In the general frame of Compressed Air Energy Storage system (CAES), the LEI Laboratory of EPFL has introduced the concept of dry finned piston. The main goal is to achieve energy storage by means of compressed air thanks to high isothermal efficiency comp ...
The interest in energy storage is currently increasing, especially from the perspectives of matching intermittent sources of renewable energy with customer demand and storing excess nuclear or thermal power during the daily cycle. Technologies to be consid ...
Neighbourhood energy concepts for mixed industrial and commercial sites can be developed by applying energy integration techniques. This study presents an application of these techniques on a concrete site (RTA facility in Vienna, Austria), focussing on th ...
This work consists in an experimental study of the main parameters governing the transport of heat across an interface between two solids, when it is dominated by phonons. The main experimental tool used is Time-Domain ThermoReflectance (TDTR), which is an ...
A new type of district energy network has recently been proposed that is based on the use of CO2 as a heat transfer fluid. It uses the latent heat of vaporization, instead of sensible heat, to store and transfer heat. Previous studies have focused on demon ...
Data mining social media has become a valuable resource for infectious disease surveillance. However, there are considerable risks associated with incorrectly predicting an epidemic. The large amount of social media data combined with the small amount of g ...

Uranium L-III-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy is often used to probe the oxidation state and coordination of uranium in environmental samples, and micrometre-sized beams can be used to spatially map the distribution of uranium relative to other elements ...
Within the challenge of sustainability, climate change mitigation and energy supply a promising way of more rational energy conversion is decentralized power generation and the co-production of power and heat. The combination of a solid oxide fuel cell (SO ...
Within the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supplying sustainable energy, complex integrated energy conversion systems have to be designed by taking into account thermodynamic, economic and environmental considerations simultaneously. The proc ...
In CO2 cycles with high-temperature heat sources that are used in applications such as nuclear power, concentrated solar power, and combustion, partial condensation transcritical CO2 (T-CO2) cycles or recompression supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) cycles are cons ...
