Carsharing in a small city : Ithaca Carshare's first two years.
Ithaca Carshare launched service in June 2008 as the first independent carsharing organization in New York State, offering anaffordable and reliable transportation option to the residents of the City of Ithaca and Tompkins County. During the first two yearsof operation, Ithaca Carshare registered over 800 drivers who collectively made 14,126 trips totaling nearly 250,000 miles. IthacaCarshare vehicles are scattered throughout Ithaca, where they are proximate to registered drivers. Usage is best during spring andfall seasons, when the academic institutions are in session. The majority of Ithaca Carshare members are between the ages of 20 and34, and many are affiliated with either Ithaca College or Cornell University. The organization serves members across a variety ofincome brackets, indicating the affordability of carsharing services

Design and thermodynamic analysis of a multi-level underwater compressed air energy storage system
Energy storage technologies are essential for the mainstream realization of renewable energy. Underwater compressed air energy storage (UWCAES) is developed from mature compressed air energy storage (CAES) technologies and retrofitted to store offshore renewable energy. Existing UWCAES technologies, however, usually operate at off-design conditions when handling fluctuating and intermittent renewable energy, which compromises the round-trip exergy efficiency. To increase efficiency, a multi-level UWCAES system is proposed. The results show that the exergy efficiency of the multi-level UWCAES system varies from 62% to 81% in different working modes. The exergy efficiency tends toward 62% when more energy is stored in the CAES subsystem and approaches 81% when more energy is stored in the design-integrated battery pack
