Inflexible performance or technology standards targeting CO2 emissions reductions from existing coal power plants would force investors to either retrofit units with CO2 emissions control equipment or retire them. However, at present neither retrofit nor replacement technologies are ideal. Investments happening today will reduce demand for breakthrough electricity generation technologies that m...

Large-scale electrochemical energy storage (EES) can contribute to renewable adoption and ensure the stability of electricity systems under high penetration energy. However, commercialization EES industry is largely encumbered by its cost; therefore, this study studied technical characteristics economic analysis presents a detailed levelized cost (LCOS) for different technologies. The results s...

The ever-increasing operational cost of geographically distributed datacenters has become a critical issue for cloud service providers. In order to cut the electricity cost of geographically distributed datacenters, several workload management schemes have been proposed, such as Electricity price-aware InteR-datacenter load balancing (EIR), which reduces the electricity cost of active servers b...

Combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) units can be integrated with conventional separate cooling, heat, and power production units to meet demands. The goal of this study is to develop and examine a hybrid GA-heuristic optimization algorithm for solving the unit commitment problem for integrated CCHP-thermal-heat only system with considerations for electricity boiler. When environmental emis...

Regarding the bridging of existing gap around economic assessment waste-to-energy (WTE) conversion technologies in Pakistan, this study performs a techno-economic energy generation through both thermal and biochemical processes. The levelized cost electricity (LCOE) serves as fundamental parameter for analyzing viability these processes their comparison with other Based on results, essential co...

We assess the implications on long-run average energy production costs and emissions of CO2 and some criteria pollutants from coupling wind, solar and natural gas generation sources. We utilize five-minute meteorological data from a US location that has been estimated to have both high-quality wind and solar resources, to simulate production of a coupled generation system that produces a consta...

Electricity has been produced in Norway hydropower plants since 1877. The first wind power plant was put into operation 1986. growth production weak the years after turn of millennium, but joined Swedish subsidy scheme Tradable Green Certificates 2012, there significant industry. While most is owned by public sector, majority foreign investors. Since very much discussed Norway, a levelized cost...
