In recent years, demand response and load control automation has gained increased attention from regulators, system operators, utilities, market aggregators, and product vendors. It has become a cost-effective demand-side alternative to traditional supply-side generation technologies to balance...

A prototype of hydraulic free piston engine has been developed to achieve efficient energy conversion directly from chemical energy of fuel to hydraulic energy. In stable running condition, in order to verify the features of this kind of engine, the piston dynamics, combustion process and...

In this study, a feasibility based inexact fuzzy programming approach (FBIFP) was developed and applied to the planning of a regional electric power generation system (REPGS). As an extension of existing interval linear programming and fuzzy linear programming, FBIFP could tackle uncertainties...

The technical, environmental and economic analysis of two small scale biomass fuelled CHP applications is the subject of this study. For this analysis, the process simulation software ECLIPSE is used. Modelling and simulation have been conducted over two configurations: Organic Rankine Cycle...

Incineration has been proposed as an alternative technology to reuse animal manure by producing energy and ash fertilizers. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of incineration temperature on the physical (ash yield) and chemical (nutrient) properties of ashes for different types...
