A model for high temperature co-electrolysis (HTCE) of carbon dioxide and water using solid oxide electrolytic cells (SOEC) for syngas production and subsequent conversion to liquid fuels by a Fischer–Tropsch (F–T) process is presented. The SOEC model is guided by experimental data from the...

bCHP (Biomass combined heat and power) systems are highly efficient at smaller-scales when a significant proportion of the heat produced can be effectively utilised for hot water, space heating or industrial heating purposes. However, there are many barriers to project development and this has...

Biomass has emerged in the renewable energy area with high potential to contribute to the energy needs in both the industrialized and developing countries. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the economic feasibility of three different configurations of a woodchips power plant...

Double reheat steam systems have been receiving more attention because of the rapid development of ultra-supercritical power plants. In this study, the thermodynamic analysis and design optimization of a double reheat system in an ultra-supercritical power plant are comprehensively conducted....

Due to the mismatch between the load demand and the intermittent solar energy, a stand-alone photovoltaic-hydrogen system and an optimal control scheme are designed to maintain the high system efficiency.
