Energy is a major determinant of economic growth and these deficiencies can have a direct impact on EU growth, stability and the well being of Europe’s citizens. Energy supply security, mitigating climate change and economic competitiveness are therefore main drivers for energy research, within the context of sustainable development - a high-level EU objective ~ European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Projects 2002-2006 By Directorate-General for Research, Sustainable Energy Systems * Publisher: Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, 2006 * Number Of Pages: 188 * Publication Date: 2006-09 * Binding: pdf European Commission Directorate-General for Research Information and Communication Unit Europe’s energy supply is characterised today by structural weaknesses and geopolitical, social and environmental shortcomings, particularly as regards security of supply and climate change. Whilst energy remains a major component of economic growth, such deficiencies can have a direct impact on EU growth, stability and the well being of Europe’s citizens. These three elements provide the main drivers for energy research, within the context of sustainable development, a high-level EU objective ~ Clean Coal Technologies in Japan Technological Innovation in the Coal Industry By New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) * Publisher: New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) Number Of Pages: 116 * Publication Date: 2006-12 * Binding: pdf Preface Electric power generation Coal consumption Total primary energy supply GDP CO2 emissions Thermal power generation efficiency CO2 emissions/GDP The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and the Japan Coal Energy Center (JCOAL) have jointly prepared this guide as a review of the history of "Clean Coal Technology (CCT)" in Japan, to systematically describe the present state of CCT insofar as possible, and to provide useful material for novel technological innovation. NEDO and JCOAL hope this brochure will be helpful in elucidating why Japan’s CCT is an attractive technology in the ever-increasing complexity of coal utilization owing to global warming and other environmental issues. NEDO and JCOAL also hope this brochure will encourage rapid progress in CCT development and the foundation of innovative clean coal utilization systems. As described herein, CCT development in Japan has reached the world’s highest level of technological superiority, making the technology highly attractive to Asian countries that depend on coal as an energy source. In Japan, coal consumption has rapidly increased since 1998, with gross thermal power generation efficiency increasing from approximately 38% to 41% over the past dozen or so years. In addition, emissions of CO2, SOx and NOx per generated power unit from thermal power plants are far below the level of other industrialized countries. In this regard, CCT is expected to become standardized worldwide, satisfying both economic and environmental requirements by reducing CO2 emissions and maintaining GDP growth. Technological innovation has no boundaries; significant progress can be attained sustainably and progressively. Patient, consistent efforts to build on technological developments can support a continually evolving society. NEDO and JCOAL are confident this publication will contribute to CCT development and we look forward to the emergence of dramatic technological innovations in the coal industry ~ The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind Author: Peter Janssen Summary Describing in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves, this book discusses ocean wave evolution in accordance with the energy balance equation. An extensive overview of nonlinear transfer is given, and the role of four-wave interactions in the generation of extreme events as well as the effects on ocean circulation is included. The volume will interest ocean wave modellers, physicists, applied mathematicians, and engineers ~ Spacecraft Power Technologies (Space Technology) ISBN: 1860941176 Author: Anthony K. Hyder Ronald L. Wiley G. Halpert Donna Jones Flood S. Sabripour Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company Publication Date: Number Of Pages: 380 SPACECRAFT POWER TECHNOLOGIES by A K Hyder (University of Notre Dame), R L Wiley (Booz, Allen & Hamilton Inc.), G Halpert (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), D J Flood (NASA Glenn Research Center) & S Sabripour (Lockheed Martin CPC) Spacecraft Power Technologies is the first comprehensive text devoted to the technologies critical to the development of spacecraft electrical power systems. The science and engineering of solar, chemical, and nuclear systems are fully examined together with the constraints imposed by the space and thermal environments in which the systems must operate. Details of present technology and the history that led to the current state-of-the-art are presented at a level appropriate for the student as a textbook or the practicing engineer as a reference. * Environmental Factors * Solar Energy Conversion * Chemical Storage and Generation Systems * Nuclear Systems * Static Energy Conversion * Dynamic Energy Conversion * Power Management and Distribution * Thermal Management Readership: Students and professionals in engineering (electrical, aerospace and mechanical). "While there are numerous books and other literature on spacecraft electrical power systems, there are no comprehensive single references describing the enabling technologies used in spacecraft power systems. This book fills that need ... it provides the basics for understanding, which lends itself as a good textbook in a specialty power engineering course." IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine ~ Superconductivity ISBN: 0521562953 Author: J. B. Ketterson S. N. Song Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: 1999-02-13 Number Of Pages: 512 Description This is a text on superconductivity, an area of intense research activity worldwide. The book is in three parts. The first covers the London, Pippard and GinzburgSHLandau theories, which are used to discuss a wide range of phenomena involving surface energies, vorticity, the intermediate and mixed states, boundaries and boundary conditions, the upper critical field in bulk, thin film and anisotropic superconductors, and surface superconductivity. The second part discusses the microscopic theory of Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer. The theory is used to discuss quasi particle tunneling and the Josephson effects from a microscopic point of view. The final part of the book treats nonuniform superconductors using the BogoliubovSHde Gennes approach with which it is possible to extract many important results without invoking Green's function methods. This text will be of great interest to graduate students taking courses in superconductivity, superfluidity, many body theory, and quantum liquids. It will also be of value to research workers in the field of superconductivity |
