This paper presents the dynamic modeling and simulation of a microturbine generation (MTG) system, the nonrenewable source of energy suitable for isolated as well as grid-connected operation in microgrid networks. A microgrid is defined as an independent low or mediumvoltage distribution network comprising various DGs, energy storages, and controllable loads. The MTG system consisting of a perm...

The paper presents two new results for the Dasgupta-Heal-Solow-Stiglitz model with an essential nonrenewable resource: (1) the pattern of resource extraction can be more important for sustainable growth than the pattern of saving when the Hotelling Rule modifier is not small enough; (2) the qualitative behavior of the long-run per capita output can be examined along any smooth enough path of ex...

INTRODUCTION Present and future world shortages and increasing petroleum costs have stimulated the search for alternate renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. Sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L.) and sugarcane (Saccharum app.) have high potential as a feedstock for conversion to alcohol as a practical renewable energy source. Sugarbeets have many desirable characteristics such as: storage of 40 to...
