Effective Asset Operation Efficiency Assessment of Power Grid Enterprises in Context of New Power System by Yingjin YE, Ling LIN, Di RUAN, Shiming ZHANG, Hongyang LIN

“…Firstly, this paper analyzes the impact of the new power system on the effective asset operation of power grid enterprises, and constructs an input-output index system for the evaluation of the effective asset operation efficiency of power grid enterprises. Secondly, considering that the uncertainty of new energy generation and electricity price subsidy policy will make it difficult for statistical data to accurately reflect the real situation of input-output efficiency of power grid enterprises, this paper modifies the traditional DEA model based on the robust optimization idea and dual theory, and constructs a robust DEA model that takes into account the unexpected output and input-output uncertainty. …”

Creating and Validating Hybrid Large-Scale, Multi-Modal Traffic Simulations for Efficient Transport Planning by Fabian Schuhmann, Ngoc An Nguyen, Jörg Schweizer, Wei-Chieh Huang, Markus Lienkamp

“…The overall objective of this paper is to develop an efficient toolchain capable of automatically generating, calibrating, and validating hybrid scenarios, with the following specific goals: (i) an automated and seamless merge of the meso- and micro-networks and demand; (ii) a validation procedure that incorporates real-world data into the hybrid model, enabling the meso- and micro-sub-models to be validated separately and compared to determine which simulation, micro- or meso-, more accurately reflects reality. …”
