The energy insecurity, environmental pollution, climate change and even reduced rainfall in some countries are prime examples of consequences of the world’s excessive reliance on fossil fuels. This study suggests that in some southern islands and coastal areas of Iran, two such problems, namely the growing shortage of potable water and air pollution can be addressed by building a wind-p...

IDENTIFICATION OF GOOD PRACTICES IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS By Haibo Chen Submitted to the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering on January 27, 2005 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nuclear Science and Engineering ABSTRACT This work developed an approach to diagnose problems and identify good practices in the operation of...

precise identification of the risks of power plants as a part of a comprehensive safety analysis is recommended by monitoring organizations. assessment and risk management techniques in industrial activities through the use of preventive approach to identify hazards , assess and control safety - health risks unit is studied. in this study, risks and effects of abadan gas power plant were studie...

28 I n practical terms, the project’s goal is to construct and operate a tokamak experiment which can confine a deuterium-tritium plasma in which the α-particle heating dominates all other forms of plasma heating. Formally, the primary mission of the ITER project is to demonstrate sustainment of a DT plasma producing ~500 MW of fusion power for durations of 300 500 s with a ratio of fusion outp...

The objective of this program is to design, construct operate, test, and evaluate a prototype integrated monitoring and diagnostic system for a nuclear power plant. It is anticipated that this technology will have wide application to other complex systems (e.g., fossil power plants, chemical processing plants, and possibly air traffic control systems). Over the past decade, the University of Te...

In January 2012, the Sierra Club and the Kosovo Institute for Development Policy (INDEP) issued a report entitled Re-evaluating Kosovo’s Least Cost Electricity Option (Sierra Club/INDEP Report). 1 This report evaluated the World Bank’s proposed Kosovo Power Project, as described in the Bank’s December 2011 study, Development and Evaluation of Power Supply Options for Kosovo: A Background Paper ...

This project proposes a voltage stability for an interline photovoltaic (I-PV) system. In an I-PV system, the inverters in a PV plant are reconfigured in such a way that two or more distribution networks / feeder are interconnected. The I-PV system is operated as a flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) device STATCOM to regulate the point of common coupling voltage on either feeder. One of th...
