A new technique for optimal estimation of the circuit-based PEMFCs using developed Sunflower Optimization Algorithm
Yuan, Zhi; Wang, Weiqing; Wang, Haiyun; Razmjooy, Navid - In: Energy Reports 6 (2020), pp. 662-671
This paper proposes a new methodology for the optimal selection of the parameters for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) models. The proposed method is to optimal parameter selection of the circuit-based model of the PEMFC model to minimize the sum of squared error (SSE) value between...

An optimal configuration for a battery and PEM fuel cell-based hybrid energy system using developed Krill herd optimization algorithm for locomotive application
Guo, Yingying; Dai, Xiangdong; Razmjooy, Navid - In: Energy Reports 6 (2020), pp. 885-894
A new methodology has been proposed for optimal size selection of a hybrid energy system (HES) including lithium-ion battery and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell to supply the driving force of a locomotive. The main purpose is to minimize the total cost of HES with different...

A bridge over troubled water: Flooding shocks and supply chains
Bijnens, Gert; Montoya, Mariano; Vanormelingen, Stijn - 2024
This paper estimates how the impact of a natural disaster propagates through the production network. More precisely, we look at the excessive rainfall in the summer of 2021 that caused large areas to be severely flooded in Belgium. We first look at the direct effects on firms active in the...

The intention-behavior gap in climate change adaptation
Kesternich, Martin; Osberghaus, Daniel; Botzen, W. J. Wouter - 2022
Most empirical studies on private climate change adaptation rely on self-reported intentions which often fail to translate into real actions. Consequently, this strand of literature can only insufficiently account for the intention behavior gap (IBG) in climate change adaptation, which...

Deconstructing the climate migration myth: Assessing the impact of the 2022 floods on the movement of local populations in rural Punjab
Chaudhry, Rabia; Youkhana, Eva - 2024
The link between climate change and migration has gained considerable recognition in recent years. Yet, it remains a complex and highly divisive issue in policy and academic circles alike. Fanned by populist politics and partisan media, misleading claims of large-scale migration of climate...

Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)
Diaz, Delavane B. - 2015
The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...

Kurzarbeit and natural disasters: How effective are short-time working allowances in avoiding unemployment?
Fournier Gabela, Julio G.; Sarmiento, Luis - 2020
There is substantial evidence on the effectiveness of short-time work on reducing unemployment. However, no study looks at its role during natural disasters. This article exploits the exogenous nature of the 2013 European floods to assess if the impact depends on the quality of the short-time...
