One of the trends of thermodynamics during the last thirty years has been development of powerful techniques which can optimize complex energy systems taking into account economic factors. These are called methods of thermoeconomic optimization. This paper presents basics of the established methods of thermoeconomics and some of the recent developments. Furthermore application of direct (by differentiation) optimization method to the known irreversible Carnot engine model and the results of this optimization are given, that clarifies the role of the basic thermoeconomic parameters.

A METHOD FOR TECHNICAL ECONOMIC-ANALYSIS OF SOLAR HEATING-SYSTEMS TASDEMIROGLU, E; ARINC, F (Elsevier BV, 1988-01-01) The necessity for technical-economic analysis of solar energy systems is obvious when assessing their feasibility vis-á-vis conventional alternative systems. Optimum magnitudes of the installation parameters should be defined under the required economic conditions. In this study, the optimization procedure was chosen so as to maximize the total accumulated saving throughout the economic lifetime of the system. The annual solar heating fraction of the system is assessed using the f-chart method which can be ...
An investigation of optimum PV and wind energy system capacities for alternate short and long-term energy storage sizing methodologies Al-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (Wiley, 2019-01-01) The goal of this study is to find the optimal sizes of renewable energy systems (RES) based on photovoltaic (PV) and/or wind systems for three energy storage system (ESS) scenarios in a micro-grid; (1) with pumped hydro storage (PHS) as a long-term ESS, (2) with batteries as a short-term ESS, and (3) without ESS. The PV and wind sizes are optimally determined to accomplish the maximum annual RES fraction (F-RES) with electricity cost lower than or equal to the utility tariff. Furthermore, the effect of the ...
Electrochemical performance and modeling of lithium-sulfur batteries with varying carbon to sulfur ratios Michaelis, Charles; Erisen, Nisa; PALA, DAMLA EROĞLU; Koenig, Gary M. (Wiley, 2019-02-01) Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted much research interest because of their high theoretical energy density and low-cost raw materials. While the electrodes are composed of readily available materials, the processes that occur within the cell are complex, and the electrochemical performance of these batteries is very sensitive to a number of cell processing parameters. Herein, a simple electrochemical model will be used to predict, with quantitative agreement, the electrochemical properties of lithium-s...
A review of the optimization studies for Savonius turbine considering hydrokinetic applications Maldar, Nauman Riyaz; Ng, Cheng Yee; Oğuz, Elif (Elsevier BV, 2020-12-15) © 2020 Elsevier LtdThe trend of utilizing renewable energy sources is witnessing a brisk growth around the world. Among the various sources of renewable energy, hydropower is considered the most favorable due to its high potential and distinct advantages such as predictability, high energy density etc. Moreover, to extract the hydrokinetic energy from flowing streams, different designs of hydrokinetic turbines have emerged which operate on a similar principle as the wind turbines. The Savonius turbine is a ...
The potential and economic viability of solar photovoltaic power in Ghana Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01) In this study, the potentiality and economic viability of solar photovoltaic (PV) in Ghana was assessed using RETScreen software. 5 MW of grid-connected solar PV power system using SunPower SPR-320E-WHT-D PV module can be harnessed from Navrongo, Bawku, Wa, Tema, Bolgatanga, Axim, Salaga, Kintampo, Kete Krachi, Tamale, Hohoe, Koforidua, Ejura, Takoradi, Bole, Sunyani, Bibiani, Cape coast, Prestea, and Akuse, which requires US$17,752,179 of investment capital and 25,313 m(2) of land for PV installation. The ...
