Renewables, nuclear, or fossil fuels? Scenarios for Great Britain’s power system considering costs, emissions and energy security
Abstract Mitigating climate change is driving the need to decarbonize the electricity sector, for which various possible technological options exist, alongside uncertainty over which options are preferable in terms of cost, emissions reductions, and ...

A large river (River Loire, France) survey to compare phytoplankton functional approaches: Do they display river zones in similar ways?
Abstract Functional groups of phytoplankton make possible various classifications among taxa and this approach has been receiving a growing scientific interest. We compared three frequently used classifications as possible ecological tools in...

Base-load Thermoelectric Power Generation Using Evacuated Tube Solar Collector and Water Storage Tank
Abstract The concept of using low temperature solar heated water to produce electricity is not new but so far very few attempts have been made to produce continuous power (24hours - 7days) from low grade solar thermal systems. In this study we are...

GIS –Based Morphometric Analysis of Two Reservoir Catchments of Arkavati River, Ramanagaram District, Karnataka
Abstract In countries like India, where the population pressure is continuously increasing, land and water resources are limited and their wide utilization is imperative. Drainage basins, catchments and sub catchments are the fundamental units for...

Accelerated Aging of a Solar Absorber Material Subjected to Highly Concentrated Solar Flux
Abstract To support the fast growth of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies, R&D efforts need to be continued to minimize costs. Reducing manufacturing, processing and maintenance costs is key to reach a competitive low production price...

Implementing Hydropower Scheduling in a European Expansion Planning Model
Abstract A method for implementing an enhanced hydropower planning formulation in a long-term expansion planning model is proposed. The methodological framework involves assigning hydropower generation a marginal cost through water values, enabling...

Temporal and spatial distributions of sediment mercury in restored coastal saltmarshes
Abstract Saltmarsh restoration, through de-embankment, is implemented across Europe and North America with the aims of restoring habitat, sustainably protecting coastlines, and improving water quality. Yet, there is very little understanding of the...
