Fuel Cycle Sample Clauses

Fuel Cycle. The fuel cycle includes the electricity production with the supply of the fuel to power plants, the electricity distribution network and the charging station. The main issue to be addressed is the choice of the electricity generation technology and mixes, e.g. analyzing the time dependent electricity generation mix of a country: choice of the annual average electricity production or mix, or the additionally (marginal) produced electricity for meeting the electric vehicles load. In cases where significant amounts of electricity are stored, e.g. in hydro power pumping plants, the electricity mix of consumption might be more relevant for LCA than the production mix. If fluctuating renewable electricity from wind or solar power is used, the key question is whether the renewable electricity ends up in the battery of the electric vehicle or if other effects are initiated in the grid. In the best case, the production of the renewable electricity needs to be harmonised with the charging of the electric vehicle. In most of the cases, the use of only (fluctuating) renewable electricity or in some specific cases electricity from variable hydro power (not pumped storage) must be combined with an adequate electricity storage system (including storage losses). Otherwise, a realistic share of (fluctuating) renewable electricity from wind and solar along with thermal power generation from biomass or fossil fuels must be considered. Furthermore, it must be ensured that the renewable electricity for the EVs is additional to what would have been produced without the electric vehicles load, as shifting the use of the currently generated renewable electricity from a stationary application to the mobile application (i.e., for EV recharging) brings no additional environmental effects. 2016 IA-HEV ANNUAL REPORT Summarizing, it has to be born in mind that the consideration of renewable electricity for the charging of electric vehicles is justified only if this renewable energy is specifically and additionally generated for this purpose. The four main options of connecting renewable electricity with the loading of the electric vehicles are the following (Figure 3):

  • Compressed Work Week The Company and Union recognize the concept of the compressed work week. It is further understood that the compressed work week conditions will apply only to those departments that are on the compressed work week.

  • Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Xxxx has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Xxxx. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Xxxx (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Xxxx, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Xxxx will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.

  • Extra Trips a. Bus Drivers may be absent from driving part and/or all of their regular bus routes to take an extra trip. This will include Kindergarten route, shuttles, and noon Xxxxx Drivers. For Pay purposes the extra trip begins at the end of the driver's regular route. b.
