Abstract:

Availability of and access to water and energy are key ingredients for economic and social development. Predictions show that pressure on already limited water and energy resources is expected to increase in many parts of the world as a result of growing populations, rapid urbanization, increasing pollution and climate change impacts. The water and energy systems are highly interdependent and these interlinks provide important opportunities to improve resource security and prevent inefficient decisions which could exacerbate problems even further. This thesis explores the benefits to be gained

Abstract:

This study explores the application of micro-CCHP systems that utilize a 30 kW gas microturbine and an absorption chiller. Engineering Equation Solver (EES) is used to model a novel single-effect and double-effect water-lithium bromide absorption chiller that integrates the heat recovery unit and cooling tower of a conventional CCHP system into the chiller’s design, reducing the cost and footprint of the system. The results of the EES model are used to perform heat and material balances for the micro-CCHP systems employing the novel integrated chillers, and energy budgets for these systems are

Abstract:

This thesis concerns the design, implementation and operation of a hydrogen energy storage facility that has been added to an existing renewable energy system at West Beacon Farm, Leicestershire, UK. The hydrogen system consists of an electrolyser, a pressurised gas store and fuel cells. At times of surplus electrical supply, the electrolyser converts electrical energy into chemical energy in the form of hydrogen. This hydrogen is stored until there is a shortage of electrical energy to power the loads on the system, at which point it is reconverted back to electricity by the process of revers

Many countries are advancing down the road of electricity privatization, deregulation, and competition as a solution to their growing electricity demand and other challenges posed by the monopolistic nature of the existing structure. Presently, Nigeria has a supply deficit of electricity as a result of the growing demand. This imbalance has negatively affected the economy of the country and the social-economic well-being of the population. Hence, there is an urgent need to reform the power sector for greater efficiency and better performance. The objectives of the reform are to meet the growin

The boom experienced by renewable sources in recent years has changed their consideration as a marginal component of the electrical system mix into a major player with an important role in the demand coverage in many countries. Regarding the PV technology, its weight within the electrical systems in countries such as Germany, Spain and Japan suggests that integration problems may arise if the current installation trends are maintained. Most of these problems are connected to one of its main handicaps: its stochasticity and its high level of intermittency, both characteristics clearly dependent

New applications of turbines in hydro power even in micro-scale projects have emerged. Water supply systems are large energy consumers due to the large amount of energy needed for pumping the water from low to high heights. However, gravity fed subsystems generally presents excess of pressure, which is lost with pressure reducing valves. Therefore, energy can be recovered from locals of excessively high flow an

The research established that economic assessment studies, process-energy configuration, choice of renewabl

Abstract:

Environmental concerns about the effect of greenhouse gases have led governments to regulate industrial CO2 emissions, including through emissions caps, trading and penalties, thus creating economic incentives to reduce CO2 emissions. This research focuses on strategies to reduce CO2 emissions from energy systems in the context of the process industries. In the process industries, energy systems consume fuel to generate steam and power for site process units. Improving energy efficiency can reduce costs of energy generation and use, as well as CO2 emissions. This research develops an integrate

Abstract:

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are popular in rural areas because they provide low cost and clean electricity for homes and irrigation systems. The primary challenge of PV systems is their intermittent nature. The typical solution is storing energy in batteries; however, they are expensive and possess a short lifespan. This research proposes a new type of pumped hydro storage (PHS) which can be implemented as an alternative to batteries. The components of the system are modelled to consider losses of the system accurately. The mathematic model developed in this project assists the management system

Abstract:

Doutoramento em Engenharia Mecânica<br>A eficiência energética representa um papel significativo no esforço para a sustentabilidade por parte das empresas das águas, uma vez que, mundialmente, 35% dos custos totais com a produção de água (12 mil milhões de euros) estão a ser gastos em energia. Os principais obstáculos à melhoria da eficiência energética dos sistemas de abastecimento de água estão essencialmente relacionados com a complexidade dos sistemas e também com os baixos níveis de resiliência a nível operacional. O principal objectivo desta tese é o desenvolvimento de uma metodol

Abstract:

Gli interventi di efficienza energetica nei sistemi di approvvigionamento idrico possono portare a significativi vantaggi energetici, ambientali ed economici. In questa tesi, sono state studiate alcune strategie per prevedere le portate d'acqua e migliorare l'efficienza degli acquedotti. In particolare, è stato analizzato l’acquedotto italiano situato nel comune di Osimo, nelle Marche. La prima parte di questa tesi presenta una metodologia per la previsione delle portate nelle condotte di adduzione a gravità basata sui dati di consumo delle bollette elettriche, cosi da poter valutare il recupe
