3. 2. Techno-Economic Analysis of Organic Rankine Cycles for a Boiler Station : Energy system modeling and simulation optimization

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Jamel Hudson; [2019]
   Keywords : Organic Rankine cycle; ORC; Working fluids; Boiler station; District heating system; Simulation model;

   Abstract : The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) may be the superior cycle for power generation using low temperature and low power heat sources due to the utilization of high molecular mass fluids with low boiling points. They are flexible, simple, easy to operate and maintain, and offer many possible areas of applications including waste heat recovery and power generation from biomass, geothermal and even solar energy.

4. 3. Waste heat storage and utilization for the case of National Veterinary Institute (SVA), Uppsala, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Stanislav Proshyn; Iryna Bulich; [2017]
   Keywords : waste heat; direct distribution; thermal energy storage; hot water storage tank; borehole seasonal storage; heat pump; IDA ICE plant modelling; savings-to-investment ratio; life-cycle costs; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The incineration furnace at National Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala, Sweden, runs approximately 2,150 hours a year and generates a large amount of waste heat. Some of this heat is partially recovered, and is used for heating one of the main buildings during the furnace operation. READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluation of cost competitiveness and payback period of grid-connected photovoltaic systems in Sri Lanka

   University essay from KTH/Industriell produktion

   Author : Charlotte Fahnehjelm; Viktoria Ämting; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : During the Paris climate conference in December 2015, 195 countries approved a global agreement on reducing climate change, indicating that immediate action is needed. Current research is focusing on what barriers there are for implementing renewable energy technologies, both from the perspective of households and the society, especially stressing the importance of the financial barriers cost competitiveness and payback period.

6. 5. Retrofitting analysis on first generation ethanol production

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Sree Vathsava Rajoli; [2015]
   Keywords : Distillation and dehydration section; biogas digester; DDGS; retrofit;

   Abstract : First generation bioethanol generated from feedstocks is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and the demand for fuel ethanol has promoted studies on the use of the grain as feedstock. This thesis describes various process designs and the economic feasibility for producing the main product ethanol and other by-products such as Biogas and DDGS (Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles) from the grain.
