Characterizing Linkages Between the Climate, Cryosphere, and Impacts on Run-of-River Hydropower in Data-Sparse Mountain Environments

Creator:

Mosier, Thomas M.

Abstract:

In many regions of the world, a significant portion of the surface water originates in mountain headwaters where the timing and magnitude of streamflow is largely dictated by the seasonal storage of precipitation as snowpack and long-term storage as glaciers. Accumulation, persistence, and melt of snow and ice are functions...

Evaluation of thermal energy storage requirements for a geothermal based district heating system

Creator:

Lawrence, Thomas M.

Abstract:

The thermal energy storage requirements for a district heating system utilizing geothermal energy is evaluated with respect to the system design heating load and local climatic conditions. The local climate pattern is represented by a series of events which characterize the nature and sequence of the cold spells that can...
