On the Use of Reanalysis Data for Wind Resource Assessment (open access)

On the Use of Reanalysis Data for Wind Resource Assessment

The goal of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind Energy Program's wind resource assessment group located at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, is to improve the characterization of the wind resource in many regions of the world in support of the U.S. wind energy industry. NREL characterizes the level of the available wind resource at wind turbine hub heights (typically 30 m to 50 m above ground level) using wind power density, expressed in units of Watts per square meter. Wind power density values are frequently used to classify the wind resource level with the higher wind power classes assigned to areas with high power density values. NREL has developed a wind assessment methodology to produce wind resource maps useful for wind prospecting and wind energy project implementation. The methodology integrates information from global climatic data sets and also involves a critical meteorologic analysis of the climatic data. It is in the context of the critical meteorological analysis and the automated mapping system that we plan to evaluate the usefulness of Reanalysis data for wind assessment purposes.

Overcoming the Efficiency-Limiting Mechanisms in Commercial Si Solar Cells (open access)

Overcoming the Efficiency-Limiting Mechanisms in Commercial Si Solar Cells

A brief review of performance-limiting processes in a commercial solar cell fabricated on low-cost substrate is given. Higher efficiencies require effective gettering of precipitated impurities present at the defect clusters, and improved cell and process designs. Overcoming these limitations is expected to lead to 18%-20% cell efficiencies.

Particulate Measurements and Emissions Characterization of Alternative Fuel Vehicle Exhaust (open access)

Particulate Measurements and Emissions Characterization of Alternative Fuel Vehicle Exhaust

The objective of this project was to measure and characterize particulate emissions from light-duty alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and equivalent gasoline-fueled vehicles. The project included emission testing of a fleet of 129 gasoline-fueled vehicles and 19 diesel vehicles. Particulate measurements were obtained over Federal Test Procedure and US06 cycles. Chemical characterization of the exhaust particulate was also performed. Overall, the particulate emissions from modern technology compressed natural gas and methanol vehicles were low, but were still comparable to those of similar technology gasoline vehicles.

Request for modification of 200 Area effluent treatment facility final delisting (open access)

Request for modification of 200 Area effluent treatment facility final delisting

A Delisting Petition submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in August 1993 addressed effluent to be generated at the 200 Area Effluent Treatment Facility from treating Hanford Facility waste streams. This Delisting Petition requested that 71.9 million liters per year of treated effluent, bearing the designation 'F001' through 'F005', and/or 'F039' that is derived from 'F001' through 'F005' waste, be delisted. On June 13, 1995, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published the final rule (Final Delisting), which formally excluded 71.9 million liters per year of 200 Area Effluent Treatment Facility effluent from ''being listed as hazardous wastes'' (60 FR 31115 now promulgated in 40 CFR 261). Given the limited scope, it is necessary to request a modification of the Final Delisting to address the management of a more diverse multi-source leachate (F039) at the 200 Area Effluent Treatment Facility. From past operations and current cleanup activities on the Hanford Facility, a considerable amount of both liquid and solid Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 regulated mixed waste has been and continues to be generated. Ultimately this waste will be treated as necessary to meet the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Land Disposal Restrictions. The disposal of this waste …

SLURRY PHASE IRON CATALYSTS FOR INDIRECT COAL LIQUEFACTION (open access)

SLURRY PHASE IRON CATALYSTS FOR INDIRECT COAL LIQUEFACTION

This report describes research conducted to support the DOE program in indirect coal liquefaction. Specifically, they have studied the attrition behavior of iron Fischer-Tropsch catalysts, their interaction with the silica binder and the evolution of iron phases in a synthesis gas conversion process. The results provide significant insight into factors that should be considered in the design of catalysts for converting coal based syngas into liquid fuels.

Surface Analytical Study of CuInSe2 Treated in Cd-Containing Partial Electrolyte Solution (open access)

Surface Analytical Study of CuInSe2 Treated in Cd-Containing Partial Electrolyte Solution

Junction formation in CuInSe2 (CIS) has been studied by exposing thin films and single-crystal samples to solutions containing NH4OH and CdSO4. The treated samples were analyzed by secondary ion mass spectrometry to determine the amount and distribution of Cd deposited on the surface of the films. Cadmium is found to react with the surface for all the solution exposure times and temperatures studied. The reaction rapidly approaches the endpoint and remains relatively unchanged for subsequent solution exposure. Cadmium in-diffusion, as measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry, is obscured by topography effects in the thin-film samples and by ion-beam mixing and topography in the single-crystal sample.

Tank 241-TX-118, core 236 analytical results for the final report (open access)

Tank 241-TX-118, core 236 analytical results for the final report

This document is the analytical laboratory report for tank 241-TX-118 push mode core segments collected between April 1, 1998 and April 13, 1998. The segments were subsampled and analyzed in accordance with the Tank 241-TX-118 Push Mode Core sampling and Analysis Plan (TSAP) (Benar, 1997), the Safety Screening Data Quality Objective (DQO) (Dukelow, et al., 1995), the Data Quality Objective to Support Resolution of the Organic Complexant Safety Issue (Organic DQO) (Turner, et al, 1995) and the Historical Model Evaluation Data Requirements (Historical DQO) (Sipson, et al., 1995). The analytical results are included in the data summary table (Table 1). None of the samples submitted for Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) exceeded notification limits as stated in the TSAP (Benar, 1997). One sample exceeded the Total Alpha Activity (AT) analysis notification limit of 38.4{micro}Ci/g (based on a bulk density of 1.6), core 236 segment 1 lower half solids (S98T001524). Appropriate notifications were made. Plutonium 239/240 analysis was requested as a secondary analysis. The statistical results of the 95% confidence interval on the mean calculations are provided by the Tank Waste Remediation Systems Technical Basis Group in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding (Schreiber, 1997) and are …

Thin Film Photovoltaics (open access)

Thin Film Photovoltaics

The motivation to develop thin film technologies dates back to the inception of photovoltaics. It is an idea based on achieving truly low-cost photovoltaics appropriate for mass production and energy significant markets. The key to the idea is the use of pennies worth of active materials. Since sunlight carries relatively little energy in comparison with combustion-based energy sources, photovoltaic (PV) modules must be cheap to produce energy that can be competitive. Thin films are presumed to be the answer to that low-cost requirement. But how cheap do they have to be? The following is an oversimplified analysis that allows some insight into this question.

Validation of a Model for a Two-Bladed Flexible Rotor System: Progress to Date (open access)

Validation of a Model for a Two-Bladed Flexible Rotor System: Progress to Date

At the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, we tested a very flexible wind turbine. This machine, the Cannon Wind Eagle turbine, exhibited an ability to significantly reduce the rotor flap-wise bending moments through a unique combination of a flexible rotor and hub design. In parallel to this testing effort, we developed analytical models of this machine using our simulation codes. The goal of this work was to validate the analytical models of this machine by comparing analytical predictions to measured results from the real machine. We first describe briefly the simulation codes used in this study. We then describe the wind turbine we analyzed. We then describe analytical model validation progress for this flexible rotor and show preliminary validation results. Finally, we make conclusions and state our plans for future studies.
