“…The effects of hybridization of products or technologies are also considered in Cluster 9. The trigeneration, i.e., combined cooling, heating, and power, can become an effective renovating option for a thermal power plant (Erdem et al, 2015) or CHP with biomass (Karhunen et al, 2015). The combination of renewables and fossil fuel can be applicable in a smart energy system such as a hybrid renewable ground source heat pump and natural gas fueled fuel cell in microgeneration systems serving residential and small office buildings .…”

The design of energy systems has become an issue of worldwide interest. A single optimal energy system cannot be suggested because the availability of infrastructure and resources, and the acceptability of the system should be discussed locally with the involvement of all related stakeholders. A simulation-based approach is strongly needed for such a purpose. In this paper, the current major trends are reviewed on research activities related to smart energy systems. First, a bibliometric analysis of academic papers was conducted with the aim of visualizing clusters that indicate the hot topics attributable to smart energy systems. Considering the extracted research topics and representative references that are the core of each cluster, possible simulation-based approaches for the design of smart energy system are schematically structured on the basis of social, economic, and technological aspects. Through this study, the framework needed for the design of smart energy systems is characterized with simulation-based socioeconomic and technological analyses.

Experimental Evaluation of a Diesel Cogeneration System for Producing Power and Drying Aromatic Herbs

et al. 2019

The focus of this work was to evaluate the thermal performance of a cogeneration system used to produce power and dry aromatic herbs. The waste heat from the exhaust gases of the diesel engine was recovered to heat air using a thermosyphon heat exchanger. The heated air was employed in a convective tray dryer in order to dry Origanum vulgare, Mentha spicata, and Ocimum basilicum. The experiments were carried out at full load in a stationary compression ignition engine coupled to a generator. The maximum global energy efficiency of the cogeneration system was 40.14%, and the effectiveness of the heat exchanger achieved 39%.

“…Thus, most sustainable DC system analyses in Table 1 have incorporated a combination of both vapor compression and either single-effect [23,[26][27][28]36,40] or double-effect absorption cooling [6,31,37,41,43]. DC investigations in which vapor compression was the sole cooling technology [21,24,25,34,35] are generally earlier efforts [21,24,25], while DC studies focusing on absorption cooling are recent efforts [29,30,33,42]. Absorption-based and alternative developing air-conditioning technologies with potential for renewable or waste heat use, and/or operation in high ambient temperature/humidity conditions, are identified and discussed in the following paragraphs.…”

“…Other studies in heating-dominated regions have also investigated the performance of cooling production at district level (together with heating production), by using waste heat from either existing thermal power plants (e.g., coal-fired power plants [29]) or coal-/oil-fired co-generation plants or boilers [23,26] during the hot season. Finally, Colmenar-Santos et al [72] assessed the cost of converting European thermal electricity production plants to co-generation plants for electricity/heat-driven district heating and cooling.…”

A review of current and future district cooling (DC) technologies, operational, economic, and environmental aspects, and analysis and optimization methodologies is presented, focusing on the demands of cooling-dominated regions. Sustainable energy sources (i.e., renewable, waste/excess electricity and heat, natural/artificial cold) and cooling/storage technology options with emphasis on heat-driven refrigeration, and their integrations in published DC design and analysis studies are reviewed. Published DC system analysis, modeling, and optimization methodologies are analyzed in terms of their objectives, scope, sustainability-related criteria, and key findings. The current and future development of DC in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, a major developing cooling-dominated market, is examined more specifically in terms of current and future energy sources and their use, and economic, environmental, and regulatory aspects, with potential technical and non-technical solutions identified to address regional DC sustainability challenges. From the review of published DC design and analysis studies presented, collective research trends in key thematic areas are analyzed, with suggested future research themes proposed towards the sustainability enhancement of DC systems in predominantly hot climates.
