The Oil and Gas Discourse from the Perspective of the Canadian and Albertan Governments, Non-Governmental Organizations and the Oil and Gas Industry

Noga, Jacqueline; Wolbring, Gregor - In: Energies 7 (2014) 1, pp. 314-333

Three of the major players in the discussion of the production of oil and gas are: (1) government; (2) the oil and gas industry and (3) non-governmental organizations (NGOs). A comparison of contributions from these three sources using a list of positive and negative words from the General...

Short-Term Power Forecasting Model for Photovoltaic Plants Based on Historical Similarity

Monteiro, Claudio; Santos, Tiago; Fernandez-Jimenez, L. … - In: Energies 6 (2013) 5, pp. 2624-2643

This paper proposes a new model for short-term forecasting of electric energy production in a photovoltaic (PV) plant. The model is called HIstorical SImilar MIning (HISIMI) model; its final structure is optimized by using a genetic algorithm, based on data mining techniques applied to...

Energy Resources in the Future

Tomabechi, Ken - In: Energies 3 (2010) 4, pp. 686-695

Recent statistics indicate that in 2005 the world consumed about 0.5 ZJ (ZJ = 1021 Joules) of energy. If one assumes that the future world population stabilizes at 10 billions, and the people consume a similar amount of energy per capita to that of the people in the presently developed...

Parabolic Trough Photovoltaic/Thermal Collectors: Design and Simulation Model

Calise, Francesco; Vanoli, Laura - In: Energies 5 (2012) 10, pp. 4186-4208

This paper presents a design procedure and a simulation model of a novel concentrating PVT collector. The layout of the PVT system under investigation was derived from a prototype recently presented in literature and commercially available. The prototype consisted in a parabolic trough...

Assessment of Energy, Environmental and Economic Performance of a Solar Desiccant Cooling System with Different Collector Types

Angrisani, Giovanni; Roselli, Carlo; Sasso, Maurizio; … - In: Energies 7 (2014) 10, pp. 6741-6764

Desiccant-based air handling units can achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy savings with respect to conventional air conditioning systems. Benefits are maximized when they interact with renewable energy technologies, such as solar collectors. In this work, experimental tests...

Optimum Settings for a Compound Parabolic Concentrator with Wings Providing Increased Duration of Effective Temperature for Solar-Driven Systems: A Case Study for Tokyo

Umair, Muhammad; Akisawa, Atsushi; Ueda, Yuki - In: Energies 7 (2013) 1, pp. 28-42

We designed a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) with wings angled toward the east and west. Normally, solar collectors are straight, facing south, and the effective temperature is only achieved for a short period of time at midday. In the proposed design, the collector is divided into three...
