With the coming installation of hundreds of GW of offshore wind power, penetration of the inherent power fluctuations into the electricity grid will become significant. Therefore, the use of wind farms as power reserve providers to support the regulation of the grid’s voltage and frequency through...

During toxicity testing, chemical analyses of oil and exposure media samples are needed to allow comparison of results between different tests as well as to assist with identification of the drivers and mechanisms for the toxic effects observed. However, to maximize the ability to compare results...

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential technology to mitigate global CO₂ emissions from power and industry sectors. Despite the increasing recognition of its importance to achieve the net-zero target, current CCS deployment is far behind targeted ambitions. A key reason is that CCS is...

We present a classical density functional theory (DFT) for fluid mixtures that is based on a third-order thermodynamic perturbation theory of Feynman-Hibbs-corrected Mie potentials. The DFT is developed to study the interfacial properties of hydrogen, helium, neon, deuterium, and their mixtures, i.e...

Bubbling fluidized bed combustion (BFBC) plants for combined heat and power (CHP) production have traditionally been dispatched under slow load changes. As the amount of variable renewable electricity increases in energy systems worldwide, knowledge regarding the transient capabilities of the gas...

The United Nations (UN) expectations for 2030 account for a renewable, affordable, and eco-friendly energy future. The 2030 agenda includes 17 different Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for countries worldwide. In this work, the 7th SDG: Affordable and Clean Energy, is brought into focus. For...
