Energy storage provides grid operations with several benefits, including static reserve and frequency and voltage regulation. Furthermore, end users may use energy storage devices to reduce demand charges or participate in utility-sponsored demand-side management programs. Mechanical energy storage devices like flywheels use electric power to generate kinetic energy in an unmoving mass or rotor that…

Urban mobility refers to the movement of people within urban environments and includes both personal and commercial mobility. The modal split is determined by choosing transportation modes based on cost, technology and availability considerations. Furthermore, personal preferences, travel time and distance also play a part. Public transport Public transportation is an integral component of urban…

Zoning regulations dictate how property can be used. Municipalities typically divide land into residential, commercial and industrial zones. These zones regulate factors like size, density and location. Size refers to how much floor area ratio a building covers (FAR). Residential neighborhoods typically consist of homes with FARs between 1-10, as well as park-like spaces and…

Land use planning is an expansive and multifaceted endeavor that encompasses creating regulations to determine what can be constructed on each piece of land, with an eye toward both meeting people’s needs while protecting the environment.
