The use of oxy-combustion is an attractive alternative to amine based absorption of CO2 to retrofit coal-fired power plants. The aim of this work is to compare these two carbon capture technologies taking into account environmental and economic criteria. To this end, we have developed a rigorous...

Based on the model of a typical alkaline fuel cell (AFC) with circulating potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution as electrolyte and oxygen as oxidant and the experimental data available in the current literature, thermodynamic–electrochemical analyses on the performance of the AFC are carried out,...

Traditionally, the optimal design of water distrubution networks has been dealt with using single-objective constrained approaches, where the aim is to minimize the network investment cost while maintaining minimum pressure head constraints at all nodes. However, in the last decade some authors...

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-objective approach for clearing the reactive power market. The objective functions that have been studied are the total payment function (TPF), voltage stability and the voltage deviation of the buses. All of the objective functions are transformed to membership...
