CCS as least-cost options for integrating intermittent renewables in low-carb...Global CCS Institute
Intermittent renewable energy sources (intermittent‐RES) such as wind and solar PV can be a key component of the resulting low‐ carbon power systems, but their intermittency requires more flexibility from the rest of the power system to maintain system stability. In this study, the efficacy of five complementary options to integrate intermittent RES at the lowest cost is evaluated with the PLEXOS hourly power system simulation tool for Western Europe in the year 2050. Outcomes of the study show that amongst the various options to reduce system’s costs one of the most effective is the implementation of CCS at natural gas‐fired power plants.
In this webinar, Machteld van den Broek, Assistant Professor at the Utrecht University, and Anne Sjoerd Brouwer, PhD student at the Utrecht University, presented the method and the results of the study.

Recoup WWHRS: Products overview: New-build and retrofit optionsRecoup WWHRS
Recoup produce a range of SAP-listed, highly efficient Waste Water Heat Recovery systems for Showers (WWHRS) which extract waste heat energy from used shower water in order to pre-heat the incoming cold feed. This simple solution offers one of the best ‘pound for points’ ratios of any SAP measure and is a true ‘fit and forget’ product, and ultimately can save up to 67% of the energy cost each time a shower is used (regardless of heat source).
For new-build residential, WWHRS can simply be used with a 'Fabric-first' approach, often in place of other more expensive SAP measures such as Solar thermal, ASHP, PV or triple glazing, but for a fraction of the cost. It is an ideal option for residential modular build designs as well as student accommodation builds; hotels or leisure facilities.
Furthermore, it requires no complex installation or commissioning; no ongoing or planned maintenance; no end-user interaction; and has no moving or mechanical parts - Just on-demand, passive energy savings with every shower.
C&I customers represent a substantial opportunity for load reduction, but the key is to incentivize projects with excellent performance, economics, and impact. Intelligent LED systems are redefining the lighting category and displacing legacy technologies with proven results.
The webinar, presented by Michael Feinstein from Digital Lumens, will cover the following topics:
• Industrial lighting technology review
• Intelligent LED System overview
• 90% energy reduction – the economics of intelligent LEDs
• Large C&I lighting customers – retrofit & new construction case studies
• Future of intelligent LED lighting
Mike Feinstein is responsible for leading the Digital Lumens sales and marketing teams and has had extensive experience in the entrepreneurial and investment worlds, most recently as Managing Director of Sempre Management. Previously, he was a General Partner at Venrock Associates and Atlas Venture, where he served on the boards of start-ups including Boston-Power, Ciclon Semiconductor (acquired by Texas Instruments), CircleLending, WaveSmith Networks (acquired by CIENA Corp.) and Quantum Bridge Communications (acquired by Motorola).

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

95. Sunny in Arctic Finland
Summer
Projected percentage change in the quantity of solar
radiation reaching earth’s surface (1971-2000 -> 2070-2099)
during the entire year on average.
ACCLIM II-hankkeen lyhytloppuraportti http://ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=f72ce783-0bae-4468-b67e-8e280bec1452&groupId=30106
Kittila
Finland in the -5% region
Possible decrease in solar
radiation accounted for with:
• Store 10% more than we
need
• Additional solar panels
can be installed with
available space
96. Sunny in Arctic Finland
• “High pressures coming from the east sometimes make the Finnish
climate more continental for weeks on end, which means sunshine
and heat in summer...”

97. Protecting Solar PV Against the Weather
Elements
Snow and precipitation can be an issue for blocking solar radiation.
Hestia’s employs a multi-tiered approach:
• Anti-wetting and self-cleaning coating provides frost resistance
• Aggressive tilt angle in winter when snow coverage is an issue
• Winter precipitation removal technology uses small fraction of
energy output[1]
[1] Solar Power World: “Snow No More: Technology Keeps Solar Panels Clean” by S. Bushong
98. Why Solar?
Quick notes:
• The cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source[1]
• No excessive maintenance and management costs[2]
• Minimal environmental impacts[2]
• Increased efficiency in lower temperatures[2]
• Easiest to integrate

[2] Potential of Solar Energy in Finland. Emma Pihlakivi. Bachelor’s Thesis, Turku University of Applied Sciences
99. Why Solar?
Issues with geothermal in Arctic Finland
• Construction requirement and Additional infrastructure
• As much as 830 m of piping must be laid for 18 igloos employing a horizontal ground
coupled system
• Hot water radiation heaters need to be installed in each igloo
• Cost
• Installing heat pump for
ground-heat is 2x the price of
installation for oil or
electricity-based system
• Efficiency
• Supply up to 90% of heating
requirements Geothermal
pipe footprint
100. Why Solar?
Issues with wind power in Arctic Finland:
• Efficient use of wind energy limited to tall turbines (100 m)
• Small wind turbines (6 m height) require large area footprint
• 26 kWh m-2 generated by wind vs 1130 kWh m-2 for solar PV
• Therefore smallest footprint is with 100% use of solar PV
