Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated resource plan (IRP) for Portland General Electric (PGE) is developed in this master's project. The IRP is based on capacity expansion modeling for zero-carbon emission scenarios. PGE is a public electric utility based in Oregon and serves around 887,000 customers across a territory of 4,000 sq. miles. The utility's resource mix is currently heavily dependent on natural gas making up almost 50% of its capacity. While the state renewable portfolio standards (RPS) require Oregon power utilities to derive 50% of their generation from renewable sources by 2040, PGE plans to move rapidly into a clean energy mix by investing more in wind, hydro and solar resources. We performed a regression-based load and resource assessment for PGE and estimated a gap of 4350 MW between existing resource capacity and projected load till 2050. With a research goal of achieving zero-emissions by 2050, we model three different scenarios for PGE. The first scenario, a Reference case is based on business as usual operations with a target to achieve the state RPS, the other two scenarios go beyond the RPS and meet a zero-emissions target by 2050. These cases include a High Renewables scenario and a Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) scenario. While the High Renewables scenario considers rapid addition of renewables into the capacity mix, the CCS scenario considers meeting the zero-emissions target by adding CCS technology to natural gas plants. A hybrid fuel with 10% biogas is used in such natural gas-plus-CCS plants. Using data available from U.S. Energy Information Administration, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, we performed optimizations and designed a model to obtain results for the three scenarios. The model considers all key clean energy policies in Oregon and is in alignment with the Oregon Public Utility commission (OPUC) regulations. This includes the Coal Transition Act that mandates all utilities to end coal-based energy by 2035 and no further addition of coal plants after retirement of existing plants. Through quantitative analyses and graphical representations, we compare results from different scenarios and study the impacts of each on the existing system. Results demonstrate significant changes in the energy resource mix, annual costs, retail rate of electricity, curtailment and emission intensity across 2020 to 2050. Based on our results, analyses and conclusions, we propose recommendations to the PGE that may be considered for achieving zero-emissions by 2050.

Subcommittee on Technology and Innovation and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As directed by the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 (P.L. 110-140), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is coordinating an effort to develop a common framework and interoperability standards for the smart grid. The purpose of this hearing is to examine the progress of this effort and discuss how standards affect the development of the smart grid and the deployment of smart grid technologies. Additionally, witnesses will discuss current and anticipated challenges associated with these standards and offer their views on the ability of the current process to meet these challenges and develop standards that will enable the growth of a reliable, efficient, and secure smart grid ... The term "smart grid" refers to modernization of the electric grid to incorporate digital computing, microprocessor-based measurement and control, and communication technology. These technologies will enable greater two-way communication between consumers and electricity providers so that consumers can adjust their electricity usage in response to real-time demand and price information. These technologies will also enable two-way energy transfer ... and will help accommodate widespread use of different types of electricity generation and storage options."--P. 3.

Download or read book Renewable Portfolio Standard written by Tigran Parvanyan and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a policy tool that requires a certain percentage of renewable energy to be included in the portfolio of electricity resources serving a state or a country. The main purpose of an RPS is to foster the development of renewable energy market, increase the energy security by reducing the dependence on the imported energy sources (oil, etc.), and, to provide environmental benefits from using more renewable energy. There are different approaches to the design and implementation of RPS in different states in U.S. and the degree of achieving a success of the policy differs also, depending on the design features. In 2004 New York has enacted an RPS that starts in 2006 and requires provision of at least 25% of electric energy from renewable energy sources by the year 2013. This study analyzes the design and implementation approaches of RPS in Arizona, Hawaii, Maine, Texas, and Wisconsin in order to determine the key design features that lead to a successful implementation of the policy in order to develop recommendations for RPS in New York and in other states that may implement an RPS. In order to evaluate the degree of success in the case-states an RPS Metric System was designed. It evaluates the target setting of the policy, the achievements of the policy and the growth of renewable energy as a result of the RPS implementation. As a result of the conducted study a set of recommendations was designed for consideration by New York state during the scheduled review of RPS implementation in 2009 as well as for other states during the design and implementation of the policy"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government and Ofgem are required to report annually to Parliament on the availability of electricity and gas for meeting the reasonable demands of consumers in Great Britain. This is the second annual report of this title [previously known as "Energy markets outlook"]. This is a technical report focusing on gas and electricity. Other fuels (coal, nuclear fuel, renewables) are also mentioned in the electricity chapter in the context of electricity generation. A chapter on oil is included for completeness though not a statutory requirement. The projection of peak demand for electricity remains at 60GW whilst generation capacity stands at 90.2GW. However, the coming decade will see many changes in the electricity markets, with the closure of a number of coal and oil fired plant that are considered too polluting by modern standards, and nuclear plant that are scheduled to come to the end of their working lives. New plant being built or going through the planning process, and renewable projects will replace the capacity due to close with cleaner technologies, enhance security of supply. The security of gas supply is in the short to medium term broadly benign in the near term, though it is not risk-free. It is the medium to long term that will be challenging. Whilst UK production is forecast to decline, there is an increasingly large and diverse range of import sources on which to draw. The report also looks at the security of supply of oil. Transport accounted for 75 per cent of final consumption of oil products in 2010. Significant reductions in oil demand are not expected over the next 20 years as the transport sector is the main consumer of oil and will continue to be heavily dependent on it over this period. UK oil production is declining and oil imports are forecast to increase in response to this decline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public policy in the United States is marked by a contradiction between the American ideal of equality and the reality of an underclass of marginalized and disadvantaged people who are widely viewed as undeserving and incapable. Deserving and Entitled provides a close inspection of many different policy arenas, showing how the use of power and the manipulation of images have made it appear both natural and appropriate that some target populations benefit from policy, while others do not. These social constructions of deservedness and entitlement, unless challenged, become amplified over time and institutionalized into permanent lines of social, economic, and political cleavage. The contributors here express concern that too often public policy sends messages harmful to democracy and contributes significantly to the pattern of uneven political participation in the United States.
