Abstract

IJESM Editorial 11,2 The second issue of volume 11 of International Journal of Energy Sector Management comprises nine research articles, which deal with various issues and challenges that are common to many countries although some of them have been demonstrated through specific country perspective. Climate change issues are one of the greatest threats of today’s human endeavour. Greenhouse gas emission is one of the causes for this. The research article by Dhamija, Yadav and Jain explores Certified Emission Reduction of top 50 Indian companies for the period of 2011 to 2015. von Selasinsky, Schubert, Meyer and Möst analyse whether experiencing a supply interruption affects the valuation of security of electricity supply. They reveal that experience with power outages can increase the perceived relevance of the policy objective “security” at the expense of the objective “environmental sustainability”. Radha, Subramanian, Ganesan and Abirami present a method to minimise operating cost, adhering pollution norms, maintaining reserve and voltage levels subject to various operational constraints including non-linear characteristics of generators and fuel limitation issues, which is useful for today’s power system applications.
