Due to the requirements of lower capital investment, higher operational flexibility, and the pressures from environmental legislations on local pollutants and global greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions, power generation market is in favour of natural gas bas ...
At full load, pump-turbines operating in generating mode may experience a cylindrical cavitation vortex rope caused by the swirling flow in the draft tube cone. Under certain conditions, this vortex rope initiates both pressure and power oscillations. The ...

Large physics experimentation as in particle accelerators or in nuclear fusion is often characterised by a strong and modulated power demand, incompatible with the power availability of the grid. Therefore, large facilities for short-term energy storage ha ...
Decentralized power generation and cogeneration of heat and power is an attractive way toward a more rational conversion of fossil or bio fuel. In small scale power production fuel cell – gas turbine hybrid cycles are an emerging candidate to reach higher ...

The ongoing deregulation of electricity markets worldwide has a major impact on the power industry. New price risks require new risk management tools and new methods for the valuation of generation and transmission assets as well as existing (physical) ele ...
Although phytoextraction using hyperaccumulating plants is seen as a promising technique, a lack of understanding of the basic physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms involved in heavy metal hyperaccumulation prevents the optimization of the p ...
A downscaled drive train with a 6.5 kW fuel cell and a 10 kW supercapacitor module was realized and tested. The voltage levels and the energy flow between fuel cell and supercapacitor were controlled by an electronic unit. The combined fuel-cell/supercapac ...
