EPA's Clean Power Plan: Implementation Options

Peak Electricity and the Clean Power Plan

Complex energy modeling is increasingly central to the development of electricity sector regulations, and perhaps increasingly necessary. But environmental agencies need to remain vigilant to avoid vulnerabilities created when models designed for broad energy system projections are repurposed for the design of detailed pollution control policies. All models are false, some are useful, and by im...

Preliminary study on Electronic Power Assistance Steering (EPAS) systems

According to the document ANR 09 VTT VOLHAND Doc B, presented on October 2011, the research team in Gipsa-Lab is involved into the task 5.2 (T5.2) for the design of the the amplification curves that can be adapted to disabled people. The typical architecture of an Electric Power Assistance Steering (EPAS) system includes a static map to provide the correct amplification to the driver’s exerted ...

Staff White Paper on Guidance Principles for Clean Power Plan Modeling Docket No. AD16-14-000

On August 3, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Clean Power Plan (CPP) under Clean Air Act 111(d). The CPP limits carbon dioxide emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric power plants by providing state specific goals for carbon dioxide emissions from affected electric generating units. As part of the CPP, EPA considered the potential impacts of the CPP on ...
