…and/or a resistive electrical heater in its well-insulated hot water tank. It is trivial to shift loads by a few minutes-hours, or switch between gas heating and electrical heating depending…
…Interesting options that have crossed our screens include improving insulation, smart energy, phase change materials, heat pumps, power factor correction, absorption chillers with CHPs, and urban trees that can reduce…
…how better insulation would re-shape the cost curve for decarbonizing home heat, in favor of nature-based solutions, gas and hydrogen; but potentially away from heat pumps and other electrification technologies….
…heat. The recapture of waste heat is the largest determinant of the efficiency of a thermal power plant. Our base case model assumes that 50% of the low-pressure steam heat…
…excess renewable energy, converting it to heat, then heating up a thermal storage medium in some kind of well-insulated tank. The heat can be re-released later. Either directly, or via…
…variable frequency drives such as in heat pumps, LEDs, and energy consumed by internet and big data devices. Harmonic distortion caused by inverters are discussed on pages 9-10, including for…
…in residential heating, c10% in commercial heating, c25% in electricity generation, and smaller quantities in T&D and transportation (chart below). Gas demand is disaggregated across a dozen different industries in…
…Cp fluctuating wildly at low-intermediate temperatures. This has a strange result for heating CO2 in a heat exchanger. As energy is transferred from a hot CO2 stream to a cold…
…flame, because no heat is dissipated unnecessarily in heating up superfluous oxygen. The data-file shows that at an idealized, 100% stoichiometric ratio, the adiabatic flame temperature for natural gas is…
