A new indicator, called the renewability index, was then defined and quantified by exergy to evaluate the benefits of substituting fossil fuel utility facilities with solar utility facilities.
The renewability index of the biodiesel production process with solar utility facilities is 99.9%, 10.5% higher than that with fossil fuel utility facilities.
The results reported in this paper indicate that the unfavorable environmental impacts of the biodiesel production process also deserve attention and the impacts can be eliminated by using solar utility facilities.
Further analyses reveal the environmental benefits from the significant reduction of the expected annual CO2 emission and carbon tax by about half of the current utility facilities in the region.
To reduce the unfavorable environmental impacts of the biodiesel production process, a novel process on an 8000 t a−1 scale with solar utility facilities was designed and simulated using Aspen Plus.
In order to investigate the compatibility as a power utility facility, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) had installed a 22.9 kV, 1250 A, 100 m long high temperature superconducting (HTS) power cable system.
The recent design and synthesis model by Seid and Majozi (2013) is extended to incorporate the design of the associated utility facility, since it is proven to result in better design objective and computational efficiencies.
In this paper, a retrospective OOM (i.e., Systems Information Model (SIM)), for the E&I systems of a utility facility, which was constructed for an Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor for the purpose of undertaking a constructability assessment prior to the commencement of construction is presented and discussed.
Utilities could store Amber 363, a synthetic diesel used as an alternative to natural gas by the Orange County Central Utility Facility and UC Irvine gas turbine cogeneration plants, he said, adding that Amber 363 doesn't produce significant emissions.
Forecasts of threats to the population, utilities, facilities and technological processes of generation, transportation, energy consumption and utilization, depending on changes in the state of their security under the influence of natural, technological and anthropogenic factors. 5.
Mr. Talbott held two days of talks here after a move by Japanese officials last month to cut payments to the United States to cover the costs incurred by American military forces in Japan, for labor, utilities, facilities, maintenance and training.
