A micro combined heat and power (CHP) plant operating through an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) using renewable energy is analysed. The reference system is designed to produce 50 kWe. The heat sources of the system are geothermal energy at low temperature (80–100 °C) and solar energy. The system uses a solar field composed only by evacuated solar collectors, and work is produced by a single turbine....
Glass heat pipe solar collectors are becoming very popular for heating/sanitary water production. The use of a double glass system, with vacuum in between (Dewar scheme), allows to minimize heat dispersion to the environment, and to reach potentially temperature levels in competition with much more expensive parabolic trough concentrating solar collectors (stagnation temperatures in excess of 200°C...
The guiding idea behind oxy-fuel combustion power cycles is guaranteeing a high level of performance as can be obtained by today's advanced power plants, together with CO 2 separation in conditions ready for transport and final disposal. In order to achieve all these goals, oxy-combustion – allowing CO 2 separation by simple cooling of the combustion products – is combined with large...
In this work, a possible way for partial CO 2 emissions reduction from gas turbine exhausts by co-firing with biomass is investigated. The basic principle is the recirculation of a fraction of the exhausts (still rich in oxygen) to a gasifier, in order to produce syngas to mix with natural gas fuel. As biomass is a CO 2 neutral fuel, the fraction of replaced natural gas is a measure...
Carbon dioxide separation by means of membranes from methane reformed synthesis gas and from semi-closed cycle flue gases has been studied. In the first case, removing carbon dioxide using membrane is more energy consuming than removing it, from the same synthesis gas, using chemical absorption, leading to overall energy conversion efficiency of about 39% for the recuperated-auto thermal reforming...
Two relatively innovative gas turbine (GT) based power cycles with high CO 2 removal potential have been proposed and discussed in terms of exergy analysis. Fuel decarbonisation is applied by the means of auto thermal reforming (R-ATR) and simple reforming (R-REF), in order to convert the primary natural gas into a highly H 2 and CO 2 concentrated fuel. Thus, CO 2 is...
