Technological Innovations for Integrating Subsea Systems

As the time between initial concept and commissioning of submarine cable systems decreases, the need for automated tools and procedures to facilitate the acceleration of the route and cable engineering processes increases. Cable installers are now faced with more projects and less time to design, engineer, and install these systems. These increased demands mean that, in many cases, traditional ...

Scaling in Geothermal Heat Pump Systems

INTRODUCTION Water quality is a frequently overlooked issue in the application of geothermal heat pump (GHP) systems. When considered at all, is often viewed as a problem unique to open loop systems. In residential open loop applications water is supplied directly to the heat pump’s refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger. If the water has a tendency to be scale forming, fouling of the heat exchang...

Recent Trends in Public Sector Technological Innovations

Th is case study reports an innovative e-government experiment by a local government in Seoul, South Korea—Gangnam-gu. A new local political leadership in Gangnam made strategic use of e-government applications to exert greater political control over the local civil service bureaucracy. Th e authors fi nd that e-government applications possess political properties that can be applied eff ective...

Advanced simulation methods for heat pump systems

Within the use of renewable energies in buildings several dynamic influences and interactions have to be regarded. For example, the performance of heat pump systems depends sensitively on weather or geological effects as well as on building and user behaviour. An energetic optimization requires an intelligent coupling and control of all components of the building services installation, the buil...
