InvestigationOpen accessIn the author namesSimulation and Experimental Analysis of a Demonstrative Solar Heating and Cooling Plant Installed in Naples (Italy)Annamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia et al.In this study the model of a Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) system and its experimental setup are presented. The SHC system under investigation is a demonstration plant installed in Naples, based on flat plate solar collectors and a single-stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller. In addition, two vertical tanks are installed as storage system. The balance of system includes: A cooling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2016 · 7,802 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDynamic Simulation and Optimum Operation Strategy of a Trigeneration System Serving a HospitalFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Luigi Libertini et al.This paper presents a numerical analysis of a trigeneration system in a hospital, aiming at determining the cost-optimal operating strategy as a function of the energy demands to be matched. The system includes: A natural gas fired reciprocating engine, heat exchangers for waste-heat recovery, a single-stage LiBr-H2O Absorption Chiller (ACH), a cooling tower, pumps, a backup boiler, a backup vapour-compression … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 29 Aug 2016 · 8,177 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Novel Prototype of a Small-Scale Solar Power Plant: dynamic Simulation and Thermoeconomic AnalysisAnnamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Maria VicidominiThe paper presents an innovative prototype of a solar power plant, purposely designed for small-scale applications such as residential and/or small commercial buildings. The system consists of 10 kWe Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant and innovative solar thermal collectors. In particular, 235 m2 of flat-plate evacuated solar collectors are designed to heat diathermic oil up to 180°C. A variable volume … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2016 · 8,061 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDesign and Dynamic Simulation of a Combined System Integration Concentrating Photovoltaic/Thermal Solar Collectors and Organic Rankine CycleFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Maria Vicidomini et al.This study presents the design of a novel ultra-high efficient solar power system. The system is equipped with a concentrating PhotoVoltaic/Thermal (CPVT) solar collectors bottomed by an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The basic idea is to use a high temperature CPVT device producing simultaneously electricity and hot diathermic oil. Then, this hot fluid is used to supply heat to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2015 · 8,654 accessesView PDF Cite
