CO2-based enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) have been examined from a reservoir-oriented perspective, and as a result thermodynamic performance is well explored. Economics of the system are still not well understood, however. In this study, the economics of the CO2-based EGS technology is explored for an optimized power plant design and best-available cost estimation data. We demonstrate that ...

1 Six new NPPs were connected to the grid in 2000, three in 2001 and six in 2002. Figure 1 summarises world nuclear experience as of December 2002. Looking ahead to nuclear power’s prospects in the new century, four features stand out: 1. New nuclear power plants are not being built fast enough to maintain nuclear power’s 16% share of global electricity generation. 2. Current expansion, as well...

Deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power system reliability assessment. This paper deals with generation reliability evaluation in perfect competition power market using market economic concepts and its dynamic. Also, because of power markets and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used in this research. Generation reliabil...

A vision shAred by mAny experts is thAt future communities (residential and commercial developments, university and industrial campuses, military installations, and so on) will be self-sufficient with respect to energy production and will adopt microgrids. With power generation capacities of 10–50 mW, microgrids are usually intended for the local production of power with islanding capabilities ...

Demand-side energy management systems (EMSs) are expected to be used as a method for further balancing the supply and demand of power systems with high levels of renewable energy generation, such as photovoltaic (PV) power. Energy demand and solar radiation must be predicted to realize the optimal operation scheduling of demand-side appliances by a home energy management system (HEMS), includin...

The term "smart grid" generally refers to a next-generation power grid in which the generation, transmission, distribution, and management of electricity are upgraded and automated by incorporating advanced computing and communication technologies for improving the efficiency, reliability, economics, and safety of the grid. Loosely speaking, a smart grid is composed of a power grid and a two-wa...

in this paper, the 10-minutes period measured wind speed data at different heights (10 m, 30 m, and 40 m) are presented for khvaf, which is one of the major counties with high wind potential in khorasan provinces in iran. to the author’s knowledge, there hasn’t been any assessment works in the mentioned site. from the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the weibull fu...
