Abstract:

Abstract This work investigates performances and costs of various configurations of 5 MWel solar tower CSP plants, located in Sicily. The design of the plants aims at comparing two solar towers concepts (i.e., a single tower and modular towers), both adopting billboard receivers. A sensitivity on various heat transfer fluids (i.e., solar salt and sodium), storage fluids (solar salt and NaCl-MgCl2) and power block technologies (i.e., steam Rankine and sCO2 cycles) is also proposed. For each investigated plant configuration, tailored numerical models are presented to assess the performances of each plant subsystem (e.g., solar field, receiver, piping system, power cycle). The results show very competitive LCOE (between 160 and 180 $/MWhel), achievable with satisfactory capacity factors (around 55%), while suggesting good profitability levels for such investments in small scale CSP plants.

Abstract:

In the Marche Region (Central Italy), the residual municipal waste (RMW) is commonly processed in mechanical biological treatment (MBT) systems. In these systems, following a first mechanical selection, the undersize organic fraction from RMW (us-OFRMW) undergoes a partial aerobic biological treatment before being landfilled as a biostabilised fraction (bios-OFRMW) without dedicated energy or material recovery. Alternative us-OFRMW management scenarios have been elaborated for this region, at both present (reference year 2019) and future (reference year 2035) time bases. In the first scenario, the potential bioenergy recovery through anaerobic digestion (AD) from the us-OFRMW was evaluated. The second scenario aimed at evaluating the residual methane generation expected from the bios-OFRMW once landfilled, thus contributing also to the potential environmental impact connected with landfill gas (LFG) diffuse emissions from the regional landfills. The diversion to AD, at the present time, would allow a potential bioenergy recovery from the us-OFRMW equal to 4.35 MWel, while the alternative scenario involves greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions equal to 195 kg CO2 eq. per ton of deposited bios-OFRMW. In the future, the decreased amount of the us-OFRMW addressed to AD would still contribute with a potential bioenergy recovery of 3.47 MWel.

Abstract:

Biogas development is expected to contribute to the National Recovery and Resilience plan to overcome the COVID-19 shock. Estimation of the agricultural biogas potential in economic terms can contribute to refining policies inciting effective sector development. In this paper, we attempt to do so by modeling a biogas chain from dedicated crops and livestock waste. This was achieved by coupling farming models to the biogas industry in a partial equilibrium framework. This allows for a comprehensive investigation of alternative measures in technology, size, spatial distribution and land use change. The integrated model was implemented in Lubelskie for the previous policy (green certificates) and the current policy (auction market). In both cases, the bottom-up profit driven optimization resulted in approximately 40 MWel, which shows a robust economic potential more than four times the biogas sector’s actual capacity in the region, also providing the detailed structure of the sector. When focusing on the industry structure, both scenarios give similar results regarding 1–2 MWel plant size close to the observed situation. The model also suggests a large number of new facilities <250 kWel, twice as important under scenario 2, indicating that other conditions beyond economy profitability should be fulfilled for further sector development.

Abstract:

Energy production from biogas can play a pivotal role in many European countries, and specifically in Italy, for three main reasons: (i) fossil fuels are scarce, (ii) imports cover large shares of internal demand, and (iii) electricity and heat production from biogas is already a consolidated business. Nonetheless, in Italy, current legislation and incentive policies on electricity generation from biogas are causing a stagnation of the entire sector, which may lead to the shutting down of many in-operation plants in the years 2027–2028 and the consequent loss of 573 MWel over a total of 1400 MWel. This work aims to investigate the potential of revamping biogas power plants in prolonging operation until the end of the plants’ useful life, regardless of the implementation of a new government’s incentive schemes. Based on the time-series analysis of electricity prices in Italy and a case study representative of the vast set of in-operation power plants, our findings show that 700 plants will likely shut down between 2027 and 2028 unless the government adequately rewards electricity produced and fed into the grid via incentive schemes. In detail, our results show that the investment to revamp the plant exhibits a highly negative Net Present Value.

Abstract:

This study analyzes a technological concept for simultaneously generating power and desalinating water in a Middle East and North Africa country. An innovative, low-temperature, multi-effect desalination (LT-MED) process integrated with a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant was assessed and analyzed. A combined power and seawater desalination plant was modeled for the city of Aqaba by the Red Sea in Jordan. Parabolic-trough collectors using indirect steam generation with thermal energy storage connected with power and desalination blocks were designed. The designed plant was modeled and simulated using EBSILON Professional, a discrete energy balance simulation software, under several operating conditions, to analyze the results. An economic feasibility analysis of the combined CSP+LT-MED plant was also conducted. The simulation results showed the broad variability of the cogeneration system in terms of electricity generation and water production. The output power of the CSP plant without water production reached 58.7 MWel in June. The output power accompanied with distilled-water production with a mass flow rate of 170 m3/h was approximately 49.5 MWel. Furthermore, the number of desalination stages had the strongest influence on distillate production but limited the operational flexibility of the power plant due to the temperature gradients within the desalination stages. The distilled-water mass flow reached 498 m3/h for 10 stages. The research showed that the design successfully worked with up to €78.84 million, earned from selling the produced electricity. However, owing to highly subsidized water tariffs in Jordan (80% less than the actual cost), the integration of water desalination into the CSP plant was not economically feasible.

Abstract:

Power-to-methane technology (P2M) deployment at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for seasonal energy storage might land on the agenda of decision-makers across EU countries, since large WWTPs produce a notable volume of biogas that could be injected into the natural gas grid with remarkable storage capacities. Because of the recent rapid increase of local photovoltaics (PV), it is essential to explore the role of WWTPs in energy storage and the conditions under which this potential can be realized. This study integrates a techno-economic assessment of P2M technology with commercial/investment attractiveness of seasonal energy storage at large WWTPs. Findings show that a standardized 1 MWel P2M technology would fit with most potential sites. This is in line with the current technology readiness level of P2M, but increasing electricity prices and limited financial resources of WWTPs would decrease the commercial attractiveness of P2M technology deployment. Based on a Hungarian case study, public funding, biomethane feed-in tariff and minimized or compensated surplus electricity sourcing costs are essential to realize the energy storage potential at WWTPs.

Abstract:

Dans ce mémoire, nous nous penchons sur les expressions polylexicales (EP) et leurs relations avec l’analyse syntaxique, la tâche qui consiste à déterminer les relations syntaxiques entre les mots dans une phrase donnée. Le défi que posent les EP dans ce contexte, par rapport aux expressions linguistiques régulières, provient de leurs propriétés parfois inattendues qui les rendent difficiles à gérer dans te traitement automatique des langues. Dans nos travaux, nous montrons qu’il est pourtant possible de profiter de ce cette caractéristique des EP afin d’améliorer les résultats d’analyse syntaxique. Notamment, avec les grammaires d’arbres adjoints (TAGs), qui fournissent un cadre naturel et puissant pour la modélisation des EP, ainsi qu’avec des stratégies de recherche basées sur l’algorithme A* , il est possible d’obtenir des gains importants au niveau de la vitesse sans pour autant détériorer la qualité de l’analyse syntaxique. Cela contraste avec des méthodes purement statistiques qui, malgré l’efficacité, ne fournissent pas de solutions satisfaisantes en ce qui concerne les EP. Nous proposons un analyseur syntaxique novateur qui combine les grammaires TAG avec La technique A*, axé sur la prédiction des EP, dont les fonctionnalités permettent des applications à grande échelle, facilement extensible au contexte probabiliste
In this thesis, we focus on multiword expressions (MWEs) and their relationships with syntactic parsing. The latter task consists in retrieving the syntactic relations holding between the words in a given sentence. The challenge of MWEs in this respect is that, in contrast to regular linguistic expressions, they exhibit various irregular properties which make them harder to deal with in natural language processing. In our work, we show that the challenge of the MWE-related irregularities can be turned into an advantage in practical symbolic parsing. Namely, with tree adjoining grammars (TAGs), which provide first-cLass support for MWEs, and A* search strategies, considerable speed-up gains can be achieved by promoting MWE-based analyses with virtually no loss in syntactic parsing accuracy. This is in contrast to purely statistical state-of-the-art parsers, which, despite efficiency, provide no satisfactory support for MWEs. We contribute a TAG-A* -MWE-aware parsing architecture with facilities (grammar compression and feature structures) enabling real-world applications, easily extensible to a probabilistic framework

Abstract:

Detailed thermodynamic, kinetic, geometric, and cost models are developed, implemented, and validated for the synthesis/design and operational analysis of hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) – gas turbine (GT) – steam turbine (ST) systems ranging in size from 1.5 MWe to 10 MWe. The fuel cell model used in this thesis is based on a tubular Siemens-Westinghouse-type SOFC, which is integrated with a gas turbine and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) integrated in turn with a steam turbine cycle. The SOFC/GT subsystem is based on previous work done by Francesco Calise during his doctoral research (Calise, 2005). In that work, a HRSG is not used. Instead, the gas turbine exhaust is used by a number of heat exchangers to preheat the air and fuel entering the fuel cell and to provide energy for district heating. The current work considers instead the possible benefits of using the exhaust gases in an HRSG in order to produce steam which drives a steam turbine for additional power output. Four different steam turbine cycles are considered in this M.S. thesis work: a single-pressure, a dual-pressure, a triple-pressure, and a triple-pressure with reheat. The models have been developed to function both at design (full load) and off-design (partial load) conditions. In addition, different solid oxide fuel cell sizes are examined to assure a proper selection of SOFC size based on efficiency or cost. The thermoeconomic analysis includes cost functions developed specifically for the different system and component sizes (capacities) analyzed. A parametric study is used to determine the most viable system/component syntheses/designs based on maximizing total system efficiency or minimizing total system life cycle cost.

Abstract:

Dans un reacteur a eau pressurisee rep, quand un accident de reactivite se produit, apres ejection d'une grappe de controle, le flux augmente et genere une energie importante dans le combustible. Ceci produit une reactivite negative qui tend a reduire la reactivite introduite: c'est l'effet doppler. Par consequent, la puissance du reacteur decroit, bien avant la chute des barres par l'arret d'urgence, une seconde plus tard. L'abaque de surete elaboree dans cette etude est propre au rep 1300 mwe. Elle est effectuee par le modele de cinetique ponctuelle, utilisant une modelisation simplifiee de transfert de chaleur. Certaines hypotheses ont ete adoptees confirmant le conservatisme dans le trace des abaques dont les calculs sont bases sur les temperatures limites de la gaine et du combustible. Leurs valeurs sont prises dans le rapport de surete du palier p4. Le schema de calcul utilise est decrit par les etapes suivantes: a) calculs statiques, b) calculs de cinetique, c) calculs de thermique. Dans un rep, la temperature limite qui assure l'integrite du combustible doit etre inferieure a la temperature de fusion au centre de la pastille du combustible pour le transitoire initie par l'ejection d'une grappe de controle (range en classe 4 dans le rapport de surete). Elle est egale a 2800c (valeur theorique pour l'oxyde d'uranium). Dans le trace d'abaques, on a pris 2675c pour prendre en compte les incertitudes du schema de calcul utilise. L'analyse basee sur les calculs de cinetique tridimensionnelle pour les trois niveaux de puissance effectues par le code cronos1 (50% pn, 38% pn, 18% pn) pour le rep 1300 mwe, pilote en mode gris et gere par tiers, montre que les temperatures maximales atteintes pendant le transitoire initie par l'ejection de grappe de controle ne depassent pas les limites de surete, grace aux caracteristiques physiques de ce reacteur et a son systeme de protection

Abstract:

Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) has made an important contribution to polymer and particle characterization since its invention by Svedberg (Svedberg and Nichols 1923; Svedberg and Pederson 1940) in 1923. In 1926, Svedberg won the Nobel price for his scientific work on disperse systems including work with AUC. The first important discovery performed with AUC was to show the existence of macromolecules. Since that time AUC has become an important tool to study polymers in biophysics and biochemistry. AUC is an absolute technique that does not need any standard. Molar masses between 200 and 1014 g/mol and particle size between 1 and 5000 nm can be detected by AUC. Sample can be fractionated into its components due to its molar mass, particle size, structure or density without any stationary phase requirement as it is the case in chromatographic techniques. This very property of AUC earns it an important status in the analysis of polymers and particles. The distribution of molar mass, particle sizes and densities can be measured with the fractionation. Different types of experiments can give complementary physicochemical parameters. For example, sedimentation equilibrium experiments can lead to the study of pure thermodynamics. For complex mixtures, AUC is the main method that can analyze the system. Interactions between molecules can be studied at different concentrations without destroying the chemical equilibrium (Kim et al. 1977). Biologically relevant weak interactions can also be monitored (K ≈ 10-100 M-1). An analytical ultracentrifuge experiment can yield the following information: • Molecular weight of the sample • Number of the components in the sample if the sample is not a single component • Homogeneity of the sample • Molecular weight distribution if the sample is not a single component • Size and shape of macromolecules & particles • Aggregation & interaction of macromolecules • Conformational changes of macromolecules • Sedimentation coefficient and density distribution Such an extremely wide application area of AUC allows the investigation of all samples consisting of a solvent and a dispersed or dissolved substance including gels, micro gels, dispersions, emulsions and solutions. Another fact is that solvent or pH limitation does not exist for this method. A lot of new application areas are still flourishing, although the technique is 80 years old. In 1970s, 1500 AUC were operational throughout the world. At those times, due to the limitation in detection technologies, experimental results were obtained with photographic records. As time passed, faster techniques such as size exclusion chromatography (SEC), light scattering (LS) or SDS-gel electrophoresis occupied the same research fields with AUC. Due to these relatively new techniques, AUC began to loose its importance. In the 1980s, only a few AUC were in use throughout the world. In the beginning of the 1990s a modern AUC -the Optima XL-A - was released by Beckman Instruments (Giebeler 1992). The Optima XL-A was equipped with a modern computerized scanning absorption detector. The addition of Rayleigh Interference Optics is introduced which is called XL-I AUC. Furthermore, major development in computers made the analysis easier with the help of new analysis software. Today, about 400 XL-I AUC exist worldwide. It is usually applied in the industry of pharmacy, biopharmacy and polymer companies as well as in academic research fields such as biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology and material science. About 350 core scientific publications which use analytical ultracentrifugation are published every year (source: SciFinder 2008 ) with an increasing number of references (436 reference in 2008). A tremendous progress has been made in method and analysis software after digitalization of experimental data with the release of XL-I. In comparison to the previous decade, data analysis became more efficient and reliable. Today, AUC labs can routinely use sophisticated data analysis methods for determination of sedimentation coefficient distributions (Demeler and van Holde 2004; Schuck 2000; Stafford 1992), molar mass distributions (Brookes and Demeler 2008; Brookes et al. 2006; Brown and Schuck 2006), interaction constants (Cao and Demeler 2008; Schuck 1998; Stafford and Sherwood 2004), particle size distributions with Angstrom resolution (Cölfen and Pauck 1997) and the simulations determination of size and shape distributions from sedimentation velocity experiments (Brookes and Demeler 2005; Brookes et al. 2006). These methods are also available in powerful software packages that combines various methods, such as, Ultrascan (Demeler 2005), Sedift/Sedphat (Schuck 1998; Vistica et al. 2004) and Sedanal (Stafford and Sherwood 2004). All these powerful packages are free of charge. Furthermore, Ultrascans source code is licensed under the GNU Public License (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html). Thus, Ultrascan can be further improved by any research group. Workshops are organized to support these software packages. Despite of the tremendous developments in data analysis, hardware for the system has not developed much. Although there are various user developed detectors in research laboratories, they are not commercially available. Since 1992, only one new optical system called “the fluorescence optics” (Schmidt and Reisner, 1992, MacGregor et al. 2004, MacGregor, 2006, Laue and Kroe, in press) has been commercialized. However, except that, there has been no commercially available improvement in the optical system. The interesting fact about the current hardware of the XL-I is that it is 20 years old, although there has been an enormous development in microelectronics, software and in optical systems in the last 20 years, which could be utilized for improved detectors. As examples of user developed detector, Bhattacharyya (Bhattacharyya 2006) described a Multiwavelength-Analytical Ultracentrifuge (MWL-AUC), a Raman detector and a small angle laser light scattering detector in his PhD thesis. MWL-AUC became operational, but a very high noise level prevented to work with real samples. Tests with the Raman detector were not successful due to the low light intensity and thus high integration time is required. The small angle laser light scattering detector could only detect latex particles but failed to detect smaller particles and molecules due to low sensitivity of the detector (a photodiode was used as detector). The primary motivation of this work is to construct a detector which can measure new physico-chemical properties with AUC with a nicely fractionated sample in the cell. The final goal is to obtain a multiwavelength detector for the AUC that measures complementary quantities. Instrument development is an option for a scientist only when there is a huge potential benefit but there is no available commercial enterprise developing appropriate equipment, or if there is not enough financial support to buy it. The first case was our motivation for developing detectors for AUC. Our aim is to use today’s technological advances in microelectronics, programming, mechanics in order to develop new detectors for AUC and improve the existing MWL detector to routine operation mode. The project has multiple aspects which can be listed as mechanical, electronical, optical, software, hardware, chemical, industrial and biological. Hence, by its nature it is a multidisciplinary project. Again by its nature it contains the structural problem of its kind; the problem of determining the exact discipline to follow at each new step. It comprises the risk of becoming lost in some direction. Having that fact in mind, we have chosen the simplest possible solution to any optical, mechanical, electronic, software or hardware problem we have encountered and we have always tried to see the overall picture. In this research, we have designed CCD-C-AUC (CCD Camera UV/Vis absorption detector for AUC) and SLS-AUC (Static Light Scattering detector for AUC) and tested them. One of the SLS-AUC designs produced successful test results, but the design could not be brought to the operational stage. However, the operational state Multiwavelength Analytical Ultracentrifuge (MWL-AUC) AUC has been developed which is an important detector in the fields of chemistry, biology and industry. In this thesis, the operational state Multiwavelength Analytical Ultracentrifuge (MWL-AUC) AUC is to be introduced. Consequently, three different applications of MWL-AUC to the aforementioned disciplines shall be presented. First of all, application of MWL-AUC to a biological system which is a mixture of proteins lgG, aldolase and BSA is presented. An application of MWL-AUC to a mass-produced industrial sample (β-carotene gelatin composite particles) which is manufactured by BASF AG, is presented. Finally, it is shown how MWL-AUC will impact on nano-particle science by investigating the quantum size effect of CdTe and its growth mechanism. In this thesis, mainly the relation between new technological developments and detector development for AUC is investigated. Pioneering results are obtained that indicate the possible direction to be followed for the future of AUC. As an example, each MWL-AUC data contains thousands of wavelengths. MWL-AUC data also contains spectral information at each radial point. Data can be separated to its single wavelength files and can be analyzed classically with existing software packages. All the existing software packages including Ultrascan, Sedfit, Sedanal can analyze only single wavelength data, so new extraordinary software developments are needed. As a first attempt, Emre Brookes and Borries Demeler have developed mutliwavelength module in order to analyze the MWL-AUC data. This module analyzes each wavelength separately and independently. We appreciate Emre Brookes and Borries Demeler for their important contribution to the development of the software. Unfortunately, this module requires huge amount of computer power and does not take into account the spectral information during the analysis. New software algorithms are needed which take into account the spectral information and analyze all wavelengths accordingly. We would like also invite the programmers of Ultrascan, Sedfit, Sedanal and the other programs, to develop new algorithms in this direction.
Die analytische Chemie versucht die chemische Zusammensetzung, chemische und physikalische Eigenschaften von biologischen oder künstlichen Materialien zu bestimmen. Mit der Entwicklung deren Methoden können genauere Informationen über die Umweltverschmutzung, das Ozonloch, Proteinfunktionen und Wechselwirkungen im menschlichen Körper erlangt werden. Es sind eine Vielzahl von analytischen Techniken vorhanden, die durch Verbesserungen in der Mikroelektronik, Mechanik, Informatik und Nanotechnologie einer markanten Entwicklung unterworfen wurden. In dieser Arbeit wurde versucht die Detektionskapazität der analytischen Ultrazentrifuge zu erhöhen. Die analytische Ultrazentrifuge (AUZ) ist eine gut bekannte, sehr leistungsstarke Trennungsmethode. AUZ benutzt die Zentrifugalkraft zum Trennen von Stoffen. Die Probe kann für die Messung gelöst oder in einer Flüssigkeit dispergiert werden. Makromoleküle, Proteine und kolloidale Systeme in Lösung können in einer AUZ Zelle zwischen 1000-60000 Rotationen pro Minute zentrifugiert werden, wie beispielsweise in der kommerziellen Beckmann AUZ. Die Rotationsbeschleunigung entspricht 73-262mal der Erdschwerebeschleunigung (= 9.81 m s-2) für eine radiale Position von 6.5 Zentimeter. Diese Kraft ist der Schlüsselfaktor für die Fähigkeit der AUZ sogar kleine Moleküle und Ionen zu trennen. Die Experimente wurden bei kontrollierter Rotationsgeschwindigkeit und Temperatur ausgeführt. Drei verschiedene, neue Detektoren wurden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit konstruiert und getestet. Diese Detektoren haben die analytischen Informationen sehr verbessert. Dies wurde für Proteine, halbleitende Nanopartikel sowie auch für industrielle Produkte gezeigt.

Abstract:

AbstractGovernments in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have made concerted efforts to improve farmers’ adoption of modern technologies in their farm operations to realize a rice Green Revolution, improve food security, and alleviate poverty. However, smallholder farmers’ access to farm mechanization in SSA remains constrained due to supply-side and demand-side challenges. On the supply side, the market for agricultural machinery services is often underdeveloped. On the demand side, the smallholders with inadequate knowledge of improved rice cultivation practices have limited demand for mechanized services despite increasing wage rates. This study analyzes the mechanization process of rice farmers in the Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya. The Mwea Irrigation Scheme is the most advanced rice production area in SSA, with farmers familiar with improved rice cultivation practices, well-functioning input credit markets, and millers adopting modern milling technologies, enabling local rice to compete with imported Asian rice. Analyzing original data collected in 2011, 2016, and 2018, we found that most farmers in Mwea implemented rotavation using tractor services provided by farmers’ cooperatives, while they implemented leveling using draft animals. Non-cooperative members reduced tractor use and adopted draft animals to implement both harrowing and leveling, implying the importance of a well-developed mechanization service market.

Abstract:

Abstract Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Multi-Energy Systems (MESs) are aggregated energy systems comprising renewable energy sources, energy storage systems and dispatchable units. The presence of such diverse systems unlocks the possibility of a near-zero carbon emission energy generation while overtaking the main drawback of renewables sources that is their lack of control. Among the different energy storage systems, large scale (seasonal) H2 storages (e.g. salt cavern or depleted oil field) would allow shifting the excess solar energy from the hot to the cold season. High round-trip efficiency (electricity to electricity) and unpaired operational flexibility could be achieved using H2 in state-of-the-art combined cycles. This work investigates the optimal design and operation of a fully renewable VPPs integrating PV panels, batteries for short-term storage, electrolyzers, H2 seasonal storage and H2-fired combined cycles. The optimal design and optimal yearly operation of such complex VPP are formulated as Mixed Integer Linear Programs (MILP) and solved to global optimality imposing to meet the highest possible fraction of the electricity demand profile. Results indicate that the optimal VPP design features a 490 MWhel of battery, 687 MWel of PV panels, 392 MWel of electrolyzer and requires a minimum H2 storage size of 168 GWhH2,LHV to power a combined cycle of 58 MWel. In case of a geological H2 seasonal storage availability, the resulting cost of generated electricity is above 430 $/MWhel, considerably higher with respect to the average electricity prices in Italy (in the range 50–80 $/MWhel) underlining the need of achieving better power-to-gas efficiencies and lower specific investment costs of conversion technologies in the next years. Furthermore, if the H2 storage needs to be built on purpose, the resulting cost of electricity would be even higher.

Abstract:

Estonian basic power supply is over 90% covered by oil shale fired thermal power plants. Total installed thermal capacity of the boilers is 10.7 GWth and every year about 11 millions tons of oil shale is fired. Two different combustion technologies, the old pulverized oil shale firing and the new CFB technology are used at the moment. The new CFB units totaling 430 MWel delivered by Foster Wheeler Energia started operation in 2003–2004. The very first operational experience of CFB units are very promising and all basic problems of oil shale pulverized firing like high air emissions (SO2 — 820–1360 mg/MJ; NOx — 90–110 mg/MJ), fouling and corrosion of heating surfaces, low efficiency and low operational reliability seemed to be solved. Oil shale CFB firing at much lower temperatures (∼800°C) than pulverized firing (∼1400°C) results only partial decomposition of oil shale contained carbonates, meaning lower specific fuel consumption values and decreased CO2 emissions. Also fly ash composition and properties has been changed, which results in different new prospectives of ash utilization possibilities, but also some additional ash land filling problems. The paper analyses the first data of Estonian oil shale industrial CFB firing in the light of almost 40 year experience of Estonian oil shale use in power production.

Full text

Abstract:

Advantages of fluidized bed combustion technology such as the ability to burn wide variety of fuels efficiently and to control pollutant emissions without flue gas treatment systems have led to a steady increase in its commercial use over the past decades. There exist widely spread lignite reserves in Turkey with an estimated total quantity of 8 billion tons. A major proportion of this indigenous lignite is characterized by high sulfur, moisture and ash contents. CFBC is the fastest growing and still developing technology especially for such indigenous fuels. Meeting the environmental requirements needs high desulfurization efficiency. Special emphasis must therefore be given to the optimum use of the desulfurization agents, normally limestone, to achieve economical operation and to minimize solid by-product generation. This paper deals with a 2 × 160 MWel CFB plant, currently under construction in C¸an, Turkey. Indigenous lignite with a sulfur content of more than 8% (daf) will be utilized. In order to test the performance of Turkish lignites from C¸an mines, firing tests were performed at the 1.2 MW CFBC test rig at the Niederaussem power plant of RWE Rheinbraun in Germany. Main objective of the tests was to evaluate the sulfur retention efficiency to comply with Turkish emission limits.

Full text

Abstract:

The Dual Receiver Concept presented in this paper improves the adaptation of the central receiver to the steam cycle in a solar thermal power plant. By combination of an open volumetric air heater and a tubular evaporator the Dual-Receiver Concept profits from the advantages of these two concepts while their characteristic problems are avoided. The water is evaporated directly in the tubular steam generator, preheating and superheating is done in heat exchangers by using the hot air from the volumetric receiver (Fig. 1). This paper presents a concept study that extends previous work on the 10 MWel level (Buck et al. 2004) to a level of 100 MWel which is the expected power range of future plants. The results confirm the benefits of the new concept, resulting from higher thermal efficiency of the receiver and lower parasitic power consumption. The annual mean efficiency is increased from 13% to 16%. Advantageous are also the reduced thermal loads in the receiver components.

Abstract:

The direct steam generation (DSG) in parabolic trough collectors is a promising option to improve the mature parabolic trough solar thermal power plant technology of the Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) in California. According to previous studies [1–3], the cost reduction of the DSG process compared to the SEGS technology is expected to be 8 to 25%. All these studies were more or less preliminary since they lacked detailed information on the design of collector fields, absorber tubes required for steam temperatures higher than 400°C and power blocks adapted to the specific needs of the direct steam generation. To bridge this gap, a detailed system analysis was performed within the German R&D project DIVA. Power blocks and collector fields were designed for four different capacities (5, 10, 50 and 100 MWel) and different live steam parameters. The live steam temperature was varied between saturation temperature and 500°C, and live steam pressures of 40, 64 and 100 bar were investigated. To assess the different cases, detailed yield analyses of the overall system were performed using hourly data for the direct normal irradiation and the ambient temperature for typical years. Based on these results the levelized costs of electricity were determined for all cases and compared to a reference system using synthetic oil as heat transfer fluid (HTF). This paper focuses on two main project findings. First, the 50 MWel DSG system parameter comparisons are presented. Second, the detailed comparison between a DSG and a SEGS-like 100 MWel system is given. The main result of the investigation is that the benefit of the DSG process depends on the project site and can reach an 11% reduction of the levelized electricity cost (LEC).

Abstract:

With 620 MWel in operation [1] and more than 2.000 MWel under construction, concentrated solar power (CSP) experiences a renaissance mainly in Spain and the USA, but also in many other countries in the earth’s sunbelt. Due to their large capacity (50 MWel and more) and thus large investment, CSP projects are characterised by an extensive project development process. In several stages of this process, mathematical models of the system predicting its energy yield are required, among others to: • assess single CSP projects (e.g., feasibility or due diligence studies), • compare different CSP concepts (e.g., technology, site), • optimise a project (e.g., solar field size, storage capacity), • investigate the influence of component characteristics (e.g., receiver characteristics), • optimise the operation strategy (e.g., on-line surveillance) or to • assess system performance during commissioning. The models used for these different tasks differ in complexity and accuracy, e.g. the accuracy of a model used for project assessment during commissioning has to be higher than a model used for a pre-feasibility study. At the moment, numerous modelling approaches exist and every project developer uses his own system model and assessment methodology. This confusing situation hinders the acceptance of CSP technology by potential investors. This paper presents a methodology for structuring systems into sub-systems. This is the first step towards a standardized modelling approach for CSP systems. It is not the intention of the authors to present a final model and assessment methodology but to start a broader discussion on this important topic. In fact, it aims at initiating an international working group, devoted to the definition of guidelines for modelling, simulation and assessment of CSP systems, covering all CSP technologies such as solar towers, parabolic troughs, linear Fresnel collectors and solar dishes.

Abstract:

Nuclear power becomes more and more important in many countries worldwide as a basis for current and future electrical-energy generation. The largest group of operating Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) equipped with water-cooled reactors (96% of all NPPs) have gross thermal efficiencies ranging from 30% and up to 36%. Such relatively low values of thermal efficiencies are due to lower pressures/temperatures at the inlet to a turbine (4.5–7.8 MPa / 257–293°C). However, modern combined-cycle power plants (Brayton gas-turbine cycle and subcritical-pressure steam Rankine cycle, fuel – natural gas) and supercritical-pressure coal-fired power plants have reached gross thermal efficiencies of 62% and 55%, respectively. Therefore, next generation or Generation IV NPPs with water-cooled reactors should have thermal efficiencies as close as possible to those of modern thermal power plants. A significant increase in thermal efficiencies of water-cooled NPPs can be possible only due to increasing turbine inlet parameters above the critical point of water, i.e., SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactors (SCWRs) have to be designed. This path of the thermal-efficiency increasing is considered as a conventional way through which coal-fired power plants gone more than 50 years ago. Therefore, an objective of the current paper is a study on neutronics and thermalhydraulics characteristics of a generic 1200-MWel Pressure-Channel (PCh) SCWR. Standard neutronics codes DRAGON and DONJON have been coupled with a new thermalhydraulic code developed based on the latest empirical heat-transfer correlation, which allowed for more accurate estimation of basic characteristics of a PCh SCWR. In addition, the CFD Fluent code has been used for better understanding of specifics of heat transfer in supercritical water. Future studies will be dedicated to materials and fuels testing in an in-pile supercritical-water loop and developing passive-safety systems.

American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icone22-30132.

Full text

Abstract:

Current generation water-cooled Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) have significantly lower thermal efficiencies than their thermal counterparts; due, partially, to their lower turbine-inlet steam temperature. Nuclear steam superheat can be implemented in a generic pressure-channel nuclear reactor to increase the temperature of the steam at the inlet of the turbine, and thus increase the thermal efficiency of a NPP. A heat flux is computed specifically for a stable SuperHeated Steam (SHS) and Pressurized Water (PW) 520 pressure-channel reactor core configuration, from which a unique temperature profile for each coolant (as a bulk fluid) is calculated. Using the coolant temperature profile of each coolant, the sheath temperature distribution is calculated, using Fourier’s law, and the fuel pellets’ axial and radial temperature profiles are determined using an analytical solution to the temperature distribution in a solid with uniform heat generation. Properties of the coolant, sheath, and fuel were calculated based on the temperature (and pressure, in the case of coolant) along the heated length of a channel. The effects on the flow rates and the differences in the required channel powers, due to the addition of the SHS channels, were also considered. To ensure safe operating parameters, the maximum sheath and fuel centerline temperatures were shown to be much lower than the operating limits. The implementation of steam superheat in a generic 1200-MWel pressure-channel nuclear reactor allows for an increase in the temperature of steam at the inlet of a turbine from ∼319°C to ∼550°C, and ultimately an increase in the thermal efficiency of the NPP by about 5–7%.

Full text

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to modify the current existing CANFLEX® fuel-bundle design to examine its ability to withstand high-temperature conditions of a proposed generic reactor with nuclear steam reheat. One of this reactor’s characteristics is having Super-Heated Steam (SHS) channels in addition to Pressurized-Water (PW) channels in order to increase the thermal efficiency of the plant by about 7–12%. This increase may be attained by raising the outlet temperature of the SHS-channels coolant to about 550°C. Operating at the higher temperatures will definitely have an effect on the mechanical and neutronic properties of fuel-channel materials, specifically on fuel-sheath and pressure-tube materials. This paper compares Inconel-600 and SS-304 in order to determine the most suitable material for SHS-channel’s sheath and pressure tube. This is achieved by comparing strength of materials by performing stress- and displacement-analysis simulation using NX8.5 software (NX8.5, 2009). The analysis in this paper can also be applied to other Nuclear-Power Plants (NPPs) that require operating at higher temperatures such as Super-Critical Water-cooled Reactors (SCWRs).
