Commuter cycling policy in Singapore: a farecard data analytics based approach
No full textPeak-hour week-day traffic congestion is a common challenge in urban mobility. Promotion of commuter cycling can help in alleviating this problem in many cities. This paper takes a data analytics approach to propose policies for promoting commuter cycling in Singapore. It uses farecard data to assess the commuter cycling potential and develops a data-driven approach to policy making. A spatio-temporal analysis of farecard data helps in finding patterns in the potential demand for first-mile as well as end-to-end cycling. This analysis is used to suggest policies like cycling towns to promote first-mile cycling and cycling regions to enable end-to-end cycling by linking together the cycling towns. Furthermore, an optimization model is developed to make efficient choice of cycling towns and links for a given budget so as to maximize the potential number of commuter cyclists.Singapore-MIT Alliance in Research and Technology (SMART
Introduction to thermal energy storage: solar, geothermal and hydrogen energy
No full textThis chapter explores the critical role of thermal energy storage in the context of solar, geothermal, and hydrogen energy. It emphasizes the imperative of sustainable development and environmental preservation by harnessing renewable resources. Renewable energy sources, including solar, geothermal, and hydrogen energy, are investigated for their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, bolster energy security, and stimulate economic growth. This chapter underscores the substantial growth observed in renewable energy utilization, particularly in 2020, signifying a global shift toward cleaner energy alternatives. Technological advancements in energy capture and storage, together with the increasing global adoption of Net Zero strategies, have significantly expanded renewable and green energy production. These advances span from small-scale solar panel installations to vast offshore wind farms, innovative geothermal applications, and electricity generation through hydrogen. Solar energy, with its diverse applications, and the efficiency of solar thermal technology in capturing heat are examined. Geothermal energy’s multifaceted roles in power generation, agriculture, and building climate control are explored, with a focus on enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and their potential for expanding this clean energy source. This chapter also delves into the versatility of hydrogen energy, derived from multiple sources, in applications ranging from electric vehicle power to industrial processes and energy storage. Despite the challenges posed by intermittency, land and water use, technical complexities, regulatory constraints, and implementation costs, this chapter emphasizes the necessity of developing and executing integration strategies for these renewable sources into energy systems and societies. This integration has the potential to significantly advance global energy transition and the realization of sustainable development objectives. This chapter offers profound insights into the dynamic realm of thermal energy storage and its pivotal role in shaping a sustainable and environmentally responsible energy future
