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 ...
An interesting correlation between the quench pressure and the generated power was observed in the quench runs of the QUELL experiment. The experimental results indicate that the instantaneous values of the quench pressure and power generated by the normal ...
Integrated solar combined cycle systems (ISCCS) represent, both economically and energetically, a promising alternative for the conversion of solar energy while offering a guarantee of a minimum power supply independant of the level of solar radiation. The ...
From the standpoint of an energetically and economically efficient waste elimination, the design and operation of optimized incineration power plants with the cogeneration of electricity and heat has become today an important issue. Decision models develop ...
Thermal solar power plants using Rankine cycles closely approach the present economical electricity prices, at least in the large power range. One of the advantages currently explored is the integration with other fuel based technologies in order to ascert ...
In the context of a sustainable development the optimal use of the electrical energy will require advanced networks allowing interconnections on very long distances and addressing the storage challenge. These requirements are essentially due to the followi ...
Hybrid solar thermal power plants (with parabolic trough type of solar collectors) featuring gas burners and Rankine steam cycles have been successfully demonstrated by California's Solar Electric Generating System (SEGS). This system has been proven to be ...
