...analyze and contrast the framing goals and limitations that must be considered when energy master planning is conducted for communities in six different countries. The analyses will be based on findings from countries participating in the International Energy Agency’s “Energy in Buildings and Communities...

This paper deals with process simulation and techno-economic assessment on a bioenergy system for sustainable electricity production from low-grade biomass resources such as forest and agricultural residues, which is suitable for rural areas in developing regions susceptible to intermittent electricity...

...heating and add to the thermal load, which must be removed by the cooling system. These losses must be evaluated in the design of the generator to ensure a sufficient overall efficiency. A major loss component is the hysteresis losses in the superconductor itself. In the high DC - low AC current and magnetic...

Climate change and the needed reductions in the use of fossil fuels call for the development of renewable energy sources. However, renewable energy production, such as hydropower (both small- and large-scale) and wind power have adverse impacts on the local environment by causing reductions in biodiversity...

Anticipating tighter harbour emissions controls and the development of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), PLUG, acronym for Power Generation during Loading and Unloading, is a joint research and development effort supported by the European Commission to develop an innovative, high capacity (up to 25 MW)...

...acute releases to sea and the barriers applied during drilling, workover and subsea production in order to prevent such releases. The report discusses requirements to such barriers on two different levels: (1) on a high level in terms of environmental risk acceptance criteria (ERAC) and (2) on a more detailed...

SINTEF S218AbstractManufacturing of feed horns and waveguide components by plastic injection molding and metallization are considered to be key technologies to make low cost ground terminals feasible. NERA and SINTEF are involved in an ESA project where these technologies are considered for the manufacturing...

Considerable leaching of alkali metals was documented, both in concrete samples exposed to accelerated laboratory testing and field samples. CWE allowed to quantitatively determine the free alkali metal profiles as a function of the depth. However, CWE cannot account for the changes in the paste content...

...low energy buildings (LEBs), passive houses, and zero emission buildings (ZEBs) are national target in Norway. In order to achieve better energy performance in these types of buildings and successfully integrate them in energy system, reliable planning and prediction techniques for heat energy use are...

Norway and the other in the USA, are analysed for their potential to be electrified with overhead line equipment, batteries, hydrogen or hydrogen-battery hybrid powertrains. The energy requirements are established with single-train simulations, including the altitude profiles of the lines, air and rolling...
