Technical & White Papers

To verify the accuracy of the Johnson-Ettinger model, a newly developed semi-static headspace test apparatus was utilized to simulate field conditions under laboratory-controlled conditions.

Existing MGP sites that are being decommissioned and environmentally remediated may benefit from an analysis of the site's potential for reuse or redevelopment. Prioritizing sites for reuse can help maximize the value of the land over the long term.

Investment in the electric transmission and distribution industry is booming. This boom is supported by four fundamentals: the need to maintain system reliability, the need to deliver generation to load, the need for environmental and regulatory compliance, and the need to replace T&D assets that have reached the end of useful life.

White paper: Owners of industrial, commercial or institutional boilers will soon be required to comply with new, stricter U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) air emissions requirements.

Technical paper: Explores the possibilities of integrating common sustainable design strategies into Northeast Utilities' standard substation plans as part of the response to the ever-increasing customer demand for sustainable environmental practices.

As Southern California Edison builds infrastructure to bring wind power to population centers, it is fulfilling environmental requirements that may be a glimpse of things to come.

Electric utilities are rapidly deploying the Smart Grid by automating their electrical supply networks with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), advanced distribution automation (ADA), synchrophasor measurement technologies or other strategies. Water utilities can also benefit from improved monitoring and control in their retail distribution system.

During the past two decades, a continuing progression of research studies have identified the ways in which transportation infrastructure investment leads to economic impacts and defined frameworks for calculating those impacts. At this same time, politicians across the political spectrum have opined on the importance of the transportation system in maintaining commerce as well as national and international competitiveness.

White paper: Examining the value of the Smart Grid to customers and regulators in the areas of cost, the environment, security, reliability and efficiency.

A project approach guideline for compliance with the NERC Facility Ratings Methodology Level 2 Alert, issued October 7, 2010, governing all electric utility industry transmission planners, owners and operators.
