| Scotland Produced Enough Wind Energy To Power All Its Homes Twice Over
|
| An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: Wind turbines in Scotland generated 9,831,320 megawatt hours between January and June 2019, WWF Scotland said Monday. The numbers, which were supplied by WeatherEnergy, mean that Scottish wind generated enough electricity to power the equivalent of 4.47 million homes for six months. That is almost double the number of homes in Scotland, according to WWF Scotland. By 2030, the Scottish government says it wants to produce half of the country's energy consumption from renewables. It is also targeting an "almost completely" decarbonized energy ...

| SCR urged to construct double line for coal supply to plant
|
| The CMD of Telangana's power utilities D Prabhakar Rao Monday urged the South Central Railway to convert the railway line, which would be used for supply of coal to the 4,000 MW 'ultra mega power plant' at Damarcharla in the state, into a double line. Rao, who had a meeting with the railway officials here, said it has been decided to procure entire coal required for the plant from the state-run Singareni Collieries in the state, an official release said. For the purpose, he urged officials for laying a double line from Kothagudem to Dornakal and from Motamari to Vishnupuram (200 km), according to the release.

| Large vessels as a tree of transmission lines incorporated in the CircAdapt whole-heart model: A computational tool to examine heart-vessel interaction
|
| by Maarten H. G. Heusinkveld, Wouter Huberts, Joost Lumens, Theo Arts, Tammo Delhaas, Koen D. Reesink We developed a whole-circulation computational model by integrating a transmission line (TL) model describing vascular wave transmission into the established CircAdapt platform of whole-heart mechanics. In the present paper, we verify the numerical framework of our TL model by benchmark comparison to a previously validated pulse wave propagation (PWP) model. Additionally, we showcase the integrated CircAdapt–TL model, which now includes the heart as well as extensive arterial and venous trees with terminal impedances. We present CircAdapt–TL haemodynamics simulations of: 1) a systemic normotensive situation and 2) a systemic hypertensive situation. In the TL–PWP benchmark comparison we found good agreement regarding pressure and flow waveforms (relative errors ≤ 2.9% for pressure, and ≤ 5.6% for flow). CircAdapt–TL simulations reproduced the typically observed haemodynamic changes with hypertension, ...

| Cameco awarded $40.3m in damages in TEPCO contract dispute
|
| A tribunal of international arbitrators ruled in favour of Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) in the miner's contract dispute with Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, TEPCO. According to a corporate press release, the tribunal rejected TEPCO's assertion that it had the right to terminate its uranium supply agreement alleging force majeure, and awarded damages to Cameco of $40.3 million. Damages were based on the tribunal's interpretation of losses under this supply agreement. However, the world's largest publicly traded uranium miner was asking for $700 million in damages. Since 2017, its legal team had been alleging that losses due to the cancelled contract would add up $1.3 billion in lost revenue and would affect about 9.3 million pounds of uranium deliveries through 2028, including about 855,000 pounds annually in 2017, 2018 and 2019. "We are pleased that the Tribunal agreed that TEPCO was not entitled to terminate the supply agreement, but we are disappointed with the amount of damages awarded," ...

| SwRI, UTSA researchers create innovative model for sCO2 power generation
|
| Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to acquire data for a computational model for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) energy generation. The work, led by Jacob Delimont of SwRI's Mechanical Engineering Division and Christopher Combs of UTSA's College of Engineering, is supported by a $125,000 grant from the Connecting through Research Partnerships (Connect) Program.

| EPA to limit ability to oppose pollution permits
|
 The Environmental Protection Agency is working to change rules that allow individuals or community advocates to fight agency-issued permits that regulate how much pollution can be released by area power plants and factories, The New York Times reported.
