| chemical engineering plant cost index 2022: Proceedings of the International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES 2022) Peter Schossig, Peter Droege, Antonia Riemer, Martin Speer, 2023-05-25 This is an open access book.Energy storage systems are the key to the successful energy transition to full renewable energy supply and are more relevant today than ever before. They address numerous challenges of the energy transition at once: stabilise the electricity grids, support the shutdown of power plants, make regionally generated electricity available locally and compensate for fluctuations in renewable energy generation. For more than 15 years now, EUROSOLAR has dedicated the annual International Conference on Renewable Energy Storage (IRES) to this important topic. The conference, which has been organised in partnership with Messe Düsseldorf since 2015, addressed the current state of research and the social, political and legal framework conditions of energy storage technologies from 20 to 22 September 2022, as part of its exhibitions on decarbonised industries.In up to three parallel series of lectures, experts from science, practice, politics and society focused on the current state of knowledge about energy storage.In recent years, more than 4000 visitors attended Energy Storage Europe, the predecessor of Messe Düsseldorf’s decarbXpo and IRES, each year. In plenary sessions, topic-specific lecture series and discussion rounds, around 150 lectures were presented including a large poster exhibition.We look forward to welcoming you to the 17th IRES in 2023. |
| chemical engineering plant cost index 2022: Cost Engineering for Pollution Prevention and Control Paul Mac Berthouex, Linfield C. Brown, 2021-05-13 Environmental engineers work to increase the level of health and happiness in the world by designing, building, and operating processes and systems for water treatment, water pollution control, air pollution control, and solid waste management. These projects compete for resources with projects in medicine, transportation, education, and other fields that have a similar objective. The challenge is to make the investments efficient – to get the best project outputs with a minimum of inputs. Cost Engineering for Pollution Prevention and Control examines how to identify the best solution by judging alternatives with respect to some measure of system performance, such as total capital cost, annual cost, annual net profit, return on investment, cost-benefit ratio, net present worth, minimum production time, maximum production rate, minimum energy utilization, and so on. Key Features: Explains how to estimate preliminary costs, how to compare the life cycle costs of alternative projects, how to find the optimal balance between capital costs and operating costs. Emphasis is placed on formulating the problem rather than on the mathematical details of how the calculations are done. Provides numerous practical examples and case studies. Includes end-of-chapter exercises dealing with water, wastewater, air pollution, solid wastes, and remediation projects. The important concepts presented in this book can be understood by those students who have taken an introductory course in environmental engineering. Advanced knowledge of process design is not required. The material can also be utilized by engineers, managers, and others who would benefit from a better understanding of how engineers look at problems. |

| chemical engineering plant cost index 2022: Untersuchung und Bewertung von Eis-Energiespeichersystemen für die Versorgung von Nichtwohngebäuden Marco Griesbach, 2024-09-10 Heutige Gebäude tragen erheblich zum Energieverbrauch und zu CO textsubscript2-Emissionen bei. Hierbei spielen auch Nichtwohngebäude (NWG), also Bürogebäude, Schulen und Hochschulen, Krankenhäuser, Rechenzentren und viele weitere Arten, eine wichtige Rolle. Häufig sollen dort sowohl Wärme wie auch Kälte bereitgestellt werden, wobei der jeweilige zeitliche Bedarf im Tages-, Wochen- und Jahresverlauf je nach Gebäudeart und Nutzungsweise sehr unterschiedlich sein kann. Auch möchte man vorhandene Abwärme möglichst effizient nutzen, selbst wenn diese eine vergleichsweise niedrige Temperatur hat. Ein aussichtsreiches Konzept für NWG besteht darin, Wärmepumpen und Eisspeicher zu einem System zu kombinieren. Allerdings liegen bisher hierzu kaum Erfahrungen und belastbare Betriebsdaten vor, um zuverlässig einschätzen zu können, in welchen Fällen und in welchem Maße ein solches System ökonomisch und ökologisch vorteilhaft sein kann und wie man dieses optimal dimensionieren und führen sollte. Der Autor hat das Konzept an einem konkreten Gebäude genauer untersucht und allgemeinere, auf andere Gebäudetypen übertragbare Erkenntnisse gewonnen. Seine Vorgehensweise und Forschungsergebnisse stellt er in diesem Band vor. |

| chemical engineering plant cost index 2022: Optimization for Energy Systems and Supply Chains Viknesh Andiappan, Denny K S Ng, Santanu Bandyopadhyay, 2022-12-08 To curb the impacts of rising CO2 emissions, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report states that a net zero target needs to be achieved by the year 2055. Experts argue that this is a critical time to make important and accurate decisions. Thus, it is essential to have the right tools to efficiently plan and deploy future energy systems and supply chains. Mathematical models can provide decision-makers with the tools required to make well-informed decisions relating to development of energy systems and supply chains. This book provides an understanding of the various available energy systems, the basics behind mathematical models, the steps required to develop mathematical models, and examples/case studies where such models are applied. Divided into two parts, one covering basics for beginners and the other featuring contributed chapters offering illustrative examples, this book: Shows how mathematical models are applied to solve problems in energy systems and supply chains Provides fundamentals of the working principles of various energy systems and their technologies Offers basics of how to formulate and best practices for developing mathematical models, topics not covered in other titles Features a wide range of case studies Teaches readers to develop their own mathematical models to make decisions on energy systems This book is aimed at chemical, process, mechanical, and energy engineers. |
