Optimal Electric Energy Production scheduling for Thermal-Hydro Electric Power Systems
2009 Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference, 2009A method for optimal electric energy production of thermal-hydro power systems is presented in this paper. The electric energy produced by hydroelectric plants and coal-fired plants is divided into 4 components: potential energy, kinetic energy, water-deep pressure energy and reservoir energy. A new and important concept, reservoir energy, is proposed,

Replacement of Coal by Fracgas in the Production of Electric Power - Yale Graduates in Energy
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011New well drilling technologies, when utilized to fracture common shale formations promise to provide access to very large volumes of gas. Indeed, the trade press and news media have generally taken the position that “fracgas” over the next decade can add up to 800 trillion cubic feet of reserves, four times the current level of reserves, almost equally

Anthropoidal Energy Production: Generating and Harvesting Electricity from Human Power
Architectural Design, 2008AbstractWith the depletion of slavery ‐ large‐scale free, if not cheap, manpower ‐ the potential of human force as a major source of energy was forgotten. Here Ken Yeang flags up how some important new research by scientists from universities in Canada and the US has heralded the development of wearable devices that harvest human energy.

Contribution of green energy sources to electrical power production of Turkey: A review
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2008Green power products may be seen as a means of fostering renewable energy sources (RES) because they create and channel consumer demand for environmentally sound power generation. Turkey also has a large potential for renewable energy exploitation in a number of areas. Clean, domestic and renewable energy is commonly accepted as the key for future life,

IECON 2016 - 42nd Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2016
Point absorbers, i.e. wave energy converters (WECs) whose characteristic dimensions are small with respect to the typical wavelength, are designed to be installed in arrays, in order to get a cost-effective power generation. Starting from a coupled hydrodynamic - electromagnetic model of a heaving point absorber, this paper presents an in-depth ...
