2. 21. Advances in optimal design and retrofit of chemical processes with uncertain parameters - Applications in design of heat exchanger networks

   Author : Christian Langner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Design under Uncertainty; Uncertainty Space; Process Integration; Managing Variations; Process Design; Flexibility Analysis;

   Abstract : There is widespread consensus that the omnipresent climate crisis demands humanity to rapidly reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To allow for such a rapid reduction, the industrial sector as a main contributor to GHG emissions needs to take immediate actions. READ MORE

4. 22. Cost-efficient integration of variable renewable electricity - Variation management and strategic localisation of new demand

   Author : Viktor Walter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flexibility measures; Energy system modelling; smart energy systems; variation management strategies; variable renewable electricity;

   Abstract : The aim of this work was to improve our understanding of how wind power and solar photovoltaics (PV) can be integrated into the European electricity system in a cost-efficient manner. For this, a techno-economic, cost-minimising model of the electricity system is refined for a number of case studies. READ MORE

5. 23. Adding Utility to Carbon Materials: Introducing Dopants Using Highly Soluble Metal Salts and Functionalizing Surfaces via Bromomethylation

   Author : Samuel Joseph Fretz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbon materials; fuel cells; Li-S batteries; surface functionalization; doping;

   Abstract : Carbon-based materials have received intense research interest over the past few decades due to their unique  combination of properties including porosity, non-toxicity, chemical inertness, low density, and electrical conductivity, which has allowed them to find a wide array of applications including supercapacitors, batteries, CO2 capture, fuel cells, and catalysis. To expand their utility, a variety of techniques have been developed to enhance their reactivity and functionality. READ MORE

6. 24. Västsvensk petroleumindustri 1945-2000 : etablering och tillväxt

   Author : Kurt Johnsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; technological systems; petroleum industry; fuel refinery; innovation; institution; industrial network; petrochemicals;

   Abstract : The purpose of the study has been to describe and analyse the establishment and growth of the petroleum industry in western Sweden during the second half of the twentieth century. Empirical data shows that the development of refineries has in large part been governed by environmental changes where belonging to an international concern with large financial resources, and a determined investment in FoU in order to be at the forefront, has been advantageous.

7. 25. 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
