Photocatalytic degradation of toluene in an annular LED-based photoreactor: Effect of controlled periodic illumination, radiation profile, and process control

In this work, gas phase toluene was degraded as model contaminant in an annular LED-based photocatalytic reactor under various light irradiance and illumination modes as a means to enhance the efficiency in illumination. The effect of controlled periodic illumination was first studied by exploring the effect of the duty cycle and the period and...

Experimental and Computational Study of a Wind Powered Reverse Osmosis System

This project is based on the design of a hydraulic-wind-mill powered reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant (Freshwatermill), focusing on increasing the energy efficiency of the system. While RO membranes are generally not designed for variable operation, wind energy has a characteristic unpredictability and variability. In particular, the...

Transition of Solar Energy in Greece: A Social Cost Benefit Analysis

In the last years, the country of Greece is striving to overcome the severe financial consequences of the European debt crisis, that hindered its economic growth and downgraded the quality of life of its citizens. The difficult economic state of Greece as well as the long-existing global problem of energy resources depletion constitute the two...

Modeling the Dutch Frequency Restoration Reserve Market

With an expected growth of renewable energy sources, the amount of variable andweather-dependent energy input to the electricity system increases. This is a growing source of deviations between day-ahead forecasts and the realisation on time of delivery. On the other hand, new sources of flexibility (demand response, storage, EV, wind...
