  1. 16. An ICE concept optimized for Series Hybrid Application : A dive into how an ICE pairs with a Series hybrid drivetrain

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Axel Wallenberg; Alexander Frosteman; [2019]
    Keywords : Series hybrid; automobile; internal combustion engine;

    Abstract : This report is a theoretical study of the potential an ICE (internal combustion engine) has when combined with the load case of a high-performance series hybrid drivetrain. It breaks down the different theoretical variables that affect engine efficiency and possible limitations that arise. READ MORE

  3. 17. Economic and Environmental Benefits of the ORC and the Willingness to Invest : A case study from a wastewater treatment plant and a small-scale combined heat and power plant

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Måns Linde; [2019]
    Keywords : ORC; Operation strategy; emissions; profitability; wastewater treatment; CHP;

    Abstract : In Sweden, as many other European countries, centralized large-scale electricity production has traditionally been used to meet the electricity and heat demand. During recent years however, small-scale producers have gained more ground and contributes more to the total electricity generation. READ MORE

  4. 18. Control of a Hydraulic Hybrid System for Wheel Loaders

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Christopher Reichenwallner; Daniel Wasborg; [2019]
    Keywords : EMS; Energy management strategy; Rule-based; Hydraulic hybrid; Wheel loader; Construction machinery; SLC; Short loading cycle; Torque converter; Energy recuperation; Energy efficiency; Backward simulation;

    Abstract : In recent years many companies have investigated the use of hybrid technology due to the potential of increasing the driveline’s efficiency and thus reducing fuel consumption. Previous studies show that hydraulic hybrid technology can be favourable to use in construction machinery such as wheel loaders, which often operate in repetitive drive cycles and have high transient power demands.

  5. 19. Derivation of a correlation to determine a combined cycle's performance based on data from the gas turbine exhaust

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Mattias Ingelström; [2019]
    Keywords : Combined Cycle efficiency; second law efficiency; HRSG; exergy; irreversibilities; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Power production has a vital role in the functioning of society and will have a major part in the future of environmental and economical sustainability. Therefore, efficiencies of power plants are always a subject to improvements in order to utilise resources as efficient as possible. READ MORE

  6. 20. Relating gas turbine performance to combined cycle efficiency

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Simon Frick; [2018]
    Keywords : combined cycle efficiency; second law efficiency; exergy; HRSG; irreversibility; heat engine; thermodynamics; T-q diagram; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The gas turbine has been around for over a century, providing power for a variety of applications. The efficiency, i.e. the amount of power produced per kilogram of fuel provided, has increased steadily over the years and is today greater than 44 percent in a state of the art gas turbine. READ MORE
