CFD Study of Wind Turbine Aerodynamics
Wind turbine is the main technology that converts wind energy to electricity. The interaction between air flow and the turbine blade are critical to the structure integrity and noise generation of the turbine. Read more
Numerical evaluation of wind around buildings
Computational Wind Engineering has been developed rapidly over the last decades. Read more
Techno-economic investigation of a Syngas – Combined Cycle Gas Turbine – Amine Capture Plant
This project will comprise a process modelling study of syngas production in conjunction with a combined cycle gas turbine with CCS using an amine capture plant. Read more
Techno-Economic Study of Power generation from Coal/Biomass with Carbon Capture and Storage
Demand for energy supply in the present global environment is continuously increasing with the growth of population and economic development. Read more
A Societal Index Model for the Assessment of the Safety, Operability and Resilience level of Regional Mini Energy Grid
The project is aimed at developing an open expert system for the end user and also for the developer to carry out the risk analysis involved in systems utilizing upcoming new energy technologies. Read more
Process Optimization of Liquid Fuel Synthesis From Renewable Energy Sources
Demand for energy supply in the present global environment is continuously increasing with the growth of population and economic development. Read more
Future electrical power generation system integration and control
With the projected increase in the contributions from renewable energy to the power generation mix in the foreseeable future, a new control strategy of power generation and supply need to be investigated to mitigate the impact of the uncertainties of renewable power sources. Read more
Modelling gas turbine based power generation system incorporating CCS technology
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an emerging near-zero emission technology that can applied to next generation gas turbine based power stations, new and retrofit, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emission to the atmosphere. Read more
Amine solvent degradation in CO2 capture
CO2 capture and storage is believed to be a promising option for controlling CO2 emissions in the short to medium term. Several methods exist for CO2 capture, with amine capture being the most promising commercial technology at the present time. Read more
Carbon capture from gas turbines
Natural gas is seen as cleaner than other fossil fuels and will continue to have an essential role in the energy mix of the future, particularly in the UK. Read more
Novel gas turbine configurations for carbon capture
Natural gas will play a significant role in the future energy mix. Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants produce around half the emissions of advanced coal-fired power plants. Read more
Integration of algal biofuel and biogas production
There is an increased international interest in the use of algae to sustainably produce liquid biofuels to meet future energy demands, however there are many technical challenges associated with this promising technology. Read more
Expert control systems for AD systems
AD is non-linear process which is notoriously difficult to control automatically and therefore has in the past relied on expert operators to maintain the performance and stability of AD sites. Read more
AD design and operating strategies for energy demand matching in the face of non-uniform feedstock availability and composition
In the urban environment at the household to institutional-scale the availability and composition of waste biomass feedstocks, suitable for biogas production, is likely to vary on a variety of timescales. Read more
Improvement of the efficiency of PEM fuel cells through the use of appropriate sealing means
Fuel cells are very strong competitors to the conventional energy conversion technologies which are responsible for the emission of the greenhouse gases. Read more
