The future of power generation in Estonia
Since 2004, Estonia has been a member of the European Union. With the Treaty of Accession the terms and conditions were set for the Estonian energy sector for compliance with the EU legal acts and the objectives of energy and environmental policies: 1) increase of the share of electricity produced from renewables; 2) opening of the electricity market; 3) bringing the oil shale based power ...

On limits for wind power generation
The amount of wind power in the world increases fast. The background for this development is improved technology, decreased costs for the units and an increased concern of the environmental problems of competing technologies such as fossil fuels. For the future, it is now interesting to evaluate where the limits are for wind power generation, and which points are crucial. Since there is no power ...

Exergoeconomic optimisation of a Kalina cycle for power generation
It is shown that the use of an ammonia-water Kalina absorption power cycle as a bottoming cycle for a cogeneration plant may result in an economic advantage. This cycle was optimised using as a goal function the exergoeconomic unitary cost of the electricity produced by both the cogeneration plant and the absorption cycle. The Zoutendijk method of feasible directions was used for this ...

Research on joint generation scheduling of cascade hydro plants in the dry season
As more and more reservoirs are built, concentrated water releasing in the dry season will bring about additional flow compensation and the joint operation of cascade hydro plants is quite important. This paper discusses the water level decline strategy of four cascade hydro plants in the Jinsha River and analyses the relationship between guaranteed output and total power generation. ...

Biomass power generation in China
“China is an agricultural country,” said Frank Miao. Farmers used to burn harvest waste, and the government decided to capture this energy by constructing a biomass power plant. At the end of 2006, the total biomass power generation capacity in China was approximately 2,200 megawatts (MW). The planned capacity of biomass power plants is 30,000 MW by 2020. Depending on the size of the plant, ...

Energy and touch-information for body-worn ubiquitous computing
Addressing a key issue in ubiquitous computing and power generation, this paper presents several novel techniques that use the human body itself as an energy resource for power generation and as a biological data network. Particularly focusing on power from human walking, we conducted comprehensive studies determining and comparing critical factors such as efficiencies and power generation levels ...

Optimal placement of multi-type FACTS devices to enhance Total Transfer Capability using Improved Evolutionary Programming
An Improved Evolutionary Programming (IEP) is proposed to determine the optimal placement of multi-type Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices for maximising Total Transfer Capability (TTC) of power transactions. IEP simultaneously searches for types, locations, and parameters of FACTS devices, real power generations in source area, real power loads in sink area, and generation bus ...

Prime Power Generation - Case Study
A national electricity grid must always be able to meet the needs of its users. This requires it to be: stable, maintaining the required electrical frequency (50 Hz in the UK); balanced, continuously matching supply to demand; and adequate, ensuring total generation capacity is never outstripped by demand. Grid supply is split into three tiers: base, intermediate, and peak load. Baseload is a ...

Integrated GTL power-generation technology: the optimal solution to natural gas exploitation in Nigeria
Nigeria has an estimated 187 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves. Almost 50% of annual associated gas produced is flared or re-injected for enhanced recovery. Currently, the preferred option for exporting stranded gas is liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, the world LNG market is relatively small compared to middle distillates, and strongly driven by long-term and high risk ...

Why the IBEW supports expanding nuclear power generation in the USA
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) represents workers, many who work in the utility and power generation industries. The IBEW has been and continues to be a vocal supporter of the expansion of nuclear power generation in the USA. Five years ago, there was a general expectation that nuclear capacity would expand greatly. It did not, and in part the absence of more new ...

Power generation in MFCs with architectures based on tubular cathodes or fully tubular reactors
Tubular cathodes provide a method to obtain high surface areas for scaling up microbial fuel cells (MFCs), but the importance of the cathode shape is not known. We therefore examined power production using cathodes in various configurations (tubes or flat). The MFC with a single internal carbon cloth tube cathode (71 W/m3) produced more power than previously obtained with an ultrafiltration ...

Spin Ice Revolutionizing Power Source Generation
A recent discovery has enticed physicists to begin to reorder their understanding how energy particles behave after a thrilling find where a magnetic equivalent has been found to actually be able to create a particle charge much along the same lines as electricity. Spin ice, as its known, creates single controlled bursts of charges much the same as electricity, with similar behaviors and ...

Comparative exergy analysis of ammonia–water based Rankine cycles with and without regeneration
Power generation systems using an ammonia–water mixture instead of water as working fluid have attracted much research interest over the past 20 years, since they have a potential to convert more energy in low–grade heat source into power and to improve the power generating processes in several ways. In this work comparative exergy analysis based on the second law of thermodynamics is carried out ...
