Energy Distribution Articles & Analysis

Ion-surface interaction plays a key role in several technological plasma applications such as physical and chemical sputtering, thin film deposition, surface modification, or ion implantation. For a systematic investigation of ion-induced changes in surface properties, a controllable, monoenergetic ion flux to the surface is required. To allow for surface treatments of conducting and ...

The knowledge of neutron flux distribution in different parts of the research reactor is very important both for the design of experiments and for the reactor safety. Knowing the neutron flux profiles, reactor operators can optimise the irradiation conditions and select the positions most adaptable to the desired applications. Transport calculations can often give useful information about the ...

Irregular development among regions is one of the fundamental realities of China, especially in social and economic progress. Moreover, there is no exception in the development of population and energy. In this paper, we explore the characteristics of the seven most prominent patterns of regional population?energy development distribution. Furthermore, analysis is made of problems associated with ...

Development of an energy allocation model will help in the proper allocation of the energy sources in meeting the future energy demand in India. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a fuzzy-based linear programming optimal energy model that minimises the cost and determines the optimum allocation of different energy sources for the centralised and decentralised power generation in ...

In the early 1990s, Brazil started a debate about the role of the state in the economy in general, and the energy sector in particular. A major privatisation process of state assets began in which energy, and in particular the electricity utilities, were earmarked for special attention, given their monopolistic structure and perceived low productivity and inefficiency. Thus, the privatisation of ...

Renewable energies are gaining their market share, reflecting on improved economic feasibility; however, most renewable energies, except for wind, hydro, and biomass, are still costly energy options compared to conventional energy sources. In this activity, developments of economic indices will be explored, and can be used as criteria in prioritizing development and deployment of renewable ...

This paper discusses an integrated framework for cost allocation of energy losses of electric distribution systems under liberalised energy markets. As key contribution is developed an allocation strategy based upon Locational and Uniform Incremental Prices. The locational incremental prices send efficient economical signals to distributed generators with incentives for loss minimisation and ...

This paper proposes a methodology for sitting and sizing wind distributed generators (WDGs). These generators are characterised by an uncertain active power production due to the random behaviour of the wind speed. The uncertain generation directly impacts the network total generation cost and also the solution for the placement and sizing problem. So, this work takes into account this uncertain ...

Pharmaceutical giant has laid out a guide to help the company reach its goal of a carbon neutral value chain by 2050. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) laid out a road map last week aimed at guiding the company towards its goal of a carbon neutral value chain by 2050. This follows the GSK’s recognition in its 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report that it’s an ambitious target, and that it ...

Renewable energy sources and distributed generation play a crucial role in supporting the European Union's key policy objectives of combating the greenhouse effect. In order to bring about a substantial long-term penetration of distributed energy resources in Europe, one of the most important future challenges seems to be the management of the integration of fluctuations in electricity production ...

The probabilistic distributions of wind speed are a critical piece of information needed in the assessment of wind-energy potential, and have been conventionally described by various empirical correlations. Among the empirical correlations, the Weibull distribution has been most popular due to its ability to fit most accurately the variety of wind-speed data measured at different geographical ...

The fundamental theorems of welfare economics are not designed to represent the real world. Instead, they tell us about certain conditions under which general equilibrium will be efficient. This paper introduces a new concept 'biased equilibrium' based on information economics and consolidates neoclassical economics and institutional economics together. In the real world economy, the probability ...

The solar powered steam power plant is a mini power plant that is meant to generate power at the location of the consumer hence playing a pivotal role in distributed power generation. This plant will also have a huge impact on the environment as it utilises the sun's energy, making it eco–friendly and reducing its impact on the environment by reducing the amount of fossil fuel consumption. In ...

This paper investigates some of the reflectivity characteristics that clouds (when modelled as solid bodies) must exhibit to be compatible with observations that the reflecting surface of a cloud (i) appears almost equally bright across its face, (ii) is brightest when the cloud is opposite to the Sun but decreases in brightness as the cloud moves to other positions and (iii) increases in ...
