Pintelon 3.8.6Maintenance optimization modelingPartners: Laborelec Objective: The EOH (equivalent operating hours) is a generally accepted method in determining the maintenance requirements for gas turbines. This project aims at assessing this concept as a risk-based maintenance concept. A detailed study on the different EOH approaches available from literature allows to evaluate these approaches and confront their outcome with some other concepts which can be used as alternatives for this EOH concept. Period: Aug 2003 – Dec 2004 Contact: L. Pintelon 3.8.7Facilities management in BelgiumPartners: Faceo Objective: The main objective of this study is to gain insight in the facilities management (FM) market in Belgium. Although some information on the FM market in Europe (general) and European countries (specific) is available, no such studies exist in Belgium. The study focuses on the individual companies and organizations and their FM management. Aspects included are: definition of FM, perception of FM, FM in the organization chart, outsourcing of FM activities, … Special attention is paid to the FM outsourcing process. Period: Jul 2003 – May 2004 Contact: L. Pintelon, B. Vannieuwenhuyse 3.8.8Equipment performance behaviour analysisPartners: Philips Lighting (Turnhout) Objective: Application of the objective/object-oriented maintenance and asset management methodology in the “insmeltline” of Philips Lighting. The purpose is to ensure improved equipment performance satisfying the producion process requirements. Period: Oct 2003 – May 2004 Contact: L. Pintelon, G. Zhu 3.8.9Maintenance and asset managementPartners: Sidmar-Arcelor Objective: Optimize the physical asset management through the objective/object-oriented maintenance management concept. Developing a case study at the hot rolling mill, involving different aspects of the maintenance strategy. Period: Nov 2003 – Apr 2004 Contact: L. Gelders, G. Zhu 3.9Energy and environment3.9.1K.U.Leuven Energy Foundation Industry-University: Kyoto and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissionsPartners: K.U.Leuven - TME, members core group K.U.Leuven Energy -Institute Objective: This ongoing project aims to study the implications of the Kyoto Protocol for the Belgian energy situation. The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement between the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to come to a global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Belgium committed itself to an emission reduction of 7.5% by 2008-2012 compared to 1990. Starting from this commitment as a given, all possible technical options and policy measures to realise this emission reduction are charted and critically evaluated. The effective potential technologies, considered individually, are computed, after which these same technologies are embedded in the Belgian economic framework. Careful attention is being paid at the flexible mechanisms allowed by the Kyoto protocol and the Voluntary Agreements between Industry and Government. Period: recurrent Contact: W. D’haeseleer 3.9.2Bilateral project with ELECTRABEL: Cost/benefit analysis of mitigation-possibilities to reduce the costs of damage due to voltage sags (brownouts)Partners: Electrabel, K.U.Leuven Energy-Institute Objective: Some electrical applications, such as motors with variable speed drives, are sensitive for a brief drop in the electrical supply voltage (also called voltage sag or brownout). If these applications are integrated in an industrial process, such a brownout causes a process interruption with considerable financial damage. Solutions to prevent these damages are commercially available, but are often very expensive. To choose the best possible solution requires a thorough study of the situation. The aim of our research is to calculate an economical optimum between the cost of the brownouts and the mitigation costs. This has been done by investigating industries active in the same industrial activity in order to draw general conclusions. Period: Jan 2000 – Jan 2004 Contact: W. D’haeseleer 3.9.3K.U.Leuven OT project OT/99/16: The influence of the Kyoto protocol on the generation mix for electricity in the EU in the context of liberalisation of the electricity marketPartners: K.U.Leuven - TME Objective: The development of a simulation tool for the European electricity system to study the by Kyoto imposed CO2 reduction on that system, taking into account the dynamic environment of the new liberalised market. Starting from the knowledge gathered in the development of the model PROMIX for the simulation of national electricity generation, a new model is being developed. This model is gradually altered from separate models for single countries to a final version where interactions are possible. With this new tool, several effects will be thoroughly examined in the rapidly changing context of electricity generation. Topics such as the imposition of an energy- or CO2-tax, the emission restrictions imposed by the Kyoto protocol, the impact of the liberalisation of the electric market and possibilities for joint implementation and emission trading are considered. Period: Oct 1998 – Sep 2003 Contact: W. D’haeseleer 3.9.4FWO project: Influence of the “flexible mechanisms” for CO2 reduction and of the liberalisation of the electricity market on the European generation mix for electricityPartners: K.U.Leuven - TME Objective: This project concentrates on the effectiveness of the so-called flexible mechanisms, i.e. tradable permits and joint implementation, on the composition of the electric power system in Europe. Especially the interaction between CO2-trading and trading of electricity (import/export) is being studied. Furthermore, the influence of the by the liberalised market stimulated decentralised electricity generation on the CO2 emissions is being looked upon. Finally import/export of renewable electricity versus home-produced green electricity is focussed on. Period: Jan 2000 – Dec 2004 Contact: W. D’haeseleer 3.9.5Bilateral project with ELECTRABEL: Market exploration study of a mini-fuel cell in CHP modePartners: Electrabel, K.U. Leuven - TME Objective: The aim of this project is to perform a market exploration study for a mini-fuel cell (of the PEM or SOFC type) that is fed from natural gas and that operates in a combined heat and power mode. Period: Nov 2001 – Dec 2003 Contact: W. D’haeseleer 3.9.6IWT – GBOU-project: Embedded Generation: a global approach to energy balance and grid power quality and securityPartners: K.U. Leuven Energy Institute, VUB, IMEC, K.U. Leuven - TME Objective: This project deals with the technical and economic aspects of electrical energy supply, based upon local generation and storage of energy. The technical feasibility, the products and services that have to be used and developed, and the economic and ecological surplus value are evaluated. The approach is based upon a correct use of decentralized and renewable energy sources and storage devices in a distribution grid, taking into account the contradictory demands of economy (liberalized market), ecology (greenhouse gas emissions) and technique (quality of supply, reliability). Period: Jan 2002 – Dec 2005 Contact: W. D’haeseleer 3.9.7IWT-GBOU-project: EL2EP Residential BuildingsPartners: K.U. Leuven, Div. Building Physics; UGent, Div. Architecture and City Planning, K.U. Leuven, Div. ELECTA, K.U. Leuven – TME Objective: This project aims at minimizing energy use in dwellings. Starting from building-physics principles, the dwellings are first designed to require a minimum of energy supply, especially for space heating. The role of TME in the project is to find the most optimal thermal facility to provide both sanitary hot water and space heating. TME focuses hereby on technologies such as cogeneration (by means of gas engines, fuel cells and Stirling engines) and heat pumps. Especially the interaction between the building (e.g. thermal inertia) and the thermal system is of importance, whereby appropriate control will prove to be crucial.
