In this paper the findings are reported from an experimental study of the heat transfer and flow created between two vertical parallel walls heated from one side. In the laboratory a mock up of a facade provided with photovoltaic elements (PV) was built. Surface and air temperatures were...

The impetus of this paper is to analyse numerically and experimentally the flow and heat transfer characteristics of buoyancy-driven air convection behind photovoltaic panels. Both convection and radiation heat exchanges are considered as the heat transfer mechanisms by which the thermal energy...

Heat cooperation between industries and district heating companies is often economically and environmentally beneficial. In this paper, energy cooperation between an integrated Swedish pulp and paper mill and two nearby energy companies was analysed through economic optimisations. The synergies...

The objective of the study is to analyse the conditions for connection of residential buildings in heat sparse areas to district heating systems in order to increase electricity production in municipal combined heat and power plants. The European electricity market has been assumed to be fully...
