C2 Technology: Micro-turbine Based Modular Energy Conversion Systems (MECS) Feasibility Study

C2科技(C2)是一家开发能源回收、节约和储存以及可再生能源的创新解决方案的公司，以帮助行业满足低碳世界的需求。C2 S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释放到环境中。低能耗(&lt；尤其是300千瓦)的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，而且比回收高功率能源废品的利润更低。在上述行业以及天然气和蒸汽等气体介质的配电网减压期间使用的能源中，超过25%的能源作为污染环境的低品位热废物而损失。由于对温室气体排放、能源可负担性和能源安全的担忧，现在有一个提高能源效率的关键动力。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)。C2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，并在一系列行业中更有效地回收废能。C2打算实施一种具有成本效益的模块化能量转换系统(MECS)设计，该系统可以从有限数量的互连模块进行异地配置。MECS可作为降压应用的直接压力至动力系统实施，也可作为闭合回路热电系统的主要部分实施。这项研究的一部分涉及将客户需求系统化，并将其提供给MECS的前端工程(FEE)。MECS将由主要意见领袖(KOL)进行评估，KOL将组成顾问委员会，并针对不同行业客户的需求进行优化。该项目将使C2有时间和范围完成对这个复杂和多样化的市场的可行性研究，并产生MECS的前端工程评估、其开发和成本计划以及指导下一个发展阶段的商业化战略。

C2 Technology (C2) 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.C2'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.Low power (<300kW) 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.Over 25% of the energy used in the above-mentioned industries as well as during pressure reduction in distribution networks of gaseous media, i.e. natural gas and steam, is lost as low-grade heat waste contaminating the environment. 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. C2 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.C2 intends to implement a cost-effective design of a modular energy conversion system (MECS) that can be configured off-site from a finite number of interconnectable modules. The MECS is implementable as a direct pressure-to-power system for pressure let down applications as well as the main part of closed loop heat-to-power systems. Part of this study involves systematising client requirements and feeding them into front-end engineering (FEE) of the MECS. The MECS is to be assessed by key opinion leaders (KOLs), who will form the advisory board, and optimised for the needs of the clients from different sectors.This project will allow C2 time and scope to complete a feasibility study of this complex and varied marketplace and produce a front-end engineering assessment of MECS, its development and costing plan as well as a commercialisation strategy to guide the next development stages.
