Investigation of the environmental impact of wind energy and supplemental energy systems using a life cycle approach

Creator:: Prempreeda, Preedanood
Abstract:: Wind energy is a promising alternative energy source due to its environmental, economic, and social benefits and, as such, has garnered public support and government incentives for its development and implementation. With the growing number of wind parks in Oregon, a life cycle assessment (LCA) study for a representative new...

Identification of Barriers to Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Martz, Allison M.
Abstract:: The US industrial sector accounts for about one-third of the nation’s energy consumption and is predicted to grow twice as quickly as other sectors through 2050. International organizations such as the International Energy Agency project energy efficiency improvements will account for over 40% of greenhouse gas emissions reductions through 2040....

Enabling Feasibility Assessment of Solar Thermal Energy Systems for Industrial Process Heating Applications

Creator:: Karki, Saroj
Abstract:: Existing studies on industrial heat demand have shown that more than 50% of the industrial process heat demand is in the range of low (<60 °C), medium (60-150 °C), and medium-high (<250 °C) temperatures. Most of the manufacturing industries across the world depend on combustion of carbon-based fossil fuels, either...

Process-based modeling for cradle-to-gate energy and carbon footprint reduction in product design

Creator:: Alsaffar, Ahmed J.
Abstract:: Interest in accounting for environmental impacts of products, processes, and systems during the design phase is increasing. Numerous studies have undertaken investigations for reducing environmental impacts across the product life cycle. Efforts have also been launched to quantify such impacts more accurately. Life cycle energy consumption and carbon footprint are...

Integrating sustainable manufacturing assessment into decision making for a production work cell

Creator:: Zhang, Hao
Abstract:: Sustainability has been the focus of intense discussions over the past two decades, with topics around the entire product life cycle. In the manufacturing phase, research has been focused solely on environmental impact assessment or environmental impact and cost analysis in its assessment of sustainability. However, few efforts have investigated...

Process Information Modeling for Characterizing Sustainability Performance of Cyclic Manufacturing Processes

Creator:: Manoharan, Sriram
Abstract:: Sustainability has become an unprecedented priority in global manufacturing due to the growing concerns over issues such as an aging workforce, environmental degradation, and public health. The simultaneous consideration of the economic, environmental, and social aspects – often referred to as the “three pillars of sustainability” – is crucial to...

Integration of Systems Thinking, Viable System Model, and System Dynamics toward Systemic Sustainability Assessment Methodology

Creator:: Tong, Anh B.
Abstract:: The developmental milestones of Sustainability are consistent with the post-normal versus traditional science, where transdisciplinary and policy/action research are among the important approaches to be added to traditional analysis. This shift requires a new perspective to look at the problem at hand: we are no longer considering a group of...
