Assessment of ammonia as energy carrier in the use with reversible solid oxide cells

Ammonia represents one of the most promising potential solutions as energy vector and hydrogen carrier, having a higher potential to transport energy than hydrogen itself in a pressurized form. Furthermore, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can directly be fe ...

Designing compliant mechanisms composed of shape memory alloy and actuated by induction heating

Yves Perriard, Paolo Germano, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Adrien Jean-Michel Thabuis, Sean Thomas

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a type of smart materials that reacts mechanically to heat. Due to their complex behavior, they are often used in a simple geometry such as wires. This constrains the output displacement of the alloy to a simple linear contra ...

Innovative Renewable Technology Integration for Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings within the Re-COGNITION Project

Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani

With the 2010/31/EU directive, all new buildings shall be nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) from 2020 onward, with the aim of strongly reducing the energy consumption related to the building sector. To achieve this goal, it is not sufficient to focus on ...

Centralized power generation with carbon capture on decommissioned offshore petroleum platforms

Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego

In this work, an offshore central power station is designed for supplying the electricity required during the lifetime of four identical productive floating, production, storage and offloading units (FPSO), aiming to increase the efficiency and alleviate t ...

Multi-objective optimization and exergoeconomic analysis of a continuous solar-driven system with PCM for power, cooling and freshwater production

Hossein Pourrahmani

In this article, three different modes of a novel integrated system would be evaluated by the application of high temperature Thermal Energy Storage (TES) to produce electricity, cooling, and freshwater. Freshwater is produced using the reverse osmosis (RO ...

Thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of energy tunnels

Matthias Timothee Stanislas Wojnarowicz

Subsurface geothermal in combination with Ground Heat Exchanger (GHE) and heat pumps systems had proved over the past decade to be an effective way in space heating and cooling. GHE’s embedded in geostructures such as tunnels has become more and more attra ...

Quantifying the technical geothermal potential from shallow borehole heat exchangers at regional scale

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

The extraction of shallow geothermal energy using borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) is a promising approach for decarbonisation of the heating sector. However, a dense deployment of BHEs may lead to thermal interference between neighboring boreholes and ther ...

Thermally regenerative copper nanoslurry flow batteries for heat-to-power conversion with low-grade thermal energy

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Sunny Isaïe Maye

Low-grade heat (below 200 °C) is available in vast quantities from industry, or from standard roof-top solar thermal collectors. However, the production of electric power from these heat sources is challenging with existing technologies. Thermally regenera ...
