Impacts of Wind and Solar on Fossil-Fueled Generators: Preprint

Valuation of fossil fueled power plants with respect to operational constraints

This thesis consists of the implementation of an algorithm (proposed by Tseng and Barz in [1]) for determining the expected payoff of a fossil fueled power plant in Matlab. Physical properties such as decision lead time, unit commitment constraints, output depending fuel to electricity conversion and additional cost for applying controls are included into the plant model. Hourly control of the ...

Potentially carcinogenic species emitted to the atmosphere by fossil-fueled power plants.

The identities and physicochemical characteristics of potentially carcinogenic species emitted to the atmosphere by fossil-fueled power plants are presented and discussed. It is pointed out that many so-called carcinogens are preferentially concentrated on the surface of respirable fly ash particles thus enabling them to come into intimate contact with lung tissues when inhaled. Relatively litt...

Light-Fueled Microscopic Walkers

The first microscopic artificial walker equipped with liquid-crystalline elastomer muscle is reported. The walker is fabricated by direct laser writing, is smaller than any known living terrestrial creatures, and is capable of several autonomous locomotions on different surfaces.

Alternative Fueled Vehicles (AFV)

Introduction Acquisition of alternative fueled vehicles (AFV) within the United States and the Department of Defense is mandated by Federal Legislation and Executive Order. Under these mandates, the Air Force is required to plan, program, purchase, and utilize alternative fueled vehicles and establish access to refueling facilities. The applicable Acts and Orders accomplish two main goals. Firs...
