Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in load balance due to renewable energy sources penetration: The possible role of energy storage technologies relative to the Italian case
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the effect of renewable energy sources on the Italian electricity generation mix in the period 2008-2012 and highlighted the possible coupling of energy storage systems with thermoelectric plants as an alternative solution to retrofitting of existing plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility study and numerical simulation of a ground source heat pump plant, applied to a residential building
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the efficiency of ground source heat pump (GSHP) in a residential building divided in two independent apartments blocks and showed that the best plant configuration consists of a winter heating GSHP system and a summer free-cooling bypass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Analysis of SOFC Fuelled by Ammonia
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental test performed to evaluate the feasibility of NH3 directly fed to a 50 cm2 single cell solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is presented. And the results show that the cell can operate at 300mW/cm-2 and 30% efficiency based on ammonia LHV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of Reversible Solid Oxide Cells as Electricity Storage System
TL;DR: In this article, reversible solid oxide cells (ReSOCs) are used as EES in both fuel cell and electrolysis modes, where the thermal energy produced during fuel cell mode is stored as sensible or latent heat, respectively, in a high density and high specific heat material and in a phase change material (PCM) and used during electrolysis operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a 100 W SOFC stack fed by carbon monoxide rich fuels
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a 100-W Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) stack with CO-rich fuels as anode gas was evaluated using FCTestQA procedures.
