Water Efficiency in Thermal power PlantAtanu Maity
Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF)
in its recent notification dated December 07, 2015 on
Environment (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2015 have
notified the following:
I. All plants with Once Through Cooling (OTC) shall install Cooling Tower (CT) and achieve specific water consumption upto maximum of 3.5m3/MWh within a period of two years from the date of publication of this notification.
II. All existing CT-based plants shall have to reduce specific water consumption upto maximum of 3.5m3/MWh within a period of two years from the date of publication of this notification.
III. New plants to be installed after 1st January, 2017 shall have to meet specific water consumption upto maximum of 2.5 m3/MWh and achieve zero waste water discharged.

Water use of thermal power plants equipped with CO2 capture systemsGlobal CCS Institute
The potential for increased water use has often been noted as a challenge to the widespread deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Early studies, that are widely referenced and cited in discussions of CCS, indicated that installation of a capture system would nearly double water consumption for thermal power generation, while more recent studies show different results. The Global CCS Institute has conducted a comprehensive review of data available in order to clarify messages around water consumption associated with installation of a capture system. Changes in water use estimates over time have been evaluated in terms of capture technology, cooling systems, and how the data are reported.
Guido Magneschi, Institute’s Senior Advisor – Carbon Capture, and co-author of the study, presented the results of the review and illustrated the main conclusions.
For the tropical surface ocean waters being the largest thermal
solar collectors and reservoirs in the planet, a solution is
proposed for inexhaustible supply of freshwater by combining
two renewable energy routes through a hybrid offshore
energy farm, ocean thermal energy conversion, and
offshore wind power.
Waste heat recovery from hot gasses in cement industryhannyboi123
This final year project focuses on direct heat recovery in which heat from various units such as the Kiln, Calciner and Clinker Cooler is recovered. For this study, a process model is developed using Aspen HYSYS simulation software, and the model is confirmed against acquired data from the industry followed by calculation of equal fuel saved. The heat recovered from all these units is used to produce superheated steam to run a steam turbine generator which in turn provides electricity to the cement plant. This is an implementation of the Steam Rankine Cycle. This project not only benefits the industry in terms of cost-saving on fuel but also reduces the quantity of toxic hot waste gases. The number of carbon emissions would have increased drastically if coal would have been used instead. The steam turbine was able to generate 14 MW. If this is successfully implemented in all other major industries, a significant amount of non-renewable reserves can be saved for future generations.

Energy and mobility poverty: Will the Social Climate Fund be enough to delive...Leonardo ENERGY
Prior to the current soaring energy prices across Europe, the European Commission proposed, as part of the FitFor55 climate and energy package, the EU Social Climate Fund to mitigate the expected social impact of extending the EU ETS to transport and heating.
The report presented in this webinar provides an update of the European Energy Poverty Index, published for the first time in 2019, which shows the combined effect of energy and mobility poverty across Member States. Beyond the regular update of the index, the report provides analysis of the existing EU policy framework related to energy and transport poverty. France is used as a case study given the “yellow vest” movement, which was triggered by the proposed carbon tax on fuels.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
