  • Projecting EU Demand for Natural Gas to 2030: a Meta-Analysis Author
    Title: Projecting EU demand for natural gas to 2030: a meta-analysis Author: Smith, William J. Affiliation: School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, University College Dublin, Address: Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland Contacts: email: [email protected] Phone: +353 1 716 1902 Abstract Gas demand projections for the EU27 from a variety of sources are compared. Projected demand varies widely between sources, even when similar rates of economic growth and policy strength are assumed. The divergence is shown to result from differing assumptions concerning future energy intensity, on the one hand, and the future contribution of nuclear power and renewables (RES) to electricity generation on the other. The variation with time of some of these projections is also examined. It is found that the gas demand projected by both the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the European Commission (EC) for 2020 and for 2030 has tended to decrease with each successive projection. This is understandable, since the penetration of RES-E has continued to exceed expectations. However, in an economically depressed, post- Fukushima Europe, estimates of future growth in both RES and nuclear generation may need significant revision. The Energy Efficiency Directive, as agreed by the Council of the Page | 1 European Union and the European Parliament in April 2012 (Council of the European Union, 2012), will also impact significantly on future gas demand, even though the measures incorporated are weaker than the original proposal. The analysis presented here shows that a “nuclear decline” due to the Fukushima disaster is seen to moderate, rather than reverse, projected demand decay. A significant shortfall in projected RES capacity, if it were to occur, constitutes a potential source of additional gas demand.

The terms and conditions are available online at http://www.iea.org/t&c/ 2015 OECD/IEA, © Secure Sustainable Together Energy Policies of IEA Countries Spain 2015 Review 2015 OECD/IEA, © INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974. Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 29 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency’s aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change. n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of energy data. n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy efficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies.

  • Master Thesis
    Fakultät für Maschinenwesen Master Thesis Author: B. Sc. Joan Sabaté Francés Student ID: 03681351 Critical analysis of important aspects of the decommissioning process for an American and a Spanish nuclear power plant Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Rafael Macián-Juan (TUM, Ntech) Begin: 12/12/2017 End: 12/04/2018 Date of Presentation: 12/04/2018 Abstract Abstract The decommissioning of nuclear power plants is the driving motivation for the present work. However, decommissioning or dismantling of nuclear power plants is a wide topic and it is carried out in different ways in every country. Various factors like experience in previous decommissioning processes, own interpretation of regulations or different management teams lead to distinct decommissioning processes. However, the diverse strategies reach the goals stablished by the international organisms. Although there is a global organization called “International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)”, which “promotes nuclear safety and nuclear security standards and their implementation” [1], every country applies its own procedures or laws based on the directions from IAEA. As a consequence, this work encompasses the analysis of some important aspects of the decommissioning of two nuclear power plants: Vandellòs 1 (located in Spain) and San Onofre (located in USA). The topics analysed are the following ones: Decommissioning strategy Impact on staffing and socio-economic factors Phases of decommissioning The decommissioning management team Waste management 2 Preface Preface This work will examine and analyse how two different nuclear power plants (Vandellòs 1 and San Onofre) have developed some important aspects of decommissioning. The first section will introduce the topic taking the motivation of this work into consideration.

  • Approaches Used for Clearance of Lands from Nuclear Facilities Among Several Countries Evaluation for Regulatory Input
    Author: Robert A. Meck 2013:14Approaches used for Clearance of Lands from Nuclear Facilities among Several Countries Evaluation for Regulatory Input Report number: 2013:14 ISSN: 2000-0456 Available at www.stralsakerhetsmyndigheten.se SSM perspektiv SSM har nyligen beslutat om föreskrifter om friklassning av material, loka- ler, byggnader och mark vid verksamhet med joniserande strålning (SSMFS 2011:2). Föreskrifterna innehåller bland annat krav på att tillståndshavare, vid avveckling av verksamhet med joniserande strålning, ska vidta åtgärder som möjliggör friklassning av lokaler, byggnader och mark. Föreskrifterna innehåller nuklidspecifika friklassningsnivåer i becquerel per m2 för lokaler och byggnader men ger ingen upplysning om vilka friklassningsnivåer som ska tillämpas vid friklassning av mark. Istället anges att SSM ska besluta om friklassningsnivåer för mark i det enskilda fallet och att tillståndshavaren ska upprätta ett kontrollprogram för den provtagning och de mätningar som avses genomföras för att visa att friklassningsnivåerna uppfylls. Under kommande år avser SSM att utveckla föreskrifter och eventuellt även allmänna råd om friklassning av mark som kan ha förorenats med radioaktiva ämnen till följd av verksamhet med joniserande strålning, till exempel drift av kärnteknisk anläggning. Som underlag för detta arbete, och för att bidra till utvecklingen i Sverige av robusta metoder för provtag- ning, friklassningsmätning och utvärdering av resultaten, har SSM låtit genomföra den studie som redovisas i denna rapport. I rapporten görs en utvärdering av olika metoder och angreppssätt som tillämpas i några utvalda länder för att uppnå friklassning av markområden där kärnteknisk verksamhet bedrivits. De olika metoderna och angreppssätten analyseras med avseende på ett flertal olika aspekter. Studien fokuserar på frågan om hur det på ett tillförlitligt och transparent sätt kan visas att angivna friklassningsnivåer innehålls.

The purpose of this report is to investigate Spain’s electricity market, its current situation and present it, using the Swedish system as a reference. The report commences with a presentation of the Spanish and the Swedish electricity markets, followed by a chapter where they are compared. The renewable electricity production and the associated development during the last decade is one focus of the comparison. The other focus is how the costs of the subsidy systems have evolved and how they are connected to the different energy sources. Two sources, wind and solar, receives a higher interest than the others. Wind power shows a strong development in electricity production and contributes to a significant part of the Spanish electricity mix.
