A comprehensive guide to the modelling and design of solid oxide
fuel cell hybrid power plants This book explores all technical
aspects of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) hybrid systems and proposes
solutions to a range of technical problems that can arise from
component integration. Following a general introduction to the
state-of-the-art in SOFC hybrid systems, the authors focus on fuel
cell technology, including the components required to operate with
standard fuels. Micro-gas turbine (mGT) technology for hybrid
systems is discussed, with special attention given to issues
related to the coupling of SOFCs with mGTs. Throughout the book
emphasis is placed on dynamic issues, including control systems
used to avoid risk conditions. With an eye to mitigating the high
costs and risks incurred with the building and use of prototype
hybrid systems, the authors demonstrate a proven, economically
feasible approach to obtaining important experimental results using
simplified plants that simulate both generic and detailed
system-level behaviour using emulators. Computational models and
experimental plants are developed to support the analysis of SOFC
hybrid systems, including models appropriate for design,
development and performance analysis at both component and system
levels. Presents models for a range of size units, technology
variations, unit coupling dynamics and start-up and shutdown
behaviours Focuses on SOFCs integration with mGTs in light of key
constraints and risk avoidance issues under steady-state conditions
and during transient operations Identifies interaction and coupling
problems within the GT/SOFC environment, including exergy analysis
and optimization Demonstrates an economical approach to obtaining
important experimental results while avoiding high-cost components
and risk conditions Presents analytical/computational and
experimental tools for the efficient design and development of
hardware and software systems Hybrid Systems Based on Solid Oxide
Fuel Cells: Modelling and Design is a valuable resource for
researchers and practicing engineers involved in fuel cell
fundamentals, design and development. It is also an excellent
reference for academic researchers and advanced-level students
exploring fuel cell technology.
Available in English for the first time, The Bodies of Others
investigates, through a series of close readings of several
theatrical and film productions in Europe and South America, the
relationship between “representation” (including theatrical
representation) and ethics (defined as an ongoing relational
negotiation, as opposed to a set of universal moral laws). The main
concepts are exposed through a comparative analysis of historical
processes, political actions and artistic works from different
periods. Thus, the dialogue between the film La carrose d'or by
Jean Renoir (1952) and Rosa Cuchillo by Yuyachkani (2006) serves to
address the problem of the multiple meanings of representation. The
dialogue between the play El Señor Galíndez by Eduardo Pavlovsky
(1973), the performance The Conquest of America by Las Yeguas del
Apocalipsis (1989) and the novel 2666 (2004) by Roberto Bolaño
allows the concept of an ‘ethic of the body’ to be addressed.
Other key concepts such as identity, care, cruelty, violence,
memory and testimony are considered through investigation of work
such as Angelica Liddel’s theatre pieces, Rabih Mroué and Lina
Majdalanie’s performances, Albertina Carri, Basilio Martín
Patino and Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s films, and Mapa Teatro’s
trans-disciplinary creations.
