Combined Heat and Power from Municipal Solid Waste: Current Status and Issues in South Korea by Changkook Ryu, Donghoon Shin

“…Over ten of the existing plants needed to increase their energy efficiency by installing new equipment such as steam turbines for excess steam. Finally, transboundary centralization of WtE plants between neighboring local authorities is essential for heat utilization since many existing small-scale plants (<50 t/day capacity) do not recover heat.…”

Thermal boundary layer development in dispersed flow film boiling by Hull, Lawrence M., Rohsenow, Warren M.

“…This process occurs in cryogenic equipment and wet steam turbines. It is also of interest in the analysis of a nuclear reactor loss of coolant accident and many other applications. …”

Identify and classify vibration fault based on artificial intelligence techniques by Abdul Latiff, Liza, Abu, Aminudin, Moneer, Ali Lilo

“…Steam turbines (ST) need to be protected from damaging faults in the event it ends up in a danger zone. …”

Cogeneration optimisation for locally integrated energy systems by Lee, P. Y., Liew, P. Y., Walmsley, T. G., Klemes, J. J.

“…A Power Cogeneration Estimation Table is used to systematically identify and determine the amount of power that the thermal energy system potentially generates via backpressure and condensing steam turbines. This work evaluated the thermal and power system based on total utility cost, where the thermal requirement is fulfilled by the industrial boiler system with the potential of outsourced power demands. …”

On large eddy simulation based conjugate heat transfer procedure for transient natural convection by Fadl, M, He, L

“…Natural convection is an important heat transfer mode for flexible operations of gas turbines and steam turbines. Its prediction presents considerable challenges. …”

On LES based conjugate heat transfer procedure for transient natural convection by Fadl, M, He, L

“…Natural convection prediction closely relevant to flexible operations (e.g. fast and frequent startups and showdowns) of gas turbines and steam turbines presents considerable challenges. The strong inter-dependence between fluid and solid parts points to the need for conjugate heat-transfer (CHT) methods. …”

Economic and environmental evaluation of landfill gas utilisation: A multi-period optimisation approach for low carbon regions by Ahmed, Saeed Isa, Johari, Anwar, Hashim, Haslenda, Lim, Jeng Shiun, Amin Jusoh, Mazura, Mat, Ramli, Alkali, Habib

“…The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change model outcome shows that an average annual LFG capture of 17,200 tonnes was obtained for Iskandar Malaysia and the optimal results indicate that the LFG is best utilised as a medium grade LFG for combined heat and power generation using steam turbines. The profitability evaluation shows that mean annual profit of US$5.6 million has been achieved with a payback period of 12.3 years and net present value of US$111 million, which is reasonable because the project can be classified as medium to large-scale. …”

Integration of Flow Temperatures in Unit Commitment Models of Future District Heating Systems by Cynthia Boysen, Cord Kaldemeyer, Simon Hilpert, Ilja Tuschy

“…Results indicate that lower flow temperature levels in the heating network tend to favor internal combustion engines, combined cycle power plants, and heat pumps; while back pressure steam turbines, peak loads, and electric boilers show declining operating hours. …”
