This work introduces a generic methodology to determine the hourly average CO2eq. intensity of the electricity mix of a bidding zone. The proposed method is based on the logic of input–output models and avails the balance between electricity generation and demand. The methodology also takes into...

... A major challenge for the deployment of Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) in industry is the availability of industrial accepted solutions (CAD, FEA) and the legacy and bulk of preexisting digital information. Rather than focusing on application areas dominated by FEA, IgA should focus on novel...

Borehole failure under anisotropic stresses in a sandstone is analyzed numerically for various borehole sizes using a nonlinear elastic–plastic constitutive model for a Cosserat continuum. Borehole failure is identified as macroscopic failure of the borehole through the development of shear bands...

The development of an energy-efficient and cost-effective technology for the purification of a hydrogen rich stream to achieve a CO concentration below 10 ppm, suitable for low temperature fuel cell applications, is one of the major objectives of energy research. Here we report the sorption enhanced...

Laser beam welding (LBW) and laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW) are attractive joining methods of medium thickness (10-20 mm) plates in a single pass welding technique. Both utilize high energy process in order to achieve high penetration depth and high welding speeds offering substantial increase in...

This article explores whether and how innovation policies promote transitions to more sustainable configurations in socio-technical systems. Empirically it departs from an analysis of the bioeconomy policy strategies and instruments in four Nordic countries. The analysis highlights that while a...

This paper concerns monolithic and splitting-based iterative procedures for the coupled nonlinear thermo-poroelasticity model problem. The thermo-poroelastic model problem we consider is formulated as a three-field system of PDE’s, consisting of an energy balance equation, a mass balance equation...
