Description
A project of the Colorado State University Food Systems Initiative and LiveWell Colorado, the Colorado Food Systems map aggregates relevant food systems indicators and makes them available to all stakeholders. We hope that this map is useful to communities throughout the state as food system initiatives are planned, implemented and evaluated for the social, environmental, and economic effects.

The objective of the research program is to develop design parameters of systems for thermal/mechanical conversion of solar energy to electric power at minimum cost per kilowatt-hour generated. Systems of 3MW to 300MW sizes in a public utility network are considered. Parametric performance and cost models are derived for key elements of the system. A sequential optimization program was developed using these models to determine optimum subsystem sets...
