A methodology is presented for jointly optimizing the wind turbine specific rating and the storage configuration for a large-scale wind farm coupled to compressed air energy storage (CAES). By allowing the wind-storage system to be optimized in an integrated, variable rating framework the...

This paper examines policy and technology scenarios in California, emphasizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2020 and 2030. Using CALGAPS, a new, validated model simulating GHG and criteria pollutant emissions in California from 2010 to 2050, four scenarios were developed: Committed Policies...

A 15-yr research program is reviewed which features field measurements of the energy performance of buildings. Focused studies have been conducted in detached houses, in apartment buildings, and in office buildings; in all cases, physical models developed in the absence of measurement have been...
