Techno-economic evaluation of a waste heat assisted district heating system

The purpose of this research is to find an alternative to the natural gas-fueled heating systems of dwellings for the neighborhood of Westenholte. Reasons for replacing this system include the high GHG emissions, resulting from the combustion product of natural gas (CO2), in addition to its greenhouse effect. As a solution to replace the GHG...

Green hydrogen supply potential on the Arabian Peninsula

This research is aimed at designing and optimising a fully renewable energy system for the GCC countries of the Arabian Peninsula for the year 2050 . This includes deriving the energy potential of open-field PV and wind technologies in the region. Apart from the electricity demand of the power sector, the hydrogen demand of the steel, ammonia...

Competitiveness of Renewable Energy: An empirical study examining the relative cost of energy generation to determine the competitiveness of renewable technologies within the German electricity market.

This thesis examines the competitiveness of renewable energy technology compared to conventional power generation methods by examining the relative cost of solar PV, wind, and coal. The findings of this analysis seek to answer the primary hypothesis: The unique application of Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE), entailing the manipulation of...

The Energy Transition and Policy Options for the Need of Flexibility: A Case Study of CCGT Generation in Germany

National policies that seek to stimulate the energy transition require attention with the requirement for generation sources that can compensate for moments when wind and solar plants are not available. Electricity supply needs to adjust to demand in real-time, at least until energy storage becomes commercially viable, otherwise the energy...
