Biomass power generation is a source method of power generation through carbon-contained wastes of various human and natural activities. These wastes are derived from various sources, including the byproducts from the Timber industry, sugarcane crop, woody plants, agricultural residue, oil-rich algae, and the organic part of municipal and industrial wastes. Power generation through biomass is gaining popularity these days. Recovering energy from garbage has developed over the years from the simple incineration of waste in an uncontrolled environment to the controlled combustion of waste with energy recovery and ensuring that emissions are within the limits. Biomass is an ideal substitute for conventional fossil fuels for heating and power generation purposes. There are a number of technical options available to make use of a wide variety of biomass types as a renewable energy source. Conversio technologies may release the energy directly, in the form of heat or electricity, or may convert it to another form, such as liquid biofuel or combustible biogas.

Biodiesel has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a non-toxic fuel because of the environmental benefits it offers. Biodiesel is made from sources such as vegetable oil and animal fat. However, it has not been able to make inroads into the market and gain popularity among users because it is dependent on the availability, quality, and yield of feedstock, which accounts for more than four-fifths of the cost of biodiesel production.

Shunt reactors are used to protect transmission lines from high-voltage fluctuations. Reactance of a transmission line consumes reactive power along the line when it is loaded.

Telecom cable is an insulated strand of wires used to transmit high frequency electrical signals over long distances. Previously, telecom signal transmission used only analog signals, which were transferred through metallic wires, mainly copper wires. However, most of the telecom signal transmission in the present scenario incorporates digital signals. The telephone and cable companies still use the same metallic cables along with fiber optic cables, which are more efficient for carrying the digital signal transmission over a long distance with reduced signal loss.

Increasing penetration of heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) in the residential sector will offer an important opportunity for energy savings, with a theoretical energy savings of up to 63per water heater1 and up to 11of residential energy use (EIA 2009). However, significant barriers must be overcome before this technology will reach widespread adoption in the Pacific Northwest region and nationwide. One barrier is that the demand response (DR) performance and characteristics of HPWHs is unknown. Previous research has demonstrated the potential of electric resistance water heaters (ERWHs) to provide significant grid stability and control benefits through demand-side management, or DR, strategies (Diao et al. 2012). However, if ERWHs are to be replaced with HPWHs to improve residential energy efficiency, it is important to understand the DR characteristics of HPWHs and how these characteristics will impact DR programs and overall grid stability now and in the future. This project evaluates and documents the DR performance of an HPWH as compared to an ERWH for two primary types of DR events: peak curtailments and balancing reserves. The experiments were conducted with General Electric (GE) second-generation Brillion-enabled GeoSpring hybrid water heaters in the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Lab Homes2, with one GE GeoSpring water heater operating in Standard electric resistance mode to represent the baseline and one GE GeoSpring water heater operating in Heat Pump mode to provide the comparison to heat pump-only DR. Signals were sent simultaneously to the two water heaters in the side-by-side PNNL Lab Homes under highly controlled, simulated occupancy conditions. It is expected that Hybrid DR performance, which would engage both the heat pump and electric elements, could be interpolated from these two experimental extremes.
