On conventional offshore petroleum platforms, the combined heat and power production (CHP) currently depends on simple cycle gas turbine systems (SCGT) that operate at lower efficiency and increased environmental impact compared to modern onshore thermoele ...
Even though advanced power generation systems offer higher efficiencies than simpler gas turbines, severe area and weight restrictions keep on impeding their widespread implementation in offshore petroleum industry. If those restrictions could be resolved, ...
An important part of the electricity production relies on heat conversion. Indeed power plants burn fuels like natural gas, coal or use nuclear fission to produce heat that can be transformed into electricity through a thermodynamic cycle and the mechanica ...
In this work, an offshore central power station is designed for supplying the electricity required during the lifetime of four identical productive floating, production, storage and offloading units (FPSO), aiming to increase the efficiency and alleviate t ...
On conventional offshore petroleum platforms, the combined heat and power production (CHP) currently depends on simple cycle gas turbine systems (SCGT) that operate at lower efficiency and increased environmental impact, compared to modern onshore thermoel ...
This paper focuses on a small-scale radial steam turbine which is part of a fan-turbine unit (FTU) realizing the anode off-gas recirculation of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). Due to the small size of the turbine (15mm diameter), it is not possible to dete ...
Truck engine waste heat recovery (WHR) systems have been investigated for many years. Among them, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems show the highest potential, but still lack efficient small-scale expansion devices, in practice. Proposed expanders are of ...
Efficient consumption of energy and material resources, including water, is the primary focus for process industries to reduce their environmental impact. The Conference of Parties in Paris (COP21) highlighted the prominent role of industrial energy effici ...
The increasing penetration of intermittent renewable power challenges the stability of the electrical grid, thus coal power plants are usually required to extend the operation range by reducing the minimum load. This work proposes a concept of coupling sol ...
The increased concerns about the effect of human activities on the climate have pushed natural gas among the most obvious solutions for the transition to a low-carbon economy. The growing importance and volumes of liquefied natural gas for transportation o ...
