Editor's Note: The following is a news release authored by Julie Chao and issued by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on April 5, 2017 To meet skyrocketing demand for electricity, African countries may have to triple their energy output by 2030. While hydropower and fossil fuel power plants are favored approaches in some quarters, a new assessment by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence ...
Topics: raw water, blue-green algae, cyanobacteria, taste & odor, treatment savings, water clarity Overview: This Lake serves as a recreational and raw water reservoir, providing about 30% of the total drinking water supply to a large city. The lake, constructed in 1954, is approximately 11,800 surface acres, with a maximum depth of 50 ft, an average depth of 11 ft, and a current capacity ...
A more efficient and less intrusive wind turbine design has been welcomed by two of the UK industry’s biggest critics and government regulators. A new bladeless wind turbine that promises to be more efficient, less visually intrusive, and safer for birdlife than conventional turbines has been welcomed by two of the UK wind energy industry’s most vocal critics. The RSPB and the ...
A comprehensive energy and exergy analysis was conducted for various components of a direct steam generation (DSG) parabolic trough solar collector field under nominal operating conditions to assess performance of the components and to optimally integrate them with a thermal system. ...
