Abstract: Conventional centralized power generation is increasingly transforming into a more distributed structure. The periodic power production that is created by the renewable production unit generates the need for small-scale ...

Abstract: Conventional implementation of slider-crank mechanisms result in high loads transmitted through the mechanical structure, inhibiting the design of compact and oil-free machines. Therefore, this research proposes to step ...

Abstract: The growing share of wind and solar power in the total energy mix has caused severe problems in balancing the electrical power production. Consequently, in the future, all fossil fuel-based electricity generation will need ...

Abstract: Cycle humidification applied to micro gas turbines (mGTs) offers a solution to overcome their limited operational flexibility in terms of variable electrical and thermal power production when used in a combined heat and ...

Abstract: Micro gas turbines (mGT) have not yet succeeded in conquering the small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) market. One reason is that their electrical efficiency is not high enough to maintain a cost-effective operation. ...

Abstract: Micro gas turbines (mGTs) offer several advantages for small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) production compared to their main competitors, the internal combustion engines (ICEs), such as low vibration level, cleaner ...

Abstract: With the current shift from centralized to more decentralized power production, new opportunities arise for small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) production units like micro gas turbines (mGTs). However, to fully embrace ...
