First- and Second-generation Valorisation of Wastes and Residues Occurring in the Food Supply Chain
Despite the high potential to increase sustainability of food systems, wastes and byproducts occurring in the food supply chain are currently only partially valorised at different valueadded levels. First-generation valorisation strategies that aim at utilisation of complete material streams for production of animal feed, energy, compost and/or specific consumer applications are already widely ...
متن کاملOpportunities to improve nutrient efficiency in pigs and poultry through breeding.
Efficiency of food and nutrient (including energy) use are considered the key factors in the economic and environmental performance of livestock systems. The aim of this paper is to consider the basis of genetic variation in the components that constitute dietary nutrient efficiency; and to conclude whether there would be benefit, in any relevant terms, in including these components in breeding...
متن کاملSmart Grids for Optimised Utilisation of Renewable Energy Supply
Future energy systems will increasingly rely on distributed and renewable energy sources (RES). Electrical feed-in of photovoltaic (PV) power plants and wind energy converters (WEC may vary greatly, the supply of electrical power from RES and the demand for electrical power are not per se matching. and in addition, with a growing share of generation capacity especially in distribution grids, th...
متن کاملA Strategic Study of Energy Efficient and Hybrid Energy System Options for a Multi-family Building in Korea
This study is to identify performance of energy efficiency measures and to match low-carbon and renewable energy (RE) systems supplies to demands in the context of multi-family residential buildings in Korea. An approach to the evaluation of the hybrid energy systems was investigated, including consideration of heat and power demand profiles, energy system combinations, building design options ...
متن کاملReducing the Motor Power Losses of a Four-Wheel Drive Fully Electric Vehicle via Wheel Torque Allocation
Individually-controlled electric motors provide opportunities for enhancing the handling characteristics and energy efficiency of fully electric vehicles. Online power loss minimisation schemes based on electric motor efficiency data may, however, be impractical for real-time implementation due to the heavy computational demand. In this paper, the optimal wheel torque distribution for minimal p...
