Towards 100% renewable islands in 2040 via generation expansion planning: The case of São Vicente, Cape Verde
(Elsevier, 2022-06-01)
In the energy transition context, islands are identified as particularly challenging regions due to their isolation, and energy dependence; while their excellent renewable resource and rapid growth makes them exceptionally ...
Free Convective Heat Transfer in a Closed Gap between Concentric Semi-Hemispheres
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
Free convective heat transfer in the closed gap between concentric semi-hemispheres is quantified by means of a numerical approach based on the volume control method using the SIMPLE algorithm. The average Nusselt number ...
A Theoretical Study of the Hydrodynamic Performance of an Asymmetric Fixed-Detached OWC Device
(MDPI, 2021-09-25)
The chamber configuration of an asymmetric, fixed-detached Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device was investigated theoretically to analyze its effects on hydrodynamic performance. Two-dimensional linear wave theory was ...
Engaging domestic users on demand response for heating cost reduction with a recommendation tool: Case study in Belgrade
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] The European Union has established a legislative framework that aims to enable consumers and businesses to take information-based decisions to save energy and money. Additionally, the increase of Distributed Energy ...
Thermodynamic Analysis of a Regenerative Brayton Cycle Using H2, CH4 and H2/CH4 Blends as Fuel
(MDPI, 2022-02-17)
Considering a simple regenerative Brayton cycle, the impact of using different fuel blends containing a variable volumetric percentage of hydrogen in methane was analysed. Due to the potential of hydrogen combustion in gas ...
Avoiding Thermal Issues During Fast Charging Starting with Proper Cell Selection Criteria
(Electrochemical Society, 2021-11-01)
[EN] Proper cell selection is determinant to optimize systems and reduce risks for new and high demanding areas such as electromobility. Thermal performance must be an indispensable selection criterion to avoid thermal ...
State-of-the-art and challenges of non-destructive techniques for in-situ radiological characterization of nuclear facilities to be dismantled
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]This paper reports on the state-of-the-art of the main non-destructive assay (NDA) techniques usually used for in-situ radiological characterization of nuclear facilities subject to a decommissioning programme. For the ...
Technology-Agnostic Assessment of Wave Energy System Capabilities
(MDPI, 2022-04-03)
Developing new wave energy technologies is risky, costly and time-consuming. The large diversity of concepts, components and evaluation criteria creates a vast design space of potentially feasible solutions. This paper ...
The solubility of helium in lead-lithium eutectic alloy
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] The helium production rates in liquid metals (Pb-Li eutectic alloy, LLE and others) Blanket Breeders (BB) are nearly mol-to-mol linked to tritium and intimately associated with the compulsory requirement of high tritium ...
Optimized monitoring techniques and data analysis development for in-situ characterization of the building envelope's real energetic behaviour
(2021-02-18)
[ES]Aunque la eficiencia energética de los edificios ha mejorado durante los últimos años, todavía se encuentra una importante "brecha de rendimiento" entre su diseño y el consumo real de energía. Esta brecha de rendimiento ...
