ÖKO-OPT-AKTIV - Optimised control and operating behaviour of thermally activated buildings in future urban districts
Starting point / motivation
In the efforts to make urban energy systems more environmentally friendly and at the same time more cost-efficient, a large savings potential has been demonstrated in recent decades through improved building envelopes and...
ÖKO-OPT-QUART Economically optimized control and operating behavior of complex energy networks of future city districts
Starting point/motivation
In future city districts, the focus on a reasonable combination of different, where possible renewable energy sources is increasing. However, the resulting energy networks are getting more and more complex. This increase of...
FT4Industry - FT bio refinery for industrial applications
Synopsis:
In the last 10 years R&D was focused on the utilization of FT products for the production of advanced biofuels. FT diesel and kerosene are high quality biofuels with excellent combustion behaviour, nearly no soot formation during the...
Model Based Control of Fluidized Bed Biomass Steam Gasification
Plants based on dual fluidized bed (DFB) gasification are a season- and weather-independent, sustainable and decentralized option to provide electricity, heat and gas. These DFB plants are on the verge of profitability due to high prices for raw...
Model-based control of absorption heat pumping systems
Absorption heat pumping systems (AHPS, comprising heat pumps and chillers) use thermal instead of mechanical energy as driving power and are therefore considered a promising way to increase the share of renewable energies in the heating and cooling...
MoREIntegrALBiomass - Model-based control and electrostatic precipitator integration for low-emission combustion of alternative biomass fuels
In today's biomass furnaces, problematic biomass fuels such as agricultural fuels (e.g. straw), waste wood, energy grasses as well as residues from the agricultural industry (cores, shells etc.) remain unused in many cases or can only be used in...
Waste2Value
Construction has started on a new pilot plant in Vienna, Austria, which will demonstrate the conversion of waste materials into eco-friendly and carbon-neutral fuels. At the site of a hazardous waste incineration plant in the urban area of Vienna, BEST...
