Traditional Energy Exploration, Processing, and Generation Sample Clauses

Traditional Energy Exploration, Processing, and Generation. This sector includes fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal) and nuclear energy. The full cycle of traditional energy encompasses exploration of new energy sources, extraction of natural resources, processing into usable fuels, and generation of power. Potentially Relevant NASA Resources ▪ Near-real time data on weather fluctuations and events affecting energy production ▪ Improved characterization of GHG and non-GHG emissions to help guide climate change assessment and mitigation Current Status/Relevant Issues Remaining U.S. oil fields are becoming increasingly costly to produce because much of the easy- to-find oil has already been recovered. However, for every barrel of oil that flows from U.S. fields, nearly two barrels remain in the ground. DOE’s Fossil Energy program is exploring new technology to find and produce much of this “left-behind” oil.45 NASA Earth science resources may be useful in such exploration issues. Another current oil and gas issue is exploration and production in relatively new areas (e.g., Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge). Other issues for consideration include oil and gas exploration, oil spill management, pipeline monitoring, and oil shale mining. There has been a large increase in planned natural gas-fired power plants in recent years, and DOE reports that 900 of the next 1,000 U.S. power plants will use natural gas.46 This increase has spurred natural gas pipeline additions and expansions. Proposals for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals to meet growing U.S. demand have also increased in recent years, with five currently operating in North America and another 55 proposed terminals.47 Natural gas has also become increasingly popular 45 U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Resources, Oil, xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/engine/xxxxxxx.xx?BT_CODE=OIL. Accessed July 21, 2005. as an alternative transportation fuel. NASA Earth science resources may be useful in siting/monitoring LNG terminals and natural gas pipelines. For energy generation from fossil fuels, there are a variety of siting, permitting, and operating issues. Power plant siting and permitting issues include fuel location/transportation, grid interconnection, and environmental concerns. Meteorological and climatological information, in connection with supply and load forecasting, is used for operation planning. Currently utility companies have in-house or consultant-based expertise to help guide operations relying on private sector- and/or NOAA-produced data. While there is c...

  • Electric Storage Resources Developer interconnecting an electric storage resource shall establish an operating range in Appendix C of its LGIA that specifies a minimum state of charge and a maximum state of charge between which the electric storage resource will be required to provide primary frequency response consistent with the conditions set forth in Articles 9.5.5, 9.5.5.1, 9.5.5.2, and 9.5.5.3 of this Agreement. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the physical capabilities of the electric storage resource; (5) operational limitations of the electric storage resources due to manufacturer specification; and (6) any other relevant factors agreed to by the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Developer. If the operating range is dynamic, then Appendix C must establish how frequently the operating range will be reevaluated and the factors that may be considered during its reevaluation. Developer’s electric storage resource is required to provide timely and sustained primary frequency response consistent with Article 9.5.5.2 of this Agreement when it is online and dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. This excludes circumstances when the electric storage resource is not dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or dispatched to receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. If Developer’s electric storage resource is charging at the time of a frequency deviation outside of its deadband parameter, it is to increase (for over-frequency deviations) or decrease (for under-frequency deviations) the rate at which it is charging in accordance with its droop parameter. Developer’s electric storage resource is not required to change from charging to discharging, or vice versa, unless the response necessitated by the droop and deadband settings requires it to do so and it is technically capable of making such a transition.
