  1. 1. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

    Author : ERIK FORSMAN; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The implementation of renewable energy sources continues the rise throughout the world as a means to combat the threats of climate change. This does however bring with it problems within the power sector. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design and Modelling of a Container for Optimal Flow Rate and Wastewater Purification

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Olle Stenlund; [2021]
    Keywords : CFD Simulation; Design; Construction; Pumping System; Water purification;

    Abstract :   Industries are becoming more aware of how they use water in their production process. In many cases, they release wastewater back into the water supply untreated, which can cause adverse side effects to the ecosystem. A sustainable environment requires efficient water purification. One approach to purify wastewater uses rotating bed reactors. READ MORE
