Abstract:
The production of energy in wind power plants is regarded as ecologically clean because there being no direct emissions of harmful substances during the conversion of wind energy into electricity. The production and operation of wind power plant components make use of the significant potential of materials such as steel, plastics, concrete, oils, and greases. Energy is also used, which is a source of potential negative environmental impacts. Servicing a wind farm power plant during its operational years, which lasts most often 25 years, followed by its disassembly, involves energy expenditures as well as the recovery of post-construction material potential. There is little research in the world literature on models and methodologies addressing analyses of the environmental and energy aspects of wind turbine modernization, whether in reference to turbines within their respective lifecycles or to those which have already completed them. The paper presents an attempt to solve the problems of wind turbine modernization in terms of balancing energy and material potentials. The aim of sustainable modernization is to overhaul: assemblies, components, and elements of wind power plants to extend selected phases as well as the lifecycle thereof while maintaining a high quality of power and energy; high energy, environmental, and economic efficiency; and low harmfulness to operators, operational functions, the environment, and other technical systems. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology to assess the efficiency of energy and environmental costs incurred during the 25-year lifecycle of a 2 MW wind power plant and of the very same power plant undergoing sustainable modernization to extend its lifecycle to 50 years. The analytical and research procedure conducted is a new model and methodological approach, one which is a valuable source of data for the sustainable lifecycle management of wind power plants in an economy focused on process efficiency and the sustainability of energy and material resources.

Abstract:
The Icelandic economy has transitioned from being dependent on fishing and agriculture to having tourism and refined aluminum as its main exports. Nevertheless, the new main industries still rely on the country’s natural resources, as the power intensive industry uses energy from rivers and geothermal areas whereas tourism uses the natural landscape, where geysers, waterfalls and thermal pools are part of the attraction to visitors. Although both industries claim to contribute to sustainability they utilize the same resources, and land-use conflicts can be expected, illustrating the contestation that can occur between different visions and understandings of sustainability. This paper focuses on the attitudes of Icelandic tourism operators towards power production and proposed power plants using data from questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Results show that the majority of Icelandic tourism operators assume further power utilization would be in conflict with nature-based tourism, and they are generally negative towards all types of renewable energy development and power plant infrastructure. Respondents are most negative towards transmission lines, reservoirs and hydro power plants in the country’s interior Highlands. About 40% of the respondents perceive that existing power plants have negatively affected tourism, while a similar proportion think they had no impact. According to the respondents, the two industries could co-exist with improved spatial planning, management and inter-sectoral cooperation.

Abstract:
The paper analyzes the problem of defining the potential of geothermal reservoirs and the definition of a sustainable size of a geothermal power plant in the preliminary design phase. While defining the size of a geothermal plant, the objective is to find a compromise between renewability, technical sustainability, and economic return-related issues. In the first part of the paper the simplified lumped parameter approach based on the First-Order methods and their further evolutions and limitations is proposed. Experimental data available for some geothermal reservoirs are used for critical analysis of the simplified approaches for estimating the renewability and sustainability of the production of geothermal plants. In the second part the authors analyze methods based on theoretical heat transfer analysis supported by experimental data acquired from the geothermal field (thermal properties of the rock, porosity of the reservoir, and natural heat flux) and finally consider the numerical simulation as a method to connect the two approaches discussed before. The sustainability of geothermal power production can be estimated taking into account the energy stored in the reservoir and the thermal and fluid dynamic analysis of the reservoir. From this perspective, the numerical simulation of the reservoir can be considered as an effective method for the estimation of a sustainable mass flow rate extraction. Some specific cases are analyzed and discussed.

Abstract:
Further development of nuclear energy demands an innovative approach. Today electric energy is a main product of most nuclear power plants. However more than 60% of energy produced by NPP is dissipated as heat thrown together with water out into rivers or atmosphere. Production of heat energy on the basis of the nuclear one may become an alternative to the existing methods of atomic power use. Nuclear power plants will work as macro heat power plants thus globally positioning nuclear energy in capacity of the foundational source of clean energy, expanding fields of its use and giving it a higher social priority.

Full text
Abstract:
The function of a flue-gas quench is to remove additional contaminants from flue-gas and to reduce the wastewater from a waste incineration plant. The aim of this degree project is to find how the system is affected by using a quench and what factors limits the performance. This is done by modelling and simulating a waste incineration plant in Aspen Plus. Data and plant schematics were obtained by a study visit to Mälarenergi Plant 6 situated in Västerås, Sweden, which were used as model input and for model validation. The results have shown that the amount of wastewater can be reduced by more than half compared to a plant without a quench. The heat produced in the condenser, when discharging water to the boiler, would be lowered by up to 20%. For systems with a quench present when more water was discharged to the boiler both the heat production and the pollutant capturing became better. However, the system has limits regarding the amount that could be recirculated, in the form of temperature limits in different parts of the system. In addition, if the heat load is low there is an insufficient amount of wastewater generated in the condenser to run the quench. In that situation, clean (fresh) water needs to be used instead. Using clean water is unwanted since the plant will then consume more resources while still producing less heat than a plant without a quench would.

Abstract:
This report focuses on addressing the electricity shortfall in Pakistan with the help of renewable resources. At present, the country is facing a shortfall of almost 7,000 megawatts (MW) which is affecting every walk of life and causing almost 1.5 to 2% GDP loss on annual basis. Previous research done on this subject reveals that electricity demand has always remained high then the total generation capacity of Pakistan. Similarly, it has been pointed out that the country is not taking maximum benefit from its available hydro, solar and wind resources. This leads us to the basic purpose of this research which is to have an exploratory understanding of the strategies adopted by India, China, Brazil and Spain for electricity generation in a green fashion and how can these strategies be implemented  in Pakistan. Case study has been adopted as methodology for this purpose. This research work also discusses the factors contributing in the lack of promotion of renewable energy resources in Pakistan and provide detailed analyses of positive changes these projects can bring in lives of masses in Pakistan. The sustainable management of surface water resource in the country has been discussed in particular as the country faced worst floods in its history during years 2010 & 2011. It will result in enhancing the surface water storage ability of Pakistan which will significantly reduce our dependence on underground water reserves and will directly increase our electricity generation capacity through hydro dams. Similarly, sustainable forest management has been discussed at length as it will not only ensure environmental sustainability but will also result in increase availability of biomass. Not to mention the fact that wood biomass is much cheaper then conventional source of electricity generation provided it is obtained through sustainable forest management. Finally, if all the green strategies discussed in this research work will be implemented, it will increase the overall electricity generation capacity of Pakistan up to 9% respectively.

Abstract:
This thesis identifies the potential threats and impacts posed by climate change on the relationship between water availability and the Polish energy transformation sector. In doing so, the objective is to uncover and assess how vulnerable these components are to climate change. Poland provides an interesting case in a European context as the country’s energy sector is largely fueled by hard coal, and its established thermal power plant fleet requires large volumes of water at particular temperatures to operate at full capacity (Kosowski et al. 2019). Climate change is predicted to cause variations in temperature and precipitation which is likely to affect water availability (Schaeffer et al. 2012). This is set to place further strain on the relationship betweenwater and thermal power plant operation. In addition, Poland has some of the smallest freshwater resources available per capita in the European Union and the country has already witnessed an increase in droughts and heatwaves which have had negative impacts on electricity generation (Manowska & Rybak 2018; Olszewski2015). The concern for Poland then is that climate change threatens the energy transformation sectors’ ability to provide access to electricity by continuing to affect water availability. To investigate this, the study conducted a vulnerability assessment that aimed to identify climate change exposure through the analysis of different climate models. A content analysis of relevant literature was used to identify potential climate change threats. To place the assessment in the Polish context, a case study was conducted on 14 hard coal thermal power plants located throughout the country. The data gathered from the case study was then evaluated and discussed in relation to the conceptual framework. The results found that climate change is indeed causing higher airtemperatures which is likely to cause higher water temperatures as well as more extreme weather events. These trends are expected to continue well beyond 2050. Regarding water availability, it was more challenging to identify a significant change in precipitation trends but periods of intense rainfall and increases in mean watertemperatures were observed. The thesis concluded that it is difficult to predict the exact degree of vulnerability of water availability and thermoelectric power operation. It does however recognize that there is a clear relationship between water availability and the functioning of thermal power plants. Therefore, it can be said that climate change will, to a certain extent, expose the two components to further vulnerabilities. Yet, further in-depth research is required to improve the reliability of the results.

Abstract:
This report travels through multiple disciplines to seek innovative and sustainable energy solutions for wastewater treatment plants. The first subject is a report about increased global temperatures and an over-exploitation of natural resources that threatens ecosystems worldwide. The situation is urgent where the current trend is a 2°C increase of global temperatures already in 2040. Furthermore, the energy-land nexus becomes increasingly apparent where the world is going from a dependence on easily accessible fossil resources to renewables limited by land allocation. A direction of the required transition is suggested where all actors of the society must contribute to quickly construct a new carbon-neutral resource and energy system. Wastewater treatment is as required today as it is in the future, but it may move towards a more emphasized role where resource management and energy recovery will be increasingly important. This report is a master’s thesis in energy engineering with an ambition to provide some clues, with a focus on energy, to how wastewater treatment plants can be successfully integrated within the future society. A background check is conducted in the cross section between science, society, politics and wastewater treatment. Above this, a layer of technological insights is applied, from where accessible energy pathways can be identified and evaluated. A not so distant step for wastewater treatment plants would be to absorb surplus renewable electricity and store it in chemical storage mediums, since biogas is already commonly produced and many times also refined to vehicle fuel. Such extra steps could be excellent ways of improving the integration of wastewater treatment plants into the society. New and innovative electric grid-connected energy storage technologies are required when large synchronous electric generators are being replaced by ‘smaller’ wind turbines and solar cells which are intermittent (variable) by nature. A transition of the society requires energy storages, balancing of electric grids, waste-resource utilization, energy efficiency measures etcetera… This interdisciplinary approach aims to identify relevant energy technologies for wastewater treatment plants that could represent decisive steps towards sustainability.

Abstract:
Busco neste trabalho recompor minha experiência ao participar das controvérsias em torno da possível instalação de uma usina termoelétrica a gás natural em Canas, pequeno município do Vale do Paraíba, a 200 km nordeste de São Paulo. Agrego a esta experiência outros materiais resultantes de pesquisas em arquivos, cópias de documentos, entrevistas com os envolvidos e a contribuição de autores encontrados durante o curso de mestrado em \"Culturas e Identidades Brasileiras\", no Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da Universidade de São Paulo. O processo de licenciamento ambiental da usina ficou marcado por uma grande mobilização originada de várias contestações ao Estudo de Impacto Ambiental apresentado pela empresa responsável, a AES Tietê. Iniciado a partir da atuação de alguns membros do Conselho Municipal do Meio Ambiente de Lorena (COMMAM), o grupo que contestou os estudos foi se agregando em torno de questões surgidas quando da sua inserção cada vez aprofundada na investigação dos impactos previstos com o funcionamento do empreendimento. Procuro compor um relato, o mais acurado possível, retraçando as redes de conexões entre os diversos atores envolvidos nas controvérsias, conforme sugere a Teoria-Ator-Rede, desenvolvida por Bruno Latour e outros autores identificados com a \"Antropologia da Ciência e da Tecnologia\". A aposta é que eventos como o descrito neste trabalho proporcionam acompanhar de perto o curso das ações, na oportunidade em que elas se apresentam ainda incertas, quando as controvérsias se desenvolvem e com elas emergem vários elementos candidatos à formação de novas composições, até que um pouco mais adiante possam talvez voltar a se estabilizar, ocultando toda a discussão anterior. Povoando a natureza de política, a política de natureza, busco ainda aproximar tais discussões de uma abordagem Cosmopolítica, proposta por Isabelle Stengers (2007) e acompanhada por outros (dentre eles também Latour), partindo sempre de como os atores deste processo - humanos e não-humanos - se compõem e em que campos de ação se identificam, de acordo com sua inserção no processo. Ao final, espero ter à disposição novas referências para a compreensão das controvérsias, que possam gerar uma avaliação de outras composições formadas entre os agentes neste período de interação que se identifica como o processo de licenciamento da termoelétrica.
I aim in this study recompose my experience by participating in the controversies surrounding the possible installation of a natural gas thermoeletric plant in Canas, small town of Vale do Paraíba 200 km northeast of São Paulo. I assemble to this experience other materials resulting from research in archives, copies of documents, interviews with those involved and the contribution of authors encountered during the Master\'s degree in \"Culturas e Identidades Brasileiras\", at the Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros of the Universidade de São Paulo. The environmental licensing process of the plant was marked by a major mobilization originated from several objections to the Environmental Impact Study submitted by the responsible company, AES Tietê. Started from the actions of some members of the Municipal Council of the Lorena Environment (COMMAM), the group that questioned the studies was assemblig around issues raised while being ever closer integration in the investigation of predicted impacts to the operation the enterprise. I try to write an account, the most accurate possible, retracing the network of connections between the various actors involved in disputes, as suggested by the Actor-Network-Theory, developed by Bruno Latour and the others authors identified with the \"Antropology of Science anda Tecnology\". The bet is that events like the one described in this paper provide closely follw the course actions, in the opportunity that they have still uncertain, when the controversies develop and emerge several candidate elements to form new compositions, until a litlle further can maybe go back to stabilize, hiding all the previous discussion. Populating the nature with policy, the policy with nature, I aim even approach such discussions in a Cosmopolitics approach, proposed by Isabelle Stengers (2007) and accompanied by others authors (among them also Latour), always starting from how the actors of this process - humans and non-humans - compose themselves and where fields of action identify themselves, according to their inclusion in the process. In the end, I hope to have available new references for understanding the controversies, that can generate an evaluation of other compositions formed between the agents in this period of interaction which is identified as the licensing process for the thermoeletric plant.

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa apresenta como tema de estudo as Pequenas Centrais Hidrelétricas (PCHs). O seu objetivo geral é identificar os principais limites e potencialidades da sustentabilidade da cadeia produtiva de PCHs no Brasil, ao contexto das dimensões ambiental, social, econômica e institucional. O referencial teórico contempla conceitos e questões referentes: a cadeia produtiva; a Teoria do Ator-rede; as fontes de energia renováveis, mais especificamente a hidroeletricidade; e aos fatores determinantes da competitividade. Para a identificação dos gargalos e potencialidades, foi realizado um mapeamento da estrutura da cadeia de produção das PCHs, assim como a descrição do panorama atual das PCHs no país. Em seguida, foram estudadas, de forma mais aprofundada, cinco etapas que compõem a cadeia: recurso natural; geração; transmissão; distribuição; e comercialização. Na sequência, foram utilizados cinco critérios (importância, probabilidade, temporalidade, efeito e abrangência) para classificar os fatores identificados em cada etapa. Por fim, através da multiplicação dos índices numéricos atribuídos aos critérios, foi obtido o Índice de Significância (IS. No que tange à metodologia da pesquisa, ela pode ser classificada como aplicada e exploratória. Os dados empregados são secundários e foi utilizada a técnica de análise qualitativa. Como resultado, foram identificados 20 limites e 17 potencialidades relacionadas com a cadeia produtiva das PCHs no Brasil, sendo que destes 37 itens, 8 foram enquadrados como muito significativos, segundo os critérios estabelecidos para o IS. No que se refere ao resultado principal da pesquisa, verifica-se que, apesar de existirem potencialidades significativas para o desenvolvimento das PCHs na matriz energética nacional (o potencial hidrelétrico das bacias hidrográficas, a sua capacidade de atuar como vetor de desenvolvimento regional, a consolidação dos fabricantes de turbinas e geradores, e o livre acesso), alguns gargalos existentes na sua cadeia de produção devem ser trabalhados, tais como a interferência na migração e reprodução da ictiofauna continental, a desigualdade na distribuição de energia elétrica, e os aspectos legais e técnicos relacionados com o meio ambiente e a comercialização de energia.
This research study has as a theme: Small Hydro Power Plants (SHP). Its overall objective is to identify the main limits and potential sustainabilities of the productive chain of power plants in Brazil to the context of environmental, social, economic and institutional dimensions. The theoretical framework includes concepts that concern: the production chain, the Actor-Network Theory, renewable energy sources (specifically hydroelectricity) and the determinants of competitiveness. For the identification of limits and potential, mapping of the production of SHP chain structure was carried out; as well as the description of the current landscape of the SHP in the country. They were then studied in more depth. The five steps that make up the chain being: natural resource, generation, transmission, distribution and commercialization. Next, five criteria were used: importance, likelihood, timeliness, effect and scope; in order to classify the factors identified in each step. Finally, by multiplying the numerical index assigned to the criteria; the significance index (SI) was obtained, which was used to frame the final significance of the aspects by: less significant, significant and very significant. Regarding research methodology; it can be classified as: exploratory and applied. The data used was secondary and was used as qualitative analysis. As a result, we identified 20 potential limits and 17 related to the production chain of power plants in Brazil, and of these 37 items, 8 were classified as very significant, according to the criteria established for the IS. With regard to the main search result, it appears that, although there are significant potential for the development of SHP in the national energy matrix (hydropower potential of river basins, their ability to act as regional development vector, consolidation of turbines and generators manufacturers, and free access), some hurdles in the production chain must be worked out, such as interference in the migration and reproduction of continental fish fauna, inequality in the distribution of electricity, and the legal and technical aspects related to the environment and the commercialization of energy.

Abstract:
Abstract A number of factors are creating an increased market potential for small trough power technology. These include the need for distributed power systems for rural communities worldwide, the need to generate more electricity by non-combustion renewable processes, the need for sustainable power for economic growth in developing countries, and the deregulation and privatization of the electrical generation sector worldwide. Parabolic trough collector technology has been used in large central station power plants. Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) air-cooled modular power units have been successfully applied for large and small-scale geothermal power plants, with over 600 MW of capacity, during the same period. The merging of these two technologies to produce distributed modular power plants in the 200 kW to 10 MW range offers a new application for both technologies. It is our objective in this paper to introduce a modular trough power plant (MTPP) and discuss its performance and the cost of electricity generation from such system.

Abstract:
Sexual assault is a violent crime that traumatizes individual victims and endangers entire communities. Every victim of sexual assault deserves an opportunity for justice and access to the resources they need to recover from this trauma. In addition, many perpetrators of sexual assaults are serial offenders who also commit other violent crimes, including armed robberies, aggravated assaults, burglary, domestic violence, and homicides, against strangers and acquaintances. Criminal justice agencies have the power to create a strategic, sustainable plan for an improved response to sexual assault that aligns with current best practices and national recommendations. In this document, we define an “improved response” as an approach that supports effective investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases, holds perpetrators accountable, and promotes healing and recovery for victims of sexual assault. This guide will help prosecutor and law enforcement agencies create a process with milestones, goals, and suggested actions, all designed to support a successful and sustainable approach for addressing sexual assault cases. Improving the criminal justice system’s response to sexual assault ultimately improves public safety and promotes trust between criminal justice agencies and the communities they serve.

Abstract:
As of 2004 and continuously to this day, the annual growth rate of renewable sources has been greater than that of all fossil fuels combined. In the midst of this transition to cleaner energy, natural gas is the only fossil fuel that has increased its share in the global energy matrix. Technological changes in the LNG supply chain, as well as transformations in the global natural gas market, largely explain this growth. This publication provides evidence on the fundamental role that natural gas plays in the energy transition, given that: (i) its greenhouse gas emissions are substantially lower than those of oil and coal; (ii) it provides the firm power necessary to complement intermittent renewable energies; (iii) it is particularly safe compared to other fossil fuels. In line with these attributes, the International Energy Agency projects that the share of natural gas in the global energy matrix by 2040 will remain stable (around 24%), even in its Sustainable Development Scenario, which would allow to meet the goals established in the Paris Agreement.
