This study investigates the impact of operational fluctuations and uncertainties on the design and expected cost of ship-based CO₂ transport. The model analysis is based on a two-stage stochastic investment model for a single-source single-sink CCS value chain with a ship-based transport system. The...

Declining equivalent inertia caused by the massive integration of converter-based technologies can increase the risk of stability problems in the future power system. Control of HVDC systems as Virtual Synchronous Machines (VSMs) for providing emulated inertia is a promising countermeasure against...

The peak load in electricity consumption is increasing among household customers, resulting in reduced utilization time of the distribution grid. Demand side flexibility can be a cost-efficient alternative to grid investments, but to achieve customers' involvement, knowledge about their willingness...

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will have to turn into a massive industry in order to play a significant role in the mitigation of anthropogenic climate change. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) directive establishes that emissions captured, transported, and stored are considered as ‘not...

The gasification kinetics of charcoals and biomass chars is complicated by several factors, including chemical and physical inhomogeneities, the presence of mineral matter, and the irregular geometry of the pore structure. Even the theoretically deduced gasification models can only provide empirical...

CO₂ refrigeration units are gaining market shares thanks to the ability to provide an energy efficient performance for industrial and commercial refrigeration applications in any climate. As with all the applications, the investment and operation costs should be kept as low as possible, to reduce...
