energy water nexus of wind Power Generation systems
Applied Energy, 2016Co-Authors: Jin Yang, Bin ChenAbstract:Energy and water are two interwoven elements of Power Generation systems. Because wind Power is regarded as a promising renewable energy, how to increase its production and reduce energy and water costs has attracted many attentions. However, there is a lack of comprehension of the energy–water nexus in wind Power Generation systems. In this study, we developed a new energy–water nexus analysis framework for wind Power Generation systems, which includes both element and pathway nexus analyses. In element nexus analysis, energy used for water extraction and wastewater treatment and water consumed for electricity Generation were investigated. The mutual interactions and control situations within the wind Power Generation system were also examined in pathway nexus analysis based on Network Environ Analysis (NEA). Taking a typical wind Power Generation system in China as the case, the element nexus analysis results show that water consumptions per unit of wind Power Generation are much lower than those of the other Power Generation systems. Energy consumption of the water system in the wind Power Generation system is 3.395×107MJ, of which water extraction process constitutes 90.22%. In pathway nexus analysis, network utility analysis and network control analysis are performed to investigate the dominant sectors and pathways for energy–water circulation and the mutual relationships between pairwise components of the wind Power Generation system. The results of network utility analysis show that compartment of surface water and groundwater (WA) is beneficiary from waste treatment (WT), which implies that although extra energy is devoted to WT, the benefit of water recycling is larger than energy cost. The results of network control analysis indicate that on-grid Power (PG) not only depends on direct wind resource input (WI) (with a dependence coefficient of 0.20), but also indirectly supported by major compartments of fossil fuel input (FU) (0.16), construction material input (CO) (0.14), and wind turbines manufactory (MA) (0.12). Compartments of WA and MA have large dependences on WT. Therefore, increasing wastewater and material treatment and recycling in the wind Power Generation system could reduce water and energy demand from the external environmental. Dissipation (DIS) mainly relies on FU (0.19), wind Power Generation (WP) (0.16) and CO (0.2), which should be the focus of dissipation reduction. The presented energy–water nexus analysis may shed light on synergistic management of wind Power Generation systems.

Biomass pyrolysis for Power Generation -- a potential technology
Renewable Energy, 2001Co-Authors: Anuradda Ganesh, Rangan BanerjeeAbstract:A wide range of process and routes are available for Power Generation from biomass. PYROLYSIS is another emerging technology, wherein biomass is converted to liquids, gases and char — liquid fuels being the main target. Power Generation using this technology is essentially the use of pyrolytic oils for the gas turbine integrated into a combined cycle. Using this process has an inherent advantage of potentially decoupling of the fuel-Generation from the Power- Generation site. A comparative study of this technology for Power Generation, with other technologies is made to determine its economic viability. Despite the fact that this technology is relatively new in the learning curve, it is found comparable with the other routes studied. It is found that the biomass prices have a strong influence in the economics, and using pyrolysis for Power Generation would be a more favored route than others at higher biomass prices. The study clearly brings out Power Generation through pyrolysis as a potential route and deserves attention.
