Dynamic Modelling of a Compressed Air Energy Storage System in a Grid Connected Photovoltaic Plant
The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...
متن کاملCompressed-air flow control system.
We present the construction and operation of a compressed-air driven flow system that can be used for a variety of microfluidic applications that require rapid dynamic response and precise control of multiple inlet streams. With the use of inexpensive and readily available parts, we describe how to assemble this versatile control system and further explore its utility in continuous- and pulsed-...
متن کاملVitamins A, E and fatty acid composition of the eggs of caged hens and pastured hens
In the US farmers often market pastured poultry eggs for a premium price, claiming animal and human health benefits. We examined how moving pastured hens to forage legumes or mixed grasses influenced hen (Gallus gallus L.) egg omega-3 fatty acids and concentrations of vitamins A and E. We also compared the eggs of the pastured hens to those of hens fed a commercial diet in cages. We used a cros...
متن کاملImplementing Water-Based Foam Depopulation of Floor Reared Poultry
There are six major steps involved in responding to rapidly spreading poultry disease outbreaks including biosecurity, surveillance, quarantine, mass emergency depopulation, mass carcass disposal, and decontamination. Water-based foam is one of the methods used for mass emergency depopulation during severe disease outbreaks. This project evaluated the logistics of foam depopulation in two exper...
متن کاملMass depopulation of laying hens in whole barns with liquid carbon dioxide: evaluation of welfare impact.
Appropriate emergency disaster preparedness is a key priority for agricultural agencies to allow effective response to serious avian disease outbreaks. There is a need to develop rapid, humane, and safe depopulation techniques for poultry that are widely applicable across a range of farm settings. Whole barn depopulation with carbon dioxide (CO(2)) has been investigated as a humane and efficien...
