Shifting our electricity generation from fossil fuel to renewable energy sources introduces large fluctuations to the power system. Here, we demonstrate how increased fluctuations, reduced damping, and reduced intertia may undermine the dynamical robustness of power grid networks. Focusing on fundamental noise models, we derive analytic insights into which factors limit the dynamic robustness a...

Since the industrial revolution mankind has been dependent on fossil hydrocarbon fuel for a very large proportion of total energy needs. Many of the fluid forms also had lower sulphur content than coal and were therefore more attractive from the environmental impact standpoint. Combustion of sulfur-containing compounds in fossil fuels emits sulfur oxides, which can cause adverse effects on heal...

Over the past 10 years there has been increasing evidence that particles generated by the combustion of fossil fuels adversely affect health. To what extent should paediatricians be concerned about particle pollution? This review assesses what we know, and what we still need to know about the health effects of fossil fuel particles.

Introduction The Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Information Administration estimates atmospheric greenhouse gas releases may exceed 8 billion metric tons by the year 2010 heightening its international environmental concern. Carbon dioxide will dominate the greenhouse gases (Kane and Klein, 1997) and the majority of these results from the use of fossil fuels. With viable replacement of fossil...

The consumption pattern of energy in the United States, like that of other resources, is determined by many variables. Principal among these are price and convenience. The price of energy has been and continues to be a complicated function of physical availability, international politics, government price regulation, import controls, technological innovation, and environmental regulation, to na...

Due to increasing global energy demand and the fact that a major source of required is generated from fossil fuels, combustion process has turned into topic interest in converting fuels energy. An ideal system one can combine high engine efficiency with low fuel consumption emissions. Increasing humidity technique used by researchers for influencing process. The present study aims review previo...
