The Delhi Pollution Case: Can the Supreme Court Manage the Environment?
Judicial activism in the Indian Supreme Court has cre- ated major reforms in the protection of human rights and has put the Court in a unique position to intervene when it sees violations of these fundamental rights. But the Court’s eagerness to right societal wrongs can lead it to take deci- sions that are within the province of executive agencies. By usurping the role of agencies and directing ...

A frequency control method for isolated photovoltaic-diesel hybrid power system without smoothing renewable power variations
In this paper, a frequency control method is introduced for photovoltaic-diesel hybrid system by using a load estimator and an energy storage system. The proposed method is compared with an energy storage based conventional control method and with a fuzzy based frequency control method. Simulation results show that the proposed method is feasible to reduce the frequency deviations of the isolated ...

Exergetic performance investigation of a turbocharged stationary diesel engine
An exergetic assessment is reported of a turbocharged stationary diesel engine with a power output of about 19 MW. The system studied consists of a diesel engine, a turbine, a compressor, an intercooler and a radiator. The sites of exergy destructions are identified and quantified and the exergy efficiencies of various components are determined. The effects of inlet air temperature and pressure ...

What Are the Differences Between Electric and Diesel Powered Scrap Equipment?
Diesel engines may feel like the traditional choice while electric is the trendy new kid on the block, but both have a surprisingly long history — and an equally long list of pros and cons. They are both known for their high torque, making them extremely useful for large, power-hungry machinery like scrap equipment. Electric engines can supply full torque immediately, requiring no idling or ...

Algae fuel being sold for the first time to regular drivers
In what appears to be the first time ever, regular drivers of diesel-powered cars, will be able to fill up their tanks with an algae diesel fuel blend in a few Northern California cities, including Oakland, Berkeley, Redwood City and San Jose. In a collaboration announced on Tuesday, alternative gas station company Propel Fuels says it will offer the algae fuel blend made by Solazyme (s SZYM) in ...
