ESM 616: Techno-Economic Analyses in Power System Operations
To start off the new semester, we have just developed a page for the ESM 616 Techno-Economic Analyses in Power System Operations class. The subject seeks to prepare students for the new world of “smart grid” operations. It specifically seeks to contrast conventional paradigms of power system operations and control with those that will appear in the coming decades. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary, holistic approaches founded upon industrial application and mathematical rigor. See the LIINES Blog Keywords: ADWEA — Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority, CIGRE, Control Systems Engineering, DEWA — Dubai Water & Electricity Authority, Dynamic Systems Modeling, Enterprise Control, Graph Theory, IEEE, IEEE CSS, Large Complex Systems, Model-Based Systems Engineering, Operations Research, Power System Economics
Good luck to all as we kick off the Spring Semester.

It is the premier benchmark publication for the nation’s energy sector. This annual report is published by the UAE Ministry of Energy, and is created in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Dubai Carbon. The work opens with states from his highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan President of the United Arab Emirates, his highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, his excellency Ban Ki-Moon Secretary-General of the United Nations, his excellency Dr. Sultan Al Jaber UAE Minister of State and Chairman of Masdar, his excellency Dr. Rashid Ahmad bin Fahad Minister of Environment and Water, his excellency Saeed Mohammed al Tayer Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, his excellency Dr. Matar Hamed Al Neyadi Undersecretary of the UAE Ministry of Energy. Also in the report, Dr. Amro M. Farid has authored “Key Technical Challenges to Electric Vehicle Adoption in the UAE”. It summarizes many of the conclusions from our transportation electrification research and mentioned in our previous post. The report also includes the work of LIINES alumna Reshma Francy. She has co-authored two articles. “What are GHG Emission Estimation Methodologies?” and “Energy Planning, Analysis and Policy Making around GHG Emissions”. For further information on how the LIINES continues to produce energy research relevant to the UAE landscape can be found on the LIINES publication page: http://amfarid.scripts.mit.edu LIINES Website: http://amfarid.scripts.mit.edu
Dr. Amro M. Farid Contributes to Published 2015 UAE State of the Green Economy Report
We, at the the LIINES, are happy to announce that the 2015 UAE State of the Green Economy Report has not only been published but has also gone viral! #stateofgreeneconomy.
The Dubai Carbon Center of Excellence coordinated the publication of the UN-backed document which describes opportunities and challenges for the green economy in the global market; focusing on the leadership of the United Arab Emirates.
The work features the commitments and support of his highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, his highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, his excellency Ban Ki-Moon Secretary-General of the United Nations, His Excellency Mohammed Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs in the Federal Government, his excellency Dr. Rashid bin Fahad, Minister of Environment and Water, his excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Dubai Water & Electricity Authority, and her excellency Helen Clark Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme.
Also in the report, Dr. Amro M. Farid has authored “Electric Vehicles: Energising the Adoption of Electrified Transportation in a Smart City”. It summarizes many of the conclusions from our transportation electrification research. The include five key considerations to energy the adoption of electrified transportation in the Dubai Smart City:
- Getting the electric transportation use case right
- Getting the charging infrastructure right
- Strengthening the existing power infrastructure
- Coordinating the planning of transportation and energy infrastructure
- Coordinating the operation of transportation and power infrastructure
