Selected pathways for a more efficient conversion of biomass in cogeneration or fuel production

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Jan Van Herle, Martin Gassner, Stefan Heyne

Among renewable energy sources biomass plays a major role. Several paths for improving the conversion of biomass with minimum burden on the environment are being pursued worldwide. This paper reviews some of the most recent results from research at the Swi ...

Design of Portable Power Generation Systems for Variable Power Demand

Benoît Chachuat

The performance of portable power generation systems is a major limitation on the freedom and amount of utility provided by portable electronic devices. In that respect, fuel cells are a promising alternative to current state-of-the-art batteries as there ...

Design of a software tool for PV-system-specific lightning protection

Friedrich Linhart

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are often installed on rooftops or as freestanding systems with no higher surrounding structures. This is why they are often exposed to the influences of lightning which can severely damage these expensive systems. Lightning prote ...

A feasibility study of an auxiliary power unit based on a PEM fuel cell for on-board applications

Mario Paolone

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells show characteristics of high power density, low operating temperature, and fast start-up capability, which make them potentially suitable to replace conventional power sources (e.g., internal combustion engines) as ...

Turbulence in cooling channels of rocket engines: Large Eddy Simulations

The aim of this Note is to predict by means of large eddy simulations the three-dimensional structures and secondary mass and heat fluxes which develop within a heated curved duct, for applications to rocket engines cooling channels. We show the existence ...

Biogas as a fuel source for SOFC Cogenerators

Jan Van Herle

This study reports on the combination of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) generators fueled with biogas as renewable energy source, recoverable from wastes but at present underexploited. From a mobilisable near-future potential in the European Union (EU-15) of ...

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 ...

Biogas exploitation by SOFC

Daniel Favrat, Jan Van Herle

Biogas as renewable source of energy is underexploited. We extrapolate the potential recoverable from waste streams in the EU-15 to 769 PJ (17.5 Mtoe), of which under 10% is used (1.7 Mtoe). SOFC can promote the valorisation of biogas in small CHP installa ...
