Thermofluid design and performance analysis of an air-cooled heat rejection system for a 50 MWe sCO2 concentrated solar power plant by Abrahams, Liam M

“…However, any optimisation of the PC and IC needs to be performed together, and with the cycle model for the best results. Furthermore, an increase in the thermal efficiency of the power cycle was observed when including the detailed cooler models, as opposed to the simplified cooler models used in the original cycle model, demonstrating the value of including more detailed models in cycle-level studies. …”

Cost of Electricity Interruption to Commercial and Industrial End-Users by Akpeji, Kingsley Oladipo

“…The cost assessment was done from the business customer’s viewpoint via a firm-level survey of commercial and manufacturing businesses in Cape Town. Three CIC models were developed from an analysis of the survey data viz. a time-invariant average interruption cost (TIAIC) model, a time-varying average interruption cost (TVAIC) model, and a time-varying probabilistic interruption cost (TVPIC) model. …”
