Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is increasingly investigated as a viable technology for balancing electricity supply and demand. The main purpose of CAES to overcome the intermittent problem when renewable introduced. However, round-trip efficiency (RTE) system commercially developed still low (around 54 %) requires further improvement. This study proposed novel combined cooling, heating p...

research, and source of authoritative information and leadership, on sustainable energy systems. UKERC undertakes world-class research addressing the whole-systems aspects of energy supply and use while developing and maintaining the means to enable cohesive research in energy. To achieve this we are establishing a comprehensive database of energy research, development and demonstration compete...

In the present study, thermo-economic analysis of a combined solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with a gas turbine, a generator-absorber heat exchanger (GAX) and heating process heat exchanger for heating, cooling and power production as a tri-generation system is conducted. Also, an external steam reformer is applied to convert methanol as oxygenated fuel to hydrogen for the electrochemical process ...

Modelling of Supermarket Energy Control Systems and its Application in Design Integration and Optimisation Dr Yunting Ge Conventional supermarket refrigeration systems are responsible for considerable CO2 emissions due to high energy consumption and large quantities of refrigerant leakage. In the effort to conserve energy and reduce environmental impacts, an efficient design tool for the analys...

A rapid, practical, and profitable commercialization path for fuel cells and H2 can be executed by coordinating convergent trends in several industries. This strategy relies on existing technologies, can begin immediately, and proceeds in a logical and viable sequence. It has two preconditions: uncompromised ultralight-hybrid vehicles whose inherently high efficiency permits their fuel-cell sta...
