Page 312 - ... technologies offer a significant opportunity to increase diversity and flexibility within energy markets. By these means, renewable energy technologies provide the option of directly matching various energy requirements with local renewable resource availability. Modularity of renewable energy systems allows additions to be made in comparatively small increments, resulting in short lead times, reduced planning uncertainties, and comparatively small capital outlays over short time periods. In...
Page 653 - Three of the projects, as mentioned earlier, are associated with the enhanced materials effort which began in FY 1984: the Center for Advanced Materials (CAM) at LBL, the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL), and the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at BNL. The CAM project consists of two buildings: A Surface Science and Catalysis Laboratory which will provide state-of-the-art instrumentation and facilities...
Page 625 - ... electroweak" framework. In addition, a theory of the strong force has emerged which Is consistent with observation. There is increasing anticipation that the unification of the strong nuclear and the electroweak forces into one "grand unified" framework may be possible, thus reducing the apparent number of forces in nature to two.
