Applying Machine Learning Algorithms to Oil Reservoir Production Optimization

In well control optimization for an oil reservoir described by a set of geological models, the expectation of net present value (NPV) is optimized. This approach called robust optimization, entails running the reservoir simulator for all the reservoir models at each iteration of the optimization algorithm. Hence, robust optimization can be computationally demanding. One way to reduce the comput...

High Temperature Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage Applications: Preprint

To store thermal energy, sensible and latent heat storage materials are widely used. Latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) systems using phase change materials (PCM) are useful because of their ability to charge and discharge a large amount of heat from a small mass at constant temperature during a phase transformation. Because high-melting-point PCMs have large energy densities, their use c...

Numerical investigation on sensible thermal energy storage with porous media for high temperature solar systems

In this paper different high temperature TES components are numerically analyzed. The difference is defined by the different type of porous medium employed in the storage. Two different porous media are considered: spheres or foams. In all cases a ceramic material is considered. In the formulation of the model it is assumed that the system geometry is cylindrical, the fluid and the solid thermo...
