I am here today to report on the findings of a recent study that I helped manage and conduct, a study titled “Easing the Natural Gas Crisis: Reducing Natural Gas Prices Through Increased Deployment of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency.” This study explores the relationship between renewable generation and energy efficiency investments and natural gas prices. As I will describe, the report ...

In this brief, constrained multi variable model predictive control (MPC) strategy is investigated for a GE9001E gas turbine power plant. So the rotor speed and exhaust gas temperature are controlled manipulating the fuel command and compressor inlet guide vanes position. A nonlinear model is introduced using conventional mathematical models and ARX identification procedure as gas turbine plant ...

in this paper, a recurrent fuzzy-neural network (rfnn) controller with neural network identifier in direct control model is designed to control the speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine in a combined cycle power plant. since the turbine operation in combined cycle unit is considered, speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine should be simultaneously controlled by fuel command ...

Demand response for electrical power networks is a mature field that has yielded numerous efficiency and resilience benefits like managing the peaks valleys of electricity usage, reduction in peak to name few. However, only recently study counterpart demand electric natural gas started receive similar levels attention. Natural systems are increasingly operating at or near capacity, which challe...

Gas demand is made of three components: Residential, Industrial, and Thermoelectric Demand. Herein, the one-day-ahead prediction each component studied, using Italian data as a case study. Statistical properties relationships with temperature are discussed, preliminary step for an effective feature selection. Nine "base forecasters" implemented compared: Ridge Regression, Gaussian Processes, Ne...

there are many potential sources of stormwater pollutants in urban areas; one of these sources is gas stations, which are numerous and spread city-wide. a study was conducted to evaluate the water quality of runoff from gas stations in the city of tijuana, mexico. pollutant loads in runoff from gas stations in the study area were higher than in other published studies. the estimated loads from ...

The main objective has been to describe different cases of the methanol production from steel-work off gases (Coke oven gas and Basic oxygen furnace gas) and biomass based synthesis gas. The SSAB steel mill in the town of Luleå, Sweden has been used as a basis to analyze four different methanol production cases. The studied biomass gasification technology is based on a fluidized bed gasifier un...

Most discussion on the future of the market for internationally traded gas focuses on the ‘swing towards Asia’. Specifically, China and India, the world’s two most populous nations, are frequently highlighted as major drivers of future demand. Yet, there is considerable ambiguity over the assumptions underpinning this observation, particularly with regards to India. The reason for this lack of ...
