Flexible Distribution Networks facilitates the enhanced flexibility, efficiency and reliability of distribution networks under complex operating environments delivered by high DG penetration. Considering the high share of DG and flexibility improvement brought by SOP-type power electronic devices, the work aims to solve the issues of optimal operation of flexible distribution networks. Technical solutions for flexible operation problems of FDN are discussed in depth, including efficient analytical methods with high penetration of DG, SOP-based optimal operation methods with uncertainty, and high-performance convex optimization algorithms. Readers will develop sound knowledge and gain insights into the optimal operation of FDN with high penetration of DG. - Provides efficient operation analysis methods for FDN with high penetration of distributed generators - Proposes measurement-based network estimation methods to improve the observability of network states - Develops SOP-based optimal operation methods to facilitate the flexible operation of FDN under complex and uncertain environments - Expounds local control frameworks to realize the rapid and effective implementation of flexible operation strategies - Reviews high-performance convex optimization methods to realize the efficient solving of optimal operation problems in FDN

This 2014 Article IV Consultation highlights that with subdued international prices, inflationary pressures in Mauritius declined in 2013, despite the public sector wage increases. The unemployment rate was unchanged compared with 2012 at 8 percent. Credit to private sector growth remained robust. On the external front, the current account deficit widened to almost 10 percent of GDP in 2013. The reserve cover of imports of goods and services stayed constant at 41⁄2 months with the Bank of Mauritius accumulating additional net international reserves. The structural primary deficit was broadly unchanged relative to 2011.

"The industrial or energetic use of woody or herbal biomass can provide solutions to the ecologic and economic problems of the growing worldwide demand for energy and fuel. A two-year research exchange named Biociclo between the Universidad de Concepcion (Chile) and the Universitat Karlsruhe (TH) (Germany) aimed at establishing contracts for supporting joint research in the field. This book contains the contributions for the final workshop of this exchange funded by the German BMBF and the Chilean CONICYT. It reflects the internationality and interdisciplinarity of the workshop's participants and the scope of the contributed papers about Biomass Utilization Paths in Chile, Pyrolysis and Life-Cycle Assessment of Biomass and Logistic Concepts of Biomass Utilization Concepts. We are glad to offer a documentation, which may foster the exchange of scientific approaches and their practical application."--Publisher's description.

Geothermal energy is the thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth's core, mantle, and crust. Geothermal technologies are used to generate electricity and to heat and cool buildings. To develop accurate models for heat and mass transfer applications involving fluid flow in geothermal applications or reservoir engineering and petroleum industries, a basic knowledge of the rheological and transport properties of the materials involved (drilling fluid, rock properties, etc.)—especially in high-temperature and high-pressure environments—are needed. This Special Issue considers all aspects of fluid flow and heat transfer in geothermal applications, including the ground heat exchanger, conduction and convection in porous media. The emphasis here is on mathematical and computational aspects of fluid flow in conventional and unconventional reservoirs, geothermal engineering, fluid flow, and heat transfer in drilling engineering and enhanced oil recovery (hydraulic fracturing, CO2 injection, etc.) applications.
