Superconducting transmission lines (SCTL) are an innovative option for the future electricity grid and in particular for high-capacity HVDC power transmission. The promise of superconducting electric lines lies principally in their small size, with potential advantages in terms of efficiency, environmental impact and public acceptance. Furthermore, contrary to standard conductors, SCTL do not have any resistive losses, therefore the only remaining power loss is due to the cooling system that is needed ...

In this paper a systematic analysis is reported on the use of CO2 as heat carrier fluid in solar thermal receivers and as thermodynamic working fluid. It includes the performance of close-to-critical regenerative Brayton cycles, which opens a broad field of cycle possibilities with low pressure ratios (very simple turbines) complemented with large but standard heat exchangers as regenerators. Radiation intensities needed to reach relevant efficiencies are in the range above 25 kW/m2, but receiver ...

The development of a low-carbon technique to produce hydrogen from fossils would be of great importance during the transition to a long-term sustainable energy system. Methane decarbonisation, the well-known transformation of methane into hydrogen and solid carbon, is a potential candidate in this regard. At the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS), a new alternative technology for methane decarbonisation applying liquid metal technology was proposed and an ambitious programme was ...

Despite the extensive research and development investments into superconducting science and technology, both at the fundamental and at the applied levels, many benefits of superconducting transmission lines (SCTL) remain unknown to the public and decision makers at large. This paper aims at informing about the progress in this important research field. Superconducting transmission lines have a tremendous size advantage and lower total electrical losses for high capacity transmission plus a number ...

Linear Fresnel collector arrays present some relevant advantages in the domain of concentrating solar power because of their simplicity, robustness and low capital cost. However, they also present important drawbacks and limitations, notably their average concentration ratio, which seems to limit significantly the performance of these systems. First, the paper addresses the problem of characterizing the mirror field configuration assuming hourly data of a typical year, in reference to a configuration ...

Concentrated solar power presents the drawback of decreasing radiation capture efficiency as the temperature of the receiver increases, because thermal losses increase as well. Low temperature at the receiver is an advantage for radiation concentrators, as they present high capture efficiency, but this fact changes into a drawback because of the low efficiency of the thermodynamic cycles working with a low temperature heat source. An analysis is presented on the performance of real fluids working ...

The basic concept and the main practical considerations of an Energy Amplifier (EA) have been exhaustively described in Ref. . Here the concept of the EA is further explored and additional schemes are described which offer a higher gain, a larger maximum power density and an extended burn‐up. All these benefits stem from the use of fast neutrons, instead of thermal or epithermal ones, which was the case in Ref. . The higher gain is due both to a more efficient high energy target configuration and to ...

Under the demands of fundamental research, the accelerator community has responded with a number of impressive fundamental developments. New types of accelerators and colliders have permitted a tremendous progress in the understanding of subnuclear physics. It is very likely that such a progress may lead also to practical applications in a number of other fields and in particular in that of energy production.

Two concepts have been applied to the classical problem of accelerators for the ignition of indirectly driven inertial fusion. The first is the use of non-Liouvillian stacking based on photoionisation of a singly charged ion beam. A special FEL appears the most suited device to generate the appropriate light beam intensity at the required wavelength. The second is based on the use of a large number of (>1000) beamlets–or “beam straws”–all focussed by an appropriate magnetic structure and concentrated ...
