Keywords: CO2 capture, amine-based CO2 absorption, energy consumption minimization, optimal design, process modification 1. Introduction The growth in human activities has been evaluated to increase...

... optimization in terms of life cycle environmental and economic impacts is proposed to obtain an optimal design of distributed energy systems for different building types in various climate regions. Several typical distributed energy technologies are considered in this paper including combined heat and power...

... Abstract The membrane process is a promising technology for CO 2 removal and mitigation. Since the energy consumption and economy of membrane-based carbon capture systems (CCSs) are critical for their large-scale deployments, optimal design and operation of such systems are the primary aims...

... technologies, however, design optimization and integration issues have not been explored sufficiently. This paper applies a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) optimization to obtain an optimal design of integrated distributed energy systems for off-grid homes in various U.S. climate regions. Distributed...
