District energy systems could be used together with centralized and decentralized energy conversion technologies in order to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions. One way to transfer the produced energy from these technologies to users is to implement the co ...
In the present context of finding ways to decrease CO2 emissions linked with human activity, district energy systems including polygeneration energy conversion technologies are likely to play a major role. District energy systems meet the heating, hot wate ...
In the spring term 2008 the ALICE pavilion team designed Overflow as a large-scale archi-tectonic artifact interacting with the tidal movements at the Thames River. Conceived as a flexible post-tensioned polystyrene structure, fastened along the embankment ...
We present the results of time-integrated searches for astrophysical neutrino sources in both the northern and southern skies. Data were collected using the partially completed IceCube detector in the 40-string configuration recorded between 2008 April 5 a ...
Tidal Current Energy can be eligible as one of the most interesting renewable and clean energy resources with the promise of a regular and predictable production of electricity. In the framework of the "MWATFORCE" Project from GUINARD Energies, a ducted ti ...
The sun is the biggest known source of energy in our solar system. We feel its strength when it gets hot during the the day and we notice its absence during the night when we feel cold. So as to be less dependent on the sun as an energy source, we implemen ...
This paper analyzes the sustainable domestic biomass potential for bioenergy in Switzerland. Relevant biomass resources were selected based on expert interviews and literature analyses. A definition of technical and sustainable biomass potentials was devel ...
In the current economic situation regarding electric generation and conservation of the environment, it is essential to develop sustainable technologies. From this point of view, hydropower is an excellent resource with a consequently high value. The syste ...
In 1998, the Board of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology established the challenging vision of the 2000 W society. The goal is to reach, for Switzerland by the year 2050, an energy intensity target of 2000 Wyear/year/cap. Referring to a present inte ...
In this study, we investigated the effect of beach slope for a coastal aquifer adjacent to a low-relief estuary. The waste was suspected to discharge leachate towards the estuary. Field observations at various locations showed that tidally induced groundwa ...
