Flexible Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
The essence of combined heat and power technology, over recent decades, is to provide continuous supplies of electricity and heat. This is done at the highest levels of fuel efficiency – typically reaching around 90% – meaning that this has lower carbon emissions than grid-supplied electricity. Historically thermal power plants supplying the grid rarely had heat recovery. Compared to ...

What is "Net-Zero Cooling To Power"
Rankine Cycle and Organic Rankine Cycle Waste heat is a vast, underutilized, and sustainable source of energy that is often overlooked due to the costs involved with capturing and converting that heat into electricity. Rankine cycle (RC) systems have been used for decades to generate clean electricity from heat, however these systems are restricted to sources of high-temperature heat such as ...

Solar Energy Advantages and Disadvantages
Electricity is essential to every household. But what happens to those households in remote areas where electrification on the grid is not possible? The off grid home solar power system becomes very important in providing electricity in such homes. It is a stand-alone photovoltaic system which offers a cost-effective means of delivering a facility for lighting and appliances in the rural homes. ...

Biomass and Integration in Future Energy Systems and the Bioeconomy
Biomass was the primary source of materials and energy until the industrial revolution set off a series of major changes around two hundred years ago. In the industrialized world fossil fuels became the primary source for energy in the forms of electricity and heat and provided almost all fuels for transport. However, biomass continued to maintain an important role in the economies in both ...

Vattenfall`s Cogeneration Power Plant Reuter West - Case Study
The cogeneration power plant “Reuter West” was erected as a base load power plant in the vicinity of the existing “Reuter” plant. The two hard coal fired 300 MW units D and E were commissioned in 1987 and 1989. Today the cogeneration units supplying electricity and thermal energy are operated by Vattenfall Europe GmbH. The heart of each power plant is the boiler where the ...

CSP cost forecasts undervalue benefit to future grid balancing
CSP generation costs could drop to $77/MWh by 2025 but storage and hybrid solar plants can provide further value by following load, Jose Alfonso Nebrera, Director of Spanish engineering firm ACS SCE, said at the MENASOL 2016 conference on May 26. Global renewable energy expansion is reducing the cost of solar and wind energy while increasing grid intermittency and the need for dispatchable power ...

Is nuclear power our energy future — or a dinosaur in a death spiral?
Identical data yield drastically different conclusions about the role nuclear will play in meeting climate goals. Nuclear power is dead. Long live nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only way forward. Nuclear power is a red herring. Nuclear power is too dangerous. Nuclear power is the safest power source around. Nuclear is nothing. Nuclear is everything. It is now generally agreed that the ...

Energizing our green future
As world leaders come together at the UN General Assembly to adopt new sustainable development goals, climate change activists gear up for Climate Week in New York City and the Pope brings his message to the United Nations, a shared vision of our future is coming into clear focus. If we are to eradicate poverty, we need to tackle climate change. And since 2008, the $8.1 billion Climate ...

Saving Renewable Energy for a Rainy Day
Despite advances in renewable energy technologies, one of the largest hurdles in their widespread adoption has been their intermittent reliability. Energy is only useful if it is available as the grid demands it, which is why concerns about carbon emissions are overridden in favor of the more dependable oil, coal and gas for baseload power. In order for renewable sources such as wind and solar ...

Using biogas for combined heat and power
An integral part of the majority of anaerobic digestion facilities across the world is the CHP combined heat and power (CHP) engine. For the first time builder of a biogas plant, it is often neglected as the focus is on reducing the capital costs of the installation. However, the engine is integral to the plant, and is the key component in the production of renewable electricity, hence the ...

Nuclear power: an inevitable option for the sustainable development of the developing nations to meet the energy challenges of the 21st century
Energy is the most strategic input for sustainable development. The global energy imbalance shows that 1.6 billion people are without access to electricity, and 2.4 billion have no access to modern fuels. Current forecasts suggest an increase in global energy consumption of over 50% by 2030, 70% of which is expected to come from developing countries. The harsh realities of the energy crisis have ...
