Final report on Canadian-U.S. natural gas trade
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Center for Energy Policy Research, Energy Laboratory, 1985, 1985) -
Dynamic energy system modeling - interfuel competition
(MIT Energy Lab, 1972)This work reports the formulation, development, validation, and applications of a medium to long range dynamic model for interfuel competition in the aggregated U. S. The economic cost structure, investment decisions, ... -
The mechanics of submerged multiport diffusers for bouyant discharges in shallow water
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)A submerged multiport diffuser is an effective device for disposal of water containing heat or other degradable wastes into a natural body of water. A high degree of dilution can be obtained and the environmental impact ... -
The economics of reliability for electric generation systems
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)Providing excess generation capability for reliability purposes costs a utility money. It is also true, that providing higher reliability adds value to electric service. After some point, however, the additional benefits ... -
The residential demand for electricity in New England,
([Cambridge, Mass., Energy Laboratory], Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1973], 1973)The residential demand for electricity, studied on the national level for many years, is here investigated on the regional level. A survey of the literature is first presented outlining past econometric work in the field ... -
Economic-environmental-security transform curves of electric power system production schedules and simulations
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)A quasi-optimal technique ('quasi' in that the technique discards unreaonable optimums), realized by a dynamially evolving mixed integer program, is used to develop regional electric power maintenanee and production ... -
Approximate transmission network models for use in analysis and design
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973) -
Impacts of new energy technology using generalized input-output analysis
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)Traditional input-output analysis was modified to include air pollution emissions, employment, and other accessory variables. Engineering studies of high and low DTU coal gasification and the gas turbine topping cycle ... -
Electric power unit commitment scheduling using a dynamically evolving mixed integer program
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)A quasi-optimal technique ('quasi' in that the technique discards unreasonable optimums), realized by a dynamically evolving mixed integer program, is used to develop regional electric power unit commitment schedules ... -
Cost evaluation of air pollution control standards
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)A modAl is developed to describe the sulfur dioxide and particulate air pollution characteristics of a fossil fueled steam electric power plant. The model contains three stages. The first considers boiler emissions ... -
Quantification of aquatic environmental impact of electric power generation
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)This project proposes a method for creating, to the extent of their predictability, the proper and timely forecasts of the aquatic ecosystem consequences of electric power system operation. A procedure is developed ... -
A model for the determination of optimal electric generating system expansion patterns
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)Long range electric generating capacity expansion planning requires consideration of a diverse range of issues including economic and financial evaluations, environmental protection, and overall system reliability. ... -
Estimation of aggregate miles of EHV transmission line needs
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)Regression analysis is used to develop models for the total number of miles of EHV line needed in a power system. These models are not meant to be used to design a transmission system but to examine existing EHV systems ... -
Electric generation production scheduling using a quasi-optimal sequential technique
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)A quasi-optimal technique ('quasi' in that the technique discards unreasonable optimums), realized by a dynamically evolving mixed integer program, is used to develop regional electric power maintenance and production ... -
Thermal pollution abatement evaluation model for power plant siting
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973)A thermal pollution abatement model for power plant siting is formulated to evaluate the economic costs, resource requirements, and physical characteristics of a particular thermal pollution abatement technology at ... -
Modeling of electric power demand growth
(MIT Energy Lab, 1973) -
The economics of the natural gas shortage (1960-1980)
(MIT Energy Lab, 1974) -
Feasibility of fuel switching in Boston
(MIT Energy Lab, 1974)This report develops a simple physical model that predicts that the nighttime dispersion of S2 from the largest sources in Boston is different than the dispersion of S2 from small, low level sources. Diurnal variations ... -
Analysis of pumping systems for the cooling of underground transmission lines
(MIT Energy Lab, 1974)Various pumping arrangements and their pressure profile control for forced cooling of long pipe type transmission lines were investigated. In order to overcome the extensive friction head losses and provide ample ... -
Investment and returns in exploration and the impact on oil and natural gas supply
(MIT Energy Lab, 1974)An econometric model is developed to explain the investment in exploratory activity and the resulting accumulation of proved reserves of oil and natural gas in the continental United States. The model explicitly takes ...
