Abstract:
The hydro cracker complex (HCC) operating area is one of the areas with the most use of chemicals, and several workers complain about the noise in that area. This research determines the level of health hazard risk through a health risk assessment (HRA) focusing on physical, chemical, and biological hazards in the HCC area aims to improve the health status of workers and as a basis for developing occupational health programs to minimize the risk of occupational diseases. This study used primary data (walkthrough survey, interviews, heat stress measurements, noise, lighting, chemicals, fungi, and bacteria) with a cross-sectional method referring to the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM). The dangers of gasses and chemicals are the most common hazard in the HCC area. Based on the risk assessment, five hazard ratings with the highest risk were obtained, namely noisy environment (extreme), H2S gas (extreme), heat stress (extreme), NH3 gas (high risk), and hydrocarbon vapors (high risk). Existing controls and control recommendations must be applied comprehensively and consistently so that the company can accept the resulting residual risk value.

Abstract:
In the most common cases, the first generation creates his business, accumulates wealth and waits for the right chance to hand them over to the second generation. The case study on Fotile Co. provides a perspective of both entrepreneurship and succession of family business. In 1996, Mao Li Xiang and his son, Mao Zhong Qun, started together a business on kitchen products. On the view of product life cycle, Mr. Mao Senior produced the clip reeds subcontracting for the state-owned TV set company and electric gas-lighting for international trade which were manufactured with imitation and at last waned after several years, until in 1996 he devoted himself to the third products, Chinese kitchenware, and beat Western technology with domestic technology and design in meeting the needs in Chinese kitchens. On the view of his individual life cycle, Mr. Mao Senior began with the accountant and salesman in commune and brigade enterprise in the 1970’s, manager of in the township and village enterprises in the 1980’s and the owner of family business in 1990’s when he handed over the right of control and finished the professionalization of management, the upgrading of enterprises as well.

Abstract:
A study of a parking lot lighting of a large manufacturing company in Iowa was implemented to evaluate monthly energy consumption. Mercury light bulbs with 227W ratings on the light poles were replaced with low power energy efficient LEDs to increase the overall efficiency. Additionally, a small scale wind turbine was installed to supply power to experimental light poles. Migration from the current gas bulbs to the LED light results yielded about 60% energy savings, while capital gains due to the generation of wind energy returned about 80% savings per month which recovered initial investments on the assets. The environmental impact of this study cannot be neglected and it also provided opportunity for STEM education in colleges and wind energy awareness in the society in Iowa by showing benefits from current experiments. Details of the methods and analyses should be particularly useful to urban planners because they show how standard references on investment in automobile parking should be modified to include efficient energy management. The authors proposed new way to limit the cost of energy consumptions and environmental pollution on wildlife and human health. Research implications are discussed in terms of the impact of natural features in urban areas for reduction of green house gas emissions and promoting alternative energy sources.

Abstract:
A retrospective of the origin and development of light sources is given depending on the history of human development and the creation of fundamental sciences: mathematics, physics, and electrical engineering. Four stages of development and creation of artificial light sources in buildings and structures are proposed. A detailed description of the pre-electric period (regular use of fire by the man; the Bronze Age, the middle Ages and modernity) is presented. The second period begins with the opening of the voltaic arc, which can be called the beginning of the electric period. Illustrations of each discovery with lighting of rooms and buildings of the corresponding period are presented. The period of inventions, which led to the beginning of the third, gas lighting period, is described. This period includes, among other things, the combined use of gas lighting devices with electric lighting and combined gas-electric lighting. The fourth period begins at the beginning of the third millennium and continues to the present. During this period new alternative lighting sources appear along with incandescent lamps and gas-electric sources. Lighting engineering is becoming an independent branch of science and is being studied in all universities of our country, which increases the rate of appearance of new inventions and types of calculation. There are such lighting sources as fluorescent and LED lamps and fixtures. At the end of the article, the opinions of scientists on the prospects for the development of artificial lighting according to various criteria are presented. The article is provided with a large number of illustrations for all stages of development.

Abstract:
Solar Electric Lighting Company (SELCO) was established in 1995 to serve the energy needs of people living at the base of the pyramid in Karnataka, India. The CEO, Dr Satish Hande, focused on developing need-based customized solar energy products for off-grid customers. During the initial years, the company faced financial problems to meet its operational needs, which was eventually overcome. Solar Electric Lighting Company came up with several innovative products that increased productivity of customers. Though the products sold were priced low, care was taken to ensure that product quality was not compromised. The company subsequently faced several challenges. The appointment of dealers in lieu of its own branches did not deliver desired results. Increase in input costs landed SELCO in losses. Pressure from investors for profits when the company was facing financial crisis was the toughest of them all. Having overcome the obstacles, SELCO became profitable, expanded operations in six states of India and installed 200,000 solar lighting systems in a period of two decades. Several growth options presented themselves to Dr Hande. The most prominent being the need to make a choice of staying focused on customized products for the poor or cater to the upmarket, high-growth and profitable segment.

Abstract:
Abstract Often the criteria for designing office lighting is to increase efficiency through a bright and evenly distributed lighting. Yet, research has found that this static lighting leads to an unstimulating, boring, and dull luminous environment that supports neither task focus, nor a pleasant atmosphere. The goal of this paper is to create a closer connection to a natural light environment by designing an office lighting that inspired by light as natural phenomenon creates a lively and more nature-based atmosphere. We developed a lighting design with focus on analysing the perceived atmosphere as a metric for a dynamic lighting design for a meeting room of a real estate company in Denmark. Through a mixed method approach, we explore the design factors that determine the desired natural atmosphere. Our design aims at enhancing the function of the meeting room as a formal space where negotiations are held by 1) presenting the identity of the company to the business partners; and 2) supporting employees’ sense of belonging to the company culture. As a result, our lighting design creates a lighting hierarchy in line with the architectural elements of the space, complementing daylight through electric lighting in a dynamic way, accounting for both sky-type and daylight inflow.

Founded in 1892, General Electric set out to dominate the American electrical industry. This article is an explanation of how the company accomplished this goal in the highly profitable electric lamp (“light bulb”) market. GE's techniques included technology leadership through in-house development and the purchase of patent rights, discriminatory agreements with suppliers based on market power, and cartel arrangements of various sorts, both foreign and domestic. The article shows how one company was able to use financial and market power, combined with early control of a rapidly developing technology, to gain and then hold a major American market for half a century.

Abstract:
This work aims to reuse the electric energy used in three-phase induction motors of an industrial plastic injector for the lighting circuit of the same warehouse where the injectors are located, thus eliminating the need to use the energy of the electric company. Any resource that reuses electricity with better efficiency becomes essential today, making it a solution for industries that are thinking of saving the energy used in the productive processes in the manufacture of goods.This project uses a synchronous generator coupled to a three-phase induction motor of a plastic injector, which will reuse the electrical energy used of the induction motor to mechanically drive the synchronous generator, that will be able to generate enough electrical power in its coils for a 47-light shed lighting circuit, thus eliminating the need to use utility power, saving a portion of the energy usage costs on the monthly bill. This installation of the synchronous generator was performed on equipment of the company Moto Honda da Amazônia, which has a 24-hour operating regime for six days a week.

Full text
Abstract:
Construction of the Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie (also known as the Pacific Intertie) began in 1964, following the culmination of a series of interrelated negotiations which included: 1) the planning for the construction and operation of the Pacific Intertie; 2) the passage of federal legislation that put limits on the export of electricity from the regions where it was generated; and 3) the full ratification of the Columbia River Treaty between the United States and Canada. By 1970, with construction complete, the Pacific Intertie allowed for the movement of more than 4,000,000 kilowatts of power among the electrical systems of British Columbia and eleven Western states, including 243 rural electrical cooperatives, municipal systems, and other public agencies. It had essentially become the backbone of the largest electrical grid in the Western world. In addition to widening the marketing area available to power producers throughout the grid, the Pacific Intertie also integrated the operations of the nation's largest hydropower system (Bonneville Power Administration), the largest privately owned electrical system (Pacific Gas & Electric), and the largest municipal power system (L.A. Department of Water and Power) in the country.

Abstract:
AGL Electricity (AGLE) is one of the four privately owned electricity distribution companies in the Australian State of Victoria. Due to its operations in a regulated environment, AGLE's objective is to meet the distribution network performance standards set by the Victorian government's Essential Services Commission (ESC). Two performance measures are of major importance: average minutes off supply per customer and average number of intermptions per customer. These performance measures are adversely impacted by unplanned outages caused by faults occurring mainly on overhead distribution feeders. To improve these two performance measures, there has been a need to implement a scheme on AGLE's overhead distribution network that would contain long term effects of a fault within the feeder section that directly experienced the fault, leaving the remaining feeder sections and their customers on supply. To achieve this goal a means of fault detection and location, augmented by automatic isolation of the faulty feeder section, is required. To that extent, AGLE was faced with a dilemma presented by typical fault detection and location scheme applications on complex distribution networks, i.e. reliable fault location resolution versus affordable implementation and maintenance costs. This dilemma was resolved through the extensive feasibility study carried out by the author of this thesis.

Abstract:
Office work has so far been carried out in company buildings and was largely based on the use of paper on a horizontal surface. Due to multiple reasons, more workers are working in their homes with electronic devices. As a result, both the working environment and personal tools are changing. Since the discovery about 20 years ago of the non-visual ways of light absorption, it was known that apart from the image forming effects (IF) of light from which the criteria for correct lighting have been developed, non-image forming effects (NIF) of light exist. The discovery of NIF has enhanced researcher belief in the importance of daylighting and has raised new criteria to be taken into account for proper interior lighting. Due to all the factors mentioned above, the parameters to be met by a luminaire and its environment for proper lighting of the workstation have been modified and expanded. The rapid advance in the development of new light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires with which the spectral power distribution (SPD) can be practically created opens the door to a genuine technological revolution comparable to the invention of electric lighting around 150 years ago. The authors of this study will review the latest published studies on the importance of light in our lives, IF and NIF effects of light, the parameters which from these effects are suggested to be taken into account for a correct indoor lighting, the regulations in force on indoor lighting workplaces, and proposals to improve indoor lighting and therefore the quality of life of workers.

Abstract:
Due to the increasing demand for petroleum use as fuel, there has been a focus on the production of fuel that has a huge possibility for long-term energy sustainability. Synthetic gas (Syngas) is generated by means of a thermochemical technique known as gasification, which converts carbonaceous feedstocks (biomass, crude oil residuum, municipal waste, petroleum, and coal) to syngas. It contains carbon monoxide and hydrogen as the key elements of inflammable gas. It is widely used for gas lighting in coal gasification method before availability of electric lighting, gas turbine fuel, raw material for liquid fuels and the synthetic natural gas, and anode gas of solid oxide fuel cells. It is synthesized either through the gasification of plant-based biomass or pyrolysis of waste. This chapter will focus on the information, which has been rounded up over the last decades on syngas properties, sources, and production at a competitive advantage, as well as application and future technological advancement.

Abstract:
In terms of emissions from combustion, natural gas, composed mainly of methane (CH4), is the least polluting of the fossil fuels. Per unit of energy produced, CO2 emissions from natural gas are 45.7% lower than those from coal (lignite), 27.5% lower than from diesel, and 25.6% lower than from gasoline. As discussed by Olah et al. (2006), humans have long been aware of the properties of natural gas. Gas leaking out of the ground would frequently catch fire, ignited, for example, by lightning. A leak and a subsequent fire on Mount Parnassus in Greece more than 3,000 years ago prompted the Ancient Greeks to attach mystical properties to the phenomenon— a flame than could burn for a long time without need for an external supply of fuel. They identified the location of this gas leak with the center of the Earth and Universe and built a temple to Apollo to celebrate its unique properties. The temple subsequently became the home for the Oracle of Delphi, celebrated for the prophecies inspired by the temple’s perpetual flame. The first recorded productive use of natural gas was in China, dated at approximately 500 BC. A primitive pipeline constructed using stems of bamboo was deployed to trans¬port gas from its source to a site where it could be used to boil brine to produce both economically valuable salt and potable water. Almost 2,000 years would elapse before natural gas would be tapped for productive use in the West. Gas from a well drilled near Fredonia, New York, was used to provide an energy source for street lighting in 1821. The Fredonia Gas Light Company, formed in 1858, was the first commercial entity established specifically to market natural gas. Joseph Newton Pew, founder of the Sun Oil Company (now Sunoco), established a company in 1883 to deliver natural gas to Pittsburgh, where it was used as a substitute for manufactured coal gas (known also as town gas). Pew later sold his interests in natural gas to J. D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. The early application of natural gas was primarily for lighting, not only for streets but also for factories and homes.

Abstract The walls of industrial buildings, as well as their roofs, were engineered to provide light and ventilation for manufacturing space. Invariably, the goal was to replicate ideal outdoors conditions-the brightness and comfortable temperature of a June day. Daylight, especially northern light, was preferred for manufacturing space because of its high quality and low cost. Even after the introduction of gas and electric lighting, natural light was cheaper and better for close work and matching colors. Artificial light was used to supplement daylight during the early morning and late afternoon hours only as necessary. The term daylight factory became prevalent when reinforced concrete and steel framed construction nearly doubled the amount of wall space that could be devoted to window openings. The large windows that extended from pier to pier and nearly from floor to ceiling created previously unimaginable lighting conditions in loft buildings.

Abstract Amory Houghton Jr. Spent the summer of 1909 in Robbinston, Maine, as he had for several years, and returned to Corning around September 1. Bedridden for a few weeks, he died at his home in early November, at the age of seventy-two, and was buried in the family plot at Hope Annex Cemetery. More than the four children and eight grandchildren he left behind, or the civic positions he held in the city and his church, or his multimillion dollar estate, Amory Houghton Jr.’s true legacy was the Corning Glass Works, the struggling company he and his brother Charles had transformed into a leading competitor in the glass industry. At his death, the works maintained exclusive contracts with the largest customers in its two main lines of business-railroad glass and electric lighting products. The company had annual sales of s1.5 million and employed several hundred workers, making it six times bigger than the average American glassmaking firm. And it turned profits every year, having paid dividends consistently since 1880.

Abstract:
This paper studies the social-economic impacts of carbon trading on pricing management and the low-carbon behavior of automobile companies. We propose a game model between electric vehicles and gas-powered vehicles. Further, the influence of carbon trading on automobile selling price, sales volume, and sales profit are analyzed from the production mode of a certain company that only produces gas-powered vehicles. Our research contributes to the optimization of automotive companies’ pricing, production management, and practices in the face of carbon emission quotas restrictions. The profit function was used to establish a game model for the single condition of producing only gas-powered vehicles, and the optimal sales price and profit of gas-powered vehicles were obtained by backward induction. (1) By adjusting the carbon limit, the government can promote the transformation of the automobile industry. (2) Carbon trading presents an opportunity for businesses with lower carbon emissions to mitigate the competitive disadvantage they face in the market.

Abstract:
An optical sensor system extends gas temperature measurement capability in turbine engines beyond the present generation of sensor hardware for production engines. The sensing element incorporates a thermally emissive insert to generate an optical signal proportional to the gas temperature at the tip of the probe. The use of a sapphire lightguide allows operation above the melting point of nickel based alloys. Sensor development for aircraft turbines has included flight hardware for use on the Fiber Optic Control System Integration (FOCSI) Program sponsored by NASA Lewis Research Center. The optical probe harness measured exhaust gas temperatures in a General Electric F404 engine. Signals from four probes were optically combined at a single detector assembly to determine the average gas temperature. A comparison of optical and thermocouple temperature measurements was conducted during a preflight engine test. The durability of the probe design has been evaluated in an electric-utility operated gas turbine under the sponsorship of the Electric Power Research Institute. The temperature probe was installed between the first stage rotor and second stage nozzle on a General Electric MS 7001B turbine at Houston Lighting and Power Company. Two probes have been used in the field test and they have a combined total of 4660 hours of operation near 1600°F and 330 starts.

Abstract:
Most gas turbine generators rely on a mechanical starting system to accelerate the gas turbine generator from zero to some intermediate speed to enable gas turbine ignition and then provide torque assistance to a higher speed until the gas turbine is self-sustaining. In the past, both automatic and non-automatic methods of disconnecting the starting system from the turbine have been used. This paper presents the reasons for and details of the retrofit of automatic synchronous self-shifting clutches into existing starting systems of General Electric MS-5001 gas turbine generator sets at Consolidated Edison Company, Brooklyn, New York.

Full text
Abstract:
The eight General Electric MS7001B gas turbines in combined cycle service at the T.H. Wharton Station of Houston Lighting and Power currently have 85000 hours of operation with 2000 starts. The units are ready for their second major overhaul. A number of hot gas path components will require replacement at that time. Rather than replacing components one by one the user devised a Program for Reliability, Improved Maintenance and Efficiency (GT Prime) with an objective of achieving twenty additional years of trouble free service. Fortunately, the supplier had developed many improved parts for his newer units which could be applied to older machines with an attendant increase in component life, inspection intervals, system reliability, availability and performance. The significant impact on customer operating costs resulted in a very attractive payback period. A contract for modification of all eight units was signed in December, 1991. Teardown of the first unit for modification started in November, 1992 with the rebuild and test completed in July, 1993. This paper will discuss turbine condition, differences between the old and new parts, improved performance and reduced emissions attained as a result of implementing the program.

Hopper. L30500 Analysis of the Effects of High-Voltage Direct-Current Transmission Systems on Buried Pipelines. Chantilly, Virginia: Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI), January 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.55274/r0010196.

Full text
Abstract:
The economics of high voltage direct current for long-distance transmission of electrical energy have been reported as very attractive, to the extent that several projects are in the making. Several reasons other than the savings in transmission costs, for example the exchange of peak power between time zones and seasonal zones, would permit utilities to save on plant investment for generating capacity while maintaining a high level of service. This report summarizes work on the initial phase of a study to determine the effects of high-voltage direct-current (H.V.D.C.) electric transmission lines on buried pipeline systems. Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. initiated this work in response to an anticipated threat posed by the Pacific Northwest-Southwest Intertie H.V.D.C. system now being designed (and other possible H.V.D.C. lines in the future) because of the announced plans to pass direct current through the earth. The objectives of the overall program are:(1) To determine the nature and magnitude of problems that will be created by the earth current from H.V.D.C. systems, and(2) To devise means of protecting pipelines from the effects of such currents. A computer program was written based on a mathematical model of a buried pipeline in the environment created by an H.V.D.C. system. Excellent agreement was obtained between computed soil potential gradients and measurements obtained during a field test of H.V.D.C. in Oregon. Reasonably good agreement was also obtained between measured pipe-to-soil potentials on the Pacific Lighting Gas Supply Company pipeline near Camino, California, and computed values during a field test of H.V.D.C. power transmission.

Abstract:
Lighting accounts for approximately 15 % of the global electric energy consumption and 5 % of greenhouse gas emissions. Growing economies, higher user demands for quality lighting and rebound effects as a result of low priced and more versatile electric lighting continuously still lead to an absolute increase of lighting energy consumption. More light is used, often less consciously.
