Testing for the significance of induced highway travel demand in metropolitan areas
… hypothesizes that highway improvements which add capacity to a specific corridor or regional transportation network will attract increased levels of vehicle traffic. This relationship of highway capacity to travel demand is an important consideration when evaluating how effective highway expansion …

Design of Future Energy Infrastructure: Understanding trade-offs between Renewable Capacity, Storage and Transmission Networks for Low-Carbon Landscape
… and understand the trade-off between renewable capacity, storage, and transmission networks. The results show that the least-cost configuration, achieved when nuclear and battery capital costs fall by 50%, requires approximately $3.25 trillion in new investment - a 37% reduction relative to the …

Optimization of time and location dependent spent nuclear fuel storage capacity
… of the optimal time-dependent spent fuel storage capacity expansion in view of the current economic and regulatory environment which has resulted in phase-out of the closed nuclear fuel cycle. Management alternatives of the spent fuel storage backlog, which is created by mismatch between spent …

Demand‑Driven Decarbonization: Impact of Voluntary 24/7 Low-Carbon Power Procurement
… This study employs GenX, an open-source capacity expansion model, to simulate an electricity market with two classes of buyers. Buyers in one class commit to reduce the carbon intensity of their electricity procurement by some amount, while buyers in the other class procure electricity at …

Effective utilization of flywheel energy storage (FES) for frequency regulation service provision
… a significant portion of new power generation capacity additions. As the outputs of renewable generation resources are function of the climatic conditions at their geographic locations – and over which the resource operators have no control – and the current renewable technologies provide only …

EVALUATION OF LAND, SOIL, WATER, AND VEGETATION-RELATED ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND TRADEOFFS AT UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC FACILITIES
… soils or ones whose carbon and nutrient storage capacity is otherwise compromised. Overall, the field investigation found that the occurrence of some of the environmental co-benefits of co-locating PV with vegetation depended on the climate and soil, prompting a need for case-by-case …
