Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a promising renewable energy technology to generate electricity and has other applications such as production of freshwater, seawater air-conditioning, marine culture and chilled-soil agriculture. Previous studies on the technology have focused on promoting it to generate electricity and produce energy-intensive products such as ammonia and hydrogen. Though the technology has been understood in the past couple of decades through academic studies and limited demonstration projects, the uncertainty around the financial viability of a large-scale plant and the lack of an operational demonstration project have delayed large investments in the technology. This study brings together a broad overview of the technology, market locations, technical and economic assessment of the technology, environmental impact of the technology and a comparison of the levelized costs of energy of this technology with competing ones. It also provides an analysis and discussion on application of this technology in water scarce regions of the world, emphasized with a case study of the economic feasibility of this technology for the Bahamas. It was found that current technology exists to build OTEC plants except for some components such as the cold water pipe which presents an engineering challenge when scaled for large-scale power output. The technology is capital intensive and unviable at small scale of power output but can become viable when approached as a sustainable integrated solution to co-generate electricity and freshwater, especially for island nations in the OTEC resource zones with supply constraints on both these commodities. To succeed, this technology requires the support of appropriate government regulation and innovative financing models to mitigate risks associated with the huge upfront investment costs. If the viability of this technology can be improved by integrating the production of by-products, OTEC can be an important means of producing more electricity, freshwater and food for the planet's increasing population.

Concerns about climate change, the world's growing energy needs, and energy independence are driving demand for solar energy conversion technologies. Solar thermal electricity generation has the potential to ll this demand. Solar thermal technology could also be used to displace fossil fuels in applications which require heat as an input. This thesis addresses the potential of two solar thermal technologies: solar thermoelectric generators and aerogel-based solar thermal receivers. Thermoelectrics are materials which produce a voltage when subjected to a temperature gradient. In a solar thermoelectric generator (STEG), sunlight heats one end of the thermoelectric materials, generating a voltage across the device. The voltage can be connected to a load and useful work can be extracted. By adding optical concentration and using higher-temperature materials, the power output and energy conversion eciency of STEGs can be increased. In this work, segmented thermoelectric generators (TEGs) made of bismuth telluride and skutterudite alloys are modeled, optimized, built, and tested. These TEGs achieve a heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 10.7% at a hot side of 550° C, the highest TEG eciency reported in this temperature range. From these TEGs, STEGs are built which achieve a sunlight-to-electricity conversion eciency of 5.7% at less than 60 suns, higher than the best reported literature values in this concentration range. With further improvements, it is projected that these STEGs will achieve 10% eciency at 100 suns. In any type of solar thermal system, heat losses from the system must be suppressed to achieve high eciency. Aerogels, which are stable ultra-low density foams, can suppress radiative and convective losses. It is shown that aerogel-based solar thermal receivers can increase the eciency of traditional solar thermal electricity and hot water generation. These results can help advance the field and expand the scope of solar thermal technologies.

Full textThis work entitled « Functional Conjugated Systems for Energy Conversion and Storage » involves the design and synthesis of new classes of functional π-conjugated systems for photovoltaic conversion and the development of new microporous materials. After a general introduction to the structure and electronic properties of the major classes of conjugated systems and more particularly conjugated molecules used as donor material in organic solar cells (OSC), the second chapter describes the synthesis and study of a series of molecular donors obtained by grafting dicyanovinylene on three types of conjugated rigid blocks : carbazole, cyclopentadithiophene and dithienopyrrole (DTP). The evaluation of these systems in donor-acceptor bilayer heterojunction OSCs shows that the DTP leads to best results. A study of the evolution of the electronic properties, of a series of oligo-DTPs, with the chain length further confirms the interest of the donor block for low band gap conjugated systems. The next chapter deals with the synthesis of a series of conjugated molecules of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type, built around a core of isoindigo, and describes a first evaluation of their potential as donor materials in OSCs. The fourth chapter deals with the synthesis of a series of 3D molecules derived from the grafting of donor groupas on a quaterthiophene core with a quasi-tetrehedral geometry caused by steric effect, and examine the relationship between the structure of the molecules, the mobility of positive charges in these materials and their performance in OSCs. Finally the fift and last chapter describes the first steps towards the design and use of 3D conjugated molecules in order to develop new classes of electro-active materials by polymerization of microporous 3D molecular systems provided with reactive end groups

Full textThe study of the diffuser augmented wind turbine provides optimum dimensions for achieving high power density that can address the challenges associated with small scale wind energy systems; these challenges are to achieve a lower start-up speed and low wind speed operation. The diffuser design was modeled using commercial computational fluid dynamics code. Two-dimensional modeling using actuator disk theory was used to optimize the diffuser design. A statistical study was then conducted to reduce the computational time by selecting a descriptive set of models to simulate and characterize relevant parameters\' effects instead of checking all the possible combinations of input parameters. Individual dimensions were incorporated into JMP® software and randomized to design the experiment. The results of the JMP® analysis are discussed in this paper. Consistent with the literature, a long outlet section with length one to three times the diameter coupled with a sharp angled inlet was found to provide the highest amplification for a wind turbine diffuser.
The second study consisted of analyzing the capabilities of a small-scale vertical axis wind turbine. The turbine consisted of six blades of extruded aluminum NACA 0018 airfoils of 0.08732 m (3.44 in) in chord length. Small-scale wind turbines often operate at Reynolds numbers less than 200,000, and issues in modeling their flow characteristics are discussed throughout this thesis. After finding an appropriate modeling technique, it was found that the vertical axis wind turbine requires more accurate turbulence models to appropriately discover its performance capabilities.
The use of tubercles on aerodynamic blades has been found to delay stall angle and increase the aerodynamic efficiency. Models of 440 mm (17.33 in) blades with and without tubercles were fabricated in Virginia Tech\'s Center for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems (CEHMS) laboratory. Comparative analysis using three dimensional models of the blades with and without the tubercles will be required to determine whether the tubercle technology does, in fact, delays the stall. Further computational and experimental testing is necessary, but preliminary results indicate a 2% increase in power coefficient when tubercles are present on the blades.

Full textWind energy has increased its presence in many countries and it is expected to have even a higher weight in the electrical generation share with the implantation of offshore wind farms. Consequently, the wind energy industry has to take greater responsibility towards the integration and stability of the power grid. In this sense, there are proposed in the present work control systems that aim to improve the response and robustness of the wind energy conversion systems without increasing their complexity in order to facilitate their applicability. In the grid-side converter it is proposed to implement an optimal controller with its design based on H-infinity control theory in order to ensure the stability, obtain an optimal response of the system and also provide robustness. In the machine-side converter the use of a Linear Parameter-Varying controller is selected, this choice provides a controller that dynamically adapts itself to the operating point of the system, in this way the response obtained is always the desired one, the one defined during the design process. Preliminary analysis of the controllers are performed using models validated with field test data obtained from operational wind turbines, the validation process followed the set of rules included in the official regulations of the electric sector or grid codes. In the last stage an experimental test bench has been developed in order to test and evaluate the proposed controllers and verify its correct performance.
