This paper proposes a dual-layer optimization model for economic dispatch of multi-microgrid systems under coupled electricity-CET-TGC markets. Using a modified state-based potential game, it increases social welfare by 23.15% and reduces r…

Kun Bo, Linlin Cai, Dong Zhang

This study develops a dynamic TCO model for a 15,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship on the Ningbo-Zhoushan-Valencia corridor, integrating EU ETS carbon costs and FuelEU Maritime compliance. Under baseline assumptions, the 15-year pre…

Iris Cuevas Martínez, Antonio J. Jara, Jesualdo Tomás Fernández Breis

This paper presents envair360, a Physical Intelligence architecture integrating traffic, meteorological, and chemical models to design, operate, and verify low-emission zones (LEZs). It introduces an evidence-gated methodology with data gov…

Ting Zeng, Y. Chen, Liuhuo Wang +4

This study constructs a low-carbon evaluation index system for overhead transmission lines in China, covering 14 indicators across four life-cycle stages (design, construction, operation, recycling), and proposes a hybrid model combining AH…

Yi Lu, Chengyuan Xiong, Yaxuan Qiu +2

This study proposes a sustainable framework for soil stabilisation by integrating strength, durability, and stabiliser type. A new index, Icse, reflects the efficiency of strength development relative to CO2 emissions and dosage. Results sh…
