Thinking Through Soil
To think through soil is to engage with some of the most critical issues of our time. In addition to its agricultural role in feeding eight billion people, soil has become the primary agent of carbon storage in global climate models, and it is crucial for biodiversity, flood control, and freshwater resources. Perhaps no other material is asked to do so much for the human environment, and yet our basic conceptual model of what soil is and how it works remains surprisingly vague. In cities, soil occupies a blurry category whose boundaries are both empirically uncertain and politically contested. Soil functions as a nexus for environmental processes through which the planet's most fundamental material transformations occur, but conjuring what it actually is serves as a useful exercise in reframing environmental thought, design thinking, and city and regional planning toward a healthier, more ethical, and more sustainable future. Through a sustained analysis of the world's largest wastewater agricultural system, located in the Mexico City-Mezquital hydrological region, Thinking Through Soil imagines what a better environmental future might look like in central Mexico. More broadly, this case study offers a new image of soil that captures its shifting identity, explains its profound importance to rural and urban life, and argues for its capacity to save our planet.
Digital Twin Technology for Smart Grid
The traditional power grid has been revolutionized in recent years, and its different domains are improving to form a new smart grid. To better understand smart electricity grid and recommend how its domains function best, a comprehensive look at the power system in parallel with digitalization revolution is required. Recent digital twin (DT) technology promises to enhance industries, including smart grids, and this book studies DT architecture and its applications and benefits. Coverage includes DT solutions for smart grid domains and subsystems and describes advantages of employing DT in the smart grid. The book's concept is based on merging DT technology with smart grid applications. Its structure follows an understanding of DT concepts and applications in smart grid domains. Digital Twin Technology for Smart Power Grid will be a valuable reference for power industry practitioners, researchers, and students. It explains the new digital twin technology and how it can enhance the current electricity system toward a smarter power grid.
