A data-driven model for the air-cooling condenser of large-scale coal-fired power plants based on data reconciliation and support vector regression

François Maréchal, Ligang Wang, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Jean-Loup Sylvain Robineau

The performance of a direct air-cooling condenser under operation is rather complicated, as it is interactively affected by the operating conditions (e.g., the mode of air fans) and ambient conditions (e.g., temperature and wind speed). To understand the c ...

Cutting the cost of carbon capture: a case for carbon capture and utilization

Berend Smit

A significant part of the cost for carbon capture and storage ( CCS) is related to the compression of captured CO2 to its supercritical state, at 150 bar and typically 99% purity. These stringent conditions may however not always be necessary for specific ...
