Gas-based combined heat and power (CHP) has matured enough to be regarded as the next evolutionary step in promoting energy efficiency use in the urban environment. Although its potential market is increasing, little research has been conducted into the combined technical effects that a high penetration of these units may have on both natural gas and electric (G&E) distribution networks. This p...

This two-part paper assesses four strategies for energy recovery from municipal solid waste (MSW) by dedicated waste-to-energy (WTE) plants generating electricity through a steam cycle. The feedstock is the residue after materials recovery (MR), assumed to be 35% by weight of the collected MSW. In strategy 1, the MR residue is fed directly to a grate combustor. In strategy 2, the MR residue is ...

The paper is about research of the algorithms, methods of the classification and prediction objects’ groups, depiction of the informationmathematical system, which is created on these algorithms’ basis. They use variety methods of the machine learning and their compilations – aggregative classifier, all of these is for the solution of the classification’s problem, particularly borrower’s solven...

Fuel cell technology is expected to contribute to mitigate CO2 emission in Japan. However, detailed quantitative analyses have not been done. This study analyzes the changes in energy consumption and accompanying CO2 emission by the penetration of PEM-FC cogeneration systems in Japan quantitatively by taking dynamic changes in power generation mix into account. The Optimal Generation Mix Model ...
