Energy Efficiency: Efficiency or Monopsony? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 The cliche in the electricity sector, the "cheapest power plant is the one we don't build," seems to neglect the benefits of the energy that plant would generate. Those overall benefits could be countered by benefits to consumers if "not building that plant" was the result of monopsony.

Is There an Energy Efficiency Gap? [PDF]
Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2012 Many analysts of the energy industry have long believed that energy efficiency offers an enormous “win-win” opportunity: through aggressive energy conservation policies, we can both save money and reduce negative externalities associated with energy use.

Energy efficient distillation [PDF]
Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2011 Abstract Distillation is responsible for a significant amount of the energy consumption of the world’s process industry and also in the natural gas processing. There is a significant energy saving potential that can be obtained by applying new energy saving distillation technology that has appeared in the last two decades. The fully thermally coupled

Energy Conversion and Management, 2008 Abstract In this paper, “energy efficiency” studies, done in a big industrial facility’s pumps, are reported. For this purpose; the flow rate, pressure and temperature have been measured for each pump in different operating conditions and at maximum load. In addition, the electrical power drawn by the electric motor has been measured.

Energy-efficient quantum computing [PDF]
npj Quantum Information, 2017 AbstractIn the near future, one of the major challenges in the realization of large-scale quantum computers operating at low temperatures is the management of harmful heat loads owing to thermal conduction of cabling and dissipation at cryogenic components.

Energy efficient synaptic plasticity [PDF]
eLife, 2019 Many aspects of the brain’s design can be understood as the result of evolutionary drive toward metabolic efficiency. In addition to the energetic costs of neural computation and transmission, experimental evidence indicates that synaptic plasticity is metabolically demanding as well. As synaptic plasticity is crucial for learning, we examine how these

Assessing the Energy-Efficiency Gap [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 Energy-efficient technologies offer considerable promise for reducing the financial costs and environmental damages associated with energy use, but it has long been observed that these technologies may not be adopted by individuals and firms to the degree that might be justified, even on a purely financial basis.
