Heating without the hot air: Principles for smart heat electrificationLeonardo ENERGY
Heating in buildings is responsible for almost a third of total EU energy demand. And most of that heat is met by burning fossil fuels. In order to decarbonise heating, electrification is seen by many as a key strategy. The transformative challenge of the electrification of heating should not be underestimated. It will require strategic, ongoing policy and governance support. It requires a well-coordinated approach that cuts across several areas — buildings, individual and district heating systems, the power sector and existing heating fuel supply infrastructure. In this webinar, Dr. Jan Rosenow and Dr. Richard Lowes present pragmatic principles and policies for smart electrification of heating in Europe.
The webinar will be based on a recent RAP report which can be freely downloaded at https://www.raponline.org/knowledge-center/heating-without-hot-air-principles-smart-heat-electrification/

AURES II has collected data comprising the design elements, as well as the awarded auction prices and realisation rates in a single database based on the renewable energy auctions implemented in the EU. Based on this, our project aims to gain new quantitative insights on how design elements influence auction performance.
This webinar will present the Auction Database and a first, holistic overview of the design elements used in the various countries of the EU.
Presentation the future of bioenergy in urban energy systemsLeonardo ENERGY
The future urban energy systems can move to directions in which bioenergy will play a key role, for example as fuel for space heating, for (back-up) electricity generation, and for mobility (biofuels). A competitive deployment of bioenergy requires sufficient availability of biomass and acceptable costs. As result of the uncertainty in the price developments of bioenergy, the view on the future is uncertain as well. Also in the recent study "Urban electrification - impact of electrification of urban infrastructure on costs and carbon footprint" results were strongly dependent on assumptions on the availability and costs for bioenergy.
In this interactive workshop, we sketched the landscape of bioenergy in relation to the urban energy system and develop a joint view on bioenergy availability and cost. The workshop covered the following aspects:
* Which types of bioenergy carriers are most suitable in the urban energy system?
* What could be the availability of those bioenergy carriers?
* What would be typical costs per type of resource and what are the drivers and uncertainties?
* What is the role of policy in the cost development of bioenergy and how can the cost gap be bridged?

Urban Data Platforms are at the core of the digital transformation and the basis for data-driven solutions addressing the challenges of today’s cities and communities. An Urban Data Platform exploits modern digital technologies to bring together and integrate data flows within and across city systems and make data (re)sources accessible to participants in the cities’ ecosystem. The easy sharing of city data between city services, organizations, companies, and citizens provides many positive outcomes for society:
• can help streamline urban mobility systems
• deliver improved health and well-being outcomes
• reduce energy consumption and support the use of local low-carbon energy
• connecting city assets to enable more joined-up multi-purpose services and infrastructures

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
