A multi-objective optimization and multi-attribute decision-making analysis for technical-thermodynamic-economic evaluation considering the rock damage on production performance of hot dry rock geothermal resources

In the long-term mining of geothermal resources in hot dry rock (HDR), the change of thermal stress and pore pressure will increase fracture conductivity evolution, further improving production performance. The optimization and decision-making of the development scheme based on the impact of damage from fractures have yet to be reported. The...

Modeling rock damage during the long-term production process for hot dry rocks: Effects of additional conductivity on the production performance and economic efficiency

Hot dry rocks (HDRs), as an essential renewable energy source, its development has received widespread attention, especially for heat extraction. The fracture is the main seepage and heat transfer channel of circulating fluid in dense HDR reservoirs, and its conductivity evolution significantly affects the production performance. Most...

Entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance: the mediating role of functional performances

Purpose: Earlier studies have generally shown a positive relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and the overall performance of the firm. The purpose of this paper is to understand in more detail how EO influences firm performance. It adds to the literature by distinguishing performances of different functions in a firm and by...

Design Features of Product-Integrated PV: An Evaluation of Various Factors under Indoor Irradiance Conditions

This thesis explores the field of product-integrated photovoltaics (PIPV), a term which is used for all types of products that contain solar cells in one or more of their surfaces, aiming at providing power during the product’s use. Product-integrated photovoltaics (PIPV) began to be widely introduced around 2000, although the use of PV systems...

Production Performance of Radial Jet Drilled Laterals in Tight Gas Reservoirs in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, a significant number (25+) of small tight natural gas fields are stranded. They are classified, according to the PRMS definition, as ‘contingent resources’. The combination of low GIIP and low permeability currently do not allow these fields to be developed economically without stimulation, which is usually required to...

The influence of deformation on the product performance of pre-coated packaging steels

Recent developments in various countries have led to the development of new types of polymer coated packaging steel. These materials behave differently in production and end use and are therefore subject of extensive studies. The aim of this research is to understand the influence of deformation of pre-coated packaging steel sheet on real can...
