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 ...

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 ...
In the frame of the decentralised electrical power and heat cogeneration with stationary I. C. engines operating on natural gas, the Swiss limit for exhaust gas emissions, with 80 mg/mN3 (5% O2), is the most severe in force on an international level. On th ...
This paper reports the results of specifying and verifying the steam boiler problem with Promela/SPIN. Several models of the system have been produced with different degrees of completeness. Each model represents an abstract level for capturing the origina ...
Part V represents a study on how a future plant at Cottendart (NE) might look with a gas turbine (GT) toping cycle. In addition to the outside references listed in the Bibliography, this work is based on information and results found in Parts II through IV ...
This paper reports the results of specifying, verifying and implementing the steam boiler problem with Lustre. The model is detailed and is able to drive the system and takes device failures (pumps, pump controllers, water, steam and transmission) and emer ...
Steam production units (HRSG and HSSG) of ISCCS include several heat exchangers (economizers, evaporator, superheater, reheaters, etc.). The knowledge of the extended composites as a function of the solar input, allows the determination of the most critica ...
Sodium yttrium calcium-oxyhydroxyapatites powders with compositions of {Ca9.98-0.9xY0.9Na0.02(6)[(OH)(1.98-0.9x)O(0.9)square(0.02)],x=0.1.0(here square denotes vacancies at OH lattice sites} were synthesized by the wet process. Porous (Ca, Y, Na)-Ap ...
Valorisation of resources with the cogeneration of electricity and heat from the incineration of wastes is an important issue in modern societies. Present decision models aiming with minimizing the total costs associated with the optimum choice of configur ...
