Success Stories. Selected success stories from ECES member countries are summarized here. These are also included in the End of Term Report. In Belgium, implementation of underground heat and cold storage systems has increased and will continue to increase. So far, 87 aquifer thermal energy storages (ATES) and 214 borehole energy storages (BTES) have been implemented, with plans for an additional 25 ATES and 55 BTES projects in the very near future. Furthermore, several phase change material (PCM) concepts in the temperature range between 40°C and 70°C have been measured and compared, leading to new research on multistage PCM concepts, involving multiple PCM’s with different melting temperatures in the same storage unit. For electric energy storage, work in the annexes has resulted in a handbook on future (electric) energy storage demands. In Denmark PTES (Pit Thermal Energy Storage) has been developed to extend the solar fraction in district heating systems. Water storages of 75,000 m3 and 60,000 m3 were implemented in 2012 and 2013 and two new water storages of 117,000 m3 and 200,000 m3 will be opened in 2015. The solar storages combined with heat pumps offer power to heat services. The storage concept can also utilize excess heat from waste incineration, industrial processes and CHP production. The German government announced 211 a joint RD&D Initiative on Energy Storage Technologies. Currently, there are 273 projects running with approved public funding of €196 million and the same amount of industrial RD&D expenditures. Energiepark Mainz is a combined wind–hydrogen project, where a power-to-gas (PtG) facility is situated adjacent to an existing 8 MW wind park in Mainz. The project partners are Stadtwerke Mainz, Linde, Siemens, and Hochschule Rhein-Main. The main objectives are to implement peak-shaving in distribution grids; demonstrate ways to avoid grid expansion by producing, storing, and using hydrogen in different ways; to bridge the gap between existing small-scale electrolyzers (100 kW) to large-scale devices (100 MW); and to develop a large- scale ionic compressor as well as conduct accompanying research activities. Smart Region Pellworm is another funded project example, studying the use of batteries in distribution grid. The project involves a hybrid power plant: 772 kW photovoltaic and a 300 kW wind power system. The coordinator of the project is E.ON Hanse AG. Research focuses on developing a hybrid storage system and an energy management system, developin...
Success Stories. Among the many individual benefits and successes that have occurred because of the MSU-Malawi partnership, three stories are highlighted in this report (refer to Appendix B for detailed stories):
Success Stories. Two situations occurred at the annual meeting that reinforced the power of the association concept. • One man, who was not as yet an association member, operates an Eco-Tourism business and spoke to the group. He mentioned many ways that he believed the association could work for the betterment of his business. He was very articulate and very persuasive and for someone who has never been part of an association, he gave the best advertisement for one that I had ever heard • A small, older woman was talking about her business, the collection of medicinal herbs and she was describing some problem that she has been encountering when another woman, the owner of another small enterprise suddenly exclaimed with words to the effect “I’ve heard about you and have not been able to find you until this very moment.” At a break shortly afterward, both of them were seen discussing possibilities and each exuded more hope and excitement than any one else at the meetings. This consultant has been involved with many associations and this was the most touching and vibrant moment I have seen at any of them. In addition to those two examples, it is very gratifying to see the look on the association executive director’s face as we discuss a point or procedure and he suddenly understands what it means. He has been working at this for a while without knowing that there are techniques, procedures and even tricks that can be used to accomplish tasks and get involvement. As we would discuss a topic a sudden look of surprise and understanding would come to his face, and I would know that he got it.
Success Stories. 1. Most in-school target students have started giving emphasis to A rather than B. In the Asela Preparatory and Technique School approximately 210 girls underwent the Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) service. In addition, girls took part in a “beauty contest” in which the objective is not to recognize the most beautiful girl in school in relation to her physical beauty as usually practiced, but to distinguish the most confident and “strongest” girl that has successfully overcome challenges in relation to HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. The motto of the contest is “knowing one’s own HIV status is beauty”. The winner then becomes the beauty queen of Asela Preparatory and Technique school for one year. This is will be a yearly event for the school in line with their information dissemination campaign on HIV/AIDS.
Success Stories. Below is a more detailed breakout of past success at select HVAC-focused projects. Each has a brief description of project scope and a summary of how Plug Smart worked with the client to achieve success. Findlay City School District Project Type: HVAC Focused, Design-Build Energy Efficiency and Facility Improvement Facility Type: Academic Project Size: $6.6M Timeline: In year 3 of the 5-year construction plan Success Story: Findlay City School District needed new boilers at several of its schools and wanted to add air conditioning to several others. Findlay City School District had the luxury of approved funding to complete a multi-year phased project approach but did not have a convenient way of contracting a multi- building, multi-year contract that had to shift priorities as different buildings mechanical systems aged. Findlay City Schools partnered with Plug Smart using HB153 because it provided the flexibility and opportunity for cost savings. Xxxx-Xxxxxx Falls City School District Project Type: HVAC Controls Focused, Design-Build Energy Efficiency and Facility Improvement Facility Type: Academic Project Size: $4.2M Operational Savings: $356K/year Timeline- In year 3 of 3 years of the construction plan Success Story: Xxxx-Xxxxxx Falls was stuck in an expensive service contract with a large controls contractor with no way out. Xxxx-Xxxxxx Falls and Plug Smart partnered to tackle both problems utilizing HB153 and energy savings to fund major portions of the project. Plug Smart also helped the district replace failing envelope infrastructure like their aging windows. Washington Local School District Project Type: HVAC Focused, Design-Build Energy Efficiency and Facility Improvement Facility type: Academic Project Size: $2.7M Operational Savings: $180K/year Timeline: In year 2 of 4 construction years Success Story: Washington Local School District needed new boiler plants at several schools, but had no way to pay for the critical infrastructure improvements. The district also badly needed new exterior and interior lighting to improve light quality of inefficient T-12 fluorescents and Metal Halide exterior fixtures. Plug Smart was able to utilize the savings created from the lighting energy savings, building automation improvements, and other energy savings improvements to pay for the much=needed new boiler plants. Archbold Local School District Project Type: HVAC Focused, Design-Build Energy Efficiency and Facility Improvement Facility type: Academic Proj...
Success Stories. Girls in technology Girls in technology is not a common scene to see in The USAID Education for Children and Youth Photo: ECYP Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxx When I was a little girl I liked the idea of building robots or things like this, but now that I know how to do it, I like it even more. Now I know what I am going to become in the near future. I want to go to college and study Industrial Engineering our schools. Boys will always be inclined to do activities related to innovation, math, and technology. It is the same perception people have about girls and math: “They are not as good as boys. Girls have more language skills than math skills.” Xxxxx Xxxxxx from Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx School in San Xxxx Xxxxx has proved them wrong. She is the middle child of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx. With a younger brother that looks up to her as her role model and an older sister that is very proud of her little sister, Xxxxx has been able to be the exception to the rule. Her professor came to her three months ago with an amazing opportunity. The Education for Children and Youth Project assigned him the mission to teach basic principles of robotics and video games. His first move was to make a team with the best students he has in his computer science class. Xxxxx, at her 14 years old, is in the top 5 of his class and made it to the robotics team. She never thought she had the ability to learn about programming or even construction. Recently, the school competed in a national robotics competition. Xxxxx was one of the students that help with the programming of a robot that would read with a sensor a rubrix cube. The 3D combination puzzle is solved in seconds by the robot, thanks to the programming Xxxxx did with her team. “This is a complete team effort. All we had was the intention to do something innovative, our professor´s support and internet access. We did a lot of tries. The structure was very complicated. We had to assemble and take to pieces several times until we got it right.
