Coupling the heating and power sectors: The role of centralised combined heat and power plants and district heat in a European decarbonised power system

This work examines the role of centralised cogeneration plants as one of the potential pathways of a future decarbonised energy system. Even in this context, thermal power plants will still exist and the utilisation of their excess heat via district …

Combined cooling heating and power systems in greenhouses. Grassroots and retrofit design

Modern greenhouses are good candidates for combined cooling, heating and power generation (CCHP) systems. An analytical framework to assess the affordability of such systems for two different problems, is proposed; (a) the grassroots problem, i.e. …
