Integrating Energy Planning and Techno-Economic Development: A Solid Basis for the Assessment and Transfer of Energy Technology to Developing Countries

نویسنده

چکیده

Introduction Developing countries which suffer from several technical and technological weaknesses and of under-developed socio-economic systems, also face energy shortages and inefficient energy systems. This situation gets worse if we take into account the high population growth rate in these countries. Such an enormous increase in population leads to a scramble for limited energy resources and increasingly causes environmental negative impacts (i.e. CO2 emission and global warming, natural resources depletion, deforestation) particularly those effects from consuming fossil fuels. There has been a steep reduction in oil prices since the middle of the 1980s caused by two main factors apart from political reasons: the development of alternative sources of energy, especially of renewable resources, and also the trend of efficient ways to use energy.

Techno-Economic Assessment of Heat Recovery in Series Condensers Arrangement: Hot and Humid Regions

A direct expansion (DX) HVAC system is an efficient way to supply fresh and dehumidified air to a built environment. To improve the efficiency of a conventional DX system in hot and humid regions, fresh air dehumidification and conditioning systems with energy recovery measures are the key equipment to reach such a goal. To achieve this goal an integrated system is proposed. The integrated syst...

Techno-Economic Assessment of Different Inlet Air Cooling Systems in Warm Dry & Wet Climate Stations

Performance of a gas turbine mainly depends on the inlet air temperature. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls. The objective here is to assess the advanced systems applied in reducing the gas turbine intake air temperature and examine the merits from integration of the ...
