Considering the economic importance of the electricity generation sector as well as its contribution to local, regional and global pollution, the development of new cost-effective and environmentally benign electricity generation and cogeneration systems i ...
Among renewable energy sources biomass plays a major role. Several paths for improving the conversion of biomass with minimum burden on the environment are being pursued worldwide. This paper reviews some of the most recent results from research at the Swi ...
Micro-cogeneration in residential applications is one of the efficient ways of improving the energy conversion efficiency in buildings. Cogeneration systems will cover electrical and thermal needs while reducing both energy bills and CO2 emissions. Thanks ...
The operation of the small size cogeneration gas engine (6 cylinders, 122mm bore, 142mm stroke) modified for unscavenged prechamber ignition was experimentally investigated. The objective was to evaluate the potential to reduce the exhaust gas emissions, p ...
This report presents the field tests synthesis of a small Hybrid Solar Power Plant integrating three technologies : hermetic volumetric scroll expander - generators working with two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) a cogeneration group composed by a ...
A medium size diesel engine converted to natural gas operation on the Otto principle has been studied under stoichiometric and lean burn operation in order to evaluate the potential to reduce the NOX exhaust gas emissions below the stringent limit prescrib ...
The paper describes two 3.9 MWth ammonia heat pumps of a District Heating plant which also includes two gas turbine cogeneration units. After nine years of reliable operation the heat pumps still show excellent coefficients of performance of above 4.1. Thi ...
A predictive optimal control system for micro-cogeneration in domestic applications has been developed. This system aims at integrating stochastic inhabitant behavior and meteorological conditions as well as modeling imprecisions, while defining operation s ...
