In this paper, a systematic method based on mathematical programming is proposed for the design of environmentally conscious absorption cooling systems. The approach presented relies on the development of a multi-objective formulation that simultaneously accounts for the minimization of cost and environmental impact at the design stage. The latter criterion is measured by the Eco-indicator 99 meth...<br/><br/>Gebreslassie, B.H., Guillen, G., Jimenez, L., Boer, D. (2009) <i>Applied Energy</i> 86 : 9 1712 – 1722<br/>

Many of the strategies devised so far to address the optimization of energy systems are deterministic approaches that rely on estimated data. However, in real world applications there are many sources of uncertainty that introduce variability into the decision-making problem. Within this general context, we propose a novel approach to address the design of absorption cooling systems under uncertai...<br/><br/>Gebreslassie, B.H.; Guillen, G.; Jimenez, L.; Boer, D.

First and second law analysis have been conducted for three low temperature driven ammonia-water absorption cooling cycles with increasing internal heat recovery. Based on the results of exergy analysis the structural analysis has been achieved. The obtained Coefficients of Structural Bonds (CSB) consider how the irreversibility of the whole cycle is affected by a change in the irreversibility ...<br/><br/>Boer, D., Gebreslassie, , B.H., Medrano,M., Nogués, M.

The integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is an electrical power generation system which offers efficient generation from coal with lower effect on the environment than conventional coal power plants. However, further improvement of its efficiency and thereby lowering emissions are important tasks to achieve a more sustainable energy production. In this paper, a process simulation tool is ...<br/><br/>Jimenez, L. , Gadalla, M., Boer, D. , Majozi, T. (2009) <i>Computers & Chemical Engineering</i> : <br/>

Integrated Energy Systems (IES) combine a distributed power generation system (DG) such as a microturbine generator (MTG) or a fuel cell with thermally activated technologies (TAT) such as absorption cooling. This integration maximizes the efficiency of energy use by utilizing on-site most of the waste heat generated by DG, and reduces harmful emissions to the environment. This study investiga...<br/><br/>Medrano, M., Mauzey , J., McDonell , V., Samuelsen , S., Boer, D. (2006) <i>International Journal of Thermodynamics</i> 9: 1 29-36<br/>

Absorption cycles are an alternative to compression cycles in cooling and refrigeration applications. Our analysis of an absorption cycle is based on the exergy and the structural analysis. Once the exergy analysis has been achieved, the coefficients of structural bonds (CSBs) of the main heat and mass exchangers can be determined by a structural analysis. The CSBs show how the modification of...<br/><br/>Boer, D., Medrano, M., Nogués , M. (2005) <i>International journal of thermodynamics</i> 8: 4 191-198<br/>
