Showing papers on "Stand-alone power system published in 1983"
TL;DR: In this article, a simple but powerful numerical generation planning model has been constructed for grids containing wind farms and three classes of thermal power station, but no storage, and the breakeven costs of wind energy in a model British CEGB grid, containing coal, nuclear, oil and wind driven power plant, are evaluated under various conditions.

TL;DR: In the USA, peak-load pricing has been advocated for the sale of electricity and other services in which periodic variations in demand are jointly supplied by a common plant of fixed capacity.
Abstract: Peak-load pricing has long been advocated for the sale of electricity and other services in which periodic variations in demand are jointly supplied by a common plant of fixed capacity. Time-of-use (TOU) electricity rates have been widely used in Europe for several decades to reflect peak-load cost variations. By contrast, in the USA TOU rates began to receive serious consideration only following the 1973–74 Arab oil embargo.2

TL;DR: In this paper, a hot water generator is connected to an electricity-generating high-pressure turbine through piping and changes the warm water from the generator into the hot water in the tank.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable peak-load electricity generation of high efficiency, by storing hot water obtained by heating warm water with steam from an electricity generation unit or with the like, in a tank and by supplying the hot water to an electricity generation system. CONSTITUTION:In a hot water storage electricity generation equipment 1, a warm water tank 3 for storing warm water 2 and a hot water tank 5 for storing hot water 4 are provided. A hot water generator 8 is connected to an electricity- generating high-pressure turbine through piping 9 and changes the warm water 2 into the hot water 4. Under peak load, valves in pipings 21, 28, 30 are opened to start an electricity generation system 10 and pumps 27, 29. At that time, the hot water 4 in the tank 4 is supplied to the electricity generation system 10 to produce electric power. According to this constitution, peak-load electricity generation of high efficiency is enabled and the equipment 1 is made compact to reduce the equipment cost and installation space.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present two quantitative scenarios for balancing global energy supply with demand for the period 1980-2030, showing that during these 50 years there will be a persistent demand worldwide for liquid fuels, a continuing reliance on ever more expensive and dirty fossil fuels, and a limited penetration rate of nuclear generated electricity into the energy market.
Abstract: The results of two quantitative scenarios balancing global energy supply with demand for the period 1980–2030 are reviewed briefly. The results suggest that during these 50 years there will be a persistent demand worldwide for liquid fuels, a continuing reliance on ever more expensive and “dirty” fossil fuels, and a limited penetration rate of nuclear generated electricity into the energy market. The paper therefore addresses a possible “second” grid driven by nuclear heat — a grid based not on electricity but on “clean” liquid fuels manufactured from gaseous and solid fossil fuels using nuclear power. Such a second grid would be an important complement to the electricity grid if the world is to progress towards a truly sustainable energy system after 2030.
