This paper presents an optimal planning procedure and operational scheduling of micro energy grids (MEGs). The optimization objectives are to minimize cost, carbon dioxide emissions, and energy deficiency. The energy sources and conversion technologies included in this study are renewable based...

We describe a sparse grid collocation algorithm to compute recursive solutions of dynamic economies with a sizable number of state variables. We show how powerful this method may be in applications by computing the nonlinear recursive solution of an international real business cycle model with a...

This conceptual article seeks to integrate blockchain into current theory on the governance of inter-organizational exchanges within business networks. It is posited that a blockchain governance structure comprised of administrative, platform, and application level mechanisms represents a...

As the cell and PCS world collides into wireless LANs and Internet-based parcel information, new networking approaches will maintain the blend of voice and information on the composite establishment of cell base stations and Ethernet-based wireless passages. Cross-Layer Design has become an...

Critical effects of global climate change urgently call for socio-technical transitions towards more efficient, flexible and cleaner energy systems. However, adequate regulatory frameworks and policy incentives are lagging behind. This paper focuses on the governance dynamics shaping...

At the core of any meaningful economic activity is electric power. Absence or inadequacy of it in a nation stalls development in that nation. In Nigeria, there is a wide gap between forecast power and actual power generation needed for productive endeavours. For instance in July 2017, the...

A new generation of cellular technology has been deployed every decade since the 1980s. We are presently amid the global commercial deployment by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) of the fifth generation (5G) of cellular technology; and concurrently, a flurry of research is engaged in designing...
