Distributed Wind Deployment: Net-Zero Homeowner

This is a case study on distributed wind. The owner had a 25-kilowatt Eocycle wind turbine installed on a 140-foot tower, which separates the turbine from treetops and other potential barriers to consistent winds.

Is net carbon negative crude achievable with CO2 enhanced oil recovery?

This work was presented at the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Conference in Nashville, TN on June 16, 2016. Presentation on the NETL LCA of CO2-EOR) The presentation covers the NETL model of CO-EOR and an approach to managing the electricity co-product from the system. The GHG emissions of the system are highly dependent on the performance of the reservoir - how much oil is generated for a given amount of CO2, and by the GHG emissions of the source of CO2 relative to other sources of electricity.

Net Zero Energy Manufactured Homes May Be on their Way

This article, published in Home Energy Magazine, describes a research project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America program, to construct and test the first manufactured home in the United States built to the performance criteria of DOE's Zero Energy Ready Home program. A 15-month study was conducted to compare the real-world performance of the DOE Zero Energy Ready home and two other manufactured homes - one built to just above industry standard construction and one built to the ENERGY STAR Certified Home criteria. The homes were built by Clayton Homes' Southern Energy Division and testing was sponsored by DOE's Building America program and conducted by the Levy Partnership. The DOE ZERH had increased initial construction costs of $6,607 compared to the standard home versus $4,340 for the ENERGY STAR home but reduced energy bills by $50 per month compared to a $33/month savings for the ENERGY STAR home, and monthly savings will continue for the life of the home. Savings were especially noticeable in the summer in this cooling-dominated test location. The DOE ZERH cut cooling costs in half compared to the ENERGY STAR home which performed only slightly better than the standard home in summer, while winter savings between the two advanced homes were more similar. Two technology advances were tested in the DOE ZERH home. Instead of the typical ducted heating and cooling system, the DOE ZERH home was equipped with a ductless heat pump; to condition the bedroom, holes were cut into bedroom walls and small fans were installed to pull air into those rooms, while door undercuts and transfer grilles provide return paths. A novel dense-pack attic insulation was also implemented.

Coordinated net-load management

A management device includes at least one processor communicatively coupled to at least one energy resource controller controlling at least one energy resource and to at least one deferrable load controller controlling power to at least one deferrable load. The is configured to receive an indication, determined based on a frequency value of an electrical network and a nominal frequency value, that a frequency anomaly event has occurred. Responsive to receiving the indication that the frequency anomaly event has occurred, the processor is also configured to determine, for at least one of the energy resource and the deferrable load, based on the frequency value, the nominal frequency value, and a power value of the electrical network, a respective power command, and cause at least one of the at least one energy resource and the at least one deferrable load to modify operation based on the respective power command.
