Coal based polygeneration, a technology that couples power generation and chemical production, is a promising solution to the challenges of fossil fuel depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon monoxide shift process is a key unit in polygeneration, which adjusts hydrogen and CO ratio...

In this paper a thermoeconomic approach is applied to the dynamic model of a Power System in order to investigate the effects of the control system on the primary energy consumption and on the economic costs of the product. To achieve this objective, various control strategies are compared when...

This paper presents the results of adding a CCS(Carbon Capture and Storage) plant including an underground CO2 storage to a well described and well documented vision of converting the present Danish fossil based energy system into a future sustainable energy system made by the Danish Society of...
