The impetus for this book includes the dire need to mitigate continued anthropogenic causes of global warming by turning to carbon free energy sources. Nuclear energy represents such a carbon-free energy source and could be a partial solution to the existential threat facing future societythe threat of a warming planet and its consequential, catastrophic effects on future generations.
The world is at a crossroads in human interaction with their environment. The effects of radiation and the relationship of nuclear power to nuclear weapons are both discussed in an understandable and compelling manner.
Nuclear energy is contrasted with other energy sources including fossil fuels and renewable energy sources regarding the risks and benefits imposed by each. Important personalities and world events that shaped nuclear power's development are recounted.
The historical origins of nuclear power are outlined and the continued impetus to include nuclear power as part of the electric grid energy mix is assessed exposing the obstacles and road blocks to the continued use of nuclear power. Specific attention is paid to revealing the causes and lessons learned from the three severe accidents in commercial nuclear plants: TMI-2, Chernobyl, and Fukushima. An extensive discussion of nuclear waste disposal is provided as part of the decision tree for energy selection.
The context for the future of nuclear power as a viable energy source is illuminated by the current battle between economic growth and the harm created by burning fossil fuels. The status of the world's climate and projections for the disruptive effects of global warming on future populations, migration, economics, and world strife are debated against the backdrop of an increasing world population and the drive by developing nations to achieve economic parity with the industrialized nations.
Within the context of increased world strife, the quest by nations to obtain nuclear weapons is also discussed. The steps taken by the world to limit nuclear weapons proliferation are examined with emphasis on potential links between nuclear power generation and access to nuclear weapons. The final chapter discusses the moral responsibility of current generations with respect to future generations, specifically, the applicability of "intergenerational equity" in political and social decision-making regarding the actions that add to global warming and those risk averse actions that can be taken to minimize global warming.

Impact caused by a natural disaster or a man-made intrusion like cyber intrusion , on the critical infrastructure, like electric power grid, leads to a huge economic loss in the nation. Thus, it is very important to monitor and analyze the performance of such systems. There is still no clear methodology to define and quantify the resilience of power systems especially for transmission systems.
A lot of work has been carried out to quantify the resilience for distribution systems. This dissertation aims to quantify the resiliency in w. The concept of cyber and physical resilience, individually, to combine the effect of communication infrastructure on physical power systems is introduced. This resiliency quantification can then be used to determine and devise suitable control mechanisms to minimize the effect of unfavourable events on the grid.
The proposed physical resiliency metric is based on both system infrastructure and operating conditions that enables it to be updated with changing conditions in the system. They explored several ways of producing the desired particle size distributions with various tradeoffs between particle size, energy efficiency, technical complexity, reliability, and cost. In they moved into a lab space at PARC, where they have access to equipment, materials, facilities, and more scientists with expertise in aerosols, fluid dynamics, microfabrication, and electronics.
The three most promising techniques identified by the team were effervescent spray nozzles, spraying salt water under supercritical conditions, and electrospraying to form Taylor cones which we'll explain later. The first option was deemed the easiest to scale up quickly, so the team moved forward with it. In an effervescent nozzle, pressurized air and salt water are pumped into a single channel, where the air flows through the center and the water swirls around the sides.
When the mixture exits the nozzle, it produces droplets with sizes ranging from tens of nanometers to a few micrometers, with the overwhelming number of particles in our desired size range. Effervescent nozzles are used in a range of applications, including engines, gas turbines, and spray coatings.
The key to this technology lies in the compressibility of air. As a gas flows through a constricted space, its velocity increases as the ratio of the upstream to downstream pressures increases. This relationship holds until the gas velocity reaches the speed of sound. As the compressed air leaves the nozzle at sonic speeds and enters the environment, which is at much lower pressure, the air undergoes a rapid radial expansion that explodes the surrounding ring of water into tiny droplets.
Coauthor Gary Cooper and intern Jessica Medrado test the effervescent nozzle inside the tent. Kate Murphy. Neukermans and company found that the effervescent nozzle works well enough for small-scale testing, but the efficiency—the energy required per correctly sized droplet—still needs to be improved.
The two biggest sources of waste in our system are the large amounts of compressed air needed and the large fraction of droplets that are too big. Our latest efforts have focused on redesigning the flow paths in the nozzle to require smaller volumes of air. We're also working to filter out the large droplets that could trigger rainfall.
And to improve the distribution of droplet size, we're considering ways to add charge to the droplets; the repulsion between charged droplets would inhibit coalescence, decreasing the number of oversized droplets. Though we're making progress with the effervescent nozzle, it never hurts to have a backup plan.
And so we're also exploring electrospray technology, which could yield a spray in which almost percent of the droplets are within the desired size range. In this technique, seawater is fed through an emitter—a narrow orifice or capillary—while an extractor creates a large electric field.
If the electrical force is of similar magnitude to the surface tension of the water, the liquid deforms into a cone, typically referred to as a Taylor cone. Over some threshold voltage, the cone tip emits a jet that quickly breaks up into highly charged droplets. The droplets divide until they reach their Rayleigh limit , the point where charge repulsion balances the surface tension.
Fortuitously, surface seawater's typical conductivity 4 Siemens per meter and surface tension 73 millinewtons per meter yield droplets in our desired size range. The final droplet size can even be tuned via the electric field down to tens of nanometers, with a tighter size distribution than we get from mechanical nozzles.
This diagram not to scale depicts the electrospray system, which uses an electric field to create cones of water that break up into tiny droplets. Electrospray is relatively simple to demonstrate with a single emitter-extractor pair, but one emitter only produces 10 7 —10 9 droplets per second, whereas we need 10 16 —10 17 per second. Producing that amount requires an array of up to , by , capillaries. Building such an array is no small feat. We're relying on techniques more commonly associated with cloud computing than actual clouds.
Using the same lithography, etch, and deposition techniques used to make integrated circuits, we can fabricate large arrays of tiny capillaries with aligned extractors and precisely placed electrodes. Images taken by a scanning electron microscope show the capillary emitters used in the electrospray system.
Testing our technologies presents yet another set of challenges. Ideally, we would like to know the initial size distribution of the saltwater droplets. In practice, that's nearly impossible to measure. Most of our droplets are smaller than the wavelength of light, precluding non-contact measurements based on light scattering. Instead, we must measure particle sizes downstream, after the plume has evolved. Our primary tool, called a scanning electrical mobility spectrometer , measures the mobility of charged dry particles in an electrical field to determine their diameter.
But that method is sensitive to factors like the room's size and air currents and whether the particles collide with objects in the room. To address these problems, we built a sealed cubic meter tent, equipped with dehumidifiers, fans, filters, and an array of connected sensors. Working in the tent allows us to spray for longer periods of time and with multiple nozzles, without the particle concentration or humidity becoming higher than what we would see in the field.
We can also study how the spray plumes from multiple nozzles interact and evolve over time. What's more, we can more precisely mimic conditions over the ocean and tune parameters such as air speed and humidity.
We'll eventually outgrow the tent and have to move to a large indoor space to continue our testing. The next step will be outdoor testing to study plume behavior in real conditions, though not at a high enough rate that we would measurably perturb the clouds.
We'd like to measure particle size and concentrations far downstream of our sprayer, from hundreds of meters to several kilometers, to determine if the particles lift or sink and how far they spread.
Such experiments will help us optimize our technology, answering such questions as whether we need to add heat to our system to encourage the particles to rise to the cloud layer. They have also led to high real-time power prices.
The effects on distribution transformer failures is covered in Chapter 2. Davcock, C. DesJardins, and S. Maulbetsch, J. Durmayaz, A. Pechan, A. RM; Order No. Appendix 1A: Defining a Heat Wave A heat wave can be characterized as a prolonged period of hot ambient temperatures that can last from a few days to a few weeks with the anticipated weather conditions of an area at a certain of time.
While hot weather is a prerequisite for heat waves, it is notable that heat waves are more than just stand-alone hot days. To be a heat wave, such a period should last at least one day, but it can last several days or even Appendix 1A: Defining a Heat Wave 21 several weeks. Urban settings can increase temperatures even more, particularly overnight, which is of concern to power equipment.
The latter is referred to as the urban heat island UHI effect. Other countries have adopted their own definitions. Over the last 50 years, both the duration and frequency of heat waves have increased and the hottest days of heat waves have become even hotter. In the United States, heat waves have generally become more frequent and intense across the decades since and have been characterized by high daytime temperatures and, more importantly, high nighttime temperatures, accompanied by high humidity.
The number of hot days, warm nights, and heat waves, are all expected to increase through the twenty-first century across the globe.
As discussed in Chapter 11, heat waves can lead to outbreaks of wildfires, as they can dry vegetation, leading to an increased likeliness of ignition.
The evaporation of bodies of water due to high temperatures can also be of concern to power plants, as discussed in Chapter 3. This chapter presents case histories of both types of plants, in which they were affected by droughts. Some of the case histories also cover heat waves, as droughts and heat waves typically happen together. Introduction: Defining Droughts A drought can best be defined as a hydrologic condition of water shortage for a particular user in a particular location.
Conditions constituting a drought in one location may not constitute a drought in a different location for users with a different water supplies and demands. In addition, there is no universal definition of when a drought begins or ends. It is a gradual phenomenon that occurs slowly over a period of time. This is in contrast to most extreme weather events, such as storms, floods, or forest fires, which occur relatively rapidly and give little time for preparation.
PHDI is based on the balance of water supply and demand for a given climate, without including man-made changes such as new reservoirs or increased irrigation. The PHDI, and other indexes, classify drought in degrees of severity ranging from dry to exceptional. Table 2. Droughts affect hydroelectric and thermoelectric power plants.
Hydroelectric power plants convert the potential energy of water flowing down a steep gradient to turn turbines to generate electric power. Thermoelectric power plants use water to generate steam and as the primary coolant in their thermodynamics processes to generate electricity. When water is scarce, as it is during a drought, the operation of both types of plants is directly affected.
Drought impacts can range from the need to adjust water intake or water release to derating or even shutting down the power plants. Correlation of hydroelectric power generation to changes in precipitation and river discharge is high and close to one. The variability of weather patterns imposes uncertainty in the operation of hydroelectric facilities.
Hydropower operations are affected indirectly by changes in air temperatures, humidity, and wind patterns. Snowfall patterns, and associated runoff from snowpack, directly sway the water available for hydroelectric generation. For both this chapter and Chapter 3 on thermoelectric plants, it is important to note that the different plants withdraw and consume water, albeit sometimes at vastly different rates. Hence, in assessing the impacts of droughts on power generation, one has to consider the two aspects of water usage: water withdrawal and water consumption.
Both water withdrawal and consumption factors impact power generation output. While Chapter 3 discusses the water withdrawals and consumption of thermoelectric plants, this chapter discusses water usage by hydroelectric plants. Hydroelectric plants themselves do not consume any measureable amounts of water in the process of generating electricity, and water flowing through the turbines and into the river is not considered consumptive because it is still immediately available for other uses.
However, the increased surface area of the reservoirs for hydroelectric plants, when compared to the free flowing stream, Classifications of Hydroelectric Plants 25 results in additional water evaporation from the surface.
Reservoirs with large surface areas experience greater percentages of evaporation than smaller ones, consequently influencing the availability of water for all water uses, including hydropower. This is compared to 1. With the exception of one type of hydroelectric plant—pumped hydro plants— once water passes through the turbines of a hydroelectric power plant, it cannot be reused for power generation in that hydroelectric plant but can be used in plants downstream.
Therefore, such plants are dependent on a steady feed supply of water. Consequently, during droughts, when precipitation or snowpack levels are reduced, the reduced water levels can decrease to the point where electricity production is severely limited or even halted. Furthermore, because water use by municipalities often increases in times of heat waves, which frequently accompany droughts, dams may be required to release additional quantities of water, further reducing water levels available for hydroelectric generation.
Classifications of Hydroelectric Plants Hydroelectric facilities are classified according to many groupings, such as type, size capacity , head [the vertical change in elevation, expressed in feet or meters, between the head reservoir water level and the tailwater, downstream, level], grid connection single or isolated , turbine type, or classification as single or multipurpose or single or cascaded.
Figure 2. On the size classification, the U. Department of Energy DOE uses a more limited range for the sizes of hydroelectric plants.
The DOE defines large hydropower plants as those facilities that have a capacity of more than 30 MW, small hydropower as facilities that have a capacity of kW—30 MW, and micro hydropower plants as those with capacities up to kW.
Other countries have different classifications. Large hydroelectric plants are connected to the grid. Small hydroelectric plants are used to serve a small community or industrial plant.
The definition of a small hydro project varies but 10 MW is generally accepted as the upper limit of what can be termed small hydro, although it may be stretched sometimes to include facilities up to 25—30 MW.
Small-scale hydroelectricity production stood at over GW by the end of Small hydro stations may be connected to conventional electrical distribution or used in isolated areas. A micro hydroelectric plant is a term used for hydroelectric power installations that typically produce up to kW of power, and there are many of these installations around the world, particularly in developing nations.
These installations can provide power to a small load such as a small community. Micro hydroelectric systems sometimes complement PV solar energy systems, because in many areas, water flow, and thus available hydro power, is highest in the winter when solar energy is at a minimum. In addition to the DOE official size classifications, some also use the term pico hydroelectric system to denote hydroelectric power generation of under 5 kW.
Such systems are used in remote areas that require only a small amount of electricity. Even smaller turbines of —W may sometimes be used to power a single home in a developing country. Conversion of Water Potential Energy into Electric Energy To best understand the effect of droughts on hydroelectric generation, it is useful to review the principals of the generation of electricity from such plants. In conjunction with Figure 2. In the MKS system, m is measured in kilograms, g in 9.
Thus 1 kg, at a height of 1m would have about 10J of potential energy. Droughts affect the head of the water that provides the motive force that turns the turbines. The lower the head, the less water pressure, the less the force to turn the turbine and the less power generation. For example, the Lake Mead reservoir see the case history later in this chapter has lost appreciable water due to the recent droughts, leading to the derating of the Hoover Dam electricity generation.
Sizing of the Penstock and the Hydroelectric Turbine In the absence of turbines, or other restrictions, the water falling from the reservoir would emerge from the penstock at a free-flow value velocity given by 2. Sizing of the Penstock The function of the hydroelectric turbine is to extract the kinetic energy of the water. The conversion is not perfect, nor should it be. The residual energy would keep the water moving, or it would stop flowing and stall the flow prohibiting the passage of additional water through from the dam.
Essentially water exiting the turbine would be sapped of most, but, not all, of its energy. From this assumption, the approximate equations for the power from the dam and the velocity of the water with the turbine in place can be written. This is the combined efficiency of the turbine and generator. Continuing with the same example as above, from 2.
The resultant large area, in this case is about 80m 2. This would explain why the penstocks and hydroelectric turbines are large. As an example, Figure 2. Each of the generators of this plant is fed by an individual penstock with the largest approximately See the next section for more facts about this plant. Effects of Droughts on Different Hydroelectric Plant Types There are basically three types of hydroelectric facilities: impoundment, diversion, and pumped storage.
These three types are affected by water shortages differently; yet for all of them, electricity production can be restricted, or even halted, if the associated water levels drop too low. Impoundment-Type Hydroelectric Plants The most common type of hydroelectric power plant is an impoundment facility. An impoundment facility uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir.
Many dams 30 Effect of Droughts on Hydroelectric Power Plants were built for other purposes, and hydropower was added later. Out of the over 80, dams in the United States, only about 2, of them produce power along with being used for other purposes, such as flood control, recreation, water supply, and irrigation.
Mixed uses for water compete with the power plants during droughts. The dam stores the water. The penstocks carry the water down to the turbines.
The turbines are turned by the force of the water on their blades. The turbines rotate the generators to generate electricity. According to the USBR, the operator of the Grand Coulee Dam, this dam is the largest concrete structure built in North America, raising the water surface by m feet above the old riverbed.
It is 1,m 5, feet long and feet wide. The original dam was modified for the Third Power Plant by a m 1,foot long, m ft high reservoir dam. The power facilities at Grand Coulee Dam consist of a power plant on both the left and right sides of the spillway on the downstream face of the dam [3]. It may not require the use of a dam. Typically, water is stored in a forebay, often located in a river canyon. The capacity to Figure 2.
Source: USBR. A run-of-the-river ROR plant is a good example of this type of plant. A ROR power plant may have no water storage at all or a limited amount of storage. If it does, the storage reservoir is referred to as pondage forebay. Having no pondage would subject this type of a plant to more drought vulnerability and to seasonal river flows.
A plant with pondage can regulate the water flow and can serve as a peaking power plant or base load power plant. It has no, or little, capacity for energy storage. The ability to generate power is diminished by a drought if the water supply to the plant cannot be maintained at a certain level, or due to competing uses of the river.
Pumped-Storage Type Hydroelectric Plants Pumped-storage hydroelectricity PSH , also known as pumped hydroelectric energy storage PHES , is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water from a higher elevation reservoir released to a lower elevation reservoir, passing the powerhouse; see Figure 2.
Low-cost, off-peak electric power is used to pump the water back from the lower reservoir to the higher reservoir. During periods of high electrical demand, the stored water is released through the turbines to produce electric power.
Reversible turbine and generator assemblies act as pump and turbine assemblies. The only way to store a significant amount of energy for such plants is by having a large body of water located on a hill relatively near, but as high as possible above, to a second body of water.
In some places this occurs naturally. In some situations, one or both bodies of water have been man-made. Variability of Hydroelectric Generation in the United States 33 Electricity production at pumped storage facilities is more resistant to drought because most of the water compared to other hydroelectric generation systems due to less evaporation at these plants can be reused. Variability of Hydroelectric Generation in the United States The annual variability of hydropower generation in the United States is high.
Notice that there was a drop of about 70 million MWh, from to due to droughts. There was also a drop from to , shown in Table 2. Those 20 facilities see Figure 2. Those two drops correspond to drought conditions witnessed in the United States during those periods. In , the United States experienced its most widespread drought in over half a century.
The two case histories following this section describe the impact of this drought on hydroelectric facilities in California and the Hoover Dam. Data from: U. These droughts reduced river flows and the levels of lakes and reservoirs. The snowpack is a measurement that correlates closely to the amount of amount of water that would be available to fill reservoirs and power hydroelectric generators throughout the year.
At over 4. The lake is fed by the north fork, middle fork, west branch, and south fork of the Feather River. Data from: California DWR. Credit: California DWR. Hydroelectric generation facilities in California fall into one of two categories: facilities smaller than 30 MW and larger than 30 MW. The MW and smaller facilities—small hydro—are generally considered eligible renewable energy resources, and if certified for their net MWh, can count toward renewable energy portfolio standards.
Hydroelectric generation rises in the winter and spring months with increased runoff and drops during late summer, fall, and early winter when natural runoff is low. In , with the decrease in in-state hydroelectric resources, CAISO imported more power from neighboring regions as well as increased output from gas-fired generation.
Much of the imported power came from hydroelectric dams located in the Pacific Northwest, which also were experiencing low water supply [7]. Electricity generation from the hydroelectric plants correlates directly with actual runoff in California rivers. The U. The USGS operates a stream-gaging network that provides stream flow records and enables the compilation of annual runoff data. Comparing the data used to derive these two curves, one can find an inverse or negative correlation that is strong, with a correlation factor of —0.
When runoff fell, generation from hydroelectric plants decreased, and more gas-fired generators were used. There was 1, MW less of in-state hydro power in the summer of [7]. This was compensated by more renewable generation solar and wind that came on-line, more gas-fired generation, and the import of more power from other northwest states. Besides less power from hydroelectric generation, the drought in caused curtailment of over 1, MW of thermoelectric generation due to the lack of cooling water.
Bureau of Reclamation BOR , the operator of this dam, defines an elevation of When full, Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the United States, but it has not reached full capacity since due to a combination of droughts and increased water demand.
From to the flow of water to Lake Powell from key tributaries in the river basin has been decreasing due to drought-related issues drops in overall precipitation, less snowpack, and earlier snow melt. This extended drought condition is the most extreme drought observed since measurements began in the s. Less water in Lake Powell translates directly into less water for Lake Mead. Since , the water level at Lake Mead has plunged over 40m ft to a low of m 1, ft above sea level in May Levels below m 1, ft have not been recorded since a period of sustained drought in See Figure 2.
The rated plant capacity is about 3 million horsepower. It has 17 main turbines: nine on the Arizona side and eight on the Nevada side. The original turbines were replaced through an uprating program between and [8].
In the U. The guidelines basically stated that at certain Lake Mead elevations, as downstream water demands are curtailed, power production would need to be concurrently reduced. Water Intake Structures for the Hoover Dam There are four water intake, reinforced-concrete, structures for the Hoover Dam, with two on each side of the canyon; see Figure 2.
The diameter of these towers is 25m 82 ft at the base, Each tower is m ft high and each controls one-fourth the supply of water for the power plant turbines. Water intake is through two cylindrical gates, each 9. One gate is near the bottom and the other near the middle of each tower. These bathtub rings became very prevalent in the last five years on lakes and reservoirs in California and big portions of the West due to the droughts.
Enhancing the Power Pool Level of Hoover Dam To lower the minimum power pool elevation to m ft , five new widehead turbine runners, designed to work efficiently with less water flow, have been installed at the Hoover Dam starting in with the final one installed in These turbines enable the Hoover Dam to generate power more efficiently as the water level behind the dam fluctuates between low and high elevations. Previously, a minimal level of m 1, ft above sea level in Lake Mead served as the benchmark to guarantee power generation, but the new turbines would make it possible to revise the minimum water level to ft.
The dead pool level remains unchanged at m ft. Conclusions This chapter discusses the effect of droughts on hydroelectric plants, providing case histories of both types of plants, as they were affected by droughts. A drought can best be defined as a hydrologic condition of water shortage for a particular user in a particular location. Hydroelectric plants require water to generate electricity.
The relation between the two is simple: Less water in a reservoir or river equals less potential for generating electricity. Correlation of hydroelectric power generation to changes in precipitation and river discharge is high, and, close to one. Hydroelectric plants themselves do not consume any measureable amount of water in the process of generating electricity, and water flowing through the turbines and into the river is not considered consumptive because it is still immediately available for other uses.
The variability of weather patterns imposes uncertainty in the operation of hydroelectric Exercises 41 facilities. With the exception of one type of hydroelectric plant—pumped hydro plants—once water passes through the turbines of a hydroelectric power plant, it cannot be reused for power generation in that hydroelectric plant but can be used in plants downstream. Typically run-of-river hydroelectric plants have no pondage. That would subject this type of a plant to more drought vulnerability and to seasonal river flows.
The ability to generate power is diminished by drought if the water supply to the plant cannot be maintained at a certain level or is subject to competing uses of the river.
Electricity production at pumped storage facilities is more resistant to drought because most of the water, less evaporation, at these plants can be reused. Larger bathtub rings imply lower heads. Lower heads yield less power for hydroelectric generation for impoundment-type hydroelectric plants. In California, which has been hit with droughts for five consecutive years, hydroelectric plants have operated at reduced power levels in the summer months, and for fewer hours during spring when water was being conserved and in the fall when water supplies were severely limited.
The gap in hydroelectric generation was filled with gas-fired generation, other renewables such as solar and wind , and power inputs. The supplementary chapter to this chapter is Chapter 3, which details the impact of droughts on thermoelectric generation. Exercises Exercise 2. Solution: From 2.
