Energy-Efficient Sol-Gel Process for Production of Nanocomposite Absorber Coatings for Tubular Solar Thermal Collectors

Andreas Schueler, Martin Python, Martin Joly, Yannik Antonetti, Thomas Gascou, Marina Garcia Gonzalez

The energy efficiency of production processes for components of solar energy systems is an important issue. Other factors which are important for the production of products such as black selective solar coatings include production speed, cycle time and hom ...

EPFL Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO-PB)2013

According to the International Energy Agency, CO2 emissions have to be cut by a factor 2 if one wants to mitigate the effect on the climate change to an acceptable limit. To reach this target, efficient use and conversion of energy resources is expected to ...

Thermoeconomic Analysis of a Solar Enhanced Energy Storage Concept Based on Thermodynamic Cycles

Samuel Henchoz

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 ...

On the Adaptation of Building Controls to the Envelope and the Occupants

David Daum

The sun is the biggest known source of energy in our solar system. We feel its strength when it gets hot during the the day and we notice its absence during the night when we feel cold. So as to be less dependent on the sun as an energy source, we implemen ...

Artificial photosynthesis: biomimetic approaches to solar energy conversion and storage

Michael Graetzel, Kuppuswamy Kalyanasundaram

Using sun as the energy source, natural photosynthesis carries out a number of useful reactions such as oxidation of water to molecular oxygen and fixation of CO2 in the form of sugars. These are achieved through a series of light-induced multielectron-tra ...

Multiobjective Optimisation of integrated energy systems for remote communities considering economic and CO2 emissions

Daniel Favrat, Xavier Pelet, Geoffrey Basil Leyland

The methods for designing, planning and managing integrated energy systems, while holistically considering the major economic and environmental factors, are still embryonic. However, the first phase of the design is often crucial if we want to manage resou ...
