Advanced Power Generation:
1 Megawatt to 1,000 Megawatts
Note: Authors and presenters are invited to participate in this event to expand international cooperation and understanding in the areas described below. Dissemination of knowledge will serve as the foundation upon which the conference program will be developed through the presentation of research results, new developments, and novel concepts in grid management. All sessions are quality driven.
Track 1: Distributed Generation Technologies (1 Megawatt to 50 Megawatts)
This track addresses (1) the existing and emerging technologies for distributed generation (DG) at the site of use including system performance, facility integration, waste-heat recovery, and control; (2) grid connectivity and ramifications; and (3) the implications of electricity as a fuel for vehicles. The track emphasis is directed to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, criteria pollutant emissions, and urban air quality impacts; the co-generation of transportation fuels; and case studies that address the economics of deployment.
