Polygeneration system for chemical and power co-production has been regarded as one of the promising technologies for fossil fuel sustainable utilization. In this paper, a new polygeneration system with carbon capture is integrated, based on coal gas and coke oven gas inputs for methanol and...

The development of a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system in China is presented in this paper. The key scientific problems of a distributed energy system and the integration principles of a CCHP system are also pointed out. Moreover, two corresponding CCHP systems: one with the...

Reviewing the progress of CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technology, the main obstacles and the potentials of greenhouse gas control in China are identified. An important point can be drawn is that the innovative energy systems, besides simple implementation of existing technology, are needed for...

Polygeneration system for chemical and power co-production has been regarded as one of promising technologies to use fossil fuel more efficiently and cleanly. In this paper the thermodynamic and economic performances of three types of coal-based polygeneration system were investigated and the...

A system integrating CHP (combined heating and power) subsystem based on natural gas and GSHP (ground-source heat pump subsystem) in series is proposed. By help of simulation software-Aspen Plus, the energy performance of a typical CHP&GSHP-S (S refers to ‘in series’) system was analyzed....

Retrofitting existing power plants for CO2 capture poses numerous constraints. The layout of the original process and the structure of the existing equipment cause various special problems in the design process as well as influence system performance. In view of these, this paper carries out...

The combination of desalination technology into concentrating solar power (CSP) plants needs to be considered for the planned installation of CSP plants in arid regions. There are interesting synergies between the two technologies, like the possibility of substituting the condenser of the power...
