This document discusses the concept of neighborhood energy stations that would provide power and heat to local areas using ammonia. A typical station would house 1-1.5 MW generators running on ammonia with 45% power efficiency and up to 85% total efficiency when combined heat and power are considered. Stations would have 30,000 gallon underground ammonia tanks supplied by truck 3 times per week. With conservative assumptions, a 1.5 MW generator could generate $1.7 million in power revenue and $0.1 million in heat revenue annually, for a profit of $0.4-0.8 million per year. Stations could help integrate renewable energy and provide grid services like power reserves and black start capability.

* We have a technology called the VIRTUAL PIPELINE TECHNOLOGY (VPT) - captures flared gas, stranded gas, associate gas (dry or wet - explained in the slide) at any given pressure, processes it, transport and supply the gas at the preferred discharge pressure. Our tubes carries a minimum of 550mscf (could carry more if the road is good and can take the weight). It can also pick up gas from existing pipelines and deliver gas to pipeline disconnected areas.
* Modular Power Plant (minimum of 1.5MW) and can be co-generated (power and steam/hot water).
INSIGHT: building a gigantic MW plants that will take 4 - 5 years to achieve also not considering where the source of feedstock is has been a major problem in West Africa.
Meanwhile, TEI can build modular plants (1.5MW each) 6MW plants + VPT within 6 - 9 months and could have 100 different locations (600MW) over a period of time serving numerous locations, and make the return on your investments within a year or 16 - 18 months as the case may be (depending on the distance from feedstock and discharge pressure) yet achieving the same purpose (or even more) in a significant less amount of time as any stand alone 500MW which will just be concluded in the 4th or 5th year talk less of when the breakeven point will be.
Also, if one station goes out, it does not affect the other 99 plants/stations hence providing light/electricity to a wider range. Another better advantage of our VPT and modular plants and why we are better than any product on earth as of today. So robust, you can deploy in the rural areas.
* Modular Gas Storage - For contingent supplies, we can build modular storage facility (such as a farm tanks) with storage capacity of 7.5mmscf/d and could increase in the same module. It is very scalable in that, other than the fact that we can move it from a location to another, we could also convert the modules to a gas transportation/supply cylinders attached to trucks.
* Modular Gas Separator - used to extract by-products of natural gas in small quantities. Methane to power turbines, Propane for cooking, Butane, LNG, etc. are other by-products we can help monitize...
These are reasons why we are a SOLUTION to the Gas, Power and Energy sectors and looking forward to providing a solution to the existing problems.....
NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
1. Ammonia Neighborhood Energy Stations
Opportunities, Markets, Issues
Dr. Steve Wittrig
Senior Advisor, Advanced Energy Systems
Clean Air Task Force (www.catf.us)
tswittrig@gmail.com
2. Assumptions
• Stationary IC engines running on ammonia, designed and run for zero
emissions including low NOX (not requiring NOX control) (prototype –
Sturman engine)
– Installed cost - $700 / kw, up to 1.5 MW
– 45% power efficiency; +40% useable energy for heat/AC in CCHP
• Ammonia at $250/tonne, Zero Carbon Ammonia at $350/tonne
• Rectifier/Inverter Power Electronics Microgrid Controller - $100 /kw
• 24/7, 99% available, ultraclean, high quality power sold at $150 per mWh
• Onsite, ultraclean heat/MP steam/AC sold as byproduct at $6/MMBTU
2
3. • A typical high volume gasoline station can easily dispense 1.5 MM gallons of multiple
grades of gasoline/diesel in a year.
• This case examines a ‘neighborhood’ ammonia energy station of approximately the
same scale that could provide power and heat to the neighborhood (or condo or office
building or village or light industrial or retail complex).
• This station would house a diesel genset/CHP unit running on ammonia. The prototype
for this is a 1.5 MW generator operating at 45% efficiency, designed for combined
heat/power taking efficiency up to 85% for medium pressure steam/space and water
heating and adsorptive air conditioning.)
• The general complexity of these stations would be less than a gasoline station (single
grade, dispensed almost entirely (hardpiped) to the genset(s) instead of retail interface
with hundreds of transactions to untrained public per day).
• A typical tank size for ammonia distributors is 30,000 gallons. Underground, chilled
tank for safety, security and ease of temp/pressure maintenance.
• Fuel delivery logistics would be similar (11,500 gal tank trucks (typical size ammonia
trucks)).
• Very rough project costs - $1.0 MM for ammonia IC genset(s), $0.15 MM for microgrid
controller, $0.15 MM for underground tank and land. Roughly $1.5 - $2 MM.

Neighborhood Energy Station
4. • With 3 truck deliveries per week (1.75 MM gal ammonia/year), a 1.5 MW engine
can be supplied 85% of the time. The unit would be available 100% of the time
(minus maintenance) and could be run at the cost of more frequent ammonia
deliveries. At $250/tonne, 1.75 mm gallons of ammonia costs $1.0 MM. At
$350/tonne for zero carbon ammonia, the cost is $1.4 MM
• Running 85% of the time (7450 hrs/yr) produces 11,400 mWh and 35,000 MMBTU
of CHP heat (40% of the MMBTU’s in the 1.75 mm gal of ammonia)). We will
assume conservatively that 17,500 MMBTU of that heat would be effectively used
or sold.
• Power revenue – 11,400 * $150 = $1.7 MM per year
• Heat revenue (at 50% sales) – 17,500 * $6 = $0.1 MM per year
• Margin $1.8MM - $1.0 MM = $0.8 MM
• Margin $1.8MM - $1.4 MM = $0.4 MM (for zero carbon power)
• Baseline operation, conservative prices, 85% operation, 50% sales of heat = $0.4 -
$0.8 per year on $1.5 - $2.0 MM investment.

Neighborhood Energy Station Base Operations
8. • Easily accommodate local variable renewable solar or wind by cutting back genset
(with immediate local load following). Feed DC solar directly prior to inverter. Feed
variable frequency wind power into rectifier.
• Pass through solar/wind or ammonia power and ancillary services to the grid. 24/7
availability of peaking power (125% of genset rating typical), frequency regulation,
voltage support, black start.
• Provide predictable, centrally addressable reserve available on 5 minute call-up (with
right incentives and minimally sophisticated ‘smart grid’ controls) (much cheaper and
much more flexible than spinning reserve CCGT)
• Provide distributed and potentially very substantial regional fuel reserve for mid-
winter, late summer, regional security (much cheaper (pseudo-‘free’) than natural
gas storage and much more flexible). 30,000 gallon underground tank of ammonia
provides about 200 MWh of electricity (45%) and 600 MMBTU of CHP heat (40%),
Over 5 days of continuous operation.
• Locally addressable loads via microgrid controller and locally optimized agreements
on load priority, demand shedding (e.g., house by house incentives on high
thermostat setting when grid power sales are very lucrative).
• Easily integrated systems for local DC loads
8
Neighborhood Energy Station - Microgrid
9. Compare to Battery Storage
• 30,000 gal underground tank (similar to gas station) stores about 200
MWh and 600 MMBTU CHP heat.
• About $100,000 capital cost.
• Cost of Li-ion battery storage - $500 /kWh – (2 mWh storage = $1.0 MM)
• Batteries 10X higher cost for 1% of energy storage (This does not even
account for battery replacement every 10 years and no byproduct heat)
• Dispatch available at full power (1.5 MW) for 5.5 days
• Much longer life (genset versus batteries)
• Gensets require more maintenance
• Recharge of 5 days capacity takes about 15 minutes with scheduled
deliveries
• Zero carbon ‘recharge’ from ammonia delivery (does not use local excess
power to manage local peaks/valleys). Accesses lowest cost excess
power in region.
9
10. Compare to Natural Gas Genset
• No need for gas supply
• No new pipelines required (multi hundred million $ projects, 5 year
projects from negotiation thru gas flow, political/public opposition)
• Purchase fuel from multiple sources rather than prices set by pipeline
operations
• Reduced exposure to single source price volatility
• Not subject to pipeline/compressor failure (accident, earthquake,
terrorism)
• Very low cost local storage of energy (5.5 days of operation without refill)
compared to expensive cavern storage backed up by LNG
• No CO2 emissions
• Low/No NOX
• Can be operated in urban or suburban areas
• Access to $1.50 - $2.00 / MMBTU Stranded Gas for $250/tonne
contracted ammonia
10
11. • One 80 tonne rail car – 225 mWh and 700 mmbtu coproduct heat
• Deliver anywhere in 500 mile radius for $40/tonne ($3200/railcar)
• For power – 1.5₵ / kWh delivered (with no credit taken for heat)
• No transmission/conversion losses on lines and transformers
• Stored power dispatched as needed
• Flexibility by region/customer, by season, by unanticipated demand
• Responds to regional growth and economic activity
• Inter regional pipelines are much cheaper and safer than gasoline, crude
oil or gas pipelines (liquid (pumps, not compressors), less explosive, less
environmental risk from spill, no GHG (e.g., CH4), one component
(cleaner, more predictable, simpler maintenance))
• Move utility scale power from remote areas with low cost, clean power to
large markets (desert solar, Wyoming/Texas wind, Marcellus gas, Alaska
gas, Iceland geothermal, Canada hydroelectric)
11
Compare to Transmission/Distribution Infrastructure
12. • Sell 15% of power capacity to high value peaks, 2000 mWh * $250/mWh = $0.5 MM
• Island economies that must generate their power from fuel oil (Hawaii, Caribbean,
Alaska, Indonesia). Fuel oil is $30-$40 per mmbtu.
• Medium scale distribution/retail (frozen/refrigerated foods), light industry and
agriculture utilizing refrigeration, medium pressure steam or drying (e.g., crops) that
place high value on the associated heat)
• Regions that place high value on pure water (exhaust from ammonia Sturman
engine is water and nitrogen. Pure water can be captured at the cost of condensing
the water.) Combustion of 1.75 MM gallons of ammonia generates about 1.7 MM
gallons of water.
• They will be very attractive to sites willing and able to pay large premiums for locally
controlled, uninterruptible power (financial/business centers, server farms,
hospitals, military/government installations, large research facilities/research
universities)
• Regions that are imposing a cost on CO2 emissions can reduce or eliminate those
costs. Clean Power Plan. State Plans.
• Grid ancillary services. Load following, Peak power, Voltage/frequency regulation,
Locational value, Black start
12
Neighborhood Energy Station (Upside Revenue Potential)
13. • Initial infrastructure for ammonia IC engines for buses, delivery trucks, taxis,
government vehicles etc for superclean transport in cities (much cheaper than CNG
or electric, or hydrogen).
• Clusters of microgrids in cities for larger scale integration into district heating,
cooling, demand management and integration of renewables.
• Consolidate delivery infrastructure for urban clusters. Low cost pipeline networks to
deliver ammonia to microgrids throughout a region from central depots. Reduces
truck traffic, labor, transfer/collision risk. Improves inventory flexibility and supply
chain efficiency.
• Incremental targeted investment in clean energy production that produces its own
revenue (unlike large generation plants on spinning reserve, pipelines or HVDC).
Very good size for financing by utilities or municipalities (or for partnerships with co-
ops or third party turnkey or service providers). Opportunity to break the impasse
between utility and local investment and control in grid/power modernization and
management of grid balancing with renewables.
• A base for on site production of H2 for Fuel Cell Vehicles.

For the Future, Basis for Other Systems

Local Energy Station Dispensing 1.75 Mm Gals Per
Year Of Ammonia
A typical high volume gasoline station can easily
dispense 1.5 MM gallons of multiple grades of
gasoline/diesel in a year. This case examines a
‘neighborhood’ ammonia energy station of
approximately the same scale that could provide
power and heat to the neighborhood (or condo or
office building) in an urban environment. This station
would house a diesel genset/CHP unit running on
ammonia. The prototype for this a gas-driven genset
(delivered on 40’ trailer, 1.5 MW generator operating at
42.5% efficiency, designed for combined heat/power
taking efficiency up to 75% for medium pressure
steam/space and water heating and adsorptive air
conditioning.)
The general complexity of these stations would be less
than a gasoline station (single grade, dispensed
almost entirely to the generators instead of retail
interface with hundreds of transactions to untrained
public per day). But tank volume, general regulatory
requirements and fuel delivery logistics would be
similar.
The average weekly volume would be about 35,000
gallons. We can ‘design’ for 40,000 gal/week peak
usage. A typical tank size for ammonia distributors is
30,000 gallons. So, with one 30,000 gal tank (installed
underground for safety, security and ease of
temp/pressure maintenance), we could operate with
three a week deliveries from 11,500 gal tank trucks
(typical size ammonia trucks). I’m sure the logistics
can/will be optimized beyond that, but this will do for
illustration.
30. Low Carbon Ammonia
(And Front End For CCS)
• Ammonia plants emit pure (sequestration-ready) CO2. Approximately 2/3
is pure. With current technology, the rest is flue gas from the reformer.
• There are active markets to purchase CO2 for enhanced oil recovery.
• Ammonia plants built close to EOR fields can sell their waste CO2 to be
sequestered in oil fields after use. EOR technologies exist for complete
CO2 sequestration at low incremental cost. (co-injection with N2)
• This co-product value can reduce production cost for eventual fuel use.
• These operations will also supply a great deal of experience and
technology for carbon capture and for CO2 transportation and
sequestration.
• This will serve as a bridge while “green ammonia” technologies from
renewables, hydro and nuclear energy are optimized for a decarbonized
ammonia energy system for power and for liquid fuel for transportation.
