In this study, an energy and exergy analysis of the Derna steam power plant in Libya is presented. This study aims to identify the components with high energy and exergy losses which are leading to a decrease in the performance of the power plant. The largest place losses can be figured out hence to subsequently ensure where the greatest margin for ...

Exergy analysis and optimisation of a hybrid solar-geothermal power plant
The present study aims at the energy, exergetic, exergoeconomic, exergoenvironmental analysis of a hybrid solar-geothermal power plant. In addition, the emergy-based approach based on exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental analysis has been performed ...

Exergy destruction calculation and analysis for a Coal drying system
Abstract A coal drying system was modelled and the calculation methodology was developed to calculate the system. Then the system performance was obtained and the exergy destruction and loss in the system is 70.5 kW. The reasons of exergy destruction were tried to be explained from the perspective of energy grade.

ABSTRACT Sustainability represents a complex issue in which scientific knowledge inevitably coexists with the subjective perception of humans in its turn influenced by civilization, cultural but also unconscious aspects. These results emerge with evidence from a critical analysis of the main definitions of sustainability delivered by credited entities (

Exergy Analysis of Fluidized Desiccant Cooling System
One of the main challenges in the design and implementation of fluidized desiccant cooling (FDC) systems is increasing their low COP (coefficient of performance). Exergy analysis is one of the tools especially suitable for improvement and optimization of

Secure Enough? Sufficiency and Security in the New Geological and Geopolitical Reality
ABSTRACT This article advances sufficiency theorizing by examining its relationship with security in the contemporary geopolitical context. It engages three contextually situated discourses: sustainable development, ecological civilization, and degrowth, to explore how concerns over ecological limits intersect with emerging geopolitical and security ...

ABSTRACT This study presents a unified thermodynamic and exergy‐based assessment of autonomous fuel cell energy systems operating on biogas with varying compositions. Two alternative configurations—a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)‐based system and a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)‐based system—were evaluated using a common balance‐of‐plant ...
