Research on Multi-Scenario Distributed Wind and Photovoltaic Power Accommodation Capacity of Distribution Network Based on Time Series Production Simulation

With the large-scale access of distributed new energy into the distribution network, the evaluation on the accommodation capacity of distributed new energy in the distribution network has important guiding significance for the scientific planning of distributed generation and grid connection. Considering the parked and regionalized development trend of distributed power generation mode, this paper proposes a method for evaluating the distributed wind and photovoltaic power accommodation capacity of regional distribution networks based on time series production simulation from the perspective of practical applications. Based on the timing difference and complementarity of the load characteristics of substations on the distribution network side, we conducted an evaluation on the distributed wind and photovoltaic power accommodation capacity of the regional distribution network, and through taking the flexible operation mode of the distribution network side into consideration, realized the mutual assistance from time domain and space dimension of distributed new energy consumption and carrying capacity of various substations. Through establishing a mathematical model for the consumption and carrying capacity analysis in the multi-scenario modes such as local node consumption, local station consumption and allowing certain percentage of abandoned electricity, we came out the scale of the maximum consumption of distributed new energy in different scenarios as well as the overall grid connection layout scheme. In the end, we used such evaluation method to conduct an empirical analysis on the distribution network in certain region, verified the correctness and effectiveness of the model, and provided theoretical supports for guiding the regional distributed new energy overall planning and scientific grid connection.

Delineating urban growth boundaries under multi-objective and constraints

Urban growth boundaries (UGBs) have viewed as an efficient tool to control disorderly urban expansion and promote urban sustainable development. The existing methods related to UGBs delineation have also focused mainly on improving the efficiency and applicability of the methods. However, it is not enough to emphasize simply the superiority of the methods, especially in China. UGBs delineation not only considers regional heterogeneous resource endowments but also further coordinates pre-existing land-use plans and the conflicts with one another. The study presents a novel framework for delineating UGBs from carrying-capacity-oriented perspective whose contributions are twofold. Firstly, the level of carrying capacity on resource and environment for each sub-region was evaluated by carrying capacity analysis. A modified mechanism was used to coordinate the inter-regional trade-off between urban growth and carrying capacity on resource and environment and quantify as the constraints of the algorithm. The suitability evaluations of multiple land-use type, including urban lands, agricultural lands, and ecological lands, are viewed as the optimization objectives of the algorithm together with urban landscape compactness. Second, we develop a comprehensive method coupling carrying capacity analysis, land-use suitability evaluation, and modified ant colony optimization algorithm. It can not only coordinate the conflicts with the land-use plans but also ensure the sustainable development for each sub-region. The dilation and erosion algorithm generates optimal UGBs. The proposed framework was applied to UGBs delineation in Wuhan, a rapidly urbanizing city in China. Multi-scenarios UGBs were delineated by the proposed framework. The results demonstrated carrying-capacity-oriented UGBs delineation perspective is more practical and closer to reality than the results of traditional methods. The conceptual and methodological advancement of this study is applicable to other cities to assist UGBs delineation.

Remote sensing assessment and spatiotemporal variations analysis of ecological carrying capacity in the Aral Sea Basin

The severe shrinkage of Aral Sea and water resources coordination issues in upstream and downstream regions lead to the serious ecological crisis in the Aral Sea Basin (ASB). Comprehensive ecological carrying capacity (ECC) assessment is of great significance for the ecological restoration and sustainable development. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Experts Mark, this paper established the index evaluation system according to the specific ecological situation of the ASB. Combining remote sensing (RS) data and geographic information systems (GIS) technology, the paper assessed the ECC from 2001 to 2018 and explained the variations of the ECC by various data. The results indicate that the ECC is getting better in eighteen years. In 2009, the ECC condition is the best. ECC of the upstream region is better than that of the downstream region. The cause analysis that highlights the precipitation and enforcement of ecological policy has a positive impact on the ECC change. And the disparity of water body in upstream and downstream watercourses contributes to the regional difference of ECC. The paper provides an evaluation system of the ECC in the ASB. The analysis of the ECC variations is instructive to the sustainable development and ecological restoration in the ASB and other similar areas.

Multi-scale evaluation and multi-scenario simulation analysis of regional energy carrying capacity—Case study: China

The analysis of energy carrying capacity (ECC) is an important basis for measuring the sustainable development level of regional energy carrying systems (ECS) and the selection of regional development models. This study establishes a regional ECS structure model from four subsystems: energy resources, economic development, social development, and ecological environment. The synergistic development relationship between subsystems and the feedback relationship between key elements are analyzed. Using a system dynamics model, the catastrophe progression method and the coupling coordination model are applied to rate the ECC and the coupling coordination degree (CCD) of China's ECS from 2004 to 2018. Furthermore, the status continuation scenario (SCS), policy planning scenario (PPS), strengthen policy scenario (SPS), and policy comparison scenario (PCS) are set up to carry out the multi-scenario simulation of China's ECC, and ECC and CCD in four scenarios from 2019 to 2050 are analyzed. The results reveal that from 2004 to 2018, the socioeconomic, the energy resources, and the energy environment carrying capacities to varying degrees, and the level of China's ECC and CCD increased year by year. It entered a comparably weak carrying level in 2010 and optimized from the uncoordinated stage to the primary coordinated stage in 2008. From 2019 to 2050, the ECC will reach the platform period in 2036 under PPS, and under SPS and PCS it will reach the platform period in 2030; the ECC stages and development coordination optimization nodes are both manifested as that SPS is the earliest, PCS is second, and PPS is the latest. In the future development process, it is recommended that take PPS as the bottom line and SPS as the goal, with high carrying capacity and superior coordinated stages as the guide, and the sustainable development capacity supported by ECS should be strengthened.

An LCA-based environmental impact assessment model for regulatory planning

Assessing the environmental impact (EI) of regulatory planning (a lower tier in the Chinese urban planning system) has significant implications for improving the environmental performance of the future built environment. Current environmental impact assessments generally focus on microscale and macroscale, while mesoscale studies at region level are lacking. To fill this gap, this paper proposes an LCA-based environmental impact assessment model for regulatory planning, which focuses on embodied EI of urban construction and operational EI associated with the operation of the built environment. To ensure the regulatory plans both meet the environmental limits and fit well with environmental policy requirements, this paper also presents a new impact analysis method by integrating environmental carrying capacity analysis and distance to target method. The Statutory Plan of Shenzhen Futian Free Trade Zone 03-T2 is used as a case study to test and demonstrate the applying process and functions of the proposed method. Results indicate that the proposed model can effectively quantify the future environmental impact associated with a regional development plan, and can potentially be used as a tool for urban administrators to make decisions on regulatory planning revision and provide references for environmental management.

Research on Regional System Planning Method of Rural Habitat in Gully Regions of the Loess Plateau, under the Background of Rural Vitalization Strategy in China

Against the background of the Rural Vitalization Strategy in the gully regions of the Loess Plateau, large number of residents living in gullies move to tableland. On the one hand, this causes the disappearance of slope villages and gully villages; on the other hand, it increases ecological pressure on tableland, which was originally densely populated. The villages’ locations, the developing conditions, and the ecological carrying capacity of the surrounding villages have influence on the development direction of these villages and regional system planning. Through comparative analysis of different analysis methods for determining ecological carrying capacity, this paper takes the limiting factor analysis method as the main method and improves it according to the local conditions. Through the analysis of maximum ecological carrying capacity, current carrying capacity, and current population, we can determine which villages have the potential to support more immigrants and which ones should be integrated with others to improve the human settlement environment. At the same time, villages are graded so that the present and future human settlements’ environment can be further analyzed and predicted, which can be also adopted as an important guide for the local villages’ relocation and combination. Finally, we select a representative region to prove the general applicability of our planning method in the Loess Plateau.

Analysis of ecological carrying capacity using a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method

Abstract With the rapid development of the economy, environmental issues have become increasingly prominent and pose a threat to the sustainable development of human society. Maintaining the integrity of ecosystems and limiting human activity are prerequisites for sustainable economic development. Therefore, fully understanding the regional ecological conditions and related influential factors is important for promoting regional sustainable development. It is of great practical significance to study the ecological carrying capacity (ECC) from multiple perspectives. In this paper, Shannon entropy theory, a fuzzy comprehensive method and an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) are used to provide reasonable weights for ECC evaluation modelling by combining subjective and objective weights. Furthermore, based on ecological resilience and ecological pressure, a comprehensive system of evaluation factors is established for ECC assessments. For this study in Yunyang County in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of China, the following fifteen factors were selected: slope, land use, the land stress index, the habitat quality index, the water network density index, vegetation coverage, the geological hazard index, annual total rainfall, annual total temperature, the population density index, the proportion of construction land, the economic development index, the road network density index, the steep slope reclamation rate and the proportion of agricultural land. Additionally, an obstacle degree model was used to explore the response relationship between the regional ecological quality and the corresponding influential factors and to extract the major factors that affect the quality of the ecological environment. The results show that the area with a very low comprehensive evaluation rating is 119.54 km2, accounting for 3.30% of the study area, including Bayang Town, Shuangjiang Street and Qinglong Street, and the area with a low comprehensive evaluation rating is 519.29 km2, accounting for 14.34% of the study area. The main factor that influences the environmental quality of the study area is the economic development index, and the obstacle degree frequency is higher than 80%. Additionally, the steep slope reclamation rate, land stress index and proportion of agricultural land also have considerable impacts on the ECC of Yunyang County, with obstacle degree frequencies of 61.90%, 61.90% and 52.38%, respectively.

Abstract. Sukuryadi, Harahab N, Primyastanto M, Semedi B. 2020. Analysis of suitability and carrying capacity of mangrove ecosystem for ecotourism in Lembar Village, West Lombok District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 596-604. Mangrove ecosystems in Lembar Village, West Lombok District, Indonesia has high ecological role and economic potentials, and have been as a pilot area for mangrove conservation and rehabilitation activities. In 2015 the area was developed into a mangrove ecotourism area as a form of utilization to obtain ecological and economic sustainability for the local community. The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability and carrying capacity of the mangroves area for the development of mangrove ecotourism. Data collection was conducted using field surveys and direct observation. Data collected were then analyzed to calculate ecotourism suitability index and carrying capacity of the area. The results of data analysis showed that mangrove ecosystem area in Lembar Village is categorized as suitable to be developed as mangrove ecotourism at three stations with value of ecotourism suitability index of 77.78%, while at two stations are categorized conditionally suitable with ecotourism suitability index of 42.22%. Carrying capacity of the area is 2337 people/day with tourist attractions consisting of mangrove tracking (33 people/day), fishing (137 people/day), picnic (1620 people/day), camping ground (542 people/day) and bird watching (6 people/day). Utilization of area based on suitability and carrying capacity is needed to maintain the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems and the economy of coastal communities.

Causes of domestic livestock–wild herbivore conflicts in the alpine ecosystem of the Chang Tang Plateau

Studying the causes of human–wildlife conflicts is important for reducing these conflicts. Human–wildlife conflicts can be divided into wild carnivore- and wild herbivore-related conflicts. Compared with carnivore-related conflicts, herbivore-related conflicts such as domestic livestock–wild herbivore conflicts (LHCs) have not been adequately studied, and there is scarce information on LHC intensity, causes, and impacts. LHCs frequently and extensively occur in the alpine ecosystem of the Chang Tang Plateau, China. Herbivorous wildlife competes with livestock for forage and habitat, which degrades the ecosystem, influences community livelihood, and decreases residents’ tolerance of wildlife. This study analyzed LHC causes in this plateau by focusing on forage competition, wild herbivore habitat and grazing land overlap using a comprehensive carrying capacity analysis method and niche Maxent model by integrating field surveys, statistical data, and remote sensing data. By integrating the domestic livestock with herbivorous wildlife into carrying capacity analysis, the stocking rate was 110%, which was 10% over the carrying capacity threshold. Overlap between wild herbivore habitat and domestic livestock grazing land was high, with Tibetan antelope ranging in 88% of the grazing land and domestic livestock grazing activities in 39.2% of Tibetan antelope habitat. Pasture fencing aggravated LHCs by fragmenting herbivore habitats and obstructing Tibetan antelope migration routes. LHCs in this plateau could be mitigated by extending the existing wildlife-related damage compensation scheme to cover wild herbivore-related damages, optimizing pasture fencing layout, diversifying community livelihood, and popularizing community-based wildlife management.

Alternative foundation for reducing building losses due to foundation failure in soft soil

Much damage to buildings occurs in areas that have soft soil layers due to the failure of the foundations. Besides, foundations in soft soils generally require very expensive construction. For this reason, proper research needs to help develop strong foundations that can be used on soft soils with relatively low cost. In this research, foundations with various diameters and depths were tested on soft soil. The foundations were made of PVC pipes with diameters of ½ ", 1", 2 " or 2.5" and the same depth. Soft soil in the form of clay with particle-sizes that passed filter No. 200 was used. Before testing the foundations, carrying capacity analysis was done using the classical method on each pipe with a closed head so that the optimum carrying capacity of each foundation (PVC Pipe) was known. From this test the influence of the size of the foundations on the carrying capacity of soft soil could be seen. The results of this research will help reduce building loss/damage in areas dominated by soft topsoil
