International
Colloquium on Environmentally Preferred
Advanced Power Generation
Advanced Power Generation:
1 Megawatt to 1,000 Megawatts
The International Colloquium on Environmentally Preferred Advanced
Power Generation (ICEPAG) is a three-day international colloquium
focused on advanced DISTRIBUTED GENERATION and
CENTRAL POWER technologies. The conference will be held February
9-11, 2010, at The
Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California, which is just
minutes away from John Wayne Airport; the University of California, Irvine;
and Newport Beach.
The colloquium is organized by the National
Fuel Cell Research Center and the Advanced
Power and Energy Program at the University of California, Irvine in
collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy; the European Union;
the United Nations; the Pacific Rim Consortium on Energy, Combustion,
and the Environment; and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
It is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The theme of ICEPAG 2010 is “Advanced Power Generation: 1 Megawatt
to 1,000 Megawatts.” The conference features a plenary session followed
by sessions in three tracks. Presentations address the technological,
environmental, regulatory and market aspects of the featured technologies,
including (1) emerging international activity, (2) development of international
markets, and (3) the potential for collaboration among participating countries.
The three tracks are described below.
Track 1: DISTRIBUTED GENERATION TECHNOLOGIES
(1 Megawatt to 50 Megawatts)
This track addresses (1) the existing and emerging technologies for distributed
generation (DG) at the site of use including system performance, facility
integration, waste-heat recovery, and control; (2) grid connectivity and
ramifications; and (3) the implications of electricity as a fuel for vehicles.
The track emphasis is directed to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,
criteria pollutant emissions, and urban air quality impacts; the co-generation
of transportation fuels; and case studies that address the economics of
deployment.
Track 2: CENTRAL PLANT TECHNOLOGIES (100
to 1,000 Megawatts) and CCS
This track addresses the existing and emerging technologies for central
plants and carbon capture and sequestration including (1) system concepts,
system performance, carbon mitigation, and control; (2) the challenges,
opportunities, and ramifications associated with large renewable deployment;
and (3) grid integration and security. The track emphasis is directed
to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, criteria pollutant emissions,
and urban air quality impacts, the co-generation of transportation fuels,
and case studies that address the economics of deployment.
Track 3: RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIES and GRID
RAMIFICATIONS
This track addresses the existing and emerging technologies for renewable
technologies and energy storage at both the scales of distributed and
central power generation, and the ramifications on managing and controlling
the grid with a high percentage deployment of renewable resources.
