A conceptual system, mobilized thermal energy storage system (M-TES), was proposed for distributed heat supply. The economic evaluation that is essential to identify the key issues and provide guidelines regarding system improvement was conducted in this paper. Results show that the cost using...

Introducing CO2 capture and storage (CCS) into the power systems requires the re-investigation of the load balance for the electrical grid. For the oxy-coal combustion capture technology, the energy use of ASU can be shifted between the peak-load and off-peak-load periods, which may bring more...
