Amidst a backdrop of rapidly increasing world-wide electricity demand, solar thermal power generation shows great potential for supplying the electricity needs of numerous countries in the Sun-belt regions of the world. In these regions, the absence of sig ...
In this series of two articles, the concepts and approaches of environomic (thermodynamic, economic and environmental) performance ‘Typification’ of power generation technologies (Part I) and of combined heat and power (CHP) cogeneration technologies (Part ...
As our awareness of the dangers of global climate change grows, the development of new renewable energy technologies is of primary importance in the effort to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Rapid increases in the price of oi ...
Cooling of a gas stream using a refrigeration process is a common industrial problem, with many possible flowsheet solutions. This problem has been investigated using two different multi-objective optimisation techniques, with the aim of comparing these te ...
Integrating energy saving technologies allow the design of more compact industrial processes with improved energy efficiency, better performances and environmental friendliness. The goal of the European project EXSYS II has been to develop a methodology an ...
We propose a measure of quality for OD trip tables estimated from link counts. This measure, called the total demand scale is based only on the estimated OD trip table and on the assignment matrix used to estimate it. It is independent of the OD estimation ...
A computer system for the promotion of the rational use of energy in the industry has been developed. It combines the PINCHLENI software developed by the LENI (Laboratory of industrial Energy Systems) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Lausanne) ...
NOVELTY - Production of a component (23) coated with a heat protection layer (21) and having a high thermal load capacity comprises applying an adhesion layer (22) containing aluminum on the surface of the component, and applying the heat protection layer ...
Olefins Plants show an intrinsic cost of the energy demand which derives from Process and Plant design. Few innovative changes have been implemented in the past decades. Such changes were mainly directed to increasing the throughput of the plant and its fl ...
In this paper, a district heating, cooling and power generation unit has been evaluated from the viewpoints of cost and CO2 emissions. The superstructure considered includes a solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine (SOFC-GT) combined cycle, a compression he ...
