A COMPETITIVENESS STUDY OF FOUR RICE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

Seecharan, Denny; Jacque, Andrew Eliel - Caribbean Agro-Economic Society - CAES - 2007

Rice imports into Trinidad and Tobago in 2005 represented approximately 95% of domestic demand. Local production has been declining since reaching a peak of 21,000 tonnes in 1992. Present production is 3,500 tonnes. Rice is produced under a variety of production systems and on farms of varying...

ORGANIZING A FRAGMENTED AND DISORGANIZED PRIVATE SECTOR – THE CREATION OF NON- TRADITIONAL AGRIBUSINESS CLUSTERS AND NICHE MARKETS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF CARIBBEAN AGRICULT...

Amiel, Keith - Caribbean Agro-Economic Society - CAES - 2007

Some concerns relating to the demographics of the region as they impact on agricultural production were discussed. Traditional agriculture was in many instances on the decline. Competitive elements have been seizing the opportunity to supply the region through import substitution. Small and...

Thermodynamic analysis of CAES/TES systems for renewable energy plants

Grazzini, Giuseppe; Milazzo, Adriano - In: Renewable Energy 33 (2008) 9, pp. 1998-2006

A thermodynamic analysis is presented for an energy storage system without combustion and including thermal recuperation (adiabatic compressed air energy strong (CAES)). The storage volume is optimized and a system layout with thermal storage (TES) and variable configuration is designed. The...

The value of compressed air energy storage in energy and reserve markets

Drury, Easan; Denholm, Paul; Sioshansi, Ramteen - In: Energy 36 (2011) 8, pp. 4959-4973

Storage devices can provide several grid services, however it is challenging to quantify the value of providing several services and to optimally allocate storage resources to maximize value. We develop a co-optimized Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) dispatch model to characterize the value...
