Download or read book The Power of Change written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity, supplied reliably and affordably, is foundational to the U.S. economy and is utterly indispensable to modern society. However, emissions resulting from many forms of electricity generation create environmental risks that could have significant negative economic, security, and human health consequences. Large-scale installation of cleaner power generation has been generally hampered because greener technologies are more expensive than the technologies that currently produce most of our power. Rather than trade affordability and reliability for low emissions, is there a way to balance all three? The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies considers how to speed up innovations that would dramatically improve the performance and lower the cost of currently available technologies while also developing new advanced cleaner energy technologies. According to this report, there is an opportunity for the United States to continue to lead in the pursuit of increasingly clean, more efficient electricity through innovation in advanced technologies. The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies makes the case that America's advantagesâ€"world-class universities and national laboratories, a vibrant private sector, and innovative states, cities, and regions that are free to experiment with a variety of public policy approachesâ€"position the United States to create and lead a new clean energy revolution. This study focuses on five paths to accelerate the market adoption of increasing clean energy and efficiency technologies: (1) expanding the portfolio of cleaner energy technology options; (2) leveraging the advantages of energy efficiency; (3) facilitating the development of increasing clean technologies, including renewables, nuclear, and cleaner fossil; (4) improving the existing technologies, systems, and infrastructure; and (5) leveling the playing field for cleaner energy technologies. The Power of Change: Innovation for Development and Deployment of Increasingly Clean Energy Technologies is a call for leadership to transform the United States energy sector in order to both mitigate the risks of greenhouse gas and other pollutants and to spur future economic growth. This study's focus on science, technology, and economic policy makes it a valuable resource to guide support that produces innovation to meet energy challenges now and for the future.

Book Sustainable Power Systems

Download or read book Sustainable Power Systems written by Nava Raj Karki and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with quantifying and analyzing the risks associated with sustainable energy technology growth in electric power systems, and developing appropriate models and methodologies to mitigate the risks and improve the overall system performance. The rapid increase in the installation of renewable energy sources in electric power systems has given rise to a wide range of problems related to planning and operation of power systems to maintain quality, stability, reliability and efficiency. Additionally, there is a growing global environmental concern regarding increasing emissions from the electric power generation required to meet rising energy needs and support sustainable and inclusive development. The phenomenon of low voltage ride through (LVRT), common to wind energy systems, is discussed, and ways to tackle the same are proposed in the first chapter. Subsequent chapters propose methods of optimizing a sustainable and smart microgrid, and supplying electricity to remote areas of a developing country with no immediate possibility of national grid extension. The economic benefit and technical challenges of forming localized minigrid are also discussed. The book proposes a method for reliability assessment of a power grid with sustainable power transportation system. The issue of weak link in power system is very important as it will provide the system operators and planners to take necessary measures to strengthen the system. An approach to determine the weak parts of the system and its unreliability is proposed. With increasing installation of HVDC power transmission and development of efficient and low cost power electronic devices, the DC microgrids are becoming a common phenomenon. Their existence together with AC Grids result in Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids, which are discussed in this book. It further presents a method for reliability evaluation of a distribution system with network reconfiguration in the presence of distributed generation. The important problems in sustainable energy growth, and their potential solutions discussed and presented in the book should be of great interest to engineers, policy makers, researchers and academics in the area of electric power engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you fascinated by the complex web of electrical power that illuminates our modern world? Do you want to understand the intricate systems responsible for delivering electricity to our homes, businesses, and industries? Look no further than Electric Power Distribution System Engineering, Fourth Edition by renowned author Turan Gönen, revised and updated by Chee-Wooi Ten and Ali Mehrizi-Sani. This captivating book takes you on a journey through the fascinating realm of electric power distribution, offering a comprehensive yet accessible exploration of the engineering principles, technologies, and practices that underpin this vital aspect of our daily lives. Whether you're a curious non-specialist, an avid reader with a thirst for knowledge, or a librarian or bookseller seeking an invaluable resource, Gönen's masterwork will both enlighten and captivate you. An early leader in the academic market, this book provides an overview of classical planning for electric power distribution systems, which has been used for many years in designing and analyzing electric power distribution systems. The authors have taken a bold initiative to update the content, incorporating relevant aspects reflecting the advancements of today's evolving smart grid. Within its pages, readers will discover detailed discussions on the principles of power distribution, including the fundamentals of power generation, transmission, and distribution. The authors provide detailed explanations of the various components and equipment used in distribution systems, such as transformers, circuit breakers, switches, and protective devices. As part of the book, planning for the distribution network involves sizing and considering candidate geographical locations/regions in relation to the capacity of existing infrastructure, allowing for new additions to be built. For example, this includes locations either extending another feeder from distribution substations or building new distribution substations, depending on what makes more sense. Many assumptions have been made for non-existing distribution feeders to calculate ballpark figures for determining voltage profile and power losses if they were to be constructed. Readers will gain insights into how these considerations translate into net positive, net negative, or net-zero loads. All of these aspects can be gradually integrated with renewable energy sources, innovative grid technologies, and distribution automation over time. The authors involved in this book have made significant contributions to the state-of-the-art development by incorporating recent updates from the literature, thereby addressing the latest advancements. One remarkable feature of Turan Gönen's Electric Power Distribution System Engineering is its strong focus on practical applications and real-world scenarios. In addition to providing theoretical knowledge, the book also offers numerous examples that effectively bridge the gap between theory and practice. This unique approach enables readers to comprehend the intricacies of distribution system engineering and apply their newfound knowledge to solve complex problems in the field. By seamlessly blending theoretical foundations with practical insights, Gonen's book emerges as an indispensable resource for aspiring engineers, professionals, and researchers, as it offers a comprehensive understanding of electric power distribution systems and their practical implications.
