In this study, a multi-objective optimization approach is applied to the energy system design of the Albano university campus in Stockholm. The greenhouse gas emissions, the life cycle cost and the net exergy deficit of the campus are minimized, while the nearly zero energy requirements are respected. Four optimal solutions are identified based on those under equal importance, environment-oriented, economy-oriented, and exergy-oriented scenarios. The energy components of the four scenarios are analyzed and compared. A parametric analysis is conducted to investigate the impact of the variations in a number of economic, environmental and technical parameters on the composition of the optimal solution.

Modeling and simulations of a micro solar power system
Pehlivanturk, Can; Ozkan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (Wiley, 2014-07-01)
In this paper, the mathematical modeling and simulations of a concentrating solar power system located at the Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus are presented. The system consists of parabolic trough collectors (PTCs), a propane boiler, an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), and a wet cooling tower. Presently, the PTC field is severely undersized with respect to the ORC making the system impossible to operate without burning significant propane. Expanding the solar field could result in better...
Thermodynamic and thermoeconomic comparison of combined cycle cogeneration systems
Colpan, Can O.; Yesin, Tulay (2006-01-01)
In this paper, several configurations of combined cycle cogeneration systems are investigated by energy, exergy and thermoeconomic analyses. In each of these configurations, varying steam demand is considered rather than fixed steam demand. Among the different approaches for thermoeconomic analysis in the literature, the specific exergy costing method is applied. Since the systems have more than one product (process steam and electrical power), systems are divided into several sub-systems and cost balances ...
Composite index for benchmarking local energy systems of Mediterranean port cities
Kılkış, Şiir (2015-12-01)
Benchmarking the performance of local energy systems requires an integrated approach. This paper develops a composite index that consists of a unique set of 7 dimensions and 35 main indicators. The SDEWES (Sustainable Development of Energy, Water, and Environment Systems) Index is applied to a sample of 22 Mediterranean port cities. The index integrates energy and CO2 emissions data from SEAP (Sustainable Energy Action Plans). The values of the indicators are aggregated based on the Min-Max method for a fin...
Parallel linear solution of large structures on heterogeneous PC clusters
Kurç, Özgür (2006-12-01)
In this paper, a parallel solution framework for the linear static analysis of large structures on heterogeneous PC clusters is presented. The framework consists of two main steps; data preparation and parallel solution. The parallel solution is performed by a substructure based method with direct solvers. The aim of the data preparation step is to create the best possible substructures so that the condensation times of substructures are balanced. Examples which illustrate the applicability and the efficien...
Energy Benchmarking Method for Urban Settlements
Tereci, Ayşegül; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2012)
The aim of this study was developing an energy benchmarking method for urban quarters in order to design or manage the energy efficiently at urban scale. Rational implementation of energy efficiency strategies for the urban settlements can be possible with the comprehensive building stock models which have the ability to estimate and evaluate the energy demand of the building stock together with surrounding urban structures. The research initially focused to determine the factors which have an influence on ...
