Innovative technologies and India's energy demand. Foreign trip report, April 22, 1990-April 27, 1990.

摘要

The traveler attended the PACER conference to present an invited paper entitled ''Innovative Transmission and Distribution Technologies,'' under subcontract from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The purposes of the conference were to identify the roles of innovative technologies and to explore approaches for solving India's electric power system needs. India projects a need for 40 to 100 gigawatts of additional electric generating capacity during the next decade. Consequently, all options for satisfying a part of this need other than conventional coal, oil and nuclear production technologies were considered as conference agenda. In particular, the potentials of conservation technologies, renewables, cogeneration, system loss reduction, and advanced coal-based technologies were discussed. 4 refs. (ERA citation 15:034577)
