The restructuring of the gas industry did not so far generate the same modeling activity as in electricity. While the literature of activity in electricity market models is now abundant, it is still rather scant on the gas side. This paper explains some of the existing models and attempts to...
The restructuring of the electric power industry is transforming the historically monopolistic industry into one that will have increased competition in its generation and retail sales components, thereby changing the way electricity is priced, traded, and marketed in the United States. This fact sheet focuses on the retail electricity market...
The Dutch policy goal is to achieve a share of 17% renewable electricity in the domestic demand in 2020. It is uncertain whether and under which conditions this aim can be achieved. This paper aims to explore the feasible deployment of renewable electricity production in the Netherlands until 2020 by...
Electricity is generated as it is used. There is very little ability to store electricity. Because of this instantaneous nature, the electric power system must constantly be adjusted to ensure that the generation of power matches the consumption of power. Although Control Area Operators run the grid within their control...
A brief description of the designed digital sampling electricity meter based on the modern Texas Instruments TMS320C6711 DSP is presented in this paper. The electricity meter measures basic electric network parameters such as rms values of voltages and currents, powers, energy, power factor and net frequency. A brief discussion of...
The Pelamis Wave energy Converter WEC is an innovative new concept for extracting energy from ocean waves and converting it into a useful product such as electricity, direct hydraulic pressure or potable water. The system is a semi-submerged, articulated structure composed of cylindrical sections linked by hinged joints. The wave-induced...

This report presents the characteristic data regarding potentials and costs for technologies for renewable electricity generation. Focus is on onshore and offshore wind energy, solar photovoltaic energy and electricity from biomass and waste. Additionally, data are presented for hydropower and geothermal electricity. Focus is on onshore and offshore wind energy,...
This fact sheet discusses how farmers can use wind energy to generate electricity within their farms. It is no surprise that Wisconsin farmers are interested in harvesting wind energy. Wind turbines are well suited for agricultural settings because they operate most efficiently in open areas like cropland or pastures, yet...
The Cape Lookout PV hybrid power system is located at Morris Marina Fish Camp on Portsmouth Island of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The system has a 4 kW solar photovoltaic PV array and a 6.5 kW propane generator for generation electricity for the whole camp. The propane generator used...
This paper considers the pricing of electricity swing options that hedge the electricity price risk and also partly hedge the risks in the option owner's electricity consumption process. The swing derivative sets instantaneous and cumulative boundaries for the electricity consumption and it specifies the price at which the buyer can...
A walking, beam-operated gas compressor is a low-cost, reliable solution for gas interference in downhole pumps, replacing expensive two-stage compressors and providing low-cost compression when electricity is absent. This article explains why a walking, beam-operated gas compressor is a low-cost, reliable solution for gas interference in downhole pumps, replacing expensive...
Electricity transmission lines provide the transport highways to move electricity from the generation sources to concentrated areas of customers. From there, the distribution system moves the electricity to where the customer uses it at a business or home. The transmission systems are unique because they are designed to move this...
As the government-funded electrical grid spread to rural areas, farmers became as dependent as town dwellers on the more reliable electricity from fossil-fueled generation plants. Wind-generated electricity seemed to be outdated. However, today, relying on fossil fuels for electrical generation is being seriously challenged. This fact-sheet shows how wind turbines...
There is a rapidly-increasing world demand for energy, and especially for electricity. Much of the electric demand is for continuous, reliable supply, which generally only fossil fuels and nuclear power can meet. The fuel for nuclear power to make electricity is uranium, and uranium's only substantial non-weapons use today is...

The electricity industry in the United States is undergoing major changes, the outcomes of which will affect every consumer. The industry is in the process of restructuring from one in which monopoly utilities generated and provided electricity to consumers at regulated prices to one in which numerous private companies are...
This report compiles the results of a simulation of CO2 and electricity trading organized by the International Energy Agency and Nord Pool for the Baltic Sea Region Energy Co-operation BASREC. The simulation gathered participants from governments of the ten Baltic Sea States and electricity and energy industry stakeholders. The authors...
