Electric Vehicles In Energy Systems: Modelling, Integration, Analysis And Optimization Hardcover 1

Ahmadian, Ali

This is the first book to apply the concept of 'contents tourism' in a global context and to establish an international and interdisciplinary framework for contents tourism research. The term 'contents tourism' gained official recognition in Japan when it was defined by the Japanese government in 2005, and it has been characterised as 'travel behaviour motivated fully or partially by narratives, characters, locations, and other creative elements of popular culture forms including film, television dramas, manga, anime, novels and computer games'. The book builds on previous research from Japan and explores three main themes of contents tourism: 'the Contentsization of Literary Worlds', 'Tourist Behaviours at "Sacred Sites" of Contents Tourism' and 'Contents Tourism as Pilgrimage' and draws together these key themes to propose a set of policy implications for achieving successful and sustainable contents tourism in the 21st century.

K. Kunaifi received an M.Sc. in Renewable Energy from Murdoch University - Western Australia in 2009 and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in solar photovoltaic system applications at the University of Twente in The Netherlands. He has been a lecturer at UIN Suska Riau University in Indonesia for more than ten years. His education and research areas include renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainability., , , A.J. Veldhuis received an M.Sc. in Sustainable Energy Technology and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Twente in 2011 and 2015 respectively. He was then a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford for two years, before he moved to Zown as a Technical Engineer and further to his present position at Alliander N.V., where he works as a consultant and on the engineering of microgrids. His research includes techno-economic modeling and simulation of energy systems. A.H.M.E. Reinders received an M.Sc. in Experimental Physics at Utrecht University (1993) where she also received her Ph.D. degree (1999) in Chemistry. At present, she is a part-time professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), an Associate Professor at the University of Twente, and a visiting professor at the School of Photovoltaics & Renewable Energy Engineering of UNSW in Sydney, Australia. In the past, she conducted research at Fraunhofer Institute of Solar Energy in Freiburg, the World Bank in Washington D.C., ENEA in Naples, Center of Urban Energy in Toronto and in Indonesia, and she was a professor of Energy-Efficient Design at TU Delft. Based on these experience she developed a new approach towards energy research that is design-driven in scope. Since 2017 she has been the chair of the EU COST Action PEARL PV on the performance of PV systems and she is conducting projects on smart energy systems. She is known to her book 'The Power of Design - Product Innovation in Sustainable Energy Technologies' (2012) and 'Photovoltaic Solar Energy from Fundamental to Applications' (2017) and for her involvement in the international IEEE PVSC conference which she chaired in 2014 and 2017. In 2010 she co-founded the IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics for which she serves as an editor. She has also involved in various tasks of the International Energy Agency PVPS program, including Task 1 on Strategic PV Analysis & Outreach and Task 17 on PV for Transport.
