Although thermoelectric technology is little-known in the public domain, it presents an exciting alternative solution many cases where lost heat energy can be quickly recovered to produce electricity. In present paper, attempt undertaken exploit this energy. For purpose, experimental study conducted electricity with effect by utilizing a device placed on parabolic concentrator. The solar tracke...

Electric Power Generation Potential of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) in Abuja, the capital city Nigeria has been studied this work. A pilot study on waste generation activities Galadimawa District Abuja was carried out and results were applied to metropolis as a whole due observed similarities demographics other Districts metropolis. The presently an annual MSW rate 973,557 tons with per capita ...

We study the interaction between a fleet of electric, self-driving vehicles servicing on-demand transportation requests (referred to as Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand, or AMoD, system) and the electric power network. We propose a joint linear model that captures the coupling between the two systems stemming from the vehicles’ charging requirements. The model subsumes existing network flow models...

Electricity is indispensable and of strategic importance to national economies. Consequently, electric utilities make an effort to balance power generation and demand in order to offer a good service at a competitive price. For this purpose, these utilities need electric load forecasts to be as accurate as possible. However, electric load depends on many factors (day of the week, month of the y...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed regulations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing power plants. EPA believes that its proposed Clean Power Plan (CPP) will " protect public health, move the United States towards a cleaner environment, and fight climate change while supplying Americans with reliable and affordable power. " Burning fossil fuels to produce el...

Electric power production in the 21 Century will see dramatic changes in both the physical infrastructure and the control and information infrastructure. A shift will take place from a relatively few large, concentrated generation centers and the transmission of electricity over mostly a high voltage ac grid (Fig. 1) to a more diverse and dispersed generation infrastructure that also has a high...
