluated using the analytic hierarchy process with entropy correction. The results show that sustainable development levels in these 17 cities show a gradually decreasing trend from east to west and from coast to inland. Cities with an underdeveloped economy usually display poor levels of social development and serious environmental pollution. Through the improvement of indicator screening, evaluation model, and result correction, the error caused by a single evaluation method can be reduced significantly. This new methodology for indicator selection and comprehensive evaluation provides a new perspective for the assessment of regional sustainable development.

“…Scientists, politicians, economists and sociologists consider sustainability and social welfare as the society bond in the face of common aims, society participation in the democratic process, governability and access of the population to instruction, food, health services, etc (De Carvalho, 2011).…”
