Although heat pump based district heating is often an obvious solution from an energy standpoint, adapting the delivery temperature to the most exigent users is detrimental to overall system performance. This pitfall can be avoided with a centralized plant ...
In order to determine the origin of the CO emissions from a cogeneration spark ignition engine fuelled with a lean natural gas-air mixture, the influence of several combustion chamber parameters have been measured in detail. In an attempt to interpret the ...
This paper presents the analysis of an original design of small hybrid solar plant using Organic Rankine Cycles with hermetic scroll expander- generators. The hot supply is provided from vacuumed collector tubes along the focal line of solar concentrators ...
This paper introduces a methodology for the heat integration of industrial batch processes. Based on Pinch Analysis principles, this methodology resorts to intermediate heat storage to prevent adverse effects on the operating flexibility. A systematic proc ...
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 ...
Among the structure independent approaches of process integration, pinch technology has been shown for continuous processes to be extremely powerful to develop energy efficient processes and enhance synergic effects within and between processes. The earlie ...
Combined cycles are inherently modular, since they are composed of one or several gas turbines cycles coupled with a steam cycle. Thus, it is often possible to consider repowering of conventional steam power plants by replacing the boiler with a gas turbin ...
The increasing concern for the environmental impact of human activities stimulates the development of new methods for the analysis and design of industrial processes including energy systems. It is generally admitted that the considerations of environmenta ...
Le projet POLEDURME apporte une nouvelle approche méthodologique pour la réalisation de sites intégrés répondant à des critères de durabilité dans des zones arides et semi-arides. Par l'intermédiaire d'un partenariat pluridisciplinaire, de formation, d'out ...
Dans un contexte de concurrence et de préoccupations environnementales accrues, la prise en compte des facteurs économiques et environnementaux de façon simultanée et dès les premières phases de conception des systèmes énergétiques pourrait devenir un fact ...
