Garcia Gonzalez, Pedro (author)Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems for aviation applications have been considered for their use as APUs or powertrains, as standalone systems or in combination with gas turbines, and both fueled by reformed Jet-A or by hydrogen. Most existing studies focus on powertrain performance modelling. In this work, traditional tube-and-wing regional...master thesis 2022

Evertse, Tom (author)In the battle against climate change, humankind needs to develop alternative energy systems if it wants to survive on this planet. Fossil fuels, polluting the air with CO2, must make way for renewable sources so that climate change is put to a stop. Several new energy initiatives based on renewable sources are deployed worldwide, these however...master thesis 2021

Gupta, Sanchit (author)Power generation systems based on SOFCs provide a highly efficient alternative to traditional systems. In the present study a sensitivity analysis with cell operating temperature, pressure ratio and fuel utilization as system parameters is performed on a SOFC-GT system fed by Hydrogen and Methane. Exergy losses in different system components and...master thesis 2017

Fateh, S. (author)Leaders of European union and G8 have set the target of 80% reduction in greenhouse gases emissions by 2050 by decarbonizing the power and transport sector. There are several pathways to achieve this, some of them being a) use of renewable power and biomass b) improvement in transport and building energy efficiency and c) replacement of fossil...master thesis 2016
