This handbook includes three parts, corresponding to the following
three domains of OR/MS research related to sustainability: (i)
Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology, (ii) Manufacturing,
Logistics, and Transportation, and (iii) Sustainable Natural
Resource Management. The first part of the handbook (Chapters 2-6)
will focus on the creation and development of sustainable products,
services, value chains, and organizations from a systems
perspective. Key areas to be covered include Green Design &
Innovation, Technology and Engineering Management, Sustainable
Value Chain Systems, Sustainability Standards and Performance
Evaluation, and Circular Economy and New Research Directions in
Sustainability. The second part of the handbook (Chapters 7-11)
will concentrate on the major operational and logistic issues faced
by today's industries in pursuing sustainability. Key areas to be
covered include Remanufacturing, Reverse Logistics, Closed-Loop
Supply Chains, Sustainable Transportation, and New Research
Directions in Green Supply Chain Management. The third part of the
proposed handbook (Chapters 12-16) will center on major
sustainability issues in managing engineering infrastructure and
natural resources. Key areas to be covered include Renewable
Energy, Sustainable Water Resource, Biofuel Infrastructure, Natural
Gas, and New Research Direction in Sustainable Resource Management.
The handbook aims to bridge the three main OR/MS research domains
in sustainability: "Systems Design, Innovation, and Technology,"
"Manufacturing, Logistics, and Transportation," and "Sustainable
Natural Resource Management." Traditionally, these domains are
treated separately in the OR/MS literature. By combining the three
domains, the handbook will provide a more holistic treatment of
MS/OR methodologies to address critical sustainability issues faced
by today's society. Unlike most existing handbooks which only focus
on current OR/MS research in sustainability within a domain, this
handbook will include a concluding chapter in each of the three
parts to discuss and identify potential future research directions
in each of the three main domains.
This book covers game-theoretic approaches to analyzing policies
for environmental regulation in the power sector. The scope
includes operational and investment decisions in imperfectly
competitive electricity markets as well as transmission planning
and policy design. Given this context, this book synthesizes
equilibrium and bi-level modeling to address challenging research
questions such as: * How are power-plant operations affected by
carbon policy, such as cap-and-trade (C&T) systems? * How does
market power in electricity generation affect market outcomes and
CO2 emissions? * How does a strategic firm with first-mover
advantage manipulate both electricity and C&T permit prices? *
How does a strategic firm with first-mover advantage invest in new
generation capacity under a C&T system? * How does sustainable
transmission planning adapt to an imperfectly competitive power
sector? * How should a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) target be
revised in an imperfectly competitive power sector? This book
includes plenty of illustrative examples to facilitate the
concepts' comprehension. It is intended to make equilibrium and
bi-level models adapted for policy assessment accessible to
graduate students, academic researchers, industry practitioners,
and policy analysts.
