Flexible heat pump integration to improve sustainable transition toward 4th generation district heating
(Elsevier, 2020)The movement toward the 4th generation district heating (4GDH) embraces a great opportunity to support the future smart energy development concept. However, its development calls for addressing technological and economic ... -
Looking for answers to food loss and waste management in spain from a holistic nutritional and economic approach
(MDPI, 2020-12)The generation of food loss and waste (FLW) is a global problem for worldwide politics. About one-third of the food produced ends up in the rubbish before it is consumed. For this reason, it is essential to design and ... -
Multi-objective design of reverse osmosis plants integrated with solar Rankine cycles and thermal energy storage
(Elsevier, 2013)This paper addresses the optimal design of desalination plants that integrate reverse osmosis, a Rankine cycle, parabolic trough solar collectors and thermal energy storage (TES). A multi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear ... -
Multi-objective optimisation of bio-based thermal insulation materials in building envelopes considering condensation risk
(Elsevier, 2018)The reduction in energy demand for heating and cooling with insulation materials increases the material related environmental impact. Thus, implementing low embodied energy materials may equilibrate this trade-off. Actual ... -
Multi-objective optimization coupled with life cycle assessment for retrofitting buildings
(Elsevier, 2014)In this work we present a systematic tool for the optimal retrofit of buildings that considers several economic and environmental criteria simultaneously at the design stage. Our approach is based on a rigorous mixed-integer ... -
Multi-objective optimization of thermal modelled cubicles considering the total cost and life cycle environmental impact
(Elsevier, 2015)Energy efficiency strategies, such as building insulation, improve the building performance without compromising comfort. This study presents a methodology for determining the optimal insulation thickness for external ... -
On the use of filters to facilitate the post-optimal analysis of the Pareto solutions in multi-objective optimization
(Elsevier, 2015)Multi-objective optimization (MOO) has emerged recently as a useful technique in the design andplanning of engineering systems because it allows identifying alternatives leading to significant envi-ronmental savings. MOO ... -
Uncovering relationships between environmental metrics in the multi-objective optimization of energy systems: A case study of a thermal solar Rankine reverse osmosis desalination plant
(Elsevier, 2013)Multi-objective optimization (MOO) is increasingly being used in a wide variety of applications to identify alternatives that balance several criteria. The energy sector is not an exception to this trend. Unfortunately, ...
