Over the last few decades, researchers have developed a number of empirical and theoretical models for correlation prediction thermophysical properties pure fluids mixtures treated as pseudo-pure fluids. In this paper, survey all state-of-the-art formulations is presented. The most-accurate thermodynamic are obtained from multiparameter Helmholtz-energy-explicit-type formulations. For transport properties, wider range methods has been employed, including extended corresponding states method....
New heat conversion technologies need to be developed and improved take advantage of the necessary increase in supply renewable energy. The Organic Rankine Cycle is well suited for these applications, mainly because its ability recover low-grade possibility implemented decentralized lower-capacity power plants. In this paper, an overview different ORC applications presented. A market review proposed including cost figures several commercial modules manufacturers. An in-depth analysis...
Energy policy often builds on insights gained from quantitative energy models and their underlying data. As climate change mitigation economic concerns drive a sustained transformation of the sector, transparent well-founded analyses are more important than ever. We assert that associated data must be openly available to facilitate higher quality science, greater productivity through less duplicated effort, effective science-policy boundary. There also valid reasons why code not open:...
The recent development of new and innovative home battery systems has been seen by many as a catalyst for solar energy revolution, created high expectations in the sector. Many observers have predicted an uptake combined PV/battery units which could ultimately disconnect from grid lead to autonomous homes or micro-grids. However, most comments social media, blogs press articles lack proper cost evaluation realistic simulations. We aim bridge this gap simulating self-consumption various EU...
The mass-scale integration of electric vehicles into the power system is a key pillar European energy transition agenda. Yet, extent to which such would represent burden for each member country still an unanswered question. This mainly due lack accurate and context-specific representations aggregate mobility charging patterns large vehicle fleets. Here, we develop validate against empirical data open-source model that simulates at high (1-min) temporal resolution, based on easy-to-gather,...
This paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out on a prototype hermetic scroll expander, integrated into gas cycle test rig, whose working fluid is HFC-245fa. system designed to only performance expander. It made up mainly compressor, heat exchanger, and by-pass valve. The latter used adjust pressure ratio imposed expander was originally compressor for pump applications characterized by nominal power input 2.5 kWe. Performance evaluated in terms isentropic effectiveness...
This work examines the role of centralised cogeneration plants as one potential pathways a future decarbonised energy system. Even in this context, thermal power will still exist and utilisation their excess heat via district heating networks can assist decarbonisation built environment. In particular, existing to operate combined (CHP) is assessed impact on system quantified. To do so, European demand for environment described, focused supplied with fossil fuels, sector discussed. Then,...
This paper presents the results of an on-going project to develop ThermoCycle, open Modelica library for simulation low-capacity thermodynamic cycles and thermal systems.Special attention is paid robustness speed since dynamic simulations are often limited by numerical constraints failures, either during initialization or integration.Furthermore, use complex equations state (EOS) compute properties significantly decreases speed.In this paper, approach adopted in overcome these challenges...
