The distributed energy system utilizes cleaning waste of a fish processing plant to produce biodiesel. The biodiesel is used to produce the locally needed cooling/freezing and heating energy. In addition, a power surplus is generated for the electricity network or local industrial use. The research contribution focuses on optimisation, simulation, validation and planning of piloted concepts. A energy integration auditing and optimisation tools are being developed to carry out feasibility studies for the fishery industry. The advanced CO2 based freezing/cooling system requires optimization and control system planning of special high-pressure equipments. The final biodiesel will be tested in appropriate engines. With a view to marketing possibilities the demonstration will take place in Vietnam. In the demonstration case, the main product of the fish processing plant is catfish filet (about 40 t/d). The fat content of 22 per cent in the fish cleaning waste results in a production of biodiesel of about 13 t/d. A part of the biodiesel is used to produce electricity for the locally needed cooling/freezing (0.3 MW) and heating (1,3 MW) energy. In addition, a power surplus (0,8 MW) is generated for the local industrial use. Fish farming and processing plants in Vietnam produce frozen fish fillet with capacity from some tonnes per day to dozens tonnes/day. One third of fresh fish is yielded as fillet and the rest of fish is treated as fish cleaning wastes. There are some alternatives for utilisation of fish cleaning wastes, one of them is biodiesel and energy production at the own factory. The energy demand at the fish processing factory is dominated by cooling and freezing facilities. 80 % of electricity consumed at the factory is supplied for cooling/freezing compressors, and the cold energy of low temperatures is needed in freezing and cold storage facilities of fillet. Cooling energy of about zero degrees is needed for space cooling of production halls. The specific electricity consumption is about 400 kWh per tonne fresh fish, or 1400 kWh per tonne fish fillet. The electricity load is typically very steady over a day and a year in the Vietnamese conditions. From the energy viewpoint the fish processing plant is energy self-sufficient, when the fish waste oil is processed in a biodiesel processor and further converted to electricity. In addition to this, a part of biodiesel can be sold to the fuel market. The fish processing factory producing fish fillet of 40 ton/day consumes electricity average at a power of 2 MW. 11 ton/day biodiesel is needed for that power production and a surplus biodiesel of 2 ton/day is available for fuel market. At the same time, diesel engine plant generates heat energy at a capacity of 2,6 MW, which is also available. The other end in possibilities of poly-generation is to generate all biodiese","PeriodicalId":272782,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Development: Issues and Strategies (ESD 2010)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114965812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This experimental work has been carried out in two different drying bed configurations: rectangular bed and rectangular bed with wavy surface (called “wavy surface bed”). The wavy surface bed is used to produce a stronger turbulence flow inside. For each run of both beds, inlet hot air at 80°C is used for drying peppercorns with initial moisture content at about 82.5% w.b. The inlet air velocity is adjusted to be 1.0Umf, 1.1Umf and 1.3Umf (Umf= minimum fluidization velocity of peppercorns) as desired. Drying time and weight of peppercorns are measured in 5 minute intervals for 120 minutes for each run. The experimental results show that in the rectangular bed, the peppercorns show low oscillating and it becomes dense bed. This causes low heat transfer rate between peppercorns and hot air leading to slower mass transfer of moisture in the peppercorns. In the wavy surface bed, the peppercorns has high fluctuations due to unsymmetrical flow in the bed creating a sustainable oscillating flow with stronger turbulence of hot air and it causes dilute bed, resulting in higher heat and mass transfer in peppercorns. Closer examination reveals that for a similar operating condition, the rectangular wavy surface bed performs better than the rectangular bed.","PeriodicalId":272782,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Development: Issues and Strategies (ESD 2010)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130795509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parameters under investigation were turbine inlet temperature, turbine inlet pressure, condenser exit temperature, turbine exit quality, overall irrversibility, and system efficiency. Results indicate that wet fluids with very steep saturated vapor curves in T-s diagram have a better overall performance in energy conversion efficiencies than that of dry fluids. It can also be shown that all the working fluids have a similar behavior of the efficiency-condenser exit temperature relationship.

The analytical results show that T-5 fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast can reduce the LCC of fluorescent lamps up to 3,177, 3,948, 3,619 and 3,382 for residential customers, small general service customers, medium general service customers and large general service customers, respectively. In addition, the LCC of T-5 fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast are less than the LCC of T-8 fluorescent lamps with standard ballast, the LCC of T-8 fluorescent lamps with low-loss ballast, and the LCC of T-8 fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast by 20%, 15% and 9% for small general service customer. According to the information from department of demand side management, EGAT (Electricity Generation Authority of Thailand), 200 million of T-5 fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast can decrease the peak demand up to 2,000 MW and 5 million tons of CO2 emission.

The rectangular winglet pairs are considered with two different arrangements by pointing upstream (PU) and pointing downstream (PD) of the flow. Ten pairs of the WVGs with various attack angles (α) of 60°, 45° and 30° are mounted on the test duct entrance wall to create longitudinal vortex flows over the tested channel. Measurements are carried out for the rectangular channel air heater of aspect ratio, AR = 10 and height, H = 30 mm with the WVG height, b/H = 0.4 and a transverse pitch ratio, P/H = 1. The flow rate is in terms of Reynolds numbers based on the inlet hydraulic diameter of the channel ranging from 5000 to 23,000. The experimental results show that the solar air heater channel with rectangular WVG provides significantly higher heat transfer rate and friction loss than the smooth wall channel. The use of larger attack angle value leads to higher heat transfer rate and friction loss than that of lower one. The PD-WVGs performs higher heat transfer rate and friction loss than the PU one for similar operating conditions. In comparison, the largest attack angle (α = 60°) of the PD-WVGs yields the highest increase in Nusselt number and friction factor while the lowest attack angle (α = 30°) of the PU-WVGs shows the best thermal performance.","PeriodicalId":272782,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Development: Issues and Strategies (ESD 2010)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132389635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
