Proposal for Renewable Energy Systems with application to Rural Area in Asia by Buku Raz Abstract This study is based on optimization and simulation modelling of renewable energy system in rural area in India. The model we have designed provides an optimal system configuration based on hour-by-hour data for energy availability and demands. This model produces a minimum cost design for an energy system as well as the capacities of each technology. This tells us how to configure the system

Sustainability and Calculus Introduction and Preview Calculus is all about change. Calculus provides the mathematical tools to examine important questions about dynamic behavior; e.g. how fast is the world population increasing? If we continuously release a pollutant into a lake at a known rate‚ what’s the total amount of pollutant that will be dumped into the water in the next five years? How long will the nonrenewable supplies of coal and oil last if we maintain the current per capita
