  2. 21. Modelling District Heating Network Costs

    Author : Luis Sánchez-García; Urban Persson; Helge Averfalk; Erik Möllerström; Marcus Thern; Magnus Åberg; Sweden Lund Lund University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; District Heating; Pipe network; Cost analysis; Distribution Capital Cost; Effective Width; Plot Ratio; Heat Density; GIS; Smart Cities and Communities; Smarta städer och samhällen;

    Abstract : The solution of the undergoing climate and energy crises requires a radical transformation of the energy system, in which sustainability, no carbon emissions and energy efficiency ought to play a paramount role. This revolution should extend to all areas of the energy system, including the space heating and cooling sector, which accounts for a third of the European final energy demand and, in the European continent, it is still mostly supplied by fossil fuels.

  4. 22. CO2 capture from oxy-fuel combustion power plants

    Author : Yukun Hu; Jinyue Yan; Erik Dahlquist; Mats Westermark; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CO2 capture; oxy-fuel combustion; flue gas recycle; evaporative gas turbine; techno- economic evaluation;

    Abstract : To mitigate the global greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions, carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) has the potential to play a significant role for reaching mitigation target. Oxy-fuel combustion is a promising technology for CO2 capture in power plants. READ MORE

  5. 23. An Assessment Framework for Managing Corporate Sustainable Manufacturing

    Author : Ilaria Giovanna Barletta; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; key performance indicators; sustainable manufacturing; life cycle thinking; energy efficiency; technology assessment; sustainability management; environmental sustainability;

    Abstract : This research aims to support the manufacturing industry in the endeavour of achieving the seventeen sustainable development goals by 2030, with “sustainable production” (the 12th goal) being the key one it should achieve. The output of this research is synthesised into a framework comprising assessment methods and tools which translate both economic and environmental sustainability factors into information for a specific set of company management decisions.

  6. 24. 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.

    Author : Brenda Vidal; Annelie Hedström; Inga Herrmann; Günther Langergraber; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainable sanitation; sand filter; phosphorus filter; package plant; cold climate; treatment process; system analysis; sustainability indicators; decentralization; centralization; historical development; on-site; resource recovery; source separation; source-separating systems; blackwater; urine; greywater; hållbarthetsanalys; små avlopp system; enskilda avlopp; markbädd; minireningsverk; kallt klimat; systemanalys; fosforfälla; fosforfilter; indikator; urin sortering; svartvatten; toalettvatten; gråvatten; BDT; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

    Abstract : Current socio-technical wastewater system paradigms are being challenged by emerging global issues such as climate change, environmental degradation and scarcity of resources. Thus, exploration of innovative new urban water management solutions is required that enable closure of resource loops. READ MORE
