This paper presents an evaluation of energy supply strategies for Egypt’s power sector and identifies prospects to meet rising electricity demand while addressing energy security and low-carbon development issues. We apply the TIMES energy system model to examine Egypt’s energy policy goals...

LDAC (liquid desiccant air-conditioning system) is promising for reducing the energy consumption, and improving the indoor air quality. In this paper, the operation performance of LDAC with internally cooled/heated dehumidifier/regenerator was simulated and optimized. The cooling tower and solar...

Bioenergy has been recognized as an important source of energy that will reduce dependency on petroleum. It would have a positive impact on the economy, environment, and society. Production of bioenergy is expected to increase. As a result, we foresee an increase in the number of biorefineries...

The integration of large amounts of variable renewable generation can increase the demand on flexible resources in the power system. Conventional hydropower can be an important asset for managing variability and uncertainty in the power system, but multi-purpose reservoirs are often limited by...

The heat dissipation systems which have liquids as heat carriers outperform conventional dissipation systems at TEGs (thermoelectric generators). However, new elements need to be introduced such as pumps, secondary heat exchangers and piping.

In this study, combined effects of length and heat flux of the coil as well as the effects of temperature dependence of thermophysical properties on entropy generation rates and optimal operation of uniformly heated helical coils with laminar forced convection have been analyzed analytically....
