  2. 1. Reducing Carbon Emissions From Natural Gas-fired Power Plants – Biomass, Concentrated Solar and Carbon Capture

    Author : Erik Pihl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon capture and storage; bioenergy; biofuels; optimisation; modeling; solar thermal power; resource limitations; thermo-economic assessment;

    Abstract : In this thesis, possibilities to reduce emissions from combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants are evaluated. The evaluation is done from two perspectives: techno-economic analysis, and analysis of the resource and integration potentials. READ MORE

  4. 2. Heat Transfer Aspects of Using Phase Change Material in Thermal Energy Storage Applications

    Author : Justin NingWei Chiu; Viktoria Martin; Luisa Cabeza; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal energy storage; comfort cooling; phase change materials; heat transfer; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : Innovative methods for providing sustainable heating and cooling through thermal energy storage (TES) have gained increasing attention as heating and cooling demands in the built environment continue to climb. As energy prices continue to soar and systems reach their maximal capacity, there is an urgent need for alternatives to alleviate peak energy use. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fluidized bed plants for heat and power production in future energy systems

    Abstract : Fluidized bed (FB) plants are used for heat and power production in several energy systems around the world, with particular importance in systems using large shares of renewable solid fuel, e.g., biomass. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dynamics of large-scale fluidized bed combustion plants

    Author : Guillermo Martinez Castilla; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; operational flexibility; combined heat and power; process control; thermal power plant; biomass combustion;

    Abstract : Fluidized bed combustion (FBC) plants are widely used in energy systems across the world for the thermochemical conversion of solid fuels, and are especially suitable for low-rank fuels (a category to which renewable solid fuels belong). FBC plants are traditionally operated for base-load electricity production and for heat production, both of which processes are characterized by steady and stable operation. READ MORE

  7. 5. The role of Swedish single-family dwellings in the electricity system - The importance and impacts of solar photovoltaics, demand response, and energy storage

    Author : Emil Nyholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electricity system models; Electric space heating; Batteries; Demand response; Single-family dwellings; Demand side management; Optimization; Solar photovoltaics; Distributed generation;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the role Swedish single-family dwellings can play in the electricity system. Both through becoming electricity producers through the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the possibilities of demand response (DR) and energy storage in combination with this, and through the DR of electric space heating in the dwellings.
