Small Hybrid Solar Power System

Daniel Favrat, Diego Larrain, El Hadj Malick Kane

This paper introduces a novel of mini-hybrid solar power plant integrating a field of solar concentrators, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) and a (bio)Diesel engine. Turbines for the organic Rankine Cycles are hermetic scroll expander-generators ...

Teaching Image-Processing Programming in Java

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage

Image processing (IP) can be taught very effectively by complementing the basic lectures with computer laboratories where the participants can actively manipulate and process images. This offering can be made even more attractive by allowing the students t ...

Applying Fondue to Specify a Drink Vending Machine

Shane Sendall

The purpose of the paper is to present our approach for specifying system behavior during analysis, part of the Fondue software development method. The approach is exemplified on a case study, a Drink Vending Machine (DVM). It is based on Operation Schemas ...

Multicriteria Optimisation of Small Hybrid Solar Power System.

Daniel Favrat, El Hadj Malick Kane

A new concept of small hybrid solar power system (HSPS) has been successfully demonstrated in the context of a project called SPS (Solar Power System). This plant integrates two rows of solar collectors, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) each equ ...

Intégration énergétique de procédés discontinus à l'aide d'algorithmes génériques.

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Pierre Krummenacher

This report presents a new methodological approach for the optimal design of energy integrated batch processes. The main emphasis is put on indirect and, to some extend, on direct heat exchange networks with the possibility of introducing closed or open st ...
