This study presents analysis of the current status of energy demand of agriculture sector of Punjab, which is associated with agricultural inputs and farm operations. It also included past trends and future scenarios in order to reduce the future energy demand. A computer based software called Long Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) is used to estimate total energy demand of agric...

This is a particularly difficult period for Americans, as we struggle with internal economic and fiscal challenges even as we continue to take stock of our place in the post-9/11 world. But take stock we must. And as we do so, one of the most elusive challenges that we face is coming to terms with the cultural dimension of our encounter with the Muslim world. Even now, as we skirmish over issue...

introduction despite the abundant renewable energy sources, the iranian energy sector relies almost entirely on fossil fuel energy resources. power sector is dominant source of co2emissions and responsible for about 35% of total co2 emissions in the country. additionally, long-term electricity demand of iran is expected to grow quickly, which in turn requires extensive investment to meet the gr...

knowledge of energyconsumption has many uses in industry. factors that are energy dependent have already been studied hence decision making on them are easier. energy demand studies of industry helps us to learn factors that are responsive to this demand. therefore planners can use these collected data in their decision making using the above factors. another use of energy demand can be used as...

This paper deals with the optimal operational strategy of a reverse osmosis (RO) plant for remote sites. The electricity supply to these plants comes usually from renewable energies (wind and solar), when they are not temporarily available, they are complemented by a diesel generator and batteries. The water demand of small settlements in arid regions suffers strong variations along a day. As t...

Electricity demand varies daily, weekly, and seasonally. The cost and price of electricity to meet the peak demands can be an order of magnitude greater or more than the cost and price of electricity at times of minimum demand. Nuclear systems are capital intensive, with low operating costs relative to those for most other methods used to produce electricity; thus, nuclear energy is most compet...

Nowadays generation capacity in traditional grid depends on fossil fuels and contributes significantly to the increase of pollution emission. In deregulated grids in addition to using demand response programs (DRPs) to reducing the cost of electricity production, peak clipping and improve reliability use of green Plants such as hydro plant, wind plant become widespread. In a smart grid, end use...
