Environmental and Economic Comparison of Cooling System Designs for Steam-electric Power Plants

The selection of waste heat rejection systems for steam-electric power plants involves a trade-off among environmental, energy and water conservation, and economic factors. This study compares four general types of cooling systems on the basis of these factors. The cooling systems chosen for study are: once-through systems including surface canals and submerged multiport diffusers; shallow closed cycle cooling ponds; mechanical and natural draft evaporative cooling towers; and mechanical draft dry towers. The cooling system comparison involves, first, an optimization of each cooling system and then a comparison among optimal systems. Comparison is made for an 800 MWe fossil unit and a 1200 MWe nuclear unit located at a hypothetical midwestern river site. A set of models has been developed to optimize the components of each cooling system based on the local meteorological and hydrological conditions at the site in accordance with a fixed demand, scalable plant concept. This concept allows one to compare the costs of producing the same net power from each plant/cooling system. Base case economic parameters were used to evaluate the optimum system for each of the four general cooling systems followed by a sensitivity study for each parameter. Comparison of energy and water consumption follows from the results of the performance model, while comparison of environmental impacts is mostly qualitative. Some quantitative modelling was performed for the environmental effects of thermal discharges from once-through systems, fogging from wet cooling towers and water consumption from the ponds, wet towers and once-through. The results of the optimization models of each of the systems are compared on the basis of: performance - discrete distributions of environmental conditions and transient simulation; economics - using base case scenarios and sensitivity values to arrive at costs expressed in terms of production costs, annualized costs and present value costs; energy and water consumption; and environmental effects. The once-through systems were found to be the least expensive of the four systems, the most energy efficient, but potentially the most environmentally damaging. On the other extreme, dry cooling towers are the most environmentally sound while being the most expensive and least energy efficient. Finally, the results of the economic optimization are compared with results from previous comparative studies.

The World That Trade Created

Society, Culture and the World Economy, 1400 to the Present

In a series of brief vignettes the authors bring to life international trade and its actors, and also demonstrate that economic activity cannot be divorced from social and cultural contexts. In the process they make clear that the seemingly modern concept of economic globalisation has deep historical roots.

Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic

As the 2020 global lockdown became a universal strategy to control the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing triggered a massive reliance on online and cyberspace alternatives and switched the world to the digital economy. Despite their effectiveness for remote work and online interactions, cyberspace alternatives ignited several Cybersecurity challenges. Malicious hackers capitalized on global anxiety and launched cyberattacks against unsuspecting victims. Internet fraudsters exploited human and system vulnerabilities and impacted data integrity, privacy, and digital behaviour. Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic demystifies Cybersecurity concepts using real-world cybercrime incidents from the pandemic to illustrate how threat actors perpetrated computer fraud against valuable information assets particularly healthcare, financial, commercial, travel, academic, and social networking data. The book simplifies the socio-technical aspects of Cybersecurity and draws valuable lessons from the impacts COVID-19 cyberattacks exerted on computer networks, online portals, and databases. The book also predicts the fusion of Cybersecurity into Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics, the two emerging domains that will potentially dominate and redefine post-pandemic Cybersecurity research and innovations between 2021 and 2025. The book’s primary audience is individual and corporate cyberspace consumers across all professions intending to update their Cybersecurity knowledge for detecting, preventing, responding to, and recovering from computer crimes. Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic is ideal for information officers, data managers, business and risk administrators, technology scholars, Cybersecurity experts and researchers, and information technology practitioners. Readers will draw lessons for protecting their digital assets from email phishing fraud, social engineering scams, malware campaigns, and website hijacks.

Strategic Planning for Private Higher Education

With Strategic Planning for Private Higher Education you will improve your effectiveness in strategic planning to ensure the growth, success, and viability of your institution. The book’s emphasis on tested techniques and the examples from the authors’experiences in leading several private educational organizations give you the practical insight you need to learn how to benefit from strategic planning. The entire strategic planning process is covered--from vision casting to evaluation--for all types of private educational institutions, including colleges, universities, seminaries, graduate schools in education and business, and even K-12 academies. Strategic Planning for Private Higher Education will inspire you to make planning happen in a manner that will change the future and make a difference in the life of your institution. You’ll see the strategic planning process from a senior administrator’s perspective in real-time, with the idea of empowering all participating stakeholders for input and ownership of the process. This book shows education administrators, faculty, and students how to: develop a vision that is understood, shared, and acted upon create a mission that adequately communicates “who we are,” to be used in guiding every decision of the institution meet accreditation requirements of institutional effectiveness scan and analyze the external environment for changes that create either opportunities or threats to the institution establish and implement strategy, tactics, and action plans evaluate and control the strategic planning process assess the cultural and internal situation The book’s end-of-chapter questions provide projects and assignments that reinforce the text materials. Also included are sample strategic plans for departments, schools, and colleges illustrating how to apply textual concepts and principles. Yet another valuable feature of Strategic Planning for Private Higher Education is its presentation of a “master” case study illustrating a number of key points, including: interaction between a college president and board of trustees, the use of a strategic planning task force to collect primary data and to expand participation, rewriting the mission statement of the college, and an illustration of a strategic planning calendar in relation to the budgeting calendar.

Strategic planning can become a means of renewal in the life of an organization if the following five significant points (McKinnon, 1994) about planning are remembered: 1. A unifiedmission canbeachieved only whenall segments of the ...
