Industrial Research of Modular Energy Conversion System as a Steam Let-down Expander

C2科技(**C2T**)是一家为能源回收、节约和储存以及可再生能源开发创新解决方案的公司，帮助行业满足低碳世界的需求。C2T的主要活动领域是回收低级能源废物，即在化工、食品饮料、制造、水泥等各种加工行业中排放到环境中。英美牛肉加工商(**ABP**)是一家主要业务职能是牛肉加工的公司。总部基地明白，他们有责任确保下一代的自然资源到位。BEIS工业热回收计划发现，2014年，11TWh的工业热能在技术上可以回收，但由于许多低功率来源，其中只有5TWh在商业上是可行的。尤其是低能耗废能回收被大型服务运营商普遍忽视，因为它在技术上很难回收，而且利润低于高功率废能回收。项目团队的重点是通过多个行业的蒸汽网络中的压力发电(P2P)过程回收低能耗(&lt；150kW)能源浪费。出于对温室气体排放、能源可负担性和能源安全的担忧，现在有一个关键的动力来提高能源效率。为了与这些需求保持一致，许多行业开始研究回收他们在运营过程中产生的低能耗低品位能源浪费的方法。目前市场上提供的能源回收系统的一个关键问题是它们的高成本和相对较长的投资回报(3-5年)。C2T相信，模块化概念及其创新的低成本气体轴承将提供显著的市场优势，并导致一系列行业的废能更有效地回收。该项目将使C2T能够完成详细的20kWe模块化能量转换系统(MECS)的设计和制造，证明系统的成本和性能达到TRL6，并在总部基地提供的工业实验室环境中的回收期，为下一阶段的Beta原型建立技术信心。而总部基地将利用P2P转换产生免费电力，同时减少对环境的污染。该项目将使主要利益相关者能够评估MECS，从而产生后续的示范点和外部投资。MECS的实施将有助于英国经济到2050年实现零碳水平，并有可能减少英国每年13万吨的二氧化碳排放。

C2 Technology (**C2T**) is a company that develops innovative solutions for energy recovery, saving and storage as well as renewables to help industries meet demands for a low carbon world. C2T's main field of activities lies in the area of recovery of low-grade energy waste that is, otherwise, released into the environment in a variety of processing industries such as chemical, food and drink, manufacturing, cement etc.Anglo Beef Processors (**ABP**) is a company whose main business function is the processing of beef. ABP understands they have a responsibility to ensure that natural resources are in place for the next generation.The BEIS Industrial Heat Recovery Programme found that in 2014 11TWh of industrial heat could have been technically recovered, but only 5TWh of this would have been commercially viable due to many low power sources. Low-power waste energy recovery in particular is widely overlooked by the larger service operators as it is technically difficult to recover and less profitable than recovery of high-power energy waste.The project team's focus is on recovery of low-power (<150kW) energy waste through pressure-to-power (P2P) processes in steam networks of a variety of industries.There is now a critical impetus for enhanced energy efficiency due to the concerns of greenhouse gas emissions, energy affordability and energy security. To be in-line with these needs many industries started to examine ways of recovering low-power low-grade energy waste they produce while operating.A key concern with the current market offerings for energy recovery systems is their high cost with comparatively lengthy payback (\>3-5 years) on investment. C2T believes that the modular concept along with their innovative low-cost gas bearings will give a significant market advantage and lead to more efficient recovery of waste energy across a range of industry sectors.This project will enable C2T to complete the detailed 20kWe modular energy conversion system (MECS) design and manufacture, prove system's cost and performance achieving TRL6, and payback period in an Industrial lab environment, provided by ABP, establishing confidence in the technology for the next phase beta-prototype. Whilst ABP will generate free electricity using P2P conversion simultaneously reducing pollution of the environment. The project would enable key stakeholders to evaluate MECS, leading to subsequent demonstration sites and external investment.The Implementation of MECS will contribute achieving by the UK economy zero carbon levels by 2050 with the potential of reducing the UK CO2 emissions by 130,000 tons/year.
