The era of deregulation brings with it much uncertainty, and one of the leading questions is the status of generation. A wave of generating asset transfers on an unprecedented scale is expected in the near future as a result of industry restructuring.
Charged Injection Corporation (CIC) is currently working under Navy sponsorship on the development of an electrostatic nozzle for dispersal of fire fighting water mists. CIC has developed a number of nozzles that are capable of providing high flow rate charged sprays.
Waste Gasification Technology, Inc (WGTI) is a startup company with a technology to convert waste tires into oil and gas fuels, while producing no smoke, pollution or odor, and leaving only a small amount of solid residue. The fuels can be used to generate steam and/or electricity, or to provide heat for industrial users (e.g. fruit drying or plywood manufacture).
DOE, EEI, EPRI, and host C & SW will hold the “Second National Green Pricing and Green Power Marketing Conference”; Agenda will include updates on existing programs, an overview of new Green Power projects, lessons learned about Green Power and retail wheeling, and perspectives on issues such as certification and disclosure.
The electric power industry is in the midst of a complex transition to competition, which will induce many far-reaching changes in the structure of the industry and the institutions which regulate it. This transition raises many reliability issues, as new entities emerge in the power markets and as generation becomes less integrated with transmission.
Livermore has given a license for CDI to a small water company in Tucson, AZ who’ve formed a subsidiary, Terra Research Corp., to pursue applications. The parent company is publicly traded OTC – Far West Group, which does water drilling and pumping and supplies.
Although the bulk electric power system has functioned well under a sense of voluntarism, thanks largely to the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) and its regional councils, will voluntarism be sufficient to assure reliability under the new paradigm?
