Optimal Energy & Environment Use by Optimal Control

Abstract:

Issues relating to the environment and energy are becoming increasingly important, and it is necessary to control the use of the Earth’s finite resources by government. This paper focuses on optimal control of the Earth’s resources by using the mathematical models and methods of the Euler equation. The purpose of this is to preserve sufficient amounts of the Earth’s resources for the next generation. Optimized control of the Earth’s resources can provide us with an understanding of the amounts which we can make use of now, and the amounts which we must leave for future generations. Insufficient energy sources can be substituted with green energy or renewable resources. The main contribution of this study is the use of mathematical models and the Euler equation to obtain the optimal solution. An approach of this type can enable governments to protect both the environment and energy supplies.
