US Municipal Desalination Plants

Dataset Mickley, Mike

This submission presents results and observations from a series of surveys of US municipal desalination plants conducted during the last 20 years. The surveys were conducted to determine the number, characteristics, and concentrate disposal practices of US desalination plants. Each survey was intended to identify and contact each US plant that produces 25,000 gpd or more. This cutoff eliminated smaller plants that serve truck stops, mobile home parks, hospitals, campgrounds, etc. Succeeding surveys did not undertake to recontact all previously contacted plants but focused primarily on plants built since the initial survey.
Clock Agreement Among Parallel Supercomputer Nodes

Dataset Jones, Terry R. ; Koenig, Gregory A.

This dataset presents measurements that quantify the clock synchronization time-agreement characteristics among several high performance computers including the current world's most powerful machine for open science, the U.S. Department of Energy's Titan machine sited at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These ultra-fast machines derive much of their computational capability from extreme node counts (over 18000 nodes in the case of the Titan machine). Time-agreement is commonly utilized by parallel programming applications and tools, distributed programming application and tools, and system software. Our time-agreement measurements detail the degree of time variance between nodes and how that variance changes over time. The datasetmore »« less
Municipality of Anchorage Household Travel Survey

Dataset Team, TSDC

The 2002 Household Travel Survey for the municipality of Anchorage, Alaska, collected demographic, socioeconomic, and travel information about households and persons (age five and older) on an assigned, 24-hour travel period. The main objective of the study, conducted by NuStats, was to improve the transportation system. 2,035 households were recruited to participate in the study. Of these, 1,293 completed travel logs depicting detailed data on driving habits, such as purpose of the trips, time of the data, and mode of transportation—spanning from April 1, 2002, to May 17, 2002. This dataset is part of the Metropolitan Travel Survey Archive, whichmore »« less
Hand me the franchise agreement: municipalities add another policy tool to their clean energy toolbox

Journal Article Cook, Jeffrey J. ; Aznar, Alexandra ; Grunwald, Bryn ; ... - Solar Energy

A growing list of the more than 20,000 municipalities in the United States are considering pathways to achieve renewable energy goals. One emerging trend is for municipalities to incorporate energy objectives into their franchise agreements with an electric service provider. Franchise agreements are contracts between municipalities and utilities that grant the utility authority to serve customers in the municipality. In some cases, municipalities have negotiated renewable energy objectives into these agreements. It is still unclear how many municipalities have exercised this authority and to what effect. From a national dataset of 3500 franchise agreements, we selected five cities that adoptedmore »« less
