  2. 1. On Distributed Balancing of Wind Power Forecast Deviations in Competitive Power Systems

    Author : Richard Scharff; Lennart Söder; Mikael Amelin; Gerard L. Doorman; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; balancing; wind power integration; electricity market; wind power variations; wind power forecast errors;

    Abstract : Wind power generation does, on the one hand, contribute to a less polluting and more sustainable electric power generation mix. On the other hand, the uncertainty and the variability of the power output do challenge the operation of the power system: hourly variations in wind power generation are hardly predictable in a precise way.

  4. 2. Hybrid Solar Gas-Turbine Power Plants : A Thermoeconomic Analysis

    Author : James Spelling; Andrew Martin; Björn Laumert; David Tomas Sanchez Martinez; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solar thermal power; hybrid gas-turbine; thermoeconomics; koncentrerad solenergi; gas-turbiner; ekonomisk analys;

    Abstract : The provision of a sustainable energy supply is one of the most importantissues facing humanity at the current time, and solar thermal power hasestablished itself as one of the more viable sources of renewable energy. Thedispatchable nature of this technology makes it ideally suited to forming thebackbone of a future low-carbon electricity system. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the Selection of Methods and Tools for Analysis of Heat and Power Plants

    Author : Pernilla Olausson; Kraftverksteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; applied thermodynamics; Termisk teknik; termodynamik; Thermal engineering; neural networks; LCA; environment; thermoeconomy; exergy; economics; Methods and tools; energy analysis;

    Abstract : The business climate of the energy market has been eventful over the last two decades, particularly with the introduction of the deregulated electricity market and promotion of environmental issues. This has subsequently lead to new analysis criteria, influencing both technology requirements and production costs. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modern Thermal Power Plants - Aspects on Modelling and Evaluation

    Author : Klas Jonshagen; Kraftverksteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; T-Q diagram; Combined cycle; heat- and mass-balance modelling; carbon capture; CO2;

    Abstract : The European Union (EU) has laid down very clear objectives for the reduction of greenhouse gases in the hope that it will prevent or mitigate climate change. Political incentives are used to make the power industry adopt changes in order to reach these EU targets. READ MORE

  7. 5. Integrating Biomass in Existing Natural Gas-Fired Power Plants

    Author : Erik Pihl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Forest Residue; Modeling; Hybrid Combined Cycles; Biomass; Gasification; Efficiency;

    Abstract : Using biomass for utility heat and electricity generation can supplement use of fossil fuels, whose emissions of carbon dioxide likely risk causing serious climate change and ocean acidification. Biomass as energy source is a limited resource and when used as fuel in thermal power plants this currently results in higher production costs than using fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal.
