The current opportunities and challenges for offshore wind in the United States

Over the past decade, offshore wind installations have expanded dramatically in Europe and China, increasing renewable energy presence in these markets. However, the United States lags in offshore wind development despite significant coastline and wind resource availability. Each coast of the United States possesses unique opportunities and challenges to installation due to variations in bathymethry and weather patterns. This paper reviews the planning and installation challenges of offshore wind turbines in the United States by incorporating lessons learned from offshore wind plants already in place in other countries. The goal of this paper is to provide a review of offshore wind turbine installation methods by highlighting challenges unique to this form of renewable energy in the United States.

The far-reaching impact of bioterrorism

Deliberate releases of biological agents to cause harm are now a reality. The bioterrorism attacks in the United States have affected Europe through the fear and false alarms they have generated. The member states of the European Union, working with the European Commission, are improving their planning and coordination to cope with deliberate releases of biological, chemical, and radiological agents designed to damage health. In this endeavour they are drawing from the lessons learned in the United States and cooperate closely not only with the United States but also with Canada, Japan, Mexico, and other countries, as well as the WHO. Health authorities and health services are in the forefront of this effort

Digital identity

The lack of conceptual clarity reflected by the overload of the word is confounding the ubiquitous practice of risk management via identity management. Thus we clarifies the nature of identification in a digital networked world, as opposed to a paper-based world. The examples and the context are identification as used in law enforcement in the United States. Together the definitions and the examples illustrate the importance of developing policies with recognition of the social implications of technical change.     

Health care, public health, and the food and agriculture critical infrastructures

The safety of U.S. citizens and the global consumers of U.S. food products is at significant risk. Approximately 76 million people in the United States contract an illness from consuming contaminated food products each year, 325,000 of these victims require hospitalization, and approximately 5,000 die from their illness [1]. Contaminated food product incidents from 2006 to the present highlight the severity of this risk. The spinach Escherichia coli (E. coli) outbreak in 2006, the iceberg lettuce E. coli outbreak at Taco Bell restaurants in 2006, the peanut butter salmonella outbreak in 2007, the contaminated pet food outbreak in 2007, and the nationwide salmonella outbreak initially thought to have been caused by contaminated tomatoes in 2008 caused widespread national concern and demanded that the U.S. Government should adopt a national approach for ensuring U.S. food product safety. With approximately one in four U.S. consumers contracting illnesses from contaminated food products annually, the United States must develop and use a national food product safety management enterprise architecture (EA) to protect this critical national infrastructure industry.

Economics of the Columbia River Treaty

For more than 50 years the Columbia River Treaty has amplified the power and flood risk benefits for Canada and the United States by regulating flows on the Columbia River. The Columbia River Treaty resolved the externality of downstream benefits but created another when ecosystems were adversely affected. In addition, the power sharing calculations have become obsolete and the flood risk provision will revert to an annual operation in 2024. All this has precipitated a new negotiation between Canada and the United States to modernize the Treaty. This research analyses the objectives for this negotiation and strategies to achieve it in terms of economic principles.

Diversifying risk in portfolios using a variable‐size genetic relation algorithm

One important concept in financial risk management is the diversification process of capital allocation. This paper proposes an evolutionary approach for the optimal diversification when making asset allocation using variable‐size genetic relation algorithm (vs‐GRA), whose main role is to model and evolve structures toward effective and diversified portfolios through its graph structure. Simulations using heterogeneous and globally located asset classes in the United States, Europe, and Asia show that the proposed scheme offers competitive economic advantages. © 2012 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Educational Laboratories in High-Voltage Engineering

A survey was conducted on the availability of high-voltage educational laboratories in the universities of various countries. The purpose of the survey was to establish whether education in this area of electrical engineering has kept pace with industrial growth. The results show that in the United States only five such laboratories are known to be in active existence. These are not used for instruction but only for research. Elsewhere, 70 percent of all institutional laboratories were built after 1960. The survey has also revealed many interesting and surprising figures regarding the use, the equipment, the size, and the staff of their laboratories. It is concluded that a great need for such facilities to ameliorate the quality of instruction and research in high-voltage engineering exists in the United States.     

Wind energy's promise, offshore

In November 2001, Cape Wind Associates, a Boston-based energy development firm, began the permitting application process with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build the first offshore wind farm in the United States. The historical context and significance of the application, and of its continuing review process, is profound. On a global level looms ever-increasing evidence and recognition of the impacts of fossil fuel use and of resulting climate change. There is, correspondingly, increased urgency to develop renewable energy sources. And the world's demand for energy, especially in developing countries, continues to soar. Unlike the United States, Europe's response to the threat of global climate change has been to ratify the international Kyoto treaty on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To achieve its targets under Kyoto, Europe has turned primarily to wind energy.

Transmission Congestion Management During Transition Period of Electricity Deregulation in Thailand

Transmission congestion management (TCM) plays a significant role in power-system operation under today's deregulated environment. Its two major functions are to maintain power system within security limits and to collect money from market participants paying back to transmission-grid investors. The TCM issue has been widely debated during the past decade. It is still an extensively discussed opened issue in the current competitive environment. In the United States, Pennsylvania New Jersey Maryland (PJM) with nodal congestion management based on renowned locational marginal price and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas with zonal congestion management are two successful stories of TCM under different operation schemes. Although the PJM model is adopted in some developing countries where the processes of restructuring of Electricity Supply Industry is still under the beginning phase, many concerns, such as advances in an information technology, energy security, social equity, price volatility, and the need to subsidize poor consumers, are necessitate factors to be considered before the establishment of TCM and settlement processes. Taking into account the above concerns, this paper proposes a TCM model for the electrical utility industry in Thailand during the transition period to the deregulated environment.
