However, evidences for using the health damage costs cannot be found in the literature in order to include the effects in its production costs. In this study, the health damage costs due to Thai electricity generation produced from fossil fuels which operated during the period from 2006 to 2008 were evaluated. Based on the impact pathway approach (IPA), the main airborne pollutants (SO2, NOX, and PM10) were formed in fossil fuel burning stage and emitted directly from stack to the atmosphere. The advections of the pollutants including secondary particulates (sulfate and nitrate aerosols) were simulated using the CALMET/CALPUFF modeling system. Damages to human health resulting from the increment in pollutant concentrations were associated with the exposure-response functions (ERFs) of mortality and morbidity. Finally, costs of such impacts were then estimated. The results showed that more than 300 deaths were annually caused by all considered sources which taken more than 90% of the total damage cost. The largest problem was influenced by oil/gas-fired power plants. As a result, the health damage costs were relatively significant to electricity market price. Taking the damage costs into account will be beneficial to energy and environmental policy implications.","PeriodicalId":272782,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Development: Issues and Strategies (ESD 2010)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133374967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It results in air flows because of the difference of the density varied with vertical direction. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the ventilation efficiency of solar chimney using experimental and computation fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. In the simulation, models of buoyancy force and radiation heat transfer were applied to compute air flow inside the chimney. The influence of heat flux in a range of 400–800 W/m2 and 1 to 2 m height of solar chimney on the ventilation efficiency was investigated. It was found that the ventilation efficiency and air flow rate are increased with increasing the heat flux and height of solar chimney. In addition, CFD simulation shows good agreement with experimental results.","PeriodicalId":272782,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Development: Issues and Strategies (ESD 2010)","volume":"16 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131070606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Test results show that mini-hydro generating units connected in the distribution network are capable of operating in the islanding mode without sacrificing the system stability. Hence, in the case of supply outage or substation maintenance required to de-energize some equipment, the islanding operation of mini-hydro generating units will have a great opportunity to improve the continuity of service.","PeriodicalId":272782,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Development: Issues and Strategies (ESD 2010)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134327562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of renewable energy (RE) sources is one of the feasible options. Malaysia is amply endowed with RE sources and is environment-friendly in nature. However the RE capacities are grossly under-utilized, particularly from biomass and solar energy. The Malaysian Government recognizes the potential of RE as an alternative to ensure the sustainability of energy resources. Thus, the green technology policy was launched to promote the utilization of low carbon energy and technology of which RE has been identified as the promising green energy option. In addition to current RE incentives, concerted efforts are underway to embark on programs to promote the green technology market in Malaysia. This paper will identify the key issues and challenges of RE development in Malaysia and explore the merits of establishing Green Technology Policy in order to adopt a green economy for sustainable future in Malaysia.

The current paper introduces the major research in this regard and crowned by the grant of National Energy Project recently approved. The solar and wind energy are adopted for the innovative “Air Power City” utilizing compressed air energy of zero-emission to substitute the common petrochemical energy from gasoline. Wind turbines and sterling engines are examined to convert the wind power and solar power to mechanical energy. For solar energy, film deposit by sputtering with a quaternary CIGS compound target is studied to meet the requirement for mass production, large deposition area and high throughput for commercial purposes. A vertical type of small wind turbine blades integrates the specialties to develop key components of composite material wind turbine as well as the high performance converter. The effective system integration is explored to reduce the overall cost and enhance performance. The next-generation electrochemical supercapacitors more advanced than the EDLCs in both energy and power densities are being developed utilizing double-layer and faradaic capacitances. Enhancement of energy efficiency by recycling energy waste is often practiced for the high-temperature industrial waste heat, while the low-temperature waste heat is hardly reused but dumped into the environment. Thermoelectric generator (TEG) converts heat into electricity when a temperature difference exists across the TEG module, and is considered perfectly suitable for low-temperature waste heat harvesting. A prototype generating 300 watts at 12 volts with a temperature difference of 150 °C will be demonstrated. Finally, the CO2 reduction is endeavored including the capture by chemical absorption, physical adsorption, chemical looping process, and conversion of CO2 into energy products.","PeriodicalId":272782,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Development: Issues and Strategies (ESD 2010)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130433222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
