Quantitative Thermography

Global climate change is one of the most important challenges and threats to economic, social and environmental sustainability.. Reducing electrical power demand is an important and necessary step in lessening global climate change and preserving our energy resources for future generations. The objective of this work is the development and demonstration of a quantitative thermographic system to rapidly and noninvasively determine in-use electrical motor efficiency. The development has included testing of four motors in a controlled laboratory setting. This setting permits the complete and steady measurement of electrical power draw, mechanical load applied in addition to the thermal imaging. It provides a reliable means to validate the quantitative thermographic system. The thermographic technique proved to be reliable for all motors at 60% or more of full load.

The World

<p>Increased concerns about regional and global climate change in recent decades has led to a significant expansion of monitoring, observational, and experimental sites in remote areas of the world. During this same time, advances in technology and availability of low-power equipment, have allowed increasingly sophisticated measurements with an increasingly wide variety of instruments, sensors, and sensor networks. However, the deployment and use of these technologies in remote locations is restricted not only by harsh environmental conditions, but by the availability of electrical power and communication options. With this presentation we would like to share our experience of designing and building hybrid energy (solar and wind) module that can be used to provide power and communication capabilities for remote installations.</p>

The Relationship

This paper considers the challenge to global social policy posed by global climate change. It sets side by side global social policies and global climate change policies, and surveys the governance of each. The first part summarises global social policy in recent years, distinguishing (1) the policies and practices pursued in the global arena, and (2) the structures of global governance and the role of significant global actors. The second part repeats this at a greater length for global climate change. The third part then considers the relationship between these two sets of policies/practices and governance structures, in particular the potential conflicts between the pursuit of social justice and environmental sustainability. It identifies two possible responses – compensation and co-benefits – and maps these onto current global actors, before concluding with a radical vision of eco-social policy.

The Past

Concepts of environmental justice and environmental sustainability have attracted steadily increasing interest amongst political theorists and political scientists in the past few decades. The explosion of interest in normative and policy dimensions of global climate change since the negotiation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) of 1992 have only accelerated this interest. Nevertheless, there is continuing disagreement in the literature concerning the meaning of sustainable development, the connection between environmental sustainability and norms of global and intergenerational justice, weak vs strong sustainability, and the extent to which normative theory can contribute to the implementation of policies of sustainable development. This chapter explores the conceptual development of environmental sustainability, and aims to show how normative theory can enrich the discussion of sustainable development in theory and in practice.
