ECOS: Integrated and practical energy planning for new districts
François Maréchal, Jakob Moritz Fabian Rager, Cédric Dorsaz
In this paper, we propose a unified method for the integrated energy planning during the development of new districts for all involved actors. Taking energy related problems such as equipment choice and size, costs and environmental impact early into consi ...
2013Multi-objective, multi-period optimization of district energy systems: Networks design
François Maréchal, Samira Fazlollahi
Microalgae cultivation for biofuel conversion is widely treated in literature as it could allow reducing fossil fuel consumptions. One of the challenges of this technology is related to the high power and cost requirements for the harvesting and dewatering ...
Elsevier2013Sustainable energy systems, a process system engineering perspective
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 ...
2013Biofuel greenhouse gas calculations under the European Renewable Energy Directive - A comparison of the BioGrace tool vs. the tool of the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels
The European Renewable Energy Directive (EU RED) requires biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 35% compared to fossil fuels in order to count towards mandatory biofuel quota or to be eligible for financial support schemes. This reduction ta ...
Elsevier2013Nanomaterials for renewable energy production and storage
Over the past decades, there have been many projections on the future depletion of the fossil fuel reserves on earth as well as the rapid increase in green-house gas emissions. There is clearly an urgent need for the development of renewable energy technol ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2012Managing Electricity Sourcing in Europe's Energy Intensive Industry
Several regulatory changes in Europe's electricity sector have stimulated competition in the market. National power companies, with monopolistic structures, have evolved into competitive entities, creating increased choices for consumers. Electricity price ...
