Electrogenesis in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is a promising approach to extract useful energy from sewage sludge. However, its impact on ultimate sludge disposal (e.g., incineration) has not been well evaluated. In the present work, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry were...

With the advanced methods of digital image processing and optical sensing, it is possible to have continuous imaging carried out on-line in combustion processes. In this paper, a method that extracts characteristics from the flame images is presented to immediately predict the outlet content of...

In the electricity industry, the processes through which consumers respond to price signals embedded in tariffs by changing their consumption patterns is generally referred to as demand response. In such a context, consumers are offered an opportunity to maximize the surplus derived from...

The energy security performance of Thailand has been assessed using the “Aggregated Energy Security Performance Indicator (AESPI)” for the period 1986–2030. During 1986–1991, AESPI had a sharply decreasing trend from level 9 to level 7 (maximum is 10), implying that the country’s...

An “Aggregated Energy Security Performance Indicator (AESPI)” has been developed by considering 25 individual indicators representing social, economy and environmental dimensions. The principle used, data required and the methodology for the development of AESPI have been detailed. AESPI...
