Optimisation models have been extensively used for finding optimal configuration and operation of distributed energy technologies. The main objective in most of these models is to find the optimal configuration of distributed energy technologies that will meet a certain energy demand with the least cost and emissions. Local grid constraints are not considered in the optimisation of distributed energy...
Commercial buildings are large energy consumers and opportunities exist to improve the way they produce and consume electricity, heating and cooling. If energy system integration is feasible, this can lead to significant reductions in energy consumption and emissions. In this context, this work expands on an existing integrated Technology Selection and Operation (TSO) optimisation model for distributed...
In this study, biodiesel production from castor oil has been investigated. Five independent variables including; methanol to oil (M:O) molar ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature, time and stirring rate have been chosen to investigate their effect on biodiesel yield. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) via Rotatable Central Composite Design (RCCD) has been used to evaluate the influence...
This paper assesses possibilities of integration of centralised and decentralised storages in the district heating network (DHN) of Aarhus, Denmark and their operation strategy, with the objective to smooth the heat demand during peak hours (Peak-based strategy) or to reduce the operational costs of the DHN (Price-based strategy). The analysis is carried out using a dynamic plant scheduling optimisation...
