Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) deployed in battery energy storage systems (BESS) can reduce the carbon intensity of electricity-generating sector and improve environmental sustainability. The aim this study is to use life cycle assessment (LCA) modeling, using data from peer-reviewed literature public private sources, quantify impacts along supply chain for cobalt, a crucial component many types LIBs. seeks understand where stage are highest, thus highlighting actions that be taken...
This comparison of five power plants in West Texas is intended to provide various decision-makers and stakeholders with a holistic picture the life-cycle environmental impacts associated these plants. A key contribution this analysis that we assumed all generate same amount electricity over 30-year life, taking 500 MW combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant as benchmark. Also, two cases, added battery storage wind solar PV facilities render them nearly dispatchable CCGT. We included entire...
The literature on sustainable tourism is scant, particularly in the least developed countries. Very few studies touch upon concept and no holistic theoretical or conceptual frameworks around idea of have been formulated. This study aims at exploring role tour operators developing Pakistan how (TOs) conceive their this regard. TOs were reached through phone calls, emails, virtual sources as face-to-face interviews not possible due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions travel by government....
Stemming plugs are one of the widely used accessory in surface mining operations.Stemming assist conventional stemming material gas retention and help better fragmentation explosive utilization.Effective use results economic benefits enhance efficacy project.Economic productive viability have been conducted depth by different researchers.Addition to a new system requires ergonomic challenges for operators conducting drilling blasting operation.Induction newer product already established is...
The use of stemming plugs in surface blasting is gaining popularity because the environmental, technical, and economic advantages. Although previous studies have established operational effectiveness different types plugs, evaluations ergonomic impacts are lacking, thereby hindering their application many mining operations. Consequently, a significant proportion operations end up performing less efficient blasts. We evaluated three by conducting multiple full-scale production results show...
Abstract Rubber tire loaders are key loading equipment for surface and underground mines can load up to 35 t of material in a pass. Efficient initial penetration into the pile improves overall efficiency operation. For efficient design good penetration, we need predict accurately resistive forces encountered by these buckets during penetration. This paper examines on bucket as function rake angle, height above digging floor, speed, tractive effort A 1/16th scaled representative model an 18...
As with other engineering design tasks, mine involves setting objectives and constraints (the feasible solution space) finding the optimal alternative. Mine engineers often struggle to incorporate preferences of local community members into their evaluation alternatives because mining literature lacks tools quantify such risks during planning. This paper presents an approach evaluate acceptance (i.e., for alternatives) using discrete choice models decision-based Using a rigorous framework,...
We discovered a minor mistake in our modeling of the lithium component Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that was used this manuscript [...]
