0540: Energy Storage Scoping Study

The impact of variable energy resources, such as wind and solar, on power system operations can be mitigated through the use of energy storage. The general purpose of this guide is to provide insights into the role of energy storage as currently deployed, and highlight potential applications to mitigate the impact of renewable energy integration on various levels of the power system including the transmission, distribution, behind-the-meter and remote sites. This report is an aggregate of a thor

0543: How Low Can the Cost of Solar PV Go?

This report provides a literature review and analysis into potential changes in the cost of solar PV between a 2017 base year and the year 2030. The key question that this study answers is whether falling PV system costs are likely to make load and/or grid defection from existing utilities economically attractive. This analysis is conducted via an excel workbook that includes a wide range of assumptions on the cost and performance of a typical PV system deployed in four (4) North American locati

0538-2: Agricultural Biomass Torrefaction Research Program, Phase 2: Assessment of Grinding and Densification Characteristics of Torrefied Agricultural Biomass Fuel

The major challenge in using agricultural biomass feedstocks as a coal substitute in utility applications is that it either requires special handling and processing equipment, or it is severely limited in the percentage of co-firing possible. The torrefaction process has the ability to improve these properties. Combined with densification, torrefaction can significantly increase the energy density and handling properties of agricultural materials and also make them essentially water-proof. Torre

0552: Battery, Solar and Wind End of Life Management

Renewable energy resources, such as wind, solar, and batteries, have become increasingly prominent over the past 20 years. Although some emissions can be associated with the manufacturing and construction of these projects, the long-term operation of these renewable energy projects generally results in a very low carbon footprint. However, the sustainability of decommissioning wind turbine blades, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, and lithium-ion batteries poses significant challenges. These compo

0507: State-of-Technology of Electrical Power Generation from Biomass

The objective of this document was to collect and interpret the current state-of-technology of electric power generation from biomass, with the associated issues of supply, regulation, and environmental benefits, in the actual policy and economic context. This study examines power generation from biomass by focusing on key areas of biomass supply, conversion technologies, infrastructure and economic and environmental issues. This study examines these components with the major focus being on reso

0530D: Biomass Torrefaction Evaluation Program - Phase 2

REPORT No. T132700-0530D-1 GRINDING OF WOODY BIOMASS - ARBAFLAME TECHNOLOGYPilot scale testing for grinding of woody biomass was conducted in a VR mill. The VR Mill is a medium speed vertical spindle pulverizer, similar to the Raymond® Bowl Mill used for coal grinding. The testing material was a steam exploded wood pellet provided by Arbaflame Technology (Matrand, Hedmark, Norway). Bowl mill performance in grinding these biomass materials was investigated in terms of mill throughput and powe

0527: Evaluating the Feasibility of Above-Ground Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES)

This study explores the feasibility of a 15 MW, 120 MWh above-ground air energy storage system that could be reproduced on a modular basis from the perspectives of technological readiness, physical footprint demands, and economic viability. Both Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) systems and Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) systems are reviewed. The study analyzes the vendor landscape (six vendors were identified) by detailing the particulars of each vendor's scheme, taking into account techno
