Small-Scale Energy Conversion Systems Combined with LNG Cold Utilization

Small-Scale Energy Conversion Systems Combined with LNG Cold Utilization fills the scientific and engineering knowledge gaps in small-scale LNG regasification and its combinations with various combined energy systems. Including thermodynamic, economic, environmental, thermoeconomic and lifecycle assessment techniques for performance investigations of the small-scale LNG cold utilization systems, this book highlights the real potential of systems integration involving LNG and what the advantages of small-scale LNG plants.

Consisting of different kinds of power generation systems, including Rankine cycle, Brayton cycle, thermoelectric power generation, and more with different energy systems like desalination, thermal energy storage, data center cooling, and carbon dioxide capture systems, the book emphasizes the combination of both traditional and new systems with small-scale LNG regasification.

• Presents environmental, sustainability and lifecycle-integrated performance assessments by different combined energy system configurations
• Features detailed and critical multi-objective optimization procedures
• Includes case studies that give insights to apply to proposed techniques with real-time data
