Modeling of Beam Loss Induced Quenches in the LHC Main Dipole Magnets

Luca Bottura, Pier Paolo Granieri, Enrico Felcini

The full energy exploitation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a planned increase of the beam energy beyond the present 6.5 TeV, will result in more demanding working conditions for the superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles operating in the machine. It ...

Optimal design of solar-assisted industrial processes considering heat pumping: Case study of a dairy

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Maziar Kermani, Anna Sophia Wallerand, Régis Voillat

Pinch analysis and Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) have been extensively studied for optimization of industrial processes addressing heat recovery, utility selection and sizing. Analysis of renewable utility integration, such as solar thermal or ph ...

Potential and Challenges of ORC driven Heat Pumps Based on Gas Bearing Supported Turbomachinery

Violette Mounier

Electrically Driven Heat Pumps (EDHPs) have been identified as a key technology to reduce the energy consumption in the domestic space heating sector. However, since EDHPs require electrical power, they face issues related to network overload at peak-time, ...

Data-Driven Pre-Design Tool for Small Scale Centrifugal Compressors in Refrigeration

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Cyril Picard, Violette Mounier

Domestic scale heat pumps and air conditioners are mainly driven by volumetric compressors. Yet the use of reduced scale centrifugal compressors is reconsidered due to their high efficiency and power density. Recent work has demonstrated the technical feas ...

Charting the course: A possible route to a fully renewable Swiss power system

Michael Lehning, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Annelen Kahl, Stuart John Bartlett

The prospect of a renewable transition seems plausible for many countries, but can be shrouded in risks, costs and challenges. This paper illuminates a path for such a transition with a numerical investigation, aimed at resolving the power dynamics of a co ...
