Efficiency and Reliability – A Win/Win for Utilities and Consumers Ice Energy & Our Ice Batteries Greg Miller EVP Market Development & Sales [email protected], 970-227-9406 Discover the Power of Ice Ice Energy Mission Transforming Air Conditioning, which is the Principal Driver and Root Cause of Peak Demand driving the Highest Energy Cost Periods of the Day/Season, Into a Clean, Flexible and Reliable Energy Storage Resource for Utilities and Consumers, Enabling Energy Consumption Pattern Changes Automatically without Cooling Sacrifice Utility and Consumer Use Case Example: . Southern California Edison Ice Bear Program (Orange County) . Installing 1800 Ice Bears at commercial & industrial buildings to reduce 26 MW of HVAC peak load from 2 pm to 6 pm every day without cooling sacrifice . Utility objective is to reduce SCE substation energy constraints for Johanna and Santiago substations . Opportunity for consumers is to permanently reduce HVAC peak load and shift HVAC energy consumption to night time periods saving thousands of dollar with little to no investment – includes 20 years free Ice Bear annual maintenance Energy Storage: Barriers for Some, Advantages for Ice Major Competitive Advantage Lowest cost, longest lasting battery on the market, most environmental friendly battery using Water/Ice as energy storage media Extremely reliable 98%+ availability over 35 million operating hours, 1400+ units deployed to date, 14 years in business Environmentally Friendly & Safe No fire and no use of chemical – storage media is water.

Systems Approach to Management of Water Resources—Toward Performance Based Water Resources Engineering
water Article Systems Approach to Management of Water Resources—Toward Performance Based Water Resources Engineering Slobodan P. Simonovic Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The University of Western Ontario, London, ON N6A 5B9, Canada; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-519-661-4075 Received: 29 March 2020; Accepted: 20 April 2020; Published: 24 April 2020 Abstract: Global change, that results from population growth, global warming and land use change (especially rapid urbanization), is directly affecting the complexity of water resources management problems and the uncertainty to which they are exposed. Both, the complexity and the uncertainty, are the result of dynamic interactions between multiple system elements within three major systems: (i) the physical environment; (ii) the social environment; and (iii) the constructed infrastructure environment including pipes, roads, bridges, buildings, and other components. Recent trends in dealing with complex water resources systems include consideration of the whole region being affected, explicit incorporation of all costs and benefits, development of a large number of alternative solutions, and the active (early) involvement of all stakeholders in the decision-making. Systems approaches based on simulation, optimization, and multi-objective analyses, in deterministic, stochastic and fuzzy forms, have demonstrated in the last half of last century, a great success in supporting effective water resources management. This paper explores the future opportunities that will utilize advancements in systems theory that might transform management of water resources on a broader scale. The paper presents performance-based water resources engineering as a methodological framework to extend the role of the systems approach in improved sustainable water resources management under changing conditions (with special consideration given to rapid climate destabilization).

The process of soil freezing was simulated based on the theory of the energy and mass conservation equations and the equation of mechanical equilibrium. The accuracy of the model was verified by comparison with the experimental results of soil freezing. One-side freezing of a saturated 10-cm-high soil column in an open system with different parameters was simulated, and the effects of the initial void ratio, hydraulic conductivity, and thermal conductivity of soil particles on soil frost heave, freezing depth, and ice lenses distribution during soil freezing were explored. During the freezing process, water migrates from the warm end to the frozen fringe under the actions of the temperature gradient and pore pressure.

Ice Storm Learning Module
Ice Storm Learning Module In the United States there are over 1.4 million car accidents each year that occur due to freezing precipitation. From these accidents, there are over 600,000 injuries and 7,000 deaths. Freezing precipitation is responsible for about 20% of all weather- related fatalities, and thus it is abundantly clear why we must learn how freezing rain forms in winter low pressure systems 1. Our goal in this learning module is to first uncover the meteorology of ice storms and then discuss winter storm safety. Figure 1. Images from an ice storm in Arkansas in 2009. Source Introduction The National Weather Service will issue a freezing rain warning on the forecast of at least ¼ inch accumulation of ice. Aside from making automobile travel treacherous, ice is extremely heavy when it accumulates on trees and power lines. In fact, a ½” coating of ice on a single, standard length (300 ft) power line in a residential area can add nearly 300 lbs of weight. Put an inch of ice on the same power line and you will add 800 lbs! It is easy to see why the power lines are down in the images in Figure 1. As an interesting side note, at the University of Illinois all power lines are buried beneath the ground to protect the university’s power infrastructure in the event of a major ice storm. Before we dig into the meteorology behind an ice storm, let’s take a few minutes to learn some important facts about ice. 1. Liquid water is more dense than ice.
