Abstract The emergence of Pinch Analysis from more than four decades ago opened a new
area of intense research development that has even accelerated in recent years. Initially …

There has been growing interest in developing Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES) as
a Process (Heat) Integration approach for synergising the industrial thermal energy systems …

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays are increasingly being used to provide shade for parking lots and
walkways. These structures introduce convective surfaces that have potentially significant …

Heat is a major contributor to total energy demand of process industries. Therefore,
integrating solar heat into processes is a suitable alternative for fossil fuels. However, there …

This work evaluates the local integration of the renewable resources for the supply of utilities
by designing a renewable-based utility plant, which couples different technologies within a …

There is a growing interest in developing Inter-Plant Heat Integration (IPHI) methods for
reducing energy consumptions and emissions beyond that of independent plants. However …

This paper presents a novel approach for upgrading utility systems by integrating absorption
cooling systems using R-curve analysis. The key contributions include a comprehensive …

Cogeneration systems are recognized as an efficient means of supplying heat and power for
industrial processes. Due to the rising awareness on environmental sustainability, much …

Similar to other energy systems, economic analysis of cogeneration systems is one of the
most important steps in their design procedure. In this paper, a novel method is suggested …

Given that cement is the most widely used material for housing and modern infrastructure
needs, this paper analyses the energy efficiency of the cement manufacturing processes for …
