Characterizing Light-absorbing Aerosols in a Low-income Settlement in South Africa by Nopasika A. Xulu, Stuart J. Piketh, Gregor T. Feig, Daniel A. Lack, Rebecca M. Garland

“…In summer, the average AAE(370/950 nm) (1.3 ± 0.7), suggested the presence of BC and BrC in the mornings and evenings possibly from fossil fuel combustion sources. At midday and at night in summer, the AAE was close to 1, suggesting more BC contributions from sources such as diesel emissions during this time. …”

Advanced microgrid optimization using price-elastic demand response and greedy rat swarm optimization for economic and environmental efficiency by Arvind R. Singh, Bishwajit Dey, Mohit Bajaj, Sahil Kadiwala, Rangu Seshu Kumar, Soham Dutta, Ievgen Zaitsev

“…The primary objective is to minimize the generation cost and environmental impact of microgrid systems by effectively scheduling distributed energy resources (DERs), including renewable energy sources (RES) such as solar and wind, alongside fossil-fuel-based generators. Four distinct demand response models—exponential, hyperbolic, logarithmic, and critical peak pricing (CPP)—are developed, each reflecting a different price elasticity of demand. …”
