Camporeale SM, Pantaleo AM, Ciliberti PD, Fortunato Bet al., 2015, Cycle configuration analysis and techno-economic sensitivity of biomass externally fired gas turbine with bottoming ORC, Energy Conversion and Management, Vol: 105, Pages: 1239-1250, ISSN: 0196-8904

This paper focuses on the energy analysis of a combined cycle composed by a topping 1.3 MW Externally Fired Gas Turbine (EFGT) with direct combustion of biomass and a bottoming Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). A non recuperative scheme is assumed for the EFGT in order to avoid the costs of the recuperator. This scheme presents lower conversion efficiency in comparison to a recuperative one, however the heat available for the bottoming cycle is at a higher temperature (about 400 °C). In the present work, evaporation pressure and superheating temperature of ORC cycle are ranged in order to examine different bottoming cycles, including supercritical ones. Different organic fluids are investigated, such as siloxanes and toluene, aiming to analyze how the fluid choice influences both the plant performance and important features for the ORC turbine design. On the basis of the results of the thermodynamic simulation, a thermo-economic assessment is proposed, to investigate the profitability of the bottoming ORC in comparison to only topping EFGT, and the most influencing techno-economic factors that influence the selection of the optimal cycle. In order to propose real case studies, the Italian bioenergy subsidy framework is assumed, and the sensitivity assessment includes the options of only electricity and CHP, at different biomass cost, thermal energy demand and heat selling price values.

Pantaleo A, Pellerano A, 2014, Assessment of wood particleboards milling by means of energy consumption tests, Wood Material Science and Engineering, Vol: 9, Pages: 193-201, ISSN: 1748-0272

Abstract: In this paper, an experimental procedure is proposed, in order to evaluate the machinability of different particleboards. A dedicated test stand has been built to measure the power consumption during the process for different typologies of particleboards. This methodology could constitute a quick particleboard grading system, in order to maximise the feeding rate during the working process, and, at the same time, minimise the tool wear and the loads on the shaft of the electrical spindle, with a considerable improvement in the overall production costs.

Pantaleo A, Ferri D, Pellerano A, 2014, Tests for outdoor window profiles: 90° mortise tenon corner joints strength assessment, Wood Material Science & Engineering, Vol: 11, Pages: 25-35, ISSN: 1748-0272

The research focuses on the assessment of the performances of glued laminated wood corner joints for outdoor window profiles applications, proposing a methodology to appreciate the strength of 90° tenon mortise corner joints. The rationale relies on the potential damage (i.e. breaking of the frame) that can be caused by poor glueing processes and/or typology of adhesives. There is a number of standards for assessment of wood-adhesive bonds for outdoor windows; however, there is a lack of specific standards related to glueing assessment for outdoor wood frames, which can take into account all the factors influencing the glueing quality. The proposed methodology was tested on red oak window profiles. A commercially available polyvinyl acetate-based adhesive was used for corner joints. Bending strength of 90° tenon mortise corner joints was measured and compared with maximum admissible loads on the frame to limit its deformations within admissible ranges. The test results show that the 90° tenon mortise corner joints strength exceeds the admissible load to preserve the functionality of the frame. In order to appreciate the influence of conditioning processes on adhesion, shear strength tests of the flatwise glued joint samples (bond lines of lamellae) were carried out after different conditioning processes.

The core concepts, or threads, of biosystems engineering (BSEN) are variously understood by those within the discipline but have never been unequivocally defined due to BSEN's early stage of development. This makes communication and teaching difficult compared to other well-established engineering disciplines. Biosystems engineering is a field of engineering that integrates engineering science and design with applied biological, environmental, and agricultural sciences. It represents an evolution of the agricultural engineering discipline applied to all living organisms but generally does not include biomedical applications. The key element for the emerging EU biosystems engineering program of studies is to ensure that it offers essential minimum fundamental engineering knowledge and competences. A core curriculum developed by successive Erasmus thematic networks has benchmarked agricultural and biosystems engineering studies in Europe. The common basis of a core curriculum for the discipline across European countries and the U.S. has been defined by an EU-US Atlantis project, but this needs to be taken further by defining the threads that link courses together. This article presents a structured approach to define the threads of BSEN. Definition of the mid-level competences and the associated learning outcomes has been one of the objectives of the EU-US Atlantis project TABE.NET. The mid-level competences and learning outcomes for each of six specializations within BSEN are defined, while the domain-specific knowledge to be acquired for each outcome is proposed. Once the proposed definitions are discussed, modified, and ultimately adopted, these threads will be available for the global development of BSEN.© 2014 American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.

As described in Chapter 2, cities primarily import high-quality raw fuels and export their wastes. This allows them to maintain high degrees of order within constrained spaces, a necessity for urban living. However, that is not to say that cities only import energy resources such as natural gas or electricity. Urban renewable energy sources that is, renewable energy sources that lie predominantly within the urban boundary or the near hinterland are an option for all cities, particularly those at early stages of development where lower energy demands and a lack of distribution infrastructure may make local resources an attractive option.a.

Keirstead JE, Samsatli NJ, Pantaleo AM, Shah Net al., 2012, Evaluating biomass energy strategies for a UK eco-town with an MILP optimization model, Pages: 306-316

Recent years have shown a marked interest in the construction of eco-towns, showcase developments intended to demonstrate the best in ecologically-sensitive and energy-efficient construction. This paper examines one such development in the UK and considers the role of biomass energy systems. We present an integrated resource modelling framework that identifies an optimized low-cost energy supply system including the choice of conversion technologies, fuel sources, and distribution networks. Our analysis shows that strategies based on imported wood chips, rather than locally converted forestry residues, burned in a mix of ICE and ORC combined heat and power facilities offer the most promise. While there are uncertainties surrounding the precise environmental impacts of these solutions, it is clear that such biomass systems can help eco-towns to meet their target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

The core concepts, or threads, of Biosystems Engineering (BSEN) are variously understood by those within the discipline, but have never been unequivocally defined due to its early stage of development. This makes communication and teaching difficult compared to other well established engineering subjects. Biosystems Engineering is a field of Engineering which integrates engineering science and design with applied biological, environmental and agricultural sciences. It represents an evolution of the Agricultural Engineering discipline applied to all living organisms not including biomedical applications. The basic key element for the emerging EU Biosystems Engineering program of studies is to ensure that it offers essential minimum fundamental engineering knowledge and competences. A core curriculum developed by Erasmus Thematic Networks is used as benchmark for Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering studies in Europe. The common basis of the core curriculum for the discipline across the Atlantic, including a minimum of competences comprising the Biosystems Engineering core competencies, has been defined by an Atlantis project, but this needs to be taken further by defining the threads linking courses together. This paper presents a structured approach to define the Threads of BSEN. The definition of the mid-level competences and the associated learning outcomes has been one of the objectives of the Atlantis programme TABE.NET. The mid-level competences and learning outcomes for each of six modules of BSEN are defined while the domain-specific knowledge to be acquired for each outcome is proposed. Once the proposed definitions are adopted, these threads will be available for global development of the BSEN.

How large is the potential demand for bio-heat in the UK? Whilst most research has focused on the supply of biomass for energy production, an understanding of the potential demand is crucial to the uptake of heat from bioenergy. We have designed a systematic framework utilising market segmentation techniques to assess the potential demand for biomass heat in the UK. First, the heat market is divided into relevant segments, characterised in terms of their final energy consumption, technological and fuel supply options. Second, the key technical, economic and organisational factors that affect the uptake of bioenergy in each heat segment are identified, classified and then analysed to reveal which could be strong barriers, which could be surmounted easily, and for which bioenergy heat represents an improvement compared to alternatives. The defined framework is applied to the UK residential sector. We identify provisionally the most promising market segments for bioenergy heat, and their current levels of energy demand. We find that, depending on the assumptions, the present potential demand for bio-heat in the UK residential sector ranges between 3% (conservative estimate) and 31% (optimistic estimate) of the total energy consumed in the heat market.
