Oxy-coal combustion has different flue gas composition from the conventional air-coal combustion. The different composition further results in different properties, such as the absorption coefficient, emissivity, and density, which can directly affect the heat transfer in both radiation and...

A conceptual system, mobilized thermal energy storage system (M-TES), was proposed for distributed heat supply. The economic evaluation that is essential to identify the key issues and provide guidelines regarding system improvement was conducted in this paper. Results show that the cost using...

Introducing CO2 capture and storage (CCS) into the power systems requires the re-investigation of the load balance for the electrical grid. For the oxy-coal combustion capture technology, the energy use of ASU can be shifted between the peak-load and off-peak-load periods, which may bring more...

Mobilized thermal energy storage (M-TES) system is considered as an attractive alternative to supply heat to distributed heat users, especially when the waste heat from industries is used as a heat source. From our previous study it was known that the charging time of M-TES system was more than...

Enhancing CO2 concentration in exhaust gas has been considered as a potentially effective method to reduce the penalty of electrical efficiency caused by CO2 chemical absorption in post-combustion carbon capture systems. Supplementary firing is an option that inherently has an increased CO2...

This paper examined and assessed various configuration options about emission removal including particles, SOx and NOx in an oxy-coal combustion system for CO2 capture. A performance analysis was conducted in order to understand the impacts of those options concerning process design, process...

The exploitation of solar energy in remote areas through photovoltaic (PV) systems is an attractive solution for water pumping for irrigation systems. The design of a photovoltaic water pumping system (PVWPS) strictly depends on the estimation of the crop water requirements and land use since...

A mobilized thermal energy storage (TES) system has been proposed to recover and use industrial waste or excess heat for distributed users. In this paper, lab-scale test facilities have been built to understand the mechanisms of heat charging and discharging processes. The facilities consist of...

The knowledge about pressure–volume–temperature–composition (PVTxy) properties plays an important role in the design and operation of many processes involved in CO2 capture and storage (CCS) systems. A literature survey was conducted on both the available experimental data and the...
