Current legal and institutional issues in the commercialization of phosphoric acid fuel cells
Legal and institutional factors affecting the development and commercial diffusion of phosphoric acid fuel cells are assessed. Issues for future research and action are suggested. Perceived barriers and potential opportunities for fuel cells in central and dispersed utility operations and on-site applications are reviewed, as well as the general concept of commercialization as applied to emerging energy technologies
Fundamental Limits of Nonintrusive Load Monitoring
Provided an arbitrary nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) algorithm, we seek
bounds on the probability of distinguishing between scenarios, given an
aggregate power consumption signal. We introduce a framework for studying a
general NILM algorithm, and analyze the theory in the general case. Then, we
specialize to the case where the error is Gaussian. In both cases, we are able
to derive upper bounds on the probability of distinguishing scenarios. Finally,
we apply the results to real data to derive bounds on the probability of
distinguishing between scenarios as a function of the measurement noise, the
sampling rate, and the device usage.Comment: Submitted to the 3rd ACM International Conference on High Confidence

High pressure rotary piston coal feeder
This feeder concept uniquely combines the functions of solids feeding, metering, and pressurization into one compact system. Success with the rotary-piston concept would provide a lower-cost alternative to lock-hopper systems. The design of the feeder is presented, with special emphasis on the difficult problem of seal design. Initial tests will be to check seal performance. Subsequent tests will evaluate solids-feeding ability
