The field data from an integrated CO2 refrigeration system installed in a supermarket located north of the capital of Lisbon was analyzed. The goal was to demonstrate the effect and performance of multi-ejectors on a refrigeration system operating in a warm climate. The measurement results for the...
In this paper, five strategies for controlling the negative sequence currents of a Virtual Synchronous Machine (VSM) under unbalanced conditions are comparatively assessed, considering both grid-connected and islanded operation. While these strategies have been individually proposed in recent...
The concept of a shared mooring system, in which adjacent wind turbines are coupled by sharing mooring lines, has been proposed to reduce the mooring costs of floating offshore wind farms. This work investigates the influence of aerodynamic loads on a floating offshore wind farm of two spar wind...
Traditional assessment indexes could not fully describe offshore wind resource for the meteorological properties of offshore are more complex than onshore. And as a result, the uncertainty of offshore wind power projects would be increased and final economic benefits would be affected. Therefore, a...
Natural refrigerant CO2 has become a viable choice for refrigeration units. The CO2 systems are working efficiently on land-based facilities, and their demand is increasing for offshore applications, e.g., cruise ships and fishing vessels, due to their environment-friendly nature and compactness...
To enable offshore wind in the North Sea to take a key, rapid role in the European energy transition, massive grid expansions and investments are required. We consider the impact of such grid expansion in the North Sea on the future European power prices. To this end, we compare, using the power...
Large-scale experiments have been performed to investigate the possible consequences of realistic amounts of liquified hydrogen (LH2) encountering water. The experiments aimed at simulating an accidental release of LH2 onto water, for instance during the fuelling of a ship. For liquified natural...
We present a medium-term hydropower scheduling model that includes inflow- and volume-dependent environmental constraints on maximum discharge. A stochastic dynamic programming algorithm (SDP) is formulated to enable an accurate representation of nonconvex relationships in the problem formulation of...
Enabling cost-efficient low-carbon footprint hydrogen production is key to achieve the ambition of the Paris Agreement. This study aims to understand the techno-economic performances of hydrogen production from natural gas without and with carbon capture and storage. A hydrogen plant, based on...
One of the most important causes of insulation system failure is the breakdown of the interface between two solid dielectrics; understanding the mechanisms governing this breakdown phenomenon is therefore critical. To that end, investigating and reviewing the practical limitations of the electrical...
For vessel-based transport of liquid CO2 in carbon capture and storage chains, transport at 8 bar(a) enable significant cost reductions compared to transport at higher pressures for most transport distances and volumes. Transport at even lower pressures could further reduce the costs. There are...
