This monograph was stimulated by a report of the National Academies' Committee on America's Energy Future, America's Energy Future: Technology and Transformation, Summary Edition, 2009. The report pointed out the critical but poorly understood and little explored role of societal considerations in determining the fate of national energy policies and programs. In our efforts to respond to those concerns, we have examined the thesis that the three major dimensions of the energy challenge—technology, economics, and societal—are overlapping, interactive, and inseparable; therefore, they can be understood only when considered simultaneously and discussed in terms of their interactions. Correspondingly, this monograph describes energy technologies in the context of their economic and societal contexts, energy economics in their technological and societal contexts, and the societal aspects of energy in their technological and economic contexts. The monograph then identifies social science–driven research opportunities pertaining to America’s energy challenge, with the hope that the proposed research will help not only overcome the societal barriers identified by the National Academies' report, but also harness societal forces in developing a rational energy future.RTI Press PublicationBUS022000bicsscSCI024000bicsscBUS070040bicsscBUS022000SCI024000BUS070040Hegedus L.

There are several essential infrastructures for a smart city, including smart grids and transportation networks. These infrastructures are the complementary solutions to successfully developing novel services, with enhanced energy efficiency and energy security. Five papers are published in this Special Issue that cover various key areas expanding the state-of-the-art in smart cities' electrification, including transportation, healthcare, and advanced closed-circuit televisions for smart city surveillance.History of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscadaptive optimizationblockchaindetourdouble auctionedge enhancementelectric vehicleselectricity tradingenergy conservationenergy consumption monitoringenergy usage behaviourgenerative adversarial networksintelligent transportation systemmulti-exposure image fusionn/aoccupancy monitoringout-of-hours consumptionroute computationsmart citiessmart match mechanismvideo super-resolutionHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesLai Chun Singedt1326292Tsang Kim-FungedtWang YinhaiedtLai Chun SingothTsang Kim-FungothWang YinhaiothBOOK9910566461903321Electrification of Smart Cities3037273UNINA
