Collaborative solar powered neighborhoods
… past decade. While decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels will be beneficial for the environment, increasing our exposure to an intermittent renewable resource could have negative consequences on the electric grid. There can be oversupply conditions at midday when PV is outputting at peak …

Electricity Generation Location and Benefits to Human Health: What health benefits can be attributed to RGGI in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania?
… unique dataset of observed generation levels at fossil fuel plants from the year 2000 to 2013, in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. It is estimated that the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) has reduced CO2 emissions in New York State and New Jersey by approximately 4.9 million …

Review of H2S abatement in geothermal plants and laboratory scale design of tray plate distillation tower
… lower emissions in comparison to traditional fossil fuel plants, geothermal power plant emissions can still be substantial. In particular, dissolved non-condensable gases (NCG) such as CO2 and H2S within geothermal fluids have led to increased interest in developing methods for decreasing …

Low-head hydropower as a reserve power source for wind power
… reserve power generation sources burning fossil fuels to maintain reliability of the electricity grid in the event of a decrease in wind. This study proposes an alternative hypothesis: that hydropower turbines installed at low-head dams can provide similar reserve power generation to …

Investigations on Latent Thermal Energy Storage for Concentrating Solar Power
… Secondly, for integration of TES in CSP plants, it is imperative that the cyclic exergetic efficiency be high, among other requirements, to ensure that the energy extracted from the system is at the maximum possible temperature to achieve higher cycle conversion efficiency in the power …

Carbon capture technology for natural gas power plants: selection techniques and implementation strategies for a real-world scenario
… of electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels, including natural gas, which generate Greenhouse gases (GHGs). These GHGs have been linked to significant climate changes that are projected to have far-reaching impacts across the planet if emissions are not drastically reduced. While …

Maximizing nuclear power plant performance via mega-uprates and subsequent license renewal
… United States' commercial fleet of nuclear power plants. This methodology addresses aggressive power uprates and life extensions afforded by advances in the state of the art of nuclear technology. America's commercial nuclear power plants were initially licensed for 40 years. A successful license …
