Romania’s energy sector is poised to increasingly rely on hydro-power, wind, and solar energy. These renewable sources, however, are subject to the unpredictability of wind, sunlight, and drought conditions. This variability places significant pressure on the Transmission System Operator (CNTEE Transelectrica SA), which is tasked with ensuring the safety and stability of the National ...

Project Name: Murphy Phase II Location: Gainesville, FL Scale: 1MW Completion time: October 2012 Annual power generation: 351.92MWh Selling time: April 2015 The Murray Phase II ("MLH2") project, located in Alachua County, Florida,is the first large-scale ground power station project developed and constructed by Hanergy in the United States. TheMLH2 is 1 MW in scale, and the project ...
Since 2015, pv magazine has been recognizing excellence in innovation for solar com-ponents and PV power plant development and operation in the Array Changing Technologies feature and award.In 2017, the award itself has continued to evolve. ...
To attract power plant developers, the government adopted policies like risk-protection guarantees, standardized power purchase agreements and feed-in tariffs — all of which help ensure satisfactory payments for power that is produced. ...

The need to handle sharp evening increases in power consumption — what energy analysts call the “duck curve” of demand — also means power suppliers, already wary of solar power’s potential to reduce their revenues, may continue to invest in fossil fuel-based power plants. The ...
This paper presents power estimation and reliability evaluation of the micro hydro power generation system based on municipal waste water. Self–excited induction generator was used in the developed power plant, situated at IIT (BHU) campus, Varanasi, India. The hydro potential of the waste water flowing through ...
Limited Water for Vast Coal Reserves in China Chinese coal mining and coal-fired power plants already operate under significant water stress, and could face increasing water risks as energy production moves into the water-stressed northern and western provinces. ...
Jordanian officials to discuss role solar can play in their developing energy mix at MENASOL 2013 (14-15 May, Dubai). According to the CSP Today Global Tracker, the use of CSP in Jordan is currently under investigation, “while the country is busy implementing reliable low-cost supply of energy using large, conventional and centrally-located power ...
The method of estimation of thermo-economic factors, allowing the justification of the construction of low capacity coal-based power plants has been developed in the present paper. The C-curve method applied for thermo-economic analysis is used here for determination of the optimal ratio between specific exergetic and cost-performance factors. ...
The energy harnessed by these installations in China is equal to the electricity generated by 49 coal-fired power plants. Other developing countries such as India and Brazil may also soon see millions of households turning to this inexpensive water heating technology. ...
Last week’s announcement of $8.3 billion – and possibly as much as $54.5 billion – in US federal loan guarantees for nuclear power plants sparked debate about risk of default on loans. What are the chances the plants will be built? ...
That means when utilities plan resources, they must secure all cost effective energy efficiency before pursuing power plant development or power purchases. http://www.env-ne.org/*Decoupling. Utilities have little incentive to encourage energy savings if they earn their profits from selling power. Decoupling ...
The introduction of a nuclear power programme as a part of national energy strategy requires a complex consideration of many aspects of national infrastructure. ...
I was at a meeting about three years ago where state energy commissioners and power plant developers were debating new market rules, some to take effect almost immediately, others five years out. ...
The gases in landfill sites that develop during degradation processes, largely contribute to the greenhouse effect and additionally harbour considerable safety and health hazards. However, they are also often rich in methane and therefore a potential energy carrier. In many countries much of this potential for the generation of electricity and heat from landfill gas still exists. Furthermore, ...
This paper presents the pre-eminent features of a new generation of nuclear reactors in comparison with existing generations, such as safety operation, non-release of radioactive materials into the environment under any conditions, non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and suitability for developing countries. The paper also presents some results on the physical features related ...
This paper appraises the current development status of the 700?C steam power plant under consideration of process optimisation as well as design aspects of the steam turbine and steam generator. ...
The growth in world energy demand and future prospects of the decommissioning of existing power plants has stimulated the development of a new generation of nuclear energy systems intended to be more economically competitive, safer and more sustainable. ...
