The widespread adoption of both commercial and residential non-dispatchable renewable energy facilities, such as solar and wind, further taxes the stability of the electrical grid, often causing traditional fossil fuel power plants to operate at lower efficiency, and with increased carbon emissions. Hydropower, as a proven renewable energy technology, has a significant part to play in the future global electrical power market, especially as increasing demand for electric vehicles will further amplify the need for dispatchable energy sources during peak charging times. Even with more than a century of proven experience, significant opportunities still exist to expand the worldwide hydropower resources and more efficiently utilize existing hydropower installations. Given this context, this Special Issue of Energies intended to present recent developments and advancements in hydropower design and operation. This Special Issue includes five articles, authored by international research teams from Japan, Pakistan, Sweden, Norway, the United States, and China. The authors bring the collective expertise of government research laboratories, university professors, industry research engineers, computer scientists, and economists. The articles explore advancements in hydroturbine and pump-turbine design, power plant operation, auxiliary equipment design to mitigate environmental damage, and an exploration of community-owned small hydropower facilities.History of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscagricultural cooperativeCFDcommunity developmentcommunity ownershipcommunity-based businesscounter-rotatingcrowdfundingdynamic meshing techniqueFITflow deflectionhybrid powerhydropowerlow-headmultiphasen/aneural networksOpenFOAMparticlephotovoltaicpump modepump turbinepump-turbinepumped hydro storagepumped-storage hydrorenewable energysand trapsediment transportSHPshutdownslight openingsmall hydropowersolarstartuptransient sequencesHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesCimbala John Medt306040Lewis Bryan JedtCimbala John MothLewis Bryan JothBOOK9910576880603321Advancements in Hydropower Design and Operation for Present and Future Electrical Demand3037561UNINA03227nam 2200373z- 450 991016164750332120210212(CKB)3710000001041989(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/57443(oapen)doab57443(EXLCZ)99371000000104198920202102d2016 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierQuantitative Systems Biology for Engineering Organisms and PathwaysFrontiers Media SA20161 online resource (126 p.)Frontiers Research Topics2-88919-829-4 Studying organisms as a whole for potential metabolic(ally) engineering of organisms for production of (bio)chemicals is essential for industrial biotechnology. To this end, integrative analysis of different -omics measurements (transciptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, fluxomics) provides invaluable information. Combination of experimental top-down and bottom-up approaches with powerful analytical tools/techniques and mathematical modeling, namely (quantitative) systems biology, currently making the state of art of this discipline, is the only practice that would improve our understanding for the purpose. The use of high-throughput technologies induced the required development of many bioinformatics tools and mathematical methods for the integration of obtained data. Such research is significant since compiling information from different levels of a living system and connecting them is not an easy task. In particular, construction of dynamic models for product improvement has been one of the goals of many research groups. In this Research Topic, we summarize and bring a general review of the most recent and relevant contributions in quantitative systems biology applied in metabolic modeling perspective. We want to make special emphasis on the techniques that can be widely implemented in regular scientific laboratories and in those works that include theoretical presentations. With this Research Topic we discuss the importance of applying systems biology approaches for finding metabolic engineering targets for the efficient production of the desired biochemical integrating information from genomes and networks to industrial production. Examples and perspectives in the design of new industrially relevant chemicals, e.g. increased titer/productivity/yield of (bio)chemicals, are welcome. Addition to the founded examples, potential new techniques that would frontier the research will be part of this topic. The significance of multi 'omics' approaches to understand/uncover the pathogenesis/mechanisms of metabolic diseases is also one of the main topics.BiotechnologybicsscCell factoriesMetabolic EngineeringSystems BiologyBiotechnologyAlvaro R.
