Optimal Operations and Resilient Investments in Steam Networks

François Maréchal, Laurent Gabriel Félix Alexandre Stéphane Bungener, Greta Martha Van Eetvelde

Steam is a key energy vector for industrial sites, most commonly used for process heating and cooling, cogeneration of heat and mechanical power as a motive fluid or for stripping. Steam networks are used to carry steam from producers to consumers and betw ...

A method for taking into account seasonal storage in a district energy system optimisation problem

François Maréchal, Jessen Page, Jean-Loup Sylvain Robineau

In this work, a method for taking into account seasonal storage in an energy optimisation problem is developed. A master-slave optimisation procedure is applied, in which the master optimisation is an evolutionary algorithm, while the slave optimisation is ...

Performance and Profitability Perspectives of a CO2 based District Energy Network in Geneva’s City Center

Daniel Favrat, Samuel Henchoz, Céline Weber

A new type of district energy network capable of providing simultaneously heating and cooling is being investigated. It is based on the use of CO2 as a heat transfer fluid by taking advantage of the latent heat of vaporization, to store and transfer heat a ...

Multi-Scale Modelling of a Solar Reactor for the High-Temperature Step of a Sulphur-Iodine-Based Water Splitting Cycle

Sophia Haussener

The 3-step sulphur-iodine-based thermochemical cycle for splitting water is considered. The high-temperature step consists of the evaporation, decomposition, and reduction of H2SO4 to SO2 using concentrated solar process heat. This step is followed by the ...
