A gasification plant may partially replace an industrial thermal and hydrogen production by polygenerating valuable products (hydrogen, power, steam) from low-value materials. Carbon energy analysis is one way of conceptually evaluating such processes. In this paper, the integration a heavy residue (HR) into mid-size oil refinery (5 million t per year crude processing rate) assessed via compari...

Integrated solar-assisted polygeneration systems have emerged as an effective and sustainable alternative for meeting thermal, power freshwater demands through decentralized generation. In this framework, study introduces a new design dynamic simulation approach to solar energy-driven system integrating gas steam turbine cycles, organic Rankine cycle (ORC), CO2 capture, humidification-dehumidif...

Microgrids (MGs) may represent a solution in the near future to many problems in the energy and electric world scenarios; such as pollution, high reliability, efficiency and so on. In particular, MGs’ capability to work in an islanded configuration represents one of their most interesting features in terms of the improvement of the reliability of the system, the integration of renewable energy ...

Sudden change on earth’s climate, which is a result of an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere, is mainly caused by burning of fossil fuels for various energy services. However, for the energy services to be favourable to the environment, there should be a balance with the environmental protection, and we can call that “Sustainable Innovative Development”. “EXPLORE Polygeneration” initiative will ...

As reported in the “Clean energy for all Europeans package” set by EU, a sustainable transition from fossil fuels towards cleaner is necessary to improve quality of life citizens and livability cities. The exploitation renewable sources, improvement performance buildings need cutting-edge national climate plans represent important urgent topics be faced order implement sustainability concept ur...

Genetics Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has been shown in both clinical and genetic studies to have a genetic component to its aetiology,1-8 although the pattern of inheritance still remains elusive; X-linked dominant,3 autosomal dominant or multifactorial patterns1,2,7 have all been suggested. Genealogy work with a cohort of 145 patients with AIS demonstrated a 97% connectedness to othe...
