A decision-support tool (ORES) in the form of a linear program is developed to determine the optimal investment and operating decisions for residential energy systems. It shows how energy conversion units such as a cogeneration fuel cell, a heat pump, a bo ...
This review highlights the major advantages and challenges of mechanically driven heat pumps and refrigeration systems with focus on multi-temperature applications. Different design strategies are presented, including cycles with multi-stage compressors, e ...
Small-scale turbomachines in domestic heat pumps reach high efficiency and provide oil-free solutions, which improve heat-exchanger performance and offer major advantages in the design of advanced thermodynamic cycles. An appropriate turbocompressor for do ...
The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences has been analysing and monitoring the low- temperature district heating and cooling network (LTN) “Suurstoffi” since 2012. The analysis showed that heating demand was twice as high as expected. On the other hand, ...
The world energy consumption has dramatically increased since the end of the World War II. The main share of this energy comes from fossil fuel combustion. The worldwide domestic sector consumes about 30% of the global energy supply and the biggest share o ...
This paper presents a novel, simple method for reducing external operating condition datasets to be used in multi-generation system optimization models. The method, called the Characteristic Operating Pattern (CHOP) method, is a visually-based aggregation ...
Considering the uncertainty of economic conditions, multi-objective optimisation can be favoured to single-objective optimisation for process design. However, from the Pareto sets generated by multi- objective optimisation it is not obvious to identify the ...
Distributed power generation and cogeneration is an attractive way toward a more rational conversion of fuel and biofuel. The fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid cycles are emerging as the most promising candidates to achieve distributed generation with comparabl ...
A thermo-economic and environomic analysis for the integration of district heating in several power plants using carbon capture and sequestration is done. Variable district heating temperatures have been studied by evaluating the energetic and economic per ...
An attractive way toward a more rational conversion of fuel and biofuel is the decentralized power generation and cogeneration. The fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid cycles are emerging as the most promising candidates to achieve in decentralized generation com ...
