1. Thermodynamic analysis of Stirling engine systems : Applications for combined heat and power
Sammanfattning : Increasing energy demands and environmental problems require innovative systems for electrical and thermal energy production. In this scenario, the development of small scale energy systems has become an interesting alternative to the conventional large scale centralized plants. LÄS MER
2. Combustion of agricultural residues : Application for Stirling micro-combined heat and power
Sammanfattning : Access to energy services is crucial for the development of countries. Therefore, in developing countries, the access to modern conversion technologies would contribute to reduce the poverty, improve health services and promote the economy especially in rural areas. Around 2.5 billion people in these countries use biomass for cooking. LÄS MER
3. Towards a learning system for process and energy industry : Enabling optimal control, diagnostics and decision support
Sammanfattning : Driven by intense competition, increasing operational cost and strict environmental regulations, the modern process and energy industry needs to find the best possible way to adapt to maintain profitability. Optimization of control and operation of the industrial systems is essential to satisfy the contradicting objectives of improving product quality and process efficiency while reducing production cost and plant downtime.
