Spatio-temporal characteristics and decoupling relationship of new-type urbanization and carbon emissions at the county Level: A case study of Zhejiang Province, China by Yiqun Wu, Congyue Zhou, Xingyu Lai, Yonghua Li, Liting Miao, Huifang Yu

“…Concurrently, the collective NTU in these counties has witnessed a rapid increase, with a growing disparity in NTU levels and a concentration of higher NTU primarily in the northern regions. (2) From 2007 to 2021, the decoupling relationship between NTU and CE in Zhejiang's counties evolved from suboptimal to significantly improved, ultimately achieving continuous optimization, with the proportion of counties in the “strong decoupling II” category increasing to 60.7% in the final phase. (3) The most significant influencing factors for decoupling evolved from economic NTU predominance in 2007 to societal NTU in 2012, and further progressed to population NTU in 2022. (4) Informed by the types of decoupling and evolutionary factors, we propose strategies and implications aimed at fostering the high-quality, synergistic development of NTU and CE. …”

Gradient-based wind farm layout optimization with inclusion and exclusion zones by J. Criado Risco, J. Criado Risco, R. Valotta Rodrigues, R. Valotta Rodrigues, M. Friis-Møller, J. Quick, M. Mølgaard Pedersen, P.-E. Réthoré

“…This parameterized representation of boundary locations allows for a continuous optimization formulation. A limitation of the method, if combined with gradient-based solvers, is that wind turbines are placed within the nearest polygons when the optimization is started in order to satisfy the boundary constraints; thus the allocation of wind turbines per polygon is highly dependent on the initial guess. …”
