Effect of torrefaction on physiochemical characteristics and grindability of stem wood, stump and bark
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this work, Norway spruce stem wood, stump and bark were torrefied in a bench scale tubular reactor at 225, 275 and 300 °C with two residence times (30 and 60 min). Effect of torrefaction on general properties, chemical ... -
Estimation of tank-to-wheel efficiency functions based on type approval data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The representation of tank-to-wheel efficiency is for many modelling purposes simplified to a constant value. However, the relationship between tank-to-wheel efficiency and operational properties is not necessarily constant. ... -
Estimation of tank-to-wheel efficiency functions based on type approval data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-15)The representation of tank-to-wheel efficiency is for many modelling purposes simplified to a constant value. However, the relationship between tank-to-wheel efficiency and operational properties is not necessarily constant. ... -
Global sensitivity analysis and optimal design of heat recovery ventilation for zero emission buildings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Energy-efficient building services are necessary to realise zero-emission buildings while maintaining adequate indoor environmental quality. As the share of ventilation heating needs grow in well-insulated and airtight ... -
Grid-connected cabin preheating of Electric Vehicles in cold climates – A non-flexible share of the EV energy use
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The number of EVs is increasing globally. In cold climates, it is generally recommended to use electricity from the grid to preheat the EV cabin before using the car, to extend driving ranges, to ensure comfort, and for ... -
High temperature gasification of high heating-rate chars using a flat-flame reactor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The increasing interest in gasification and oxy-fuel combustion of biomass has heightened the need for a detailed understanding of char gasification in industrially relevant environments (i.e., high temperature and ... -
How much can novel solid sorbents reduce the cost of post-combustion CO2 capture? A techno-economic investigation on the cost limits of pressure–vacuum swing adsorption
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper focuses on identifying the cost limits of two single-stage pressure–vacuum swing adsorption (PVSA) cycles for post-combustion CO2 capture if the ‘‘ideal’’ zero-cost adsorbent can be discovered. Through an ... -
Impact of energy communities on the European electricity and heating system decarbonization pathway: Comparing local and global flexibility responses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This paper investigates how the European electricity and heating system is impacted when medium-scale energy communities (ECs) are developed widely across Europe. We study the response on the capacity expansion of the ... -
Implementing flexibility into energy planning models : Soft-linking of a high- level energy planning model and a short-term operational model.
