At the moment all over the world there is an acute problem of solid municipal waste (MSW) management. A significant number of studies in recent years devoted to this topic are reduced to predicting the volume of waste generated in urban agglomerations with the subsequent construction of logistics schemes. However, the authors of these studies consider the total amount of waste generated per capita within the municipalities with the subsequent extrapolation of the obtained analytical or statistical data in order to make predictive estimates, for which, in these studies, the corresponding mathematical relationships are given. The study of the influence of the development processes of the territory, together with the assessment of the formation of MSW from various groups of objects within the urban agglomeration and the subsequent planning of the development of this agglomeration, as well as the model for the formation of logistic schemes, are not fully presented. The dependencies proposed for the assessment by various researchers are not always adaptive, since in most cases, the authors of the studies are not interested in the criteria affecting waste generation, but in the very fact of the possibility of predicting the construction of logistics schemes for waste management. Therefore, this paper analyzes the volume of MSW education in educational institutions, using the example of the city of Moscow (Russian Federation) in various construction options. The authors take into account: the degree of population of the study area, and integrally, in the volume of MSW formation - the processes of internal interdistrict migration; food system built in an educational institution, waste generated by the staff of these institutions. As a result, the authors concluded that already at the planning stage of the development of an urban agglomeration, from the standpoint of waste generation from accompanying social facilities, preference should be given to more concise construction schemes (for example, “infill” construction), while for uniform loading of processing (recycling) facilities should be allocated to the modes of operation of preschool educational institutions and schools in time.

Flexibility resources are the sources of the ability to service the system’s flexibility requirements over a given time scale. Under the power market environment, the price plays the role of economic levers, closely linking the multiple links of source-net-charge-storage, and fully tapping the flexibility potential of resources within the system. Flexibility resources are extended from the traditional generator side units to the complex system with multi-dimension and multi-time scale. Therefore, this paper takes the flexibility demand of power system as the starting point, takes the life cycle of physical flexibility resources as the main line, and studies the unified system of flexibility resources from the aspects of flexibility measures and callable resources.
