The majority of articles on Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) so far have focussed the use indirect-contact heat exchangers and a thermal fluid in which to store compression heat. While packed beds been suggested, detailed analysis A-CAES with is lacking available literature. This paper presents such an analysis. We develop numerical model system validate it against analytical solutions. Our results suggest that efficiency excess 70% should be achievable, higher than many...
PV-based mini-grids are identified as a feasible and, often, only economically viable option for the electrification of Kenyan remote and scattered rural areas, where connection to national grid is challenging, related costs high, if not prohibitive. This paper presents analysis typical PV by using some results work in project “Reliable, Efficient Sustainable Mini-Grids Rural Infrastructure Development Kenya (RESILIENT)”. After presenting average annual seasonal daily load profiles...
The synthesis, metalation, and redox properties of an acyclic bis(iminothienyl)methene L- are presented. This π-conjugated anion displayed pronounced activity, undergoing facile one-electron oxidation to the acyclic, metal-free, neutral radical L. on reaction with FeBr2 . In contrast, CuI formed unique, Cu2 I2 (L. ) complex a ligand-centered radical, whereas stronger oxidant AgBF4 metal-free dication L.2+
In remote areas and islands north west of Scotland in many other parts the world, high cost connecting wind farms renewable energy converters to grid may make storage an attractive alternative. We estimated installed capital costs advanced adiabatic compressed air (ACAES), vanadium redox flow cells (VRB) Li-ion batteries range 0.5–50 MW 0.7–30 MWh. These were all order £1 million per MWh, confirming that they already compared favourably with network improvements connection mainland. VRB had...
Abstract Population balance modelling (PBM) is a useful tool for design and prediction in range of processes that involve dispersed phases, particulates or micro‐organisms. In the Inverse Problem approach, constants related to rates evolution and/or interaction individual components are optimized so as match experimentally observed distribution curves. However, significance these results may be slight, several solutions possible. this paper, method presented circumvent problem, applied...

Abstract Offshore wind is a promising renewable energy source for green hydrogen production, providing versatile solution storage and power-to gas concepts. This research investigates how the intermittent nature of offshore impacts components an wind-to-hydrogen system. Proton exchange membrane electrolysers are frequently identified as being best suited to integration with renewables. However, stop-start cycling current from variable power supply can damage electrodes reduce electrolyser...
Abstract This paper presents a proposal for implementing green hydrogen as key component in decarbonizing maritime transportation the Galapagos Islands. The objective is to transition interisland tourists using fuel-cell-powered ferries. Leveraging renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, well mix of them, an integrated techno-economic analysis system presented producing, storing, utilizing fuel. approach addresses unique challenges remote islands, focusing on environmental...
