The paper considers the integration and joint operation of a methane steam reforming unit (MSRU) heat pump (HPU) at thermal power plant (TPP) as one possible ways to follow global decarbonization policy. Research methods are simulation modeling in program “United Cycle” analysis thermodynamic cycles pumps. Petrozavodskaya combined (CHPP) was selected object research. During research, technologi...

This work is focused on the thermodynamic optimization of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs), coupled with absorption or adsorption cooling units, for combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) generation from biomass combustion. Results were obtained by modelling with the main aim of providing optimization guidelines for the operating conditions of these types of systems, specifically the subcritica...

The energy sector in Romania consists of three sub-sectors: electricity, natural gas and heat. Among these, the sub-sector of thermal energy is in the most precarious situation because it has been neglected for a long time. This sub-sector is particularly important both due to the amount of final heat consumption (of over 50% of final energy consumption), and to the fact that it has a direct ne...

The spreading of nearly zero-energy buildings in Mediterranean climate can be supported by the suitable coupling traditional solar heating, photovoltaics and radiative cooling. latter is a well-known passive cooling technique, but it not so commonly used due to low power density long payback periods. In this study, energy performance system converting into electricity heat during daytime offeri...
