Abstract:
The current approach for developing sustainable communities focuses on implementing new technologies in existing models and analyzing the variation of the energy conversion related to the environmental impact. A better approach is to observe also how this changes can be integrated with the readily available technologies and what is their impact on the sustainability of the affected communities.This paper extends the uses of Basic Network Algebras (BNAs) to handle different energy and entropy fluxes conversions in a unified framework and to assess the thermodynamic limiting efficiencies of this conversions. Using BNAs for the underlying structure provides a powerful algorithmic background with readily available tools that can be used in following the energy flow and providing alternative paths with different efficiencies. Following this construction, the concept of sustainable community is formally defined as well as the concept of community resource sharing and its equilibrium. The constructed theory is used to analyze the implementation of various alternative and renewable energy sources in a residential neighborhood.
