Increasing energy usage efficiency requires enhanced heat energy recuperation between process streams in the industry and civic sector with waste heat utilization. The condensation of different vapours is the process encountered in many industrial applications. Increasing the heat recuperation in this process is possible with efficient heat transfer equipment, among which a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) is at the leading position. A number of research works have been conducted in recent years concerning construction development and heat transfer enhancement in conditions of limited pressure drop to increase PHE performance in condensation processes. The results of studies on heat transfer and pressure drop in the two-phase condensing flow inside channels of PHE with different geometries of corrugations are discussed. In many implementations, the total pressure drop allowable for gaseous streams in heat exchangers is relatively small. The structure of two-phase flow in PHE channels of complex geometry is very different than in tubes and flat wall channels. The relative differences in approaches to enhance PHE performance in condensation processes based on its modelling, optimisation and design are analyzed. The directions and prospects for future developments are formulated, and potential savings for the economy and the environmental footprint is presented.

“…As a result, a lot is spoken about the fourth energy transition, which implies the widespread use of renewable energy sources and the elimination of fossil fuels [19][20][21]. In addition to renewable energy sources, a significant impact on countries' energy mixes is made by distributed energy generation, digitalization of the economy [22], decarbonization of the energy sector and other industries [23], innovations in smart energy systems, novel energy materials and low carbon technologies [24], the introduction of energy storage systems (batteries, fuel cells), the utilization of new CO2 sequestration technologies [25][26][27], the transition to electric vehicles, all of which significantly changes the structure of the energy market, stimulating energy saving and improving energy efficiency [28]. The examples of countries include Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Albania, France, Panama, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Colombia, Brazil, and Denmark [12].…”

Assessment of Energy Sustainability Issues in the Andean Community: Additional Indicators and Their Interpretation

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), it is necessary to solve the problem of assessing and measuring energy sustainability performance. A popular indicator used for this purpose is the World Energy Council (WEC) energy sustainability index, or the Energy Trilemma Index, which is based on such key metrics as energy security, energy equity, environmental sustainability, and country context. Each of the four metrics, or dimensions, includes many indicators that depend on both internal and external factors. By combining a variety of indicators into integral ones, WEC ranks countries in terms of energy sustainability. However, what is not taken into account is how countries differ in terms of economic development, income, energy mix, renewables use, ownership in the energy sector, and other factors, and neither is the methodology itself disclosed by the developers. As a provider for all other sectors of the economy, the energy sector plays an important role in developing countries. Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, being members of the Andean Community, are neighbors and have similar economic conditions but lack transnational power grid interconnections, which hinders the development of a common energy market. In terms of energy sustainability, these countries’ ranks range from 45 to 101, according to the Energy Trilemma Index. The aim of the study is to develop a new methodology for assessing energy sustainability performance that will factor in the specific features of developing countries with a high share of hydroelectricity generation, and to calculate energy sustainability index indicators taking into account contemporary requirements for sustainable development, which include developing green and renewable energy and fostering decarbonization. This research reveals whether the countries’ energy sustainability indices correspond to their actual performance in energy development and identifies the factors influencing the values of the metrics in the Energy Trilemma Index. The methodology can be used to integrate the energy sectors of countries, as it allows for evaluating the state of the energy sector of several countries (for example, those of the Andean Community) as a whole.
