…and excess heat from the oxy-fuelled calcining reaction can demand shift to help backstop (increasingly volatile) power grids (i.e., a ‘smooth operator‘), including amidst the build out of renewables. Another…
…otherwise jagged, causing resistive losses, excess heat generation and equipment degradation. These issues are explained on pages 2-4. Case studies of harmonic distortion, and their negative consequences, are described on…
Thermoelectric devices convert heat directly into electricity, or conversely provide localized cooling/heating by absorbing electricity. This data-file screens leading companies in thermoelectrics, their product specifications, applications and underlying calculations for…
Solar semiconductors have changed the world, converting light into clean electricity. Hence can thermoelectric semiconductors follow the same path, converting heat into electricity with no moving parts? This 14-page report…
…traders, midstream companies and load-shifters (note below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/2024/01/11/energy-market-volatility-climate-change/ Heating comprises 40% of Europe’s gas demand, of which 24pp is residential, 11pp is commercial, 3pp is heat/steam sold from power plants…
…kWh/ton) and the heat use (also in kWh/ton) are also built up by surveying technical papers. The largest opex cost line in the model is labor, due to the need…
…are that higher pressures and temperatures in a vehicle engine increase the amount of wear, and raise complexity, including for circulating high-grade engine oil to remove the excess heat. Leading…
…H3PO4. Most plants generate sulfuric acid on-site from elemental sulfur, as this allows the heat of H2SO4 formation to be used within the process, lowering energy costs. This is modeled…
…has been a remarkable driver of human progress since the Industrial Revolution. Useful energy demand per global person rises from 9 MWH pp pa in 2019 to over 12 MWH…
…Pd, Ni) Acid catalyst on an alumino-silica zeolite framework. Upstream modifications. Pre-treatment processes, surge drums and heat-exchangers are installed upstream of each reactor. Downstream modifications. The output products from the…
