Detection Electric Field Control Strategy For Advanced Scanning Detection Of Focusing Multipoint Current Sources In Coal Mine Roadway, Liu Zhimin, Meng Cairu, Li Bing, Han Lei, Pan Yue

Coal Geology & Exploration

In order to realize the effective detection of electric field focusing depth and deflection angle scanning of focusing multipoint current sources in coal mine roadway, and accurately grasp its variation, according to the advanced scanning detection mechanism, Gauss theorem and two different methods were used to solve the integration process and derive the electric field line equation of a uniformly charged linear electrode with finite length. The electric field line equation of coplanar multi-electrode layout is induced and deduced through using its spatial distribution symmetry. By changing focusing shielding current ratio coefficient, this paper calculates the boundary line equation of …

Seamless Lidar Surveys Reveal Rates And Patterns Of Subsidence In The Mississippi River Delta, Celeste E. Woock

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar) data are used to report the temporal and spatial patterns of subsidence as well as the potential contributors to subsidence within the Barataria and Terrebonne Bays. In recent decades, subsidence in southeast Louisiana has become a topic of substantial and growing concern to the scientific community, the local residents, and all those invested in the region. Lidar data were acquired from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the LSU Center for Geoinformatics. The data has been manipulated to map the differenced Lidar, complete an instantaneous slope analysis, and determine the thickness of the Holocene …

An Integrated Resource Plan For Public Service Company Of Colorado (Psco), Rawley Loken, Alex Smith

Master of Science in Energy Systems Management

An Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is a tool used by load serving entities (LSEs) to plan how they will meet forecasted energy demand and system reliability requirements through a combination of supply-side and demand-side resources. The goal of an IRP is to identify the lowest cost option to meet future load while also adhering to policy requirements. For Public Service Company of Colorado’s (PSCo) IRP process, a suite of generating resources, storage capacity, and demand-side management programs are all considered when developing a plan that meets state and utility regulatory requirements and environmental targets.

In 2016, PSCo’s system peak demand …
