Solar Energy Costs and the Struggle for Grid Parity
The price of manufacturing solar panels has dropped significantly in the past decade, and installation has risen as dramatically as prices have fallen. Yet the cost of solar energy varies from state to state and country to country, why? Even though solar panels are cheap to manufacture, the cost of financing, installing and maintaining a system add to the overall price of the product. These ...

Regional differences and convergence of resources carrying capacity: a comparison of nine provinces and municipalities in China
This paper applies an improved resources carrying capacity model established by Huang and He (2012), and estimates a single and composite resources carrying capacity, and uses sigma convergence, beta convergence and club convergence to investigate the dynamics of resources carrying capacity in nine provinces and municipalities in China from 1978 to 2008. Our results show that there exists time ...

Solar`s Time to Rise and Shine.
Photovoltaic efficiency records are being shattered, thanks to recent advances in materials science. Last month, a researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., loaded a postage stamp–sized solar cell onto a tray and placed it under a high-intensity pulse solar simulator. The simulator flashed a 2.5 millisecond pulse of light, and 19 mirrors reflected the photons ...

World Wind Power Poised to Bounce Back after Slowing in 2013
At the end of 2013, the wind farms installed in more than 85 countries had a combined generating capacity of 318,000 megawatts, which would be enough to meet the residential electricity needs of the European Union’s 506 million people. New data from the Global Wind Energy Council show that wind developers built 35,000 megawatts of new generating capacity worldwide in 2013. This was down ...

Blue-Green Opportunities: Energy Efficiency and Jobs Impacts in the U.S. Manufacturing Resurgence
U.S. manufacturing—and the jobs that go with it—have been steadily increasing since 2010. As President Obama mentioned during last month’s State of the Union address, the U.S. economy added 568,000 new manufacturing sector jobs between January 2010 and December 2013. Meanwhile, industry—of which manufacturing is the largest component—reduced its energy-related CO2 ...

Renewable Energy to secure our future
Clean energy is being talked about these years. From private blogs to various commercials, posters and mailings, people everywhere seem to be concerned about it. Even President Obama attached greater importance to a sustainable development than his predecessors. However, clean energy can refer to several subjects. What is clean energy referring to? How does clean energy benefit you? Does clean ...

The Main Application of Coal Briquette Press Machine
The quality of coal directly influences the ratio of briquetting of the coal briquette press machine. Coal is a complicated mixture composed of different high-molecular compounds, which is mainly condensation aromatic nucleus, as well as non-aromatic carbon parts and minerals. Then what is the main application of coal briquette press machine? 1. Waste residue: used as fuel in boiler, as raw ...

Introduction to Solar Energy
Solar energy refers to solar radiation energy. Since the formation of the earth, organism relies on the light and heat provide by the sun to survive. But nowadays, the application of solar energy has been widely paid attentions. In recent years, an increasing numbers of people pay more attention to it not because of its characteristics of the inexhaustible, but also our increasingly scarce oil ...

Linkages among the US energy futures markets
This study investigates the price linkage among the US major energy sources, considering structural breaks in time series, to provide information for diversifying the US energy sources. We find that only a weak linkage sustains among crude oil, gasoline, heating oil, coal, natural gas, uranium and ethanol futures prices. This implies that the US major energy source markets are not integrated as ...

4 Reasons renewable energy is ready for the president’s climate action plan
The White House’s climate action plan aims to transform the U.S. electricity system in the coming decades. The President directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and implement standards to reduce carbon dioxide pollution from power plants, double renewable energy in the United States by 2020, and open public lands to an additional 10 gigawatts of renewable energy ...

A novel approach for modelling of NOx emission reduction in a tangentially fired coal boiler
In this research paper, predictive modelling of NOx emission of a 210 MW capacity pulverised coal–fired boiler and combustion parameter optimisation to reduce NOx emission in flue gas is proposed. The effects of oxygen concentration in flue gas, coal properties, coal flow, boiler load, air distribution scheme, flue gas outlet temperature and nozzle tilt were studied. The data collected from ...

Ensuring Timely Outage Completion with Xcel Energy
Outages are huge, multi-million dollar projects that are crucial to the upkeep and maintenance of power plant assets. Due to the downturn of the economy, companies are cutting back on maintenance budgets. Outage and maintenance managers need to determine the best strategies to execute their outages in the quickest and most cost efficient ways possible. As speakers at the upcoming marcus evans ...

After Record 2012, World Wind Power Set to Top 300,000 Megawatts in 2013
Even amid policy uncertainty in major wind power markets, wind developers still managed to set a new record for installations in 2012, with 44,000 megawatts of new wind capacity worldwide. With total capacity exceeding 280,000 megawatts, wind farms generate carbon-free electricity in more than 80 countries, 24 of which have at least 1,000 megawatts. At the European level of consumption, the ...

The Energy Game is Rigged: Fossil Fuel Subsidies Topped $620 Billion in 2011
The energy game is rigged in favor of fossil fuels because we omit the environmental and health costs of burning coal, oil, and natural gas from their prices. Subsidies manipulate the game even further. According to conservative estimates from the Global Subsidies Initiative and the International Energy Agency (IEA), governments around the world spent more than $620 billion to subsidize fossil ...

Can we do without nuclear?
James Smith, Chair of the Carbon Trust, considers the options for investment in low carbon electricity The euphoric phase on low carbon energy is over. There is no solution that is clean and cheap and always on. Yet we must make major investments in energy. Old coal and nuclear plants will have to close. And climate change has to be tackled or it will result in costly economic damage. So let's ...
