As mitigating climate change becomes an increasing worldwide focus, it is vital to explore a
diverse range of technologies for reducing emissions. Heating and cooling make up a …

Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) holds great promise for storing summer heat for
winter use. It allows renewable resources to meet the seasonal heat demand without …

Nowadays, buildings consume a large amount of conventional energy sources in European
countries and subsequently they contribute significantly to fossil fuels emissions. Therefore …

The accommodation of high-penetration renewable power poses a considerable challenge
to power grids. Coal-fired combined heat and power (CHP) stations are forced to enhance …

Pit thermal energy storage (PTES) is one of the most promising and affordable thermal
storage, which is considered essential for large-scale applications of renewable energies …

To assure high quality thermal storage and high efficiency of its acquisition, thermal
stratification is often employed in domestic hot water tanks. The whole motivation of …

Heat–power decoupling is important for combined heat and power (CHP) plants because it
improves their operational flexibility. In this study, off-design and thermodynamic analysis …

A comprehensive examination of turbulent Reynolds numbers at regular, converging, and
diverging outlets may be referred to as necessary knowledge for optimizing fluid dynamics in …

This work presents an experimental study of the dynamic performance of a CO 2 water-to-
water heat pump in a domestic hot water production system. A facility was developed and …

The operational flexibility of thermal power plants is important to consume renewable energy
generation, especially in the regions where combined heat and power (CHP) units account …
