Large scale energy storage may play an increasingly important role in the power generation and distribution sector, especially when large shares of renewable energies will have to be integrated into the electrical grid. Up to now pumped-hydro is the only t ...
Advantages of thermochemical heat storage over conventional heat storage are a higher energy density and loss-free storage of the heat after charging, since the heat is stored in chemical form. At ECN, a thermochemical heat storage is developed for seasona ...
The heating and cooling of buildings worldwide represent a large amount of the energy needs and are one of the significant sources of CO2. Decreasing the environmental impact of residential and office buildings is of crucial interest. Energy geostructures ...
Process integration methods allow one optimizing industrial processes. The main goals are decreasing energy demand and operating costs as well as reducing pollutants emissions. High fuel costs promote installations of heat pumps. In a heat pump, process wa ...
This work includes the development of the biomass conversion technologies designed to provide the required heat demand to the district heating network. Biomass is considered here as the only fuel utilized in the proposed conversion systems as the competiti ...
The main objective of this theoretical study was to investigate under which conditions a magnetic energy conversion device (MECD) - utilizing industrial waste heat - is economically feasible. Furthermore, it was evaluated if magnetic energy conversion (MCE ...
The aim of process integration is to increase the efficiency and to reduce the energy consumption, operating costs and CO 2 emissions of an industrial process. The proposed methodology is applied to a real case study of a cheese factory with non-simultaneo ...
This study presents a general, practical and operational methodology to improve energy efficiency of processes through a holistic approach. The required methods and tools have been developed based on a systemic approach of process energy integration and en ...
District energy systems can potentially decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services, thanks to the implementation of polygeneration energy conversion technologies, connected to buildings over a network. To transfer the energy from centralized tech ...
Groupe E a promoter of district heating networks was confronted with the possibility of building a network of this nature in the municipality of La Tour-de-Peilz. The munici- pality imposed a situation where the lake water should be used for heat pumping. ...
