P. Van den Bossche in OpenAIREAbstract This paper represents a novel lithium-ion capacitor model. The proposed model has significantly high accuracy (less 4%). The model is an extension of Zubieta model for EDLCs. The proposed model consists of three capacitors, representing the influence of temperature, current rate (ΔC1) and SoC (ΔC2) on the capacitance of LiCaps, respectively. Unlike to the electrical double-layer capacitors, the model contains two resistances, illustrating the charge and discharge processes. Then, a self-discharge resistance is added to demonstrate the long term effect on the LiCaps capabilities. This model is able to predict the lithium-ion behavior during constant charging and discharging as well as during short pulses duration. The parameters of the model have been derived based on the extended characterization tests that have been carried out. The investigated performance parameters are energy and power abilities, charge and discharge capabilities at different current rates. Furthermore, these parameters have been examined at different working temperatures (60 °C, 40 °C, 25 °C, 0 °C and −18 °C). The experimental results reveal that the type of lithium-ion capacitor used in this work has an energy density about 14 Wh/kg, which is two and half times higher than the used EDLC. These results also indicate similar properties as the electrical double-layer capacitors in the terms of internal resistance and state of charge determination. In contrast to EDLCs, the results show that lithium-ion capacitors suffer considerably at the low temperatures due to lower energy at high current rate. The same characteristics can be observed during discharge phase, due to the occurrence of the Peukert effect. Moreover, series of tests have been carried out at different state of charge values. Here we have found that the capacitance has a polynomial relationship against a linear equation for EDLC and it seems in function of applied current rates. From the point of view of the power capabilities, several approaches have been investigated based on the EDLC and battery methodologies. The results reveal that the power density according to EDLC method is about 1200 W/kg with a pulse efficiency of 90%. However, the W/kg based on the battery method during 2 s pulse is about 500 W/kg. Furthermore, a life cycle test has been done based on the load profile as reported in the forthcoming ISO 12405-2 standard. The preliminary results figure out that the life cycle of the lithium-ion capacitors is decreased with 3.4% till 1400 cycles. Then forward, the capacity reduction is stabilized until 4000 cycles.

M. Messagie in OpenAIREAbstract Grid-connected renewable energy systems are considered a viable solution for satisfying the swiftly growing demand. Nevertheless, the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources (RESs) hinders their performance and can not be efficiently utilized, rather imposes power quality and instability problem on the grid system. To alleviate this challenge, it is common practice to integrate RESs with efficient battery energy storage technologies. Lead-acid batteries were playing the leading role utilized as stationary energy storage systems. However, currently, there are other battery technologies like lithium-ion (Li-ion), which are used in stationary storage applications though there is uncertainty in its cost-effectiveness. In this paper, a state-of-the-art simulation model and techno-economic analysis of Li-ion and lead-acid batteries integrated with Photovoltaic Grid-Connected System (PVGCS) were performed with consideration of real commercial load profiles and resource data. The Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) was used for the study of the techno-economic analysis. Besides, the performance of these batteries is greatly affected by the rate of charge and discharge cycling effects which gradually degrades the capacity of the battery. This effect was also investigated with Matlab using a simplified equivalent circuit model by considering a typical stationary application datasheet. The techno-economic simulation output provided that the system with Li-ion battery resulted in a Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of 0.32 €/kWh compared to the system with lead-acid battery with LCOE of 0.34 €/kWh. Besides, the Net Present Cost (NPC) of the system with Li-ion batteries is found to be €14399 compared to the system with the lead-acid battery resulted in an NPC of €15106. According to the result found, Li-ion batteries are techno-economically more viable than lead-acid batteries under the considered specifications and application profile.

Three different criteria of optimality are considered. The first two respectively account for the exergetic and the enthalpic value of the useful heat. The third criterion is based on an approximate evaluation of the fixed and operating costs, considered proportional to the inverse of the heat storage capacity. An analysis based on the values of the coefficient of performance and of the mass flow rates, expressed as a function of the gross temperature lift, points out the significance of the criterion based on the heat storage capacity. This result is also supported by considering the ability of the heat transformer to maintain its performance in different external conditions.

Rosario Romano in OpenAIREAbstract The stack represents the core of standing wave engines since inside it the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy. Commonly stacks are realized with straight pores whose sections have regular shapes (e.g. circular, rectangular). In these cases the viscous and thermal interactions are described by well-known spatially averaged thermal and viscous functions. Instead, for a materials having tortuous pore, there is a lack in theoretical description of the thermoacoustic phenomenon. This paper deals with the performance of a thermoacoustic engine in which a tortuous porous material is used as stack. The spatially averaged thermal and viscous functions are obtained by classical models used to describe the sound propagation inside a porous material. In particular the Johnson–Champoux–Allard model is considered. It requires the knowledge of five parameters instead of the only hydraulic radius used to describe the standard stack having straight pores (e.g. circular, slit or square pores). The physical meaning of these parameters is explained starting from a straight circular pore and modifying, step by step, the shape of the pore until it becomes tortuous. The proposed functions have been included in the Rott theory and implemented in a numerical procedure. The achieved results are useful to analyse the thermoacoustic performance of a standing wave engine and to understand how the gain factor as well as the viscous and thermal losses inside the stack are affected by the tortuosity. A validation of this procedure is given by comparing the obtained results with ones given by DeltaEC software. This work can be useful to understand the applicability of tortuous porous materials, such as fibrous material as well as open-cell material, for standing wave thermoacoustic engines.

Barnert;Abstract The High Temperature Reactor HTR offers beside the production of electricity the potential of the production of secondary energy carriers for the fuel and heat market. Therefore the HTR can considerably contribute to solutions of future problems in the energy supply of the Federal Republic of Germany as well as of the world. On the basis of the experiences with the power plants AVR, Fort St. Vrain and THTR-300 new concepts of reactors have been proposed: the medium size reactor HTR 500 and the Modular HTR concept. The high temperature heat application is directed towards the refinement of fossil fuels, the long distance energy system and other applications as e.g. process steam for chemical industry, enhanced oil recovery and water splitting. The research and development program in the projects Prototype Plant Nuclear Process Heat (PNP) and Nuclear Long Distance Energy (NFE) has shown very promising results. These results show that nuclear process heat is technically feasibly and that it is possible to reach a commercial application in the next decades.

Mohamed Osman in OpenAIREAbstract In this research, a multi-tube heat exchanger filled with phase change material (PCM) is constructed and investigated experimentally to evaluate its capability to serve as a heat storage unit in solar domestic water heating (SDWH) systems. Several operational conditions comprising the PCM initial temperature and the water discharge flowrates are included in the test as external factors to evaluate the performance of the proposed shell-and-tube latent-heat storage unit (STLHS) as a part of a SDWH system. The STLHS unit is assessed according to several quantitative, qualitative, and economic key performance indicators extracted from the Egyptian plumbing code (EPC). Firstly, the quantitative results show that the proposed STLHS unit increased the water temperature by a range of 7–12 °C and maintained a constant hot water supply for extended periods, 2–3 h. Secondly, from the qualitative point of view, the achieved heating levels are insufficient to fulfill the domestic needs according to the benchmark water temperature established by the EPC. Thirdly, evaluating the STLHS unit on an economic basis shows that the annual fuel saving increases by increasing the unit initial temperature, where the annual fuel consumption savings reach 130 m3 of natural gas. Finally, the acquired techno-economic performance measurements emphasize that the proposed unit has a notable possibility for several design modifications to achieve more improvements in its performance.

Environmentally extended multiregional input-output (MRIO) analysis can be used to investigate final production and consumption attributions of emissions. As the distinction between the two attributions has been brought to the attention of policy-makers, there is an ever greater need to understand how and why they differ, by analyzing the connections between production and consumption activities. Seeking to meet this need, we present an approach for mapping flows of embodied emissions through a Leontief production system. The approach, seen as an extension of Structural Path Analysis (SPA), provides an exhaustive map of supply chain linkages between final production and consumption attributions of emissions. Whereas SPA is traditionally used to extract and rank individual supply chains according to the emissions occurring at the end of each chain, the mapping approach considers emissions embodied in the flows of intermediate products linking different economic sectors along supply chains. Illustrative results are presented from a global MRIO model and CO(2) emissions for 2004. The emissions embodied in a sector's total output of products is also of interest: a method for calculating this is presented and shown to provide further insight into where in the production system a sector's overall emissions impact is concentrated.

Some directions are discussed, such as the improvement of the energy efficiency and environmental performance of systems, the development of new technologies, the increase of the use of renewable energy sources, the promotion of holistic and multidisciplinary studies, and the implementation of new management rules and "eco-friendly and sustainable" oriented policies at different scales. The interrelations of the diverse energy systems are also discussed in order to address their main social, economic and environmental impacts. The subjects covered include the assessment of the electricity market and its main players (demand, supply, distribution), the evaluation of urban systems (buildings, transportation, commuting), the analysis of the implementation of renewable energy cooperatives, the discussion of the diffusion of the electric vehicle and the importance of new bioenergy systems. This paper also presents relevant research carried out in the framework of the Energy for Sustainability (EfS) Initiative of the University of Coimbra, linking the reviewed areas to the multidisciplinary approach adopted by the EfS Initiative. To conclude, several research topics that should be addressed in the near future are proposed.

Three main regimes of flame spread are established as the fuel thickness is varied. The first, where the spread rate increases with the solid thickness, is observed for a narrow range of very thin solids and is controlled by gas-phase chemical kinetics. In the second regime, the spread rates, which compare favorably with experimental measurements, decrease as the solid thickness is increased (thermally thin regime). Finally, as the fuel thickness is increased beyond a certain limit, the thermally thick regime, that is a constant spread rate, is simulated. Good agreement between the spread rates predicted by the numerical model and the analytical theory by de Ris is obtained in the limit of the thermally thin and thermally thick regime. However, the transition from one regime to the other occurs for largely different fuel thicknesses. The mechanisms of energy feedback to the unburned solid ahead of the flame have also been investigated. Gas-phase heat conduction dominates the first and the second regime of flame spread. The contribution of solid-phase heat conduction to the energy transfer ahead of the flame increases with the fuel thickness reaching, for thermally thick solids, a maximum of about 50% of the total energy transferred.
