Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources is of great interest as an alternative to fossil fuels and a means for power generation via fuel cells. The aqueous fraction bio-oil can be effectively reformed hydrogen-rich streams in the presence active catalytic materials. In this paper, we present experimental work carried out fixed bed reactor reforming bio-oil. performance was studied at various conditions compared values theoretically predicted by thermodynamic equilibrium. effect...
This work presents a Computer-Aided Molecular Design (CAMD) method for the synthesis and selection of binary working fluid mixtures used in Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC). The consists two stages, initially seeking optimum mixture performance targets by designing molecules acting as first component binaries. identified are subsequently approached required matching selecting concentration. A multiobjective formulation CAMD-optimization problem enables identification numerous candidates,...
Direct current (DC) microgrids (MG) constitute a research field that has gained great attention over the past few years, challenging well-established dominance of their alternating (AC) counterparts in Low Voltage (LV) (up to 1.5 kV) as well Medium (MV) applications 50 kV). The main reasons behind this change are: (i) ascending amalgamation Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Battery Storage Systems (BESS), which predominantly supply DC power energy mix meets electrical demand (ii) use...
Hydrocracking of vegetable oils is a prominent technology for the production biofuels. This work compares product yields and quality hydrocracking fresh used cooking oil under nominal operating conditions. Cracking, heteroatom removal saturation reaction mechanisms are evaluated both feedstock types three typical temperatures. The assessment feedstocks indicates that they suitable high diesel with smaller kerosene/jet gasoline/naphtha yields. As temperature increases, selectivity increases...
Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources can present significant environmental benefits as a means for clean power generation via fuel cells. The aqueous fraction of bio-oil be used source hydrogen production, if reformed in the presence active catalytic materials. Recently, we introduced concept spouted bed reactor this particular process. aim current work is to further investigate suitability novel reactor. effect temperature, H2O/C ratio, space velocity, and heat treatment support...
The increase of distributed energy resources (DERs) in low voltage (LV) distribution networks requires the ability to perform an accurate power flow analysis (PFA) unbalanced systems. characteristics a well performing algorithm are production results, robustness and quick convergence. current study proposes improvement already used backward-forward sweep (BFS) for three-phase networks. proposed can be implemented large systems producing results small amount time using as little computational...
