Wps New Concept Overview Presentation 6 14 11 Eragstowealth
American demand for renewable energy has created an opportunity for Wind Power Systems (WPS) to succeed with their new vertical axis low wind turbine. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides tax incentives for wind turbines that help businesses and consumers. WPS is developing a patent-pending turbine that can produce energy from winds as low as 8 mph, addressing residential, commercial, and other applications.
This document discusses solar feed-in tariffs and renewable portfolio standards in Germany and California. It explains that feed-in tariffs set a fixed price that solar producers are paid for electricity, while renewable portfolio standards set renewable energy production quotas and let market prices be determined. Germany pioneered feed-in tariffs in 1991 and California established a renewable portfolio standard in 2002, requiring 20% renewable energy by 2017. Both policies have effectively increased solar power adoption.

Storage system prices have declined by more than 60% since 2012 and are expected to decline by another 30% over the next five years. Historically battery prices drove the bulk of system price declines, but in the future both battery prices and non-battery components like inverters, software & controls, and design, engineering and construction services will drive system price reductions. Where will the market see most savings? How will the vendor landscape evolve over the course of the next five years, as the storage industry collectively targets bringing down system prices further.
Capacity mechanisms for improving security of supply: quick fixes or thoughtf...Université de Liège (ULg)
This presentation discusses future electricity market designs and, in particular, capacity remuneration mechanisms that are needed for new investments and security of supply.
The electricity grid was designed over 100 years ago to always match supply and demand, but this leads to inefficiencies. Grid 2.0 aims to have demand follow supply by incentivizing consumers to shift their usage away from peak times, through time-of-use pricing and technologies that enable automated demand response. As renewable sources like wind power increase to 40% of generation, demand flexibility will be crucial to accommodate the intermittent nature of these resources and reduce curtailment.
Solar + storage deployment has grown exponentially over the course of the last 12 months. Our energy storage experts at Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables will analyze key technology, economic and policy drivers at a global scale for the next three years, explaining why solar + storage is such a key step in enhancing the energy system of the future.

The document describes the 4MD model used by EPE to forecast distributed generation adoption in Brazil. The 4MD model uses a Bass diffusion model approach to project the number of adopters of technologies like PV, wind, and thermal by sector. It estimates the potential market size, then defines adoption rates based on innovation and imitation parameters estimated from historical data. Finally, it distributes projected adopters between technologies based on resource potential and historical shares to estimate installed capacity and generation. The model provides forecasts at a high geographic resolution to help assess policy impacts through 2050.
The document discusses energy storage as a disruptive force in US markets. It notes that US energy storage deployments grew significantly in Q2 2018 compared to the previous year. While ancillary service markets and capacity markets currently do not support energy storage on their own, CAISO stands out as having opportunities for energy arbitrage. The US FTM energy storage pipeline nearly doubled in Q3 2018. FERC Order 841 requires ISOs to establish rules to allow energy storage to participate in wholesale markets. State policies and initiatives are also driving energy storage adoption.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

43. Concept
Mini and microgeneration
According to rules established by ANEEL Resolution nº 482/2012, modified by Normative Resolution
ANEEL nº 687/2015, it is permitted to consumers install small PV generators in their consumer units
and use electric system grid of energy distributor company to inject surplus energy power, that will be
convert in energy credit valid for 60 months. These credits can be used to reduce self energy
consumption of consumer unit in following months or of other consumer units, those need to be
previously registered and served by same energy distributor company, whose owner is the same of
consumer unit with energy compensation system (net metering). Other form to add consumer units is
through enterprise with multiples consumer units or share generation.
Microgeneration Minigeneration
• Install power capacity below 75kWp
• Install power capacity above 75kWp
• And below 3MW for hydraulic source
• Or below 5MW for qualified cogeneration
• Or below 5MW for other renewable sources
Must not trade surplus of energy generated in free energy.
Energy credits are not transferable to another owner.
44. Government incentives
Development of Distributed Generation of Electric
Energy Program (ProgGD)
Tax
incentives
• Exemption of ICMS (Tax on Circulation of Merchandise and Services) under
energy added by consumer to the grid of distributor and not compensate all
consumption. The consumer will be billed ICMS tax only on net energy use from
distributor and will no be able to compensate with energy generated. This
exemption was regulated by Agreement ICMS no 16, April 22nd,2015 - CONFAZ;
• Exemption of PIS/PASEP and COFINS under energy added by consumer to the
grid of distributor and not compensate all consumption. The exemption was
formalized by Federal Law no 13.169, October 6th ,2015;
• Until December 31st ,2016, Importation Tax reduced from 14% to 2% over capital
goods for PV generation equipment's (Resolution CAMEX no 64, July 22nd ,2015,
for ex-tariffs classified in code 8428.20.90).
Financing
• Distributed generation in schools and hospitals: BNDES was authorized by
Federal Law nº 13.203, December 8th ,2015, to provide credit with different fixed
interest rates for energy efficiency projects and for distributed generation from
renewable sources in schools and public hospitals.
