  • Design of local roadway infrastructure to service Sustainable Energy facilities
    Energy Sustainability and Society, 2014
    Co-Authors: Karim A Abdelwarith, Panagiotis Ch Anastasopoulos, Wayne Richardson, Jon D Fricker, John E Haddock
    Abstract:

    Background This paper aims to identify specific local roadway infrastructure design guidelines associated with the construction and operation of Sustainable Energy source facilities, such as ethanol plants, biomass plants, and wind farm facilities. Methods Data associated with Sustainable Energy facility traffic in Indiana were collected to develop Excel-based tools (worksheets) and assist local agencies in the design of pavements in the proximity of ethanol plants, biomass plants, and wind farms. Results To that end, a simple procedure is presented, which provides a design capable of withstanding heavy traffic loads, while, at the same time, quantifies the effects that new Sustainable Energy source facilities may have on local road networks. The procedure is accompanied by two MS Excel-based software tools that can be used in the design of local roads adjacent to such Sustainable Energy facilities. Conclusions The developed worksheets can serve as a hands-on tool to assist local government engineers in evaluating and in quantifying the probable effects of the construction and operation of a Sustainable Energy facility in their jurisdiction.

  • Learning strategies in Sustainable Energy demonstration projects : What organizations learn from Sustainable Energy demonstrations
    Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2020
    Co-Authors: Bart Bossink
    Abstract:

    This literature review study presents and discusses the learning strategies of organizations participating in Sustainable Energy demonstration projects. It finds that academic, commercial, and governmental organizations build on six major learning strategies. The first learning strategy is to capture intellectual property and benefit from knowledge spillovers. The second learning strategy comprises the building of a series of prototypes that are technically and commercially fit for purpose. The third learning strategy aims at operating production plants that produce the prototypes on a large scale. The fourth learning strategy concentrates on exploiting learning curves in these production plants. The fifth learning strategy focuses on creating supply-demand networks that serve increasing markets. Finally, the sixth learning strategy is to develop governmental regulation and funding schemes that support the emergence of an industrial and societal institutional infrastructure for Sustainable Energy technology, based on the lessons learned from the demonstration projects. This study also finds that the six learning strategies are facilitated by four key behaviors of participants in demonstration projects, which are mutual trust-building, decision-making in favor of Sustainable Energy technology, learning-network building, and demonstration program development. To academics, this study provides a comprehensive insight into organizations’ learning strategies in Sustainable Energy demonstration projects, regarding learning directions and outcomes. Its contribution to practice is that it supports academic, commercial, and governmental organizations in managing their portfolio of learning strategies in new Sustainable Energy demonstration projects.

  • Demonstrating Sustainable Energy: A review based model of Sustainable Energy demonstration projects
    Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017
    Co-Authors: Bart Bossink
    Abstract:

    This article develops a model of Sustainable Energy demonstration projects, based on a review of 229 scientific publications on demonstrations in renewable and Sustainable Energy. The model addresses the basic organizational characteristics (aim, cooperative form, and physical location) and learning effects (technical, organizational, policy and market learning) of Sustainable Energy demonstration projects (prototyping, organizing, and market demonstrations). This article concludes that a main effect of the reviewed demonstrations is that these projects enable people to learn to further develop, apply and commercialize Sustainable, renewable and clean Energy technologies. They provide four specific learning opportunities; they 1) enable scientists and technicians to learn how to technically develop Sustainable Energy prototypes; 2) facilitate technicians and managers to learn to build an organization that produces these Sustainable Energy prototypes on a large(r) scale; 3) help public policy officers to learn to develop public policy that stimulates the commercialization process of these Sustainable Energy prototypes; and 4) support commercial professionals to learn how to bring Sustainable Energy prototypes to the market.
