Exploring Renewable Energy: Distributed Generation and Waste-to-Energy in Los Angeles County

This study by Hugo Sarmiento investigates the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and waste-to-energy (WTE) power plants in Los Angeles County. DERs are small-scale power generation technologies situated near consumption sites, enhancing traditional electricity systems. WTE plants convert waste into energy, simultaneously reducing landfill biomethane gas emissions and offering energy recovery solutions. Key skills utilized include geoprocessing, geocoding, and various mapping techniques to visualize and analyze these energy systems in the region.

  1. Renewable Sources of Energy: Distributed Energy Generation & Waste to Energy Power Plants in Los Angeles County By Hugo Sarmiento UP 206A

  2. What is Distributed Energy? • Distributed energy resources are small-scale power generation technologies located close to where electricity is used (e.g., a home or business) to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system.

  3. What is Waste to Energy? • Waste to Energy Power Plants create energy from incinerating waste source (typically from landfills). It is a form of energy recovery. • WTE Power Plants provide the additional benefit of reducing biomethane gas levels produced by landfills.

  4. Skills Used • Geoprocessing (slides 3,5,6&7) • Geocoding (slides 3&5) • Buffering (slide 6) • Graduated Point Symbol (slide 5) • Inset Map (slide 7) • Inserted Pictures/ Images (slide 3)
