Energy Sources Adoption Analysis
Energy Sources Adoption-Technologies

More Update Post: 06_06_2008

Several considerations are currently being explored to the end of determining the energy source that is most effective to be adopted as the default energy source for the world in replacement of the fossil fuels. Under the influences of the Entrepreneurial Mindset of the lone entrepreneur, or small capital Venture Capitalist seeking to fund a base technology for a venture, or the maverick technology enthusiast wishing to undertake the development of venture by self, some power generator-related technologies  are being experimented with at the individual level instead of the corporate level as was in the old, [although that does not imply absence of similar research and development efforts at the corporate level completely].

The technology (ies) by which energy sources are adopted impact the selection process towards its sustained adoption as the preferred source of energy. Each energy source seems to have several competing technologies by which to adopt the energy source. 

Some of these technologies: Biofuel Technologies, Solar Power Technologies, Water Power Technologies, Wind Power Technologies, et al are being experimented with at the individual level instead of the corporate level as was in the old, although that does not imply absence of similar research and development efforts at the corporate level completely. Experimental assessment of the technologies, however, is generally an expensive exercise particularly when such evaluation or studies involve the consideration of several variables.

Each of these technologies that are being experimented with upon full development should become a Distributed [Power] Generator Process. There are two aspects of the development of each technology as reflected by the various Energy Source Reviews and the Alternative Energy Source Review: First there has be a very clear and well-defined component that captures the energy from its raw source and then makes it available to the processing component that actually makes the energy available either as electrical potential or thermal potential. For the purposes of storage the easiest means of


storage is with electrical potential. In order to make the energy capture and preprocessing self-contained in presentation it has been treated separately. The technology components that are employed to capture the energy from its raw state are used as base technologies for development the corresponding Distributed [Power] Generator Process.

Effectively then, for each energy-capture technology component, several concept design power generator system would need to be developed and complete engineering studies, even if at the abstract mathematical level, will be conducted both to determine feasibility and the efficacy. As part of the analysis, the several concept designs may be subjected to optimized engineering with the final design being considered as choice. These concept Power Generation Process designs, of course, may in some cases turn out be of proprietary quality in which case the analysis may not be made public until intellectual property rights have been secured in some form.

Effectively, mathematical analysis of the adoption technologies, to enable the impact assessment of each of the energy technologies, is essential as a first step in performing comprehensive evaluation of the technology adoption analyses. These analyses are also necessary in moving towards a determination of the best remediation technology power generator system that can support the operation of the GHG Emission Remediation Technologies. Actually, for the purposes for  establishing base technologies for supporting the GHG Emission Remediation Technologies, any one of these Power Generator Systems may also be  redesigned as necessary to interface nicely with the Legacy Power Generator Systems.

These studies are quite expensive; although in the corporate setting, such expenses are easily borne, however, for the lone entrepreneur or small capital Venture Capitalist seeking to fund a base technology for a venture, such extended studies can be draining. The same is also true for the maverick technology enthusiast wishing to undertake the development of venture by self. In both of the latter cases the extra cost of engaging a research technologist to support the analysis is virtually


impossible. Yet such studies and analysis are  necessary to move the project forward as well as  fully map the parametric space of the product and the process technology.
