abstract = {This study aims at offering a techno-economic evaluation of closed OTEC cycles for on-shore installations. A flexible Matlabtextregistered suite has been developed to identify plant design parameters (temperature difference of cold and warm seawater, pinch-point temperature difference of evaporator and condenser etc.) that guarantee the maximum value of $gamma$ (ratio between electricity output and heat exchangers area). The optimization model is able to handle different working fluids through the addition of specific correlations that consider fluid influence on heat transfer coefficients and turbine performance. Each plant component is technically analyzed and, in particular, plate heat exchangers were considered for evaporator and condenser and sized accurately with Aspen EDRtextregistered, while expander was analyzed with the in-house code Axtur. For warm seawater temperature of 28 °C and cold seawater temperature of 4 °C (8500 kg/s taken from 1000 m depth), ammonia cycle is the best solution characterized by efficiency equal to 2.2% and net power output equal to 2.35 MWe. The obtained LCOE (269 €/MWhe) confirms how OTEC technology is not ready to compete in energy market. Nevertheless, remote zones (i.e. small islands archipelagos), which are often characterized by high electricity price, represent interesting scenarios where OTEC technology could be a promising alternative to conventional power production technologies.},

abstract = {Decarbonization of the power sector is a key step towards greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Due to the intermittent nature of major renewable sources like wind and solar, storage technologies will be critical in the future power grid to accommodate fluctuating generation. The storage systems will need to decouple supply and demand by shifting electrical energy on many different time scales (hourly, daily, and seasonally). Power-to-Gas can contribute on all of these time scales by producing hydrogen via electrolysis during times of excess electrical generation, and generating power with high-efficiency systems like fuel cells when wind and solar are not sufficiently available. Despite lower immediate round-trip efficiency compared to most battery storage systems, the combination of devices used in Power-to-Gas allows independent scaling of power and energy capacities to enable massive and long duration storage. This study develops and applies a model to simulate the power system balance at very high penetration of renewables. Novelty of the study is the assessment of hydrogen as the primary storage means for balancing energy supply and demand on a large scale: the California power system is analyzed to estimate the needs for electrolyzer and fuel cell systems in 100% renewable scenarios driven by large additions of wind and solar capacities. Results show that the transition requires a massive increase in both generation and storage installations, e.g., a combination of 94 GW of solar PV, 40 GW of wind, and 77 GW of electrolysis systems. A mix of generation technologies appears to reduce the total required capacities with respect to wind-dominated or solar-dominated cases. Hydrogen storage capacity needs are also evaluated and possible alternatives are discussed, including a comparison with battery storage systems.},

An extensive calculation of the balances of the entire power plant has been done, including the results obtained from a 1-D pseudo homogeneous model for the fixed bed reactors that compose the Ca-Cu process. Moreover, a methodology developed by the authors is here presented for calculating the cost of the electricity produced and of the CO2 avoided. This methodology has been used to perform the economic analysis of the Ca-Cu based power plant and to optimize the size of the Ca-Cu reactors and the pressure drop in critical heat exchangers. An electricity cost of 82.6 €/MWh has been obtained for the Ca-Cu based power plant, which is 2.2 €/MWh below the benchmark power plant based on an Auto Thermal Reformer with an MDEA absorption process for CO2 capture. The improved performance of the Ca-Cu based power plant in terms of electric efficiency and reduced capital cost expenditure is the reason for the reduced electricity costs. Moreover, a lower cost of CO2 avoided is also obtained for the Ca-Cu plant with respect to the benchmark (80.75 €/tCO2 vs. 85.38 €/tCO2), which features 89% of CO2 capture efficiency.},

abstract = {A technical evaluation of CO2 capture technologies when retrofitted to a cement plant is performed. The investigated technologies are the oxyfuel process, the chilled ammonia process, membrane-assisted CO2 liquefaction, and the calcium looping process with tail-end and integrated configurations. For comparison, absorption with monoethanolamine (MEA) is used as reference technology. The focus of the evaluation is on emission abatement, energy performance,and retrofitability. All the investigated technologies perform better than the reference both in terms of emission abatement and energy consumption. The equivalent CO2 avoided are 73–90%,while it is 64% for MEA, considering the average EU-28 electricity mix. The specific primary energy consumption for CO2 avoided is 1.63–4.07 MJ/kg CO2, compared to 7.08 MJ/kg CO2for MEA.The calcium looping technologies have the highest emission abatement potential, while the oxyfuel process has the best energy performance. When it comes to retrofitability, the post-combustion technologies show significant advantages compared to the oxyfuel and to the integrated calciumlooping technologies. Furthermore, the performance of the individual technologies shows strong dependencies on site-specific and plant-specific factors. Therefore, rather than identifying one single best technology, it is emphasized that CO2 capture in the cement industry should be performed with a portfolio of capture technologies, where the preferred choice for each specific plant depends on local factors.},

While the technical basis for this study is presented in Part 1 of this paper series, this work presents a comprehensive techno-economic analysis of these CO2 capture technologies based on a capital and operating costs evaluation for retrofit in a cement plant. The cost of the cement plant product, clinker, is shown to increase with 49 to 92% compared to the cost of clinker without capture. The cost of CO2 avoided is between 42 €/tCO2 (for the oxyfuel-based capture process) and 84 €/tCO2 (for the membrane-based assisted liquefaction capture process), while the reference MEA-based absorption capture technology has a cost of 80 €/tCO2. Notably, the cost figures depend strongly on factors such as steam source, electricity mix, electricity price, fuel price and plant-specific characteristics. Hence, this confirms the conclusion of the technical evaluation in Part 1 that for final selection of CO2 capture technology at a specific plant, a plant-specific techno-economic evaluation should be performed, also considering more practical considerations.},

abstract = {Chemical looping promises significant reductions in the cost of CO2 capture and storage (CCS) by enabling energy conversion with inherent separation of CO2 at almost no energy penalty. This study evaluates the economic performance of a novel power plant configuration based on the principle of packed bed chemical looping. The new configuration, called COMPOSITE, integrates packed bed chemical looping combustion (PBCLC) and chemical looping oxygen production (CLOP) into an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant. The CLOP unit achieves air separation with minimal energy penalty and the PBCLC unit achieves fuel combustion with inherent CO2 capture. The COMPOSITE configuration achieved a competitive CO2 avoidance cost (CAC) of €45.8/ton relative to conventional IGCC with pre-combustion CO2 capture with €58.4/ton. However, the improvement was minimal relative to a simpler configuration using an air separation unit (ASU) instead of the CLOP reactors, returning a CAC of €47.3/ton. The inclusion of hot gas clean-up further improved the CAC of the COMPOSITE configuration to €37.8/ton. Optimistic technology assumptions in the form of lower contingency costs and better CLOP reactor performance reduced the CAC to only €24.9/ton. Further analysis showed that these highly efficient chemical looping plants will be competitive with other low-carbon power plants (nuclear, wind and solar) in a technology-neutral climate policy framework consistent with a 2 °C global temperature rise. Economic attractiveness improves further in a high CO2 tax scenario where large-scale deployment of CO2 negative bio-CCS plants is required.},

abstract = {This work compares the part load techno-economic performance of CO2 capture from a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) using a membrane configuration with selective CO2 recycle and using monoethanolamine (MEA) solvent, under the assumption of flexible power plant dispatch. This is the first time that the techno-economic performance of CO2 capture technologies is compared assuming a flexible dispatch profile, and the assessment was done using a comprehensive, new, part load assessment approach. Analyzing the part load performance of CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technologies is relevant because of significant changes in our power systems, dramatically reducing the utilization of thermal power plants. The technical performance of the configurations with and without CCS was simulated at steady state, at operating points between maximum continuous rating (100% gas turbine loading) and minimum stable load (35% gas turbine loading). The performance at these operating points was then aggregated into weighted averages to produce single performance indicators (specific CO2 intensity, specific primary energy per tonne of CO2 avoided (SPECCA), and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE)) over the dispatch profile of the power plant. The technical performance of the MEA configuration was favorable over the membrane configuration over the whole CCGT loading range. The MEA SPECCA increased from 3.02 GJ/(t of CO2) at 100% GT loading to 3.65 GJ/(t of CO2) at 35% GT loading; the membrane SPECCA increased from 3.35 to 4.20 GJ/(t of CO2). The higher SPECCA of the membrane configuration is caused by the reduced gas turbine efficiency, due to the selective recycling of CO2 to the GT. When equal GT efficiency was assumed for combustion with normal air and with CO2 enriched air, the membranes' technical performance was comparable with that of MEA. The capital costs of the CCGT with membrane configuration were 35% higher than the CCGT with MEA configuration. That, and the 6 year replacement frequency of the membranes, led the membrane LCOE to be 10 €/(MW h) higher than the MEA LCOE, when calculated with the part load approach. The membrane LCOE was 8 €/(MW h) higher when a full load was assumed. The new part load approach proved instrumental in highlighting performance (differences) at flexible dispatch conditions and aggregating those into easy to understand performance indicators.},

abstract = {The modularity and high efficiency at small-scale make high temperature (HT) fuel cells an interesting solution for carbon capture and utilization at the distributed generation (DG) scale when coupled to appropriate use of CO2 (i.e., for industrial uses, local production of chemicals, etc.). The present work explores fully electrochemical power systems capable of producing a highly pure CO2 stream and hydrogen. In particular, the proposed system is based upon integrating a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC). The use of these HT fuel cells has already been separately applied in the past for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications. However, their combined use is yet unexplored. The reference configuration proposed envisions the direct supply of the SOFC anode outlet to a burner which, using the cathode depleted air outlet, completes the oxidation of the unconverted species. The outlet of the burner is then fed to the MCFC cathode inlet, which separates the CO2 from the stream. This layout has the significant advantage of achieving the required CO2 purity for liquefaction and long-range transportation without requiring the need of cryogenic or distillation plants. Furthermore, different configurations are considered with the final aim of increasing the carbon capture ratio (CCR) and maximizing the electrical efficiency. Moreover, the optimal power ratio between SOFC and MCFC stacks is also explored. Complete simulation results are presented, discussing the proposed plant mass and energy balances and showing the most attractive configurations from the point of view of total efficiency and CCR.

After providing a review on the composition of streams produced by coal- or gas-fired plants with post-/pre-/oxy-combustion CO2 capture, coupled with different purification technologies, the paper quantifies the influence of equations of state accuracy in designing and operating CO2 purification and compression units. A comparison is made between the results obtained from the cubic Peng-Robinson model combined with either classical vdW1f (van der Waals one fluid) mixing rules (i.e. the standard Peng-Robinson equation of state) or with recently optimized advanced mixing rules incorporating residual-excess-Helmholtz-energy (aresE,$gamma$) models (EoS/aresE,$gamma$ mixing rules). In detail, EoS/aresE,$gamma$ mixing rules combine the residual contribution of the Wilson aE,$gamma$ model and the formulation proposed by Lorentz, for the mixture co-volume term. It is shown that the improved accuracy of “PR + EoS/aresE,$gamma$ mixing rules” in the representation of vapour-liquid equilibrium properties of CCS mixtures, with respect to the standard PR EoS, may lead to the design of a halved-height stripping column for the reduction of the oxygen content in the captured CO2 stream. Moreover, the paper shows the effect of the applied thermodynamic model on the definition of the pressurization level of the captured fluid and on the computed power required for its compression.},

Steady state operation is simulated through a one-dimensional model, which combines binary adsorption with the CFB dynamics. Both single step and multi-step arrangements are investigated. Extensive sensitivity analyses are performed varying the operating conditions, in order to assess the influence of the main operational parameters. The results reveal a neat superiority of multi-step configurations over the standard one, in terms of both separation performance and efficiency. Compared to fixed-bed TSA systems, CFB TSA features a high compactness degree. However, product purity levels are limited compared to the best performing fixed-bed processes, and heat management within the system appears to be a major issue. As regards energy efficiency, CFB systems place themselves in between the most established absorption-based technologies and the fixed-bed TSA. textcopyright 2017 The Authors AIChE Journal published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 64: 1744–1759, 2018.},

A multi-node model is developed to represent the integrated energy system, including additional electrical load from plug-in electric vehicles, energy storage, and hydrogen production from excess electricity for fuel cell vehicles. Electricity supply-demand balance is solved hourly, while liquid and gaseous fuels for mobility are accounted for cumulatively over the year. The Italian system is investigated, considering different evolution scenarios up to 2030 and 2050. The simulations yield a maximum 57% share of renewable sources in the electricity mix in 2050, while biomass could account for a further 5%. Results show that the use of Power-to-Gas increases the overall share of renewable sources across the sectors. High coverage of hydrogen mobility demand by clean production (about 81%) is achieved in presence of a large installation of renewables and a substantial introduction of fuel cell vehicles. However, greenhouse gas emissions reduction does not attain the ambitious long-term targets. In the best scenario, transport approaches the 60% cut, while power sector achieves only half of the desired 95% variation, thus calling for additional measures.},

abstract = {Industry is one of the highest energy consumption sector: some facilities like steelworks, foundries, or paper mills are highly energy-intensive activities. Many countries have already implemented subsidies on energy efficiency in generation and utilisation, with the aim of decreasing overall consumption and energy intensity of gross domestic product. Meanwhile, researchers have increased interest into alternative energy systems to decrease pollution and use of fossil fuels. Hydrogen, in particular, is proposed as a clean alternative energy vector, as it can be used as energy storage mean or to replace fossil fuels, e.g. for transport. This work analyses the re-vamping of the energy generation system of a paper mill by means of reversible solid oxide cells (RSOCs). The aim is not only to increase efficiency on energy generation, but also to create a polygeneration system where hydrogen is produced. Application on a real industrial facility, based in Italy with a production capacity of 60000 t/y of paper, is analysed. First, the current energy system is studied. Then, a novel system based on RSOC is proposed. Each component of the systems (both existing and novel) is defined using operational data, technical datasheet, or models defined with thermodynamic tools. Then, the interaction between them is studied. Primary energy analysis on the novel system is performed, and saving with respect to the current configuration is evaluated. Even if the complexity of the system increases, results show that saving occurs between 2 and 6%. Hydrogen generation is assessed, comparing the RSOC integrated system with proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis, in terms of both primary energy and economics. Results exhibit significant primary energy and good economic performance on hydrogen production with the novel system proposed (hydrogen cost decreases from 10 €/kg to at least 8 €/kg).},

abstract = {This literature review deals with the well-known problem of soiling in solar plants, which it severely affects the energy yield of solar power plants. A loss of reflectivity due to soiling reduces the entire productivity of the plant by limiting the energy harvested (i.e. the incoming direct normal irradiance is not properly reflected towards the right focus). On the other hand, the costs of maintenance and cleaning of the collectors represent a significant component of the plant operational costs. Therefore, in this paper, a multi-disciplinary literature review is conducted with the aim of collecting existing models for the key processes, organising them into a ‘dust life cycle'. This cycle is divided into four steps: Generation, Deposition, Adhesion, and Removal; with emphasis on the interaction between dust particles and solar collectors' surfaces. Generation deals with the loading of atmosphere with dust particles, deposition concerns the processes that actually bring airborne dust onto the collectors' surface, adhesion and removal represent the competing forces whose balance determine which particles remains adherent on the collectors and which are detached. The intent is to provide a complete framework for the development of a future physical model for the prediction and estimation of the actual soiling of the solar collectors, which engineers can implement in order to maximize the revenues of CSP plant, pushing towards more clean and sustainable energy production technologies. textcopyright 2017 Elsevier Ltd},

abstract = {This work presents a thermodynamic analysis of the integration of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with chemical looping combustion (CLC) in natural gas power plants. The fundamental idea of the proposed process integration is to use a dual fluidized-bed CLC process to complete the oxidation of the H2-CO-rich anode exhausts from the SOFC in the CLC fuel reactor while preheating the air stream to the cathode inlet temperature in the CLC air reactor. Thus, fuel oxidation can be completed in N2-free environment without the high energy and economic costs associated to O2 production, avoiding at the same time the high temperature and high cost heat exchanger needed in conventional SOFC plants for air preheating. In the proposed configurations, the CLC plant is operated at mild conditions (atmospheric pressure and temperature in the range of 700–800 °C), already demonstrated in several pilot plants. Two different scenarios have been investigated: in the first one, the SOFC is designed for large-scale power generation (100 MWLHV of heat input), featuring a heat recovery steam cycle and CO2 capture for subsequent storage. In the second scenario, the system is designed for a small-scale plant, producing 145 kg/h of pure CO2 for industrial utilization, as a possible early market application. The main parameters affecting the plant performance, i.e. SOFC voltage (V) and S/C ratio at SOFC inlet, have been varied in a sensitivity analysis. Three different materials (Ni, Fe and Cu-based) are also compared as oxygen carriers (OCs) in the CLC unit. The integrated plant shows very high electric efficiency, exceeding 66%LHV at both small and large scale with a carbon capture ratio (CCR) of nearly 100%. It was found that, except for the cell voltage, the other operating parameters do not affect significantly the efficiency of the plant. Compared to the benchmark SOFC-based hybrid cycles using conventional CO2 capture technologies, the SOFC-CLC power plant showed an electric efficiency ∼2 percentage points higher, without requiring high temperature heat exchangers and with a simplified process configuration.},

Several design and operating parameters have been investigated through a wide sensitivity analysis, namely: adiabatic vs. cooled reactor, high gas velocity gooseneck reactor vs. low velocity downflow reactor, solid-to-gas ratio, sorbent capacity, reactor inlet temperature and solids recirculation. The effect of these design and process parameters on the CO2capture efficiency and on Calcium looping process heat consumption is assessed. The results of the calculations showed that with a proper combination of solid-to-gas ratio in the carbonator and sorbent carbonation capacity (e.g. ∼10 kg/Nm3and ∼20% respectively), carbonator CO2capture efficiencies of about 80% (i.e. total cement kiln CO2capture efficiencies higher than 90%) can be obtained in a gooseneck-type carbonator with a length compatible with industrial applications in cement kilns (∼120 to 140 m). Further experimental investigations on this reactor concept, especially about fluid-dynamic behavior and the chemical properties of raw meal as CO2sorbent, are needed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the proposed process.},

abstract = {An integrated full system to decarbonise a steelworks plant is discussed, using high temperature Ca–Cu chemical looping reactions. A H2-enriched gas is produced through sorption enhanced water-gas-shift (SEWGS) of blast furnace gas (BFG) using a CaO-based CO2 sorbent. The resulting CaCO3 is regenerated with heat from CuO reduction with N2-free steel mill off-gases. The high temperature operation allows for an effective integration of a power steam cycle that replaces the steel mill power plant. The proposed fluidised-bed process facilitates a solids segregation step to separate the O2 solid carrier from the CO2 sorbent. The CaO-rich stream separated could be used in the steelmaking process thereby removing the lime plant. Balances of a steel mill integrated with the Ca–Cu process are solved and compared with those obtained for a reference steelworks plant with post-combustion CO2 capture through amine absorption. Using exclusively steel mill off-gases in the Ca–Cu process can reduce CO2 emissions by 30%. Moreover, the H2-gas could produce about 10% of additional iron through a Direct Reduced Iron process. In contrast, by adding natural gas for CuO reduction, almost all the BFG can be decarbonised and an overall CO2 capture efficiency in the steel plant of 92% can be achieved.},

abstract = {It is currently acknowledged that thermodynamic models routinely used to model the behavior of fluids involved in CO2 capture and storage processes are not sufficiently accurate. Such a deficiency is one of the main sources of uncertainty for estimating the costs associated with these technologies and, as a direct consequence, engineers largely oversize the equipment. In order to reduce the uncertainty related to the calculation of thermodynamic properties, this work aims at providing the optimal parameters of the model Peng-Robinson + equation of state (EoS)/ares E,$gamma$-Wilson mixing rules that are currently able to accurately correlate the phase behavior of systems encountered in CCS technologies. In particular, this model is optimized in this work over the experimental vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) data of 23 binary systems, resulting from the binary combination of CO2, H2, N2, O2, Ar, CO, CH4, H2S, and H2O, for which data have been found in the literature. The paper shows that this equation of state is reliably applicable to calculate VLE properties of these binary mixtures and suggests the application of this model to represent the thermodynamics of multicomponent fluids treated by CO2 capture processes. Another outcome of this work is the conceptual framework outlined to enable the optimization of thermodynamic models based on the Maximum Likelihood Method, accounting for the correlation and joint uncertainty of model parameters.

abstract = {This paper presents the novel swing adsorption reactor cluster (SARC) for post combustion CO2 capture. The SARC concept consists of a cluster of bubbling/turbulent multistage fluidized bed reactors which dynamically cycle a solid sorbent between carbonation and regeneration. A synergistic combination of vacuum swing through a vacuum pump and temperature swing through a heat pump is employed to ensure high process efficiency. The base case SARC configuration imposed an energy penalty of 9.64%-points on a conventional coal-fired power plant, which is in line with advanced amine-based absorption processes. Sensitivity analyses showed that significant potential for further improvements (∼1.5%-points) exist through mechanisms such as an increase in the number of reactor stages, further reductions in regeneration pressure and optimization of the cycle length. Additional efficiency improvements can also be traded for increased reactor footprint. However, future sorbent material selection studies especially for this novel process hold the largest potential for further efficiency improvements. The SARC concept is well suited to retrofitting purposes due to limited integration with the steam cycle, and the simple standalone reactor design will simplify future scale-up efforts. The concept is therefore recommended for further study. textcopyright 2017 Elsevier Ltd},
