Hierarchical Gas-Gas Systems

Professor Ryszard Bartnik is a well-known power engineering researcher and a scientist, specializing in heat and power generating technologies and power management. His research interests also include technical and economical problems of coal-fired and natural gas-fired heat and power generating plants. He worked at the Silesian University of Technology as Academic Teacher, then in design offices making some projects, before becoming Professor at the Opole University of Technology. He is the author or the co-author of 14 books. Dr. Tomasz Kowalczyk is a researcher at the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery Polish Academy of Sciences. He has published 11 reports and expert opinions for the industry and more than 40 scientific papers. His work for the industry includes primarily explaining the causes of fluid-flow machinery failures and proposals for their modernization. His scientific work is focused on the issues of cooperation between RES and fossil fuel-based power plants, energy storage and hydrogen technologies.Thank you!
