Electrifying Residential Space Heating with Air-Source Heat Pumps in a Carbon-Intensive Grid: Greenhouse Gas Emission Impacts and the Case of Incentivising in Nova Scotia
Commitments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions warrant consideration of alternative residential space heating technologies particularly in regions with colder climates. The Canadian province of Nova Scotia (NS) has ... -
INDUSTRIAL ORGANICISM: Evolving the Cultural Landscape of the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia through Community Owned Renewable Energy
My thesis explores the evolution and ongoing cultural relevance of the unique Minas Basin landscape located along the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. The tides of the Bay of Fundy, the highest in the world with a twice daily ... -
MULTIDIMENSIONAL OPTIMAL CONTROL OF WIND TURBINE GENERATOR
Small differences in wind speed can lead to huge differences in energy capture. In wind turbines, the received wind speed determines the power generation and output torque. However, as wind speed, direction and inflow angle ... -
NEW EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM OPERATIONAL ENGINEERING
In this research work, models will be developed for optimal dispatch problems applied in a smart grid environment. The models will be used to solve optimal dispatch problems and other problems such as: optimal power ... -
Regenerative Air Energy Storage for Renewable Energy Integration: System Modeling and Optimization
(2014-04-04)As energy systems shift away from fossil-fuel based electricity, the non-dispatchability of renewable energy converters (REC) continue to stress the grid infrastructure and conventional thermal generating units. These ... -
TORREFACTION OF BIOMASS
(2011-09-06)Torrefaction is a thermo-chemical pre-treatment of biomass within a narrow temperature range from 200°C to 300°C, where mostly the hemicellulose components of a biomass depolymerise. This treatment is carried out under ...
