This article investigates the techno-economic performance of large integrated biogas Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) power plants. Both atmospheric and pressurized operation is analysed with CO2 vented or captured. The SOFC module produces a constant electric ...
The global emission of CO2 has increased in the sector of power generation from countries outside the OECD, particularly in China which comprises two-third of the share. Meanwhile, OECD countries focus their effort in reducing their emission, where the ind ...
The paper presents a novel methodology for the operation of those hydro power plants provided with a single penstock by the optimal distribution of the dispatched power among its available generating units, aiming at the maximum efficiency of the whole pow ...
Of the various types of road structures, bridges are the most exposed to icing; the problem of icing is widely addressed through salting, which reduces the lifespan of the bridge. One promising solution to avoid the use of salt is the seasonal storage of s ...
The environmental and geopolitical concerns encourage governments towards the utilization of renewable energy sources (RES). Finding CO2 zero/near-zero power production techniques is imperative. Biomass, a carbon neutral fuel, can be used in Joule-Bryton p ...

The average unit exergy cost and CO2 emissions of the electricity generated in Brazil are evaluated using the national electricity mix and considering the representative profiles of the electricity generation routes. The Brazilian installed capacity is com ...
The energy sector is not only a major contributor to greenhouse gases, it is also vulnerable to climate change and will have to adapt to future climate conditions. The objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of changes in future temperatures on t ...
Associated gases at oil wells are often rich in heavy hydrocarbons (HHC, here denoting hydrocarbons heavier than methane). HHC may cause handling and combustion difficulties as their properties are different from standard natural gas, therefore HHC rich as ...
