Presentación sobre "Agua y Energía: Problemática y soluciones" por Tomás Sancho, Consejo Mundial de Ingenieros Civiles, en la Conferencia Anual 2014 de ONU-Agua en Zaragoza. Preparando el Día Mundial del Agua 2014: Alianzas para mejorar el acceso, la eficiencia y la sostenibilidad del agua y la energía. 13-16 de enero de 2014.
Presentation of a mock environmental impact statement (EIS) written as a student semester project. The EIS was written by the fictional company Pacific Environmental Assessment Coalition regarding placement of a wind farm on Kauai Island, HI.
Demand response programs across the country have many large facilities considering the deployment of energy storage technologies. Technologies developed for facility- and campus-scale energy storage show promise for managing short-term demand peaks as well as longer-period demand response events.
The presenter has investigated facility/campus-scale energy storage for efficiency program administrators in the US and recently completed a storage technology research report for an international consortium of utilities. This work has identified promising avenues for distributed storage. Currently, facility-scale storage has three primary uses: 1. power quality – the monitoring and regulation of voltage fluctuations, frequency disruptions, and harmonic distortions, 2. bridging power – short-term power supply for critical demands, often used to cover time periods in which emergency generators are powering up, 3. energy management – energy storage on a scale to support a facility/campus for extended periods of time. These systems can be responsive to utility demand programs and time-of-use rates to cut peak demand costs.
This presentation will include the technical properties of current storage systems, including flywheel, compressed air, and various battery technologies. The technical and market barriers associated with distributed storage, along with proposed paths for resolving said barriers, will also be discussed.

LENR technology could dramatically expand future reserve-based debt financing opportunities in the global oil & gas industry.
Key take-aways:
- Ultralow energy neutron reactions (LENRs) are new type of clean, green CO2-free nuclear energy source that has huge energy densities, vastly lower costs versus fission or fusion, and could enable truly sustainable economic growth.
- Development and utilization of LENR thermal sources for process heat could help reduce upstream and downstream costs for oil & gas producers and significantly decrease CO2 emission footprints for the entire oil & gas industry.
- Should be possible to develop green LENR fuels derived from aromatic fractions present in oil, coal, and biomass as well as C-aromatics produced from natural gas; these would be suitable for use in many applications that include stationary/portable power generation and vehicular propulsion.
- Oil & gas companies that successfully employ technology to produce LENR fuels for sale to customers can: (1) exploit a major strategic diversification opportunity to expand beyond their present product lines and (2) greatly enhance their capacity for RBL debt financing as a result of very substantial increases in net present economic value of their proven fossil fuel reserves.
- Existing crude oil refineries could be modified to add capabilities for production of LENR fuels in parallel with traditional industry products.
- Not competitive; LENRs are a strategic opportunity for oil & gas companies.

Over the past 15 years, Australia’s renewable energy market has continued to attract massive interest from
Developers, Contractors, manufacturers, governments and local and international investors. This reflects global
energy trends driven by factors such as a push for diversification of energy sources and asset classes,
government incentives for clean energy technology developments and, importantly, the decreasing cost of
electricity from renewable energy sources.
The renewable energy industry in Australia is well-established and mature for some technologies (eg wind,
rooftop solar PV), developing in others (eg utility scale solar PV, solar thermal/CSP and hybrid solar) and at
commercialisation stage in others (eg geothermal, wave).
At this time of increasing market interest and development, it is relevant to consider key issues and market
trends in the construction, operation and regulatory aspects of projects, and critical bankability considerations
relating to each of these issues. While this paper focuses on issues that are of most interest to project Sponsors
and Lenders, many of these considerations are equally relevant to Contractors. This paper considers these
issues in the context of utility scale solar and wind projects in Australia.
Why Use Renewable Energy?
Viable Alternative
Fossil fuel are more expensive
Environmental concerns/Green Technology and sustainability
Multiple/limitless fuel to turn a Renewable Energy Infrastructure like wind, solar and wastes
Increase range of Technologies
Cost effective than its alternative

Here is the latest FAQs for the OPM Data Breach, provided by the Department of the Navy. As the OPM Data Breach is under federal investigation, this is an ongoing document that will continue to be updated as more information becomes available. Current questions/answers may be found at www.opm.gov.
Summary - In April 2015, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) became aware of a cybersecurity incident affecting its systems and data that may have compromised the personal information of current and former federal employees. The breach pre-dates OPM’s adoption of tougher security controls.
Since the incident was identified, OPM has partnered with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine the impact to current and former to Federal personnel.
Between June 8 and June 19, OPM will send notifications to those individuals whose personal information may have been compromised. OPM estimates that up to 4 million individuals may have been impacted.
In the course of the ongoing investigation into the cyber intrusion that compromised personnel records of current and former federal employees (announced June 4), it was discovered that additional OPM systems were compromised. These systems contain information related to background investigations. OPM, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are working as part of an ongoing investigation to determine the number of people affected by this separate intrusion. OPM will notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised as soon as practicable.
OPM will offer impacted individuals 18 months of credit monitoring services and identity theft insurance through CSID® – a company that specializes in identify theft protection and fraud resolution. The 18-month CSID® membership will be offered to those individuals identified by OPM at no cost.
Since the investigation is on-going, additional exposures may come to light; if this occurs, OPM will conduct additional notifications as necessary.

Striving For
Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Ma-
bus outlined five aggressive energy goals to
reduce the Department of Navy’s consump-
tion of energy, decrease its reliance on for-
eign sources of oil, and significantly increase
its use of alternative energy. The purpose of
these energy goals is to improve our combat
capability and to increase our energy security
by addressing a significant military
vulnerability -- dependence on foreign oil.
In an effort to meet those energy goals and
to minimize the environmental impact of
operations, Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY)
and other installations throughout the region
have launched “green” initiatives.

Solar Power
In December of 2012, Navy Facilities Command (NAVFAC) completed
installation of the single largest ground mount photovoltaic (PV) array in
the Eastern United States at Naval Station Norfolk. At 10 acres, it is also the
largest PV project in Virginia.
The solar farm contains more than 8,600 panels, each bolted onto steel
stilts in a marshy field called Monkey Bottom, just outside the fence line of
Norfolk Naval Station. “Together, they can generate up to 2.1 megawatts
of electricity— enough to power 200 homes,” said Michelle Perry, project
manager for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). That’s
only about 2 percent of the electricity required to run the Naval Station Nor-
folk, the largest of its kind in the world, “but you have to start somewhere,”
Perry said.
The project works towards SECNAV’s goals that by 2020, at least 50 per-
cent of shore-based energy requirements will be met by alternative sources;
50 percent of Department installations will be net-zero. Solar power doesn’t
lead to any harmful emissions during operation unlike fossil fuel based tech-
nology so it is often considered a more efficient method to power. Though
there are chances of pollution with solar power, it is more environmentally
sound.
Part of a Navy-wide initiative, solar power has made its stand all over the
world including the east coast and plan

Environmental Impacts
NNSY received the Sustained Distinguished Performance at Model Level
Award from the Elizabeth River Project (ERP) in 2014. The award is cur-
rently featured hallway heading to the Shipyard Commander’s office in
Building 1500.
Notable reasons for the award were the new electroplating facility, which
has been performance tested and proven to fall below the regulatory emis-
sions limits for chrome plating by a factor of 10; dust covers on containers
which are used to temporarily cover volatile organic materials, preventing
excess emissions and extending material integrity; changes to freeze pro-
tection practices which instead of using running potable water to prevent
freezing, systems have now been installed with heat tape, reducing water
consumption and chlorine discharged to river; LED lighting in the parking
lots reducing energy demand/consumption; and the growing of 6,000 more
oysters to be placed on the Paradise Creek Oyster Reef this year.
This is a annual reward that has been given to NNSY for years and actions
are being taken for the 2015 grant as of now.
What Can You Do?
Be sure to turn off any unused
electrical appliances and turn off the light when
leaving a room.
Email correspondence rather than
sending a fax or hard copy. Proofread
documents on screen before printing, make
double-sided copies, and make sure your of-
fice is recycling properly. Additionally, instead
of recycling that old one-sided printout, use the
blank side for scratch paper or cut into pieces to
use for notes.
Think before you throw away. Recycling diverted
85 million tons of material from disposal in 2010
alone.
Shopping bags - Do you opt for paper or plastic
when at the grocery store? Neither is a good choice.
Twelve million barrels of oil were used to make the
88.5 billion plastic bags consumed in the United
States last year. Try using reusable shopping
bags.
