The case study focuses on taking a representative sample of retail buildings and assesses the financial viability of installing low-carbon Combined Heat and Power units (CHPs) and Photovoltaic Solar Panels (PVs) across a portfolio of buildings. Simulation of each building are initially conducted, and the results generate a set of regression coefficients, via a multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), which are inputted into a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. Solving the MILP yields the optimal decarbonisation investment strategy for the case study up to 2050, considering market trends such as electricity prices, gas prices and policy incentives. Results indicate the level of investment required per year, the operational and carbon savings associated, and a program for such investments. This method is reiterated for several scenarios where different parameters such as utility prices, capital costs and grid carbon factors are forecasted up to 2050 (following the Future Energy Scenarios from National Grid). This work shows how a clear mathematical framework can assist decision-makers in commercial organisations to reduce their carbon footprint cost-effectively and thus reach science-based targets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11517,"journal":{"name":"Energy Procedia","volume":"161 ","pages":"Pages 333-342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.egypro.2019.02.107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78731733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To account for this, the relationship between the flow properties (i.e. fundamental derivative) and the local geometry (i.e. cross-sectional area of the nozzle) has been discussed theoretically. To examine it analytically, the study has considered the influence of real gas properties on the performance of a vaned diffuser using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling. The selected compressor stage geometry is similar to the compressor impeller tested in the Sandia sCO<sub>2</sub> compression loop facility. The effect of changes in the number of blades and the corresponding changes in the cross throat area on the flow properties such as density and speed of sound were investigated and discussed.

Decentralised manufacturing, based on local production at small scale, has risen recently as an alternative that could provide flexibility to the food supply chain. In this work we present a modelling tool for the design, evaluation and comparison of food manufacturing processes that considers economic, environmental and social factors. The proposed method can be applied to a wide range of food products and is illustrated here using cereal porridge and sandwich bread production. We have assessed and compared three decentralised scenarios: “Home Manufacturing” (HM), “Food Incubator” (FI) and “Distributed Manufacturing” (DM) to centralised production –i.e. Single Plant (SP) and Multi Plant (MP) scenarios. Based on UK demand, SP is the most energy efficient and cheapest scenario in both cases, closely followed by HM and FI in cereal porridge production. DM could compete with SP assuming low management costs and savings on transportation/storage along the supply chain. For the case study on bread, the shorter margin of profit per unit makes decentralised scenarios less advantageous.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11517,"journal":{"name":"Energy Procedia","volume":"161 ","pages":"Pages 182-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.egypro.2019.02.080","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82287664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
