Estimation of Productivity in Korean Electric Power Plants: A Semiparametric Smooth Coefficient Model This paper analyzes the impact of load factor, facility and generator types on the productivity of Korean electric power plants. In order to capture important differences in the effect of load policy on power output, we use a semiparametric smooth coefficient (SPSC) model that allows us to mode...

The aim of this study is to analyze the reliability modeling indices and to study the mechanical system of a thermal power plant. The reliability of a system, equipment and a product is very important aspect of quality for its consistence performance over its expected life span. In fact, uninterrupted service and hazard free operation is an essential requirement of large complex systems like el...

The military’s dependence on fossil fuels for electric power production in isolated settings is both logistically and monetarily expensive. Currently, the Department of Defense is actively seeking alternative methods to produce electricity, thus decreasing dependence on fossil fuels and increasing combat power. We believe piezoelectric generators have the ability to contribute to military appli...

This project was developed to need for a system that generates non conventional energy. Energy crisis is one of the major issues worldwide. paper proposes maximum utilization human locomotion energy power generation using Piezo electric sensors. The basic principle was, any vibration or pressure generate between surface and footsteps while walking, converted into transducers. A series connectio...

With the growth of electricity generation from gas energy gas pipeline reliability can substantially impact the electric generation. A physical disruption to pipeline or to a compressor station can interrupt the flow of gas or reduce the pressure and lead to loss of multiple gas-fired electric generators, which could dramatically reduce the supplied power and threaten the power system security....
