recently, many countries have paid substantial attention to power generation from biomass gasification, particularly through small-scale plants. a number of power plant models have been suggested and analyzed; however, certainly, desirable configurations have not been identified yet. moreover, their performances are ordinarily difficult to compare, especially owing to the fact that working hypo...

This work analyses the two most diffused technologies for biogas upgrading, namely water scrubbing and membrane separation. In order to carry out such analysis, these are coupled with photovoltaic panels an electric energy storage system. The optimal renewable plant achieves a primary saving of 5.22 GWh/year operating cost 488 k€/year, resulting in best plant. It was compared reference system b...

This study evaluates the viability of an industrial salinity gradient solar pond during two operating seasons (2014 and 2015). The Granada was built to supply low-temperature heat (up 60 °C) satisfy temperature requirements flotation unit in a mineral processing plant (Solvay Minerales (Spain)). Energy analysis indicates that non-convective zone (NCZ) upper convective (UCZ) have low efficiencie...
