The design of a prototype Otto-Atkinson engine and evaluation of the part load fuel efficiency
… Otto-Atkinson cycle, as a means of improving the part load fuel efficiency of spark-ignition engines. The primary objective of this thesis was to investigate the technical feasibility of the modified Atkinson cycle as a spark-ignition engine concept and thus to quantify the associated potential …

New techniques for the analysis of flexible operation of gas turbine based systems
… priority due to their relatively low variable operational costs. However, because of their high unpredictability, conventional power plants such as Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP) now operate with frequent load changes to fill the gaps in supply by participating in the balancing market. …

Thermofluid design and performance analysis of an air-cooled heat rejection system for a 50 MWe sCO2 concentrated solar power plant
… to the process design, physical layouts, and operational philosophy of these heat rejection systems. The present work includes the development of the conceptual layout and steady-state onedimensional (1D) thermofluid network models of forced draft direct air-cooled heat rejection systems for a …

Control for transient response of turbocharged engines
… by reducing pumping and friction losses at part-load operation. Conventionally, rated torque and power for downsized units are recovered by means of turbocharging. The transient response of such engines is, however, affected by the static and dynamic characteristics of the turbo-machinery. …

Performance Analysis of a Large-Scale Ground Source Heat Pump System
… integration, installation, commissioning, and operation of these systems. This work seeks to provide evidence to improve the practices in design, installation and operations of large GSHP systems. This evidence has been based on collection and analysis of data from an operational large-scale …

A generation-integrated energy storage system for steam power plant
… storage system and facilitates the adoption of a load-following role for nuclear plant. By allowing the reactor to operate constantly at maximum power output, the system also avoids the economic constraints and practical problems of part-load operation, which currently favour the use of nuclear …

The Measurement & Verification of Energy Conservation Measures at a Coal-fired Power Plant
… the turbine-condenser cycle and the auxiliary loads separately. Caution is drawn to the fact that plant performance may be expressed in many ways depending on how HR is defined and on which coal measurement base is used. The physical factors affecting plant performance were classified as either …
