The use of reversible solid oxide cells within a renewable energy community results promising application which permits to balance the temporal mismatch between production and users' demand through hydrogen as vector. Differently from batteries supercapacitors, this technology is characterized by high stored density negligible daily self-discharge. Nevertheless, system management more complex requiring cell behaviour optimization storage control. Here work proposes control algorithm for...
The development of robust mathematical models could provide the necessary tools for a more rapid, efficient, and reliable spouted bed technology development. Computer simulations can be very useful to aid this design scale-up process: firstly, they contribute obtain fundamental insight into their complex dynamic behavior by understanding elementary physical principles such as drag, friction, dissipation etc.; secondly, used tool where ultimate goal is have numerical model with predictive...
The continuous increase of energy demand with the subsequent huge fossil fuel consumption is provoking dramatic environmental consequences. main challenge this century to develop and promote alternative, more eco-friendly production routes. In framework, Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) are a quite attractive technology which could satisfy users’ request working in reversible operation. Two operating modes alternated: from “Gas Power”, when SOCs work as cells fed hydrogen-rich mixture provide both...
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) have emerged as an attractive alternative for efficient cogeneration of electricity and heat with reduced emissions during operation. High working temperatures result in optimized kinetics higher efficiencies comparison to other fuel cell types. Among different designs, Anode Supported (ASCs) Electrolyte are currently the most promising configurations on a commercial scale. This work analyses these two designs focus electrochemical features main performance...
Ammonia is a well-known chemical and rising candidate as hydrogen carrier. Nevertheless, its synthesis process decarbonization preliminary target. Since the Haber-Bosch loop still best path guaranteeing high yield capacity, alternative nitrogen upstream production steps have to be identified. Based on water electrolysis, Power-to-Ammonia application allows for coupling performing traditional with renewables. This configuration would minimise environmental impacts make decentralised local...
The recyclability of polylactide acid (PLA) and poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV)-based biocomposites (10%, 20% 30% by weight sisal natural fibre) was evaluated in this work. mechanical thermal properties were initially determined shown to be similar commodity plastics, such as polyethylene or polypropylene. Three recycle steps carried out the recycled samples compared reference samples. tensile modulus increased for PLA biocomposites, whereas it hardly influenced recycling...
