“…Smart grid technologies can be defined as self-sufficient systems that can find solutions to problems quickly in an available system that reduces the workforce and targets quality electricity to all consumers [5,6]. Moreover, the Smart Grid (SG), are likely to bring out subsequently enormous forms of social change [7] in a modern world.…”

Abstract. The study explores the role of Smart Grid technologies, giving sustainable, reliable and safe energy. These technologies will provide an economic benefit to the government, the investors and the consumers. The paper overviews global trends and perspectives of using Smart Grid technologies in Russia and in other countries. The Smart Grid concept is especially important for Russia, because there are many power supply problems in the energy sector. This study is expected to be important for researchers and engineers studying Smart Grid technologies.

Sustainable Zoning, Land-Use Allocation and Facility Location Optimisation in Smart Cities

et al. 2019

Many cities around the world are facing immense pressure due to the expediting growth rates in urban population levels. The notion of 'smart cities' has been proposed as a solution to enhance the sustainability of cities through effective urban management of governance, energy and transportation. The research presented herein examines the applicability of a mathematical framework to enhance the sustainability of decisions involved in zoning, land-use allocation and facility location within smart cities. In particular, a mathematical optimisation framework is proposed, which links through with other platforms in city settings, for optimising the zoning, land-use allocation, location of new buildings and the investment decisions made regarding infrastructure works in smart cities. Multiple objective functions are formulated to optimise social, economic and environmental considerations in the urban space. The impact on underlying traffic of location choices made for the newly introduced buildings is accounted for through optimised assignment of traffic to the underlying network. A case example on urban planning and infrastructure development within a smart city is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method.Energies 2019, 12, 1318 2 of 23 increasingly reflected in the operations of existing cities, resulting in an interrelated platform between large numbers of citizens, transport networks, services and urban assets and facilities [9].Decision-making in planning and operations of smart cities needs to be structured around two main considerations, namely strategic and tactical decisions [10]. Yet, current emphasis in the literature is on the technical interfaces making up the various data-exchange enabling platforms placed within the cities, with little emphasis on the strategic and tactical urban planning aspects of smart cities. Within the area of strategic decision-making in city planning, zoning of the city and the location of its operating facilities, including schools, hospitals and so forth, are both of significant relevance [11]. An appropriate selection of zone clusters and the subsequent selection of locations to place buildings in form the main components that are involved in city design. In cities, the positioning of new buildings leads to the generation of traffic demand in the existing network structure [12]. This causes additional traffic loadings on the existing network, and if not well planned for, can result in major transportation delays to network users. Traffic congestion is thought to result in over $121 billion in losses [13] and can increase the amount of carbon emissions from traffic by more than 53% [14]. Another important strategic consideration is the development of the underlying travel network of the region. Specifically, the development of the transport network will be based on the capacities required to handle the initiated travel on the transport networks, while the operations of the network will in turn be associated with the established capacity of the network, along...
