Publisher: ElsevierCountry: CanadaWe present a new two-level rolling horizon optimization framework applied to a zero-emissions coal-fueled solid-oxide fuel cell power plant with compressed air energy storage for peaking applications. Simulations are performed where the scaled hourly demand for the year 2014 from the Ontario, Canada market is met as closely as possible. It was found that the proposed two-level strategy, by slowly adjusting the SOFC stack power upstream of the storage section, can improve load-following performance by 86% compared to the single-level optimization method proposed previously. A performance analysis indicates that the proposed approach uses the available storage volume to almost its maximum potential, with little improvement possible without changing the system itself. Further improvement to load-following is possible by increasing storage volumes, but with diminishing returns. Using an economically-focused objective function can improve annual revenue generation by as much as 6.5%, but not without a significant drop-off in load-following performance.

This Publication is written by members of the ISCI 3A12 class of 2011 Working in small groups, students in ISCI 3A12 examined the science behind wine making, from the art of viticulture to its eventual consumption by the public. Students performed literature-based reviews and original research in order to understand the wine industry and its complexity; including the environmental requirements and consequences of winemaking, the short- and long-term health effects of drinking wine, and what factors contribute to the quality, aroma, and taste of wine. This research was formatted to resemble a publicly accessible scientific article, and compiled to create each Vintage of Terroir.
