Abstract

Climate change is directly linked to the human activities, according to the Fourth Assessment Report of IPCC (2007). In last two decades of 20th Century, accelerated anthropogenic activities pushed up the atmospheric abundance of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, CH4, and N2O, alarmingly which enhanced the radiative forcing of the Earth’s surface and thus perturbed its heat radiation balance. As a consequence, atmospheric characteristics, such as temperature, rainfall pattern, levels of CO2 and O3 have changed significantly, affecting the farm productivity. Although rising level of CO2 may have fertilizing effect on C3 crops, but concomitant rise in atmospheric temperature, O3 level and extreme weather conditions can not only nullify the fertilizing effect of CO2, but also drastically reduce the crop production, threatening food security to burgeoning world population. Agricultural crops are not only victim of climate variability and extreme whether conditions, but also serve as a potential source of CH4 and N2O. Therefore, in changed scenario, Kyoto Protocol (1997) has sought all signatory developed nations to cut down their emission levels as per their differential commitments to UNFCCC and developing nations to invest in less carbon emission projects to avert the process of global warming process. In this context, the present edition, which compiles latest findings of studies carried out by the scientists on climate change and crops around the world, serves as a ready reckoner to crop scientists, atmospheric scientists, ecologists, environmentalists, research scholars and post- graduate students to update their knowledge and understanding on this issue.

Abstract

Polyurethane foams are used in many applications including household and commercial refrigerators and freezers, building insulation and roofing, doors, cushioning, packaging, sprays and marine flotation, etc. The polyurethane foam industry was radically shaken up by the discovery, in the mid 1980's, that certain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used as blowing agents can damage the environment. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) were developed as replacements, but they are now scheduled to be phased out as they also have ozone depleting potential. Global agreements have been introduced such as the Mont

Abstract

The book contains select proceedings of the International Conference on Smart Grid Energy Systems and Control (SGESC 2023). The proceedings are divided into 02 volumes, and this volume focuses on the Decarbonisation and Digitization of the Energy System. The book covers the important topics on the smart grid/microgrids and control aspects, optimal energy scheduling, distributed generation, wind energy for remote electrification, forecasting of loads and daily energy demand, reactive power management, Volt-Var control, reactive power procurement, and ancillary services, the role of FACTS devices for reactive power management and control, feasibility study of PV/Wind hybrid systems, electricity markets, stability of the power system network, energy storage systems and electrical vehicles. This book is a unique collection of 27 chapters from different areas with a common theme and will be immensely useful to academic researchers and practitioners in the industry.

Abstract

The book deals with integrated distributed energy resources in existing power systems optimally to mitigate power quality issues in power systems. The book is designed for research using modern optimization techniques and a thorough analysis of renewable energy. The book provides an in-depth study of recent trends of research scope around the globe and also includes modern heuristic approaches, hands-on data, and case studies of all important dimensions of distributed energy resources. It addresses key issues such as the integration of DERs and electric vehicles, optimization algorithms, management of DERs with electric vehicles, energy pool management mechanisms, protection, and reliability in the restructured power system. This book will be useful for students, research scholars, practitioners, and academicians.
