2. Procesni i upravlјački aspekti unapređenja energetske efikasnosti industrijskih procesa /

Process and control aspects of improving the energy efficiency of industrial processes
Potrošnja energije je u stalnom porastu, međutim, neobnovljivi izvori energije su ograničeni. Poslednjih 6
meseci su pokazali da je tržište energijom i energentima izuzetno nestabilno i više nije moguće dugoročno
predvideti cenu električne energije, prirodnog gasa i nafte. Jedino što je izvesno jeste da više ne možemo
računati na jeftinu energiju i energente. U tom smislu, energetska efikasnost je postala jedna od centralnih
tema energetske politike svih razvijenih zemalja sveta. Koristeći se dostupnim visoko-efikasnim
tehnologijama, moguće je ostvariti i do 20% ušteda energije, dok je dodatnih 10-15% moguće ostvariti tako
što će se sprečiti rasipanje i neefikasno korišćenje primarnih izvora energije. Energija koja se „sačuva“ postaje
„gorivo“ visoke vrednosti.
Ova sesija se zajedničkim naporom između mašinske i elektro struke organizuje sa ciljem da se ukaže da se
jedino zajedničkom saradnjom struka mogu maksimizirati efekti unapređenja energetske efikasnosti.
Teme koje ove sesije se odnose na:
- energetsku efikasnost i obnovljive izvore energije u industrijskom sektoru kao instrumenti za
ublažavanje negativnih uticaja rasta cena energije i energenata;
- potencijale unapređenja energetske efikasnosti u industrijskim sistemima za proizvodnju
energetskih fluida;
- primenu tipičnih strategija upravljanja pogonom sa sinhronim motorom sa stalnim magnetima u
cilju postizanja njegovih optimalnih performansi;
- analizu primene energetskih filtara i digitalne obrade signala kod aktivnih ispravlјača;
- upravljanje aktivnim ispravljačem kao virtuelnom sinhronom mašinom.

Moderator ove sesije je v.prof. Leposava Ristić a komoderator je v.prof. Mirjana Stamenić.

Energy consumption is constantly increasing. However, non-renewable energy sources are limited, and there
is less and less of it. Moreover, the last six months have shown that the energy market is volatile, so it is no
longer possible to predict the price of electricity, natural gas, and oil in the long term. The only sure thing is
that we can no longer count on cheap energy. In this sense, energy efficiency has become one of the central
topics of the energy policy of all developed countries. By using available high-efficiency technologies, it is
possible to achieve up to 20% energy savings, while an additional 10-15% can be achieved by

preventing waste and inefficient use of primary energy sources. The saved energy becomes a high-value
source.
This session is organized by a joint effort between the mechanical and electrical professions to point out
that the effects of improving energy efficiency can only be maximized through the cooperation of the
disciplines.

The topics in this session are related but not limited to:
- Energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in the industrial sector as instruments for
mitigating the negative effects of rising energy and energy prices;
- Potentials for improving energy efficiency in industrial utility systems;
- Application of typical permanent magnet synchronous motor drive control to achieve its optimal
performance;
- Analysis of the power filters implementation and digital signal processing in active rectifiers;
- Management of the active rectifier as a virtual synchronous machine.

The Moderator of this session is Leposava Ristić, associate professor, and the co-moderator is Mirjana
Stamenić, associate professor.

SOLVING THE NET-ZERO EMISSION EQUATION FOR INDUSTRY

Miodrag Mesarović, Akademija inženjerskih nauka Srbije

Abstract
Because the climate change is considered caused by the greenhouse gases added to the
atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution, developed countries are held
responsible for the harmful effects of climate change which generally hit the poor countries
first. World efforts so far resulted mainly in coordinated attempts to address climate change,
primarily through the nationally determined contributions that are updated at the regular
conferences of the parties to the UNFCCC. However, decisions on providing help by the reach
to the poor nations sounds like voluntary aid rather than a liability to compensate for unequal
rights for industrial growth. This becomes an overburden for the industry when solving its
own net-zero emission goal, in which the usual cost-benefit analysis makes the so-called net-
zero emissions equation practically unsolvable for the near- and mid-term. The report also
deals with the efforts by the industry to meet its assigned net-zero goal for the long-term.

USE OF NATURAL GAS IN SERBIA

Vojislav Vuletić, Udruženje za gas Srbije, Bulevar Mihajla Pupina 13, Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract
Serbia started using natural gas relatively late. Nevertheless, the development of the
gasification program has been correctly determined and is being implemented successfully,
but relatively slowly. Serbia does not have sufficient production capacities and quantities of
natural gas for its own needs and must rely on imports. Serbia's gasification program is
focused on the use of natural gas in industrial and mass consumption, as well as on the
production of electricity in cogeneration plants. Also, it is important to investigate, due to the
reduction of environmental pollution, the possibility of using natural gas to drive motor
vehicles, as well as for some other technological processes. The sharp rise in the price of
natural gas on the world market and the limited possibilities of supply require special
conditions and preparations for its procurement and use. Various offers of supplies to Serbia
from some other sources, or supplies of liquefied natural gas, are interesting and should be
carefully considered. The paper presents the possibilities of application and use of natural gas
in industry, utilities and general consumption, in combined steam-gas plants, as well as the
provision of the necessary quantities for its use.

КОРИШЋЕЊЕ ПРИРОДНОГ ГАСА У СРБИЈИ

Србија је релативно касно почела са коришћењем природног гаса. Но и поред тога
развој програма гасификације правилно је одређен и са успехом се спроводи, али
релативно споро. Србија нема довољне производне капацитете и количине природног
гаса за сопствене потребе и мора да се ослони на увоз. Програм гасификације Србије
усмерен је на коришћење природног гаса у индустријској и широкој потрошњи, као и за
производњу електричне енергије у когенерационом постројењима. Такође, важно је
истражити, због смањења загађења околине, могућност коришћења природног гаса за
погон моторних возила, као и за неке друге технолошке процесе. Нагли раст цена
природног гаса на светском тржишту и ограничене могућности снабдевања, захтевају
посебне услове и припреме за његову набавку и коришћење. Разне понуде снабдевања
Србије из неких других извора, или снабдевања течним природним гасом интересантне
су и треба их пажљиво размотрити. У раду су приказане могућности примене и
коришћења природног гаса у индустрији, комуналној и широкој потрошњи, у
комбинованим паро-гасним постројењима као и обезбеђење потребних количина за
његову употребу.

INVITED LECTURE: ONE SCENARIO FOR SERBIA'S DECARBONISATION

IN THE FIELD OF ENERGY PRODUCTION

Abstract
CO2 emissions induced climate change that started the transition from traditional fossil fuels
to renewables. Energiewende German say. Coal is hardly viewed as part of the energy mix
that is climate-friendly. Serbia used a lot of Black gold, and it was the backbone of the
country’s energy system. But times are changing. We have choice either to adopt or to have
problems. Serbia is part of the Energy Community and in EU accession talks. Serbia as a part
of the European electricity network is not independent in energy policies. In case of electricity
independence, then situations that occured in Texas during the winter storm Uri could repeat
and lead to serious problems in electricity supply and stability. Power plants in Serbia are not
obliged to pay for CO2 emission, but this can change. Trend in the world is that coal power
plants report impairments in their final yearly reports. Great number of coal power plants is
closed. One example is Moorburg power plant that is youngest and one of the most efficient
ones. Owner of the Moorburg is Swedish Vattenfall that was developing its own solution for
CCS tested in Schwarze pumpe power plant. But it decided not to apply CCS but to follow path
of decarbonisation and move to wind power and hydrogen storage. Serbia faces tough
choices. On the one hand there is a need for energy supply security and on the other are strict
rules accepted for power plants in frame of Energy Community. In the world a lot of coal
power projects has been canceled, but in Serbia one block is being developed, namely
Kostolac B3. One option is to invest more into renewables and into their research so that
there are more Made in Serbia products. Coal power plants can serve as a energy storage.
There are more then a few paths that can be implemented. In this case there will be no more
combustion, but almost all equipment would be in use. That means that people working in
these power plants would not lose their jobs and their acquired skills would be in full use. On
parallel path Serbian CCS solution should be developed. Our scientists have proven their
expertise on SO2 removal project that unfortunately did not pass from succesful pilot to
demostration phase. Future is in electrification, so heating should be also electricity oriented.
Like for example Berlin electricity boiler district heating, or even beter example is Esbjerg
where heating is going to be done from 2023 on by heating pumps that use wind electricity
and waste heat from sea water. All in all decarbonisation and electrification are the keywords
of the future. Now is the time to develop new solutions in these fields as market for these
products exists and is growing. Not to forget funding for these purposes is available.

Abstract
In electricity generating systems with high penetration of i-RES, the ability of change the
power on demand has increasing importance. Following recently published Ulrich’s and
Schiffer's approach with assured capacity; in this paper is defined term total assured capacity
and is further applied together with dispatchability indicator and possible duration of load
change to indicate dispatchability of Serbian power system (EPS). The results of the
performed analyses are presented. Total assured capacity appears as very sensitive indicator
and its numerical value changes significantly if, in the hypothetical case, one technology e.g.,
lignite fired power plants have to be substituted with the other technology like wind turbines.
An overview of participation different technologies for electricity generation within Serbian
power system is presented together with a comparison with German power system.
Numerical values of dispatchability factors for EPS’s fossil fueled power plants are presented
and discussed. It is underlined the necessity of a specific project study for EPS’s power plants
to be performed aimed to define real technology possibilities, limitations that are conditioned
by the quality of lignite, as well as the cost increase that arise in satisfying the needs to change
the power on demand in conditions determined by hypothetical increase of i-RES electricity
generation.

ENERGY-TIME FRAME PROCEDURE FOR COMPETITIVENESS

ASSESSMENT OF ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES

Vojin Grkovic, Miroslav Kljajić, University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Novi Sad,
Serbia
Vladimir Živković, Delta Engineering, Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract
Competitiveness of an energy technology is considered as ability of the energy technology to
compete other energy technologies. In the paper is presented a simple procedure for
competitiveness assessment of energy technologies in post transition. The idea is to define a
frame of overall energy quantity that is needed within predefined time span and to compare
effects of different energy technologies in the case of their application within the frame. For
the purpose of the comparison, a special 3Ee-t indicator is developed. Numerical value of the
indicator indicates the competitiveness of each energy technology selected for application
within energy-time frame. The procedure is exemplified with competitiveness assessment of
seven different energy technologies, i.e. existing technologies of hard coal and lignite fired
power plants, advanced technologies of hard coal and lignite fired power plants with CCS
technologies, natural gas fired CCGTs, nuclear power plants and wind turbines. Obtained
results are presented and discussed. The results point out that the most competitive is
nuclear power plants technology, followed by natural gas fired combined cycle gas turbines
technology. The energy-time frame procedure can be applied and for competitiveness
assessment of energy technologies during the period after technology transition, the period
that can be named as post-transition.

Abstract
The examples presented in this paper are in contrast to prevailing fossil fuel addiction
practices. Unfortunately, it is always easier to follow business as usual then to make U
turns/drastic changes. These PPMs of CO2 in atmosphere rising every day do not present
clear and imminent danger to many decision makers. Due to these failing policies, we are
reaching tipping points fast, when the changes in atmosphere are becoming exponential and
irreversible. These lessons are result of: out of the box thinking, fossil fuel freedom fighting,
perfect combination of imagination and engineering, moonshots, groundbreaking solutions,
game changers, "walk the talk approach", saturation with empty promises, finding and
applying the missing puzzles, decarbonization at the right moment, not waiting for disasters
to strike, for some next Uri-like winter storm, next stronger then Katrina hurricane, billion
dollar in damages flooding, or devastating droughts inducing continent-wide famines. This
paper describes selected occupants of hall of energy sustainability fame, where
unintentionally certainly some solutions, companies or countries are missed. So, this paper
virtually visits: Esbjerg (DK), Dronninglund (DK), Heerlen (NL), takes us to desert (AU),
mentions some innovative machines like HOFIM (DE), some innovative concepts like Virtual
power plants (US), highlights the strategy and results of one company Vattenfall (SE) and one
country Chile, talks how air that is all around us is going to be used as energy storage (ES),
and even is being used as a motive fluid in Dearman engine where no fuel is combusted (UK).

INVITED LECTURE: ENERGY EFFICIENCY AS A KEY DRIVER FOR

SUSTAINABLE GROWTH IN SMES IN INDUSTRIAL SECTOR IN SERBIA

Mirjana S. Stamenić, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department

for Process Engineering, Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract
In light of the post-Covid pandemic and the Ukraine crisis, electricity and natural gas have
become goods in high demand and prices. As a result, electricity and natural gas prices
reached their highest level, and trends show there is still uncertainty in price forecasting,
which leads us to conclude that the value of energy saved by applying energy efficiency
measures becomes much higher than the value of primary energy sources themselves.
Therefore, the concept of energy efficiency becomes a keyword in every speech to the public.
Since the first energy crisis back in the 1970’s energy efficiency has been introduced as a
critical term in solving the problem of limitations of fossil fuel sources. The second energy
crisis accelerated the introduction of new, more energy-efficient technologies and renewable
energy sources. Today, we have new challenges – an unfinished energy transition and an
artificially induced lack of energy sources like natural gas. The Republic of Serbia is among the
European countries with the highest energy intensity and is significantly dependent on fossil
fuels, especially coal. The energy intensity of Serbia (ratio between primary energy
consumption and the GDP) has been consistently higher than the EU member states and
other non-EU countries of Europe (2 to 3 times higher than in the neighboring EU countries
and up to 4 times higher than EU-15). In 2013 Serbia introduced an energy management
system (EnMenS). Through this system, significant final energy consumers are recognized and
obliged by Energy Efficiency Law to implement energy efficiency measures to reduce energy
consumption by at least 1% per annum. However, EnMenS do not recognize “small” energy
consumers, where small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) are categorized. The SMEs sector
in the Republic of Serbia accounted for 27.3 % of total active enterprises, employing 46.2 %
of employees in the non-financial sector and participating with 43.2 % in the GDP of the non-
financial sector. However, the distribution of the number of companies, employees, and their
economic activity is highly uneven, where the Belgrade region “carries” 45.8 % of activities in
the SME sector, Vojvodina 25.9 %, Šumadija and Western Serbia 18.4 % and Southern and
Eastern Serbia 9.8 %. SMEs are primarily concentrated in labor-intensive and service activities
- manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, construction, and transport. The manufacturing
industry dominates within the tradable sector - 17.1 % of companies, 28 % of employees, 21.1
% of turnover, and 24.7 % of GDP. It is dominated by sectors of lower complexity and lower
productivity (labor and resource-intensive activities). During 2021 energy audits in ten
selected SMEs of the production sector were performed. The primary purpose was to support
SMEs in improving the efficient use of energy and reducing costs and emissions, directly
contributing to the competitiveness of the Serbian industrial sector and awareness raising in
the energy efficiency field. However, although there is a high potential for energy savings in
Serbian SMEs, there are several barriers: - SMEs are not aware of energy-saving

engineering

Abstract
In energy-intensive industries such as foundries, ironworks, chemical plants, refineries, etc.
significant amounts of waste heat are generated in the form of cooling water, with the
temperature usually in the range of 25 to 40°C. In cases where the waste heat is of a low
temperature, insufficient for direct use, it can be used rationally by applying a heat pump that
uses low-potential waste heat from the industrial process as a heat source, for the
preparation of hot water for heating, sanitary hot water, technological hot water consumers
or some other purpose. This paper presents the results of techno-economic analysis on the
example of the application of high-temperature heat pumps for the utilization of waste heat
in industry. In the paper several different sources of waste heat with different characteristics
in terms of flow rate, water temperature and operation mode are analyzed. The results of the
analysis showed that the application of heat pumps with a nominal heat output of 295 and
2x390 kW, at a temperature regime of 80/30°C and a COP of 3 is justified, with a simple
payback period of the investment at approximately 4 years.

Abstract
Pri preradi nafte i naftnih derivata u rafinerijama za potrebe proizvodnih pogona i pomoćnih
postrojenja troši se relativno velika količina toplotne energije. Njena potrošnja se može
smanjiti primenom različitih tehničko-tehnoloških rešenja i organizacionih mera. Jedno od
najčešće primenjivanih rešenja je korišćenje otpadne toplote koja se produkuje u energetskim
i procesnim rafinerijskim postrojenjima. Korišćenje otpadne toplote koja nastaje pri preradi
nafte i naftnih derivata može se u značajnoj meri uticati na smanjenje potrošnje toplotne
energije prilikom odvijanja proizvodnog procesa u rafinerijama. U radu su prezentovana
iskustva i konkretni rezultati koji se postižu korišćenjem otpadne toplote u rafinerijama.
Korišćenjem otpadne toplote smanjuje se potrošnja goriva za proizvodnju toplotne energije,
a ujedno i količina gasova koji se emituju u atmosferu.

Abstract
The goal of paper is to present several different methods of wood drying and their
performance analysis. The emphasis is on performance in terms of energy usage, but work
also contains financial analysis. First part of work contains general information about wood
drying including moisture in wood, drying process, several different drying methods working
principle, and some unconventional measures used to improve drying process. Analysis is
applied on two different wood types (beech and pine), combining two different board
thickness (24 mm and 50 mm). One of the best indicators of wood drying performance is
“SMER” (specific moisture extraction rate) which represents ratio of removed moisture mass
expressed in kg to used energy expressed in kWh. Drying wood in open air (natural air drying)
has a big advantage in being almost “free” in terms of energy consumption, but it also has big
flaws regarding minimal achievable moisture content (20 – 30%), and long drying periods (80
to 300 days compared to several days to several weeks of kiln drying time). In analysed cases,
final moisture content is set to 10%, which is unachievable by natural drying. For that reason,
natural pre-drying (wood is dried naturally before kiln drying which lowered initial moisture
content from 64% to 30%) is analysed as an option to all variations, with all its flaws.
Conventional kiln drying cases were analysed using firewood, natural gas, and wood pellet as
fuel, with and without natural pre-drying. Also, cases with heat pump assisted kiln were
analysed with and without natural pre-drying. Every drying process is divided in 4 phases:
initial heating, active drying, moisture equalising and conditioning. Important parameters for
each phase and for each case were analysed. Finally comparative results for each of the cases
were shown including: gross consumed energy for one drying cycle, unit energy cost
necessary for producing one cubic meter of final product, share of energy cost in overall
production cost, SMER for each case, and profit in 1-, 2-, and 5-years period. Result have
shown that in terms of energy usage most demanding is 50 mm thick beech drying in
conventional kiln using firewood, and least demanding is 24 mm pine heat pump assisted
drying with natural pre-drying. Comparation of SMER for each case has shown clear
advantage of heat pump assisted drying methods compared to conventional kiln drying.
Results of profit analysis have shown big disadvantage of pre-dried methods in the first year
of running, but also a big advantage in second and especially fifth year of running.

Циљ рада је представљање неколико различитих метода сушења дрвета и анализа

њихових перформанси. Посебан акценат анализе је на енергетским перформансама,
али је урађена и економска анализа. Уводни део рада се бави општом тематиком
сушења дрвета, где су дефинисани основни појмови везани за влагу у дрвету, сушење,
принцип рада неколико начина сушења, као и неке неконвенционалне мере за

унапређење процеса сушења. Анализа је примењена на две врсте дрвета (буква и бор)
дебљина 24 mm и 50 mm. Један од битних показатеља енергетске ефикасности сушења
је “SMER” (eng. specific moisture extraction rate), који представља однос масе издвојене
влаге из дрвета, изражене у kg и укупно искоришћене енергије за процес изражене у
kWh. Сушење дрвета у атмосферским условима (природно сушење) има велику
предност у томе што је у енергетском смислу готово „бесплатно“, али и велике
недостатке у погледу ограничења минимално достижне влажности (20-30%) и што сам
процес дуго траје (80 до 300 дана у поређењу са периодом од неколико дана до
неколико недеља у случају сушења у сушари). У анализираним процесима сушења,
задата крајња влажност дрвета је 10%, па самим тим процес природног сушења ни не
би могао до краја да испуни задатак. Због тога је природно сушење за сваку од
наведених варијанти анализирано као опција за фазу сушења која претходи сушењу у
сушари, односно анализирана је корист смањивања почетне влажности са 64% на 30%
уз све наведене недостатке. Анализирано је неколико различитих метода сушења обе
врсте дрвета, обе дебљине и то у конвенционалној сушари коришћењем огревног
дрвета, природног гаса и пелета као погонских горива, са претходним природним
сушењем и без њега, као и у сушари са топлотном пумпом са претходним природним
сушењем и без њега. Сваки процес сушења се одвија у 4 фазе: загревања, активног
сушења, изједначавања и кондиционирања. Анализирани су параметри за сваку од фаза
и за сваки наведени случај. На крају, упоредно су анализирани следећи резултати:
укупно утрошена енергија за један циклус сушења за сваку од варијанти, јединични
трошкови набавке енергената потребних за производњу једног m3 осушене грађе, удео
трошкова енергетике у укупним производним трошковима, “SMER” коефицијент за
сваку од варијанти, као и остварене добити у периоду од 1, 2 и 5 година рада
постројења. Резултати су показали да је са аспекта коришћења енергије најнеповољније
дрво букве дебљине 50 mm сушено у конвенционалној сушари са огревним дрветом као
погонским горивом, а најповољније сушење бора дебљине 24 mm у сушари са
топлотном пумпом са претходним природним сушењем. Са аспекта јединичних
трошкова за набавку енергената за сушење је најнеповољније сушење дрвета букве
дебљине 50 mm са пелетом као погонским горивом, а најповољније сушење бора
дебљине 24 mm у конвенционалној сушари са природним гасом као погонским
горивом, са претходним природним сушењем. Када се упоређује “SMER” коефицијент,
сушаре са топлотном пумпом имају изражену предност у односу на конвенционалне
сушаре. Анализом остварене добити у пословању, сушење у сушари са претходним
природним сушењем у првој години пословања даје најлошије резултате, али после
две, а нарочито после 5 година пословања има евидентну предност у односу на методе
без претходног природног сушења.

Abstract
The set of measurements were performed on an industrial air compressor, with a nominal
power of 30 kW. Based on the measured values, an analysis of the working parameters of the
air compression system was performed. The measured parameters are electrical power,
temperature of cooling and compressed air and volumetric flow rate of cooling air. Based on
the measured values, an assessment of system efficiency parameters, and a comparison of
parameters with similar systems was performed. After analyzing the system parameters, the
potential measures for improving the energy efficiency of the air compressed system are
listed. The following improvement measure was analyzed in detail: installation of a compact
plate heat exchanger (working medium - water, oil) for cooling heated oil and simultaneously
heating sanitary water. This measure reduces annual costs by 1.050 KM and reduces
emissions by 5 tCO2/a. Therefore, the introduction of this measure will improve the system's
energy indicators and will results in the reduction of the energy consumption and energy
costs.

Abstract
Due to growing requirements for renewable energy sources integration into power system
with the aim of its decentralization, the use of power converters is constantly increasing.
There is also a greater number of applications in industry with controlled electrical drives that
include power converters owing to realization of complex production processes demands.
Consequently, there are new emerging problems with power grid regarding stability, voltage
quality, current distortion and energy efficiency. To eliminate some of mentioned drawbacks,
different power converters control algorithms exists, which can provide unity power
operation and sinusoidal grid currents with harmonics content according to standards. The
negative impact of the power converters use is negligible with their small share in the power
grid. But, the growing presence of these devices with typical control techniques lead to
changed situation in power systems considering variable inertia and frequency, what was not
the traditional system characteristic. Power plants in those systems implied synchronous
generators with constant rotor inertia and with a damper winding. Consequently, a great
number of emerging problems could be overcome by increasing inertia and damping in
transient processes in the power grid. One of the approaches to implement the mentioned
properties of a synchronous machine in a decentralized system is the application of a new
control concept, the control of the power converter as a virtual synchronous machine, which
is based on the mathematical model of the synchronous machine. In this way, power
converters, although actually static devices, acquire the characteristics of a rotating machine.
Unlike power converters with current controllers which act as current generators, a virtual
synchronous machine, like a classical machine, acts as a voltage source. The paper analysis
active rectifier controlled as virtual synchronous machine. With this control method, the
voltage on the DC side is maintained at the constant value and the reactive power is
controlled, thus providing a unit power factor operation of the power control. Synchronous
machine modeling, as well as modeling of active rectifier with emulated inertia and damper
winding is presented in the paper. Comparative study of results of simulations on developed
dynamical models in both cases is conducted, with the derived conclusions. Key words: active
rectifier, virtual synchronous machine, synchronous generator, energy efficiency, renewable
energy sources

Energetski pretvarači se sve češće koriste usled povećanih potreba za integracijom obnovljivih
izvora energije u elektroenergetski sistem sa ciljem njegovog decentralizovanja. Takođe je
učestala njihova upotreba i u industriji u regulisanim elektromotornim pogonima, u cilju
povećanja energetske efikasnosti i realizacije složenih zahteva proizvodnih procesa. Kao
posledica, javljaju se novi problemi stabilnosti mreže, kvaliteta napona, izobličenja

talasnog oblika stuje i faktora korisnog dejstva. Metode za otklanjanje nekih od navedenih
nedostataka zasnivaju se na korišćenju odgovorajaćih algoritama upravljanja energetskim
pretvaračima, kojima se može obezbediti jedinični faktor snage i oblik stuje čiji je harmonijski
sastav u propisanim granicama. Pri malom udelu u mreži, negativan uticaj primene
energetskih pretvarača je zanemarljiv. Međutim, pri povećanju prisustva ovih uređaja sa
standardnim upravljanjem, situacija u elektroenergetskom sistemu se menja u pogledu
promenljivosti inercije i učestanosti, što nije bila karakteristika tradicionalnih sistema. U ovim
sistemima su se u elektranama koristili sinhroni generatori sa nepromenljivom inercijom
rotora i prigušnim namotajem. U skladu s tim, veliki broj novonastalih problema bi se mogao
prevazići povećanjem inercije i prigušenja u prelaznim procesima u elektroenergetskoj mreži.
Jedan od načina za implementaciju navedenih svojstava sinhrone mašine u
decentralizovanom sistemu jeste primena novog koncepta upravljanja, upravljanje
energetskim pretvaračem kao virtuelnom sinhronom mašinom, koje se zasniva na
matematičkom modelu sinhrone mašine. Na taj način energetski pretvarači, iako zapravo
statički uređaji, dobijaju osobine obrtne mašine. Za razliku od pretvarača kod kojih je
implementirana regulacija struje i koji predstavlaju stujni generator, virtuelna sinhrona
mašina, poput klasične mašine, predstavlja naponski izvor. U radu je razmatran aktivni
ispravljač upravljan kao virtuelna sinhrona mašina. Ovim načinom upravljanja održava se
napon na jednosmernoj strani na zadatoj vrednosti i vrši se regulacija reaktivne snage, čime
se može obezbediti jedinični faktor snage. Prikazano je modelovanje sinhrone mašine, kao i
aktivnog ispavljača sa emuliranom inercijom i prigušnim namotajem. Dato je poređenje
rezultata simulacija na razvijenim modelima u oba slučaja i izvedeni su odgovarajući zaključci
na osnovu sprovedene analize.

ANALIZA PRIMENE ENERGETSKIH FILTARA I DIGITALNE OBRADE

SIGNALA KOD AKTIVNOG ISPRAVLJAČA

Abstract
Kvalitet električne energije predstavlja jednu od značajnijih oblasti u elektro-energetici, koja
je postala naročito aktuelna sa naglim porastom zastupljenosti energetskih pretvarača u
industriji i domaćinstvima. Ovi uređaji predstavljaju nelinearne potrošače koji unose neželjeni
sadržaj viših harmonika u sastav mrežne struje i napona. Aktivni ispravljač, kao energetski
pretvarač, u sebi sadrži tranzistore koji svojim komutacijama dovode do negativnih efekata u
harmonijskom sastavu mrežne struje, a koji postaju još izraženiji ukoliko se ispravljač napaja
mrežnim naponom koji nije prostoperiodičan. Visok sadržaj harmonika u linijskoj struji stvara
niz problema u distributivnim sistemima, poput:
• izobličenja napona i elektromagnetne interferencije (EMI), koji utiču na druge uređaje
u distributivnom sistemu;
• smanjene vrednosti faktora snage potrošača;
• otežanog rada upravljačkih kola drugih elektronskih uređaja u distributivnom sistemu.
Za razliku od diodnih i tiristorskih, kod aktivnih ispravljača se komutacije dešavaju sa
daleko većim vrednostima učestanosti, što im i daje glavnu prednost u odnosu na
mrežom vođene ispravljače.
Prednosti koje takva topologija pruža su:
• rad sa ukupnim (pravim) faktorom snage vrlo bliskim jedinici;
• mogućnost vraćanja celokupne regenerisane energije u mrežu;
• sinusoidalni talasni oblik ulazne (mrežne) struje i u motornom i u generatorskom
(regenerativnom) režimu rada.
Kao obavezan sastavni deo konfiguracije sa aktivnim ispravljačem koristi se energetski LCL
filtar za eleminaciju harmonika na učestanostima komutacije i njenih celobrojnih umnožaka.
On predstavlja bitan element u pogledu očuvanju kvaliteta mrežne struje, zbog čega je u radu
prikazan detaljan postupak za njegovo pravilno projektovanje. Svaka distorzija mrežnog
napona, čak i u granicama dozvoljene, negativno utiče na harmonijski sadržaj linijskih struja.
U ovom radu je modelovan aktivni ispravljač koji se napaja naponom iz realnog izvora, a koji
u sebi sadrži više harmonike u standardom definisanim granicama, sa ciljem da se primenom
energetskih filtara i digitalne obrade signala postigne da ulazna struja u ispravljač bude što
približnija sinusoidi. Rezultati simulacija na modelu aktivnog ispravljača sa primenjenim LCL
filtrom, za koji je detaljno prikazana metoda izbora parametara sa jasnim opisom kriterijuma
za njihov izbor, potvrdili su očekivano smanjenje harmonijskog sadržaja struje sa mrežne i
ispravljačke strane.

PRIMENA TIPIČNIH STRATEGIJA UPRAVLJANJA POGONOM SA

SINHRONIM MOTOROM SA STALNIM MAGNETIMA U CILJU
POSTIZANJA OPTIMALNIH PERFORMANSI

fakultet

Abstract
Sinhroni motori sa stalnim magnetima (PMSM) imaju sve češću primenu u regulisanim
elektromotornim pogonima, pre svega zbog veće energetske efikasnosti u odnosu na druge
motore. Imaju veliku gustinu snage, dobar prenos toplote i povoljne upravljačke
karakteristike, zbog čega se pored ostalih aplikacije koriste i u servopogonima. Razlikuju se
prema načinu ugradnje stalnih magneta u magnetsko kolo rotora. Način ugradnje znatno
utiče na parametre motora. Sinhroni motori sa stalnim magnetima utisnutim u rotor (IPMSM)
pripada grupi motora sa unutrašnjom montažom stalnih magneta i ove motore karakterišu
različite vrednosti induktivnosti po uzdužnoj i poprečnoj osi. Princip projektovanja ovog tipa
motora ukratko je objašnjen u prvom delu rada. Pri projektovanju su korišćene analitičke
relacije za proračun dimenzija i parametara motora, a zatim je vršena verifikacija dobijene
geometrije pomoću odgovarajućih softverskih alata. Najzastupljeniji način upravljanja
pogonom sa sinhronim motorom sa stalnim magnetima je vektorsko upravljanje. Primenom
dodatnih strategije upravljanja koje se zasnivaju na vektorskom upravljanju mogu se ostvariti
zahtevane performanse pogona. U radu su analizirane četiri strategije upravljanja pogonom
sa sinhronim motorom sa stalnim magnetima i to: - upravljanje pri konstantnom uglu
momenta; - upravljanje pri jediničnom faktoru snage; - upravljanje pri konstantnoj vrednosti
fluksa u zazoru mašine; - upravljanje pri optimalnom odnosu momenta i struje. Ova četiri
načina upravljanja su implementirana na detaljno razvijenom modelu pogona koristeći
parametre prethodno projektovanog sinhronog motora. Predstavljeni su rezultati simulacija,
na osnovu kojih je izvršena uporedna analiza razmatranih strategija upravljanja u cilju
postizanja boljih performansi pogona. Izveden je zaključak o uticaju parametara ovog tipa
motora na radne karakteristike pogona, kao i na mogućnost rada pogona u režimu slabljenja
polja.

Abstract
Energetska efikasnost je poslednjih godina dobila na značaju, posebno kada je došlo do
značajnih promena na tržištu energijom i energentima. Kada se uporede vrednosti iz 2008. i
2022., cena električne energije se gotovo udvostručila (podaci EuroStat-a). Tokom poslednjih
nekoliko decenija sve je aktuelnija proizvodnja „čiste“ električne energije iz obnovljivih izvora
energije-OIE, međutim potpun prelazak na proizvodnju električne energije iz OIE nije izvestan
u bliskoj budućnosti. U radu je analizirana mogućnost za povećanje energetske efikasnosti na
primeru jednog industrijskog postrojenja gde je sproveden kratak energetski pregled.
Predložene su mere za unapređenje energetske efikasnosti i urađena je jednostavna analiza
njihove finansijske isplativost. Mere za unapređenje energetske efikasnosti koje su prikazane
u ovom radu se, pre svega, odnose na smanjenje harmonijskog sastava u talasnim oblicima
napona i struje, čime se smanjuju gubici kako u prenosu električne energije, tako i u njenoj
eksploataciji. Velika pažnja u radu je posvećena i kompenzaciji reaktivne energije, koja
predstavlja veoma važan faktor u povećanju energetske efikasnosti. Dodatno, u radu je
analizirana mogućnost izgradnje solarne elektrane sa ciljem povećanja energetske efikasnosti
celokupnog postrojenja. Izabrani su solarni paneli, način i mesto za njihovo postavljanje,
dimenzionisan je invertor i izračunata je potencijalna proizvodnja električne energije. Takođe
je detaljno analizirano rukovanje „viškom“ proizvedene energije u skladu sa poznatim
parametrima postrojenja (mogućnost korišćenja baterija za skladištenje energije).

The paper presents the main results of an energy audit in a selected industrial company.
Particular focus was on the analysis of data on energy consumption and calculation of KPI
regarding the EE. In addition, we analyzed the possibility of installing a PV solar power plant

INVITED LECTURE: THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR VELOCIMETRY

AND POSSIBILITIES FOR IT IN SERBIA

Đorđe S. Čantrak, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Hydraulic

Machinery and Energy Systems Department, Laboratory for turbulence and velocimetry,
Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract
Velocimetry has a long tradition in Serbia. Anyhow, constant improvement of the laboratories
calibration and measurement capabilities (CMC) is an ongoing effort. Serbia, although it has
good capabilities in this field, still doesn’t have a national standard for velocimetry. Reliable
velocimetry is a starting point in various sectors of energy production, numerous industrial
branches, health, educational, business and sport centers, as well as in residential buildings,
and etc. Realization of this national standard would influence and improve national industry
capabilities, energy efficiency in general, health and environmental protection procedures,
climate analysis, forecasts and hydrology. Various international and national standards treat
velocimetry, especially, as a tool in determination of the flow rate in closed conduits and open
channels. This opens a whole new area of validation of the volume flow rate calibration in
laboratory, as well as in situ. In this paper will be presented novel velocimetry techniques and
their capabilities implemented in the Laboratory for turbulence and velocimetry at the
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Here are presented following measurement techniques:
multihole probes, hot-wire anemometry, laser Doppler velocimetry (three-component) and
image-based velocimetry techniques (particle image velocimetry (PIV) and micro PIV). In the
Laboratory are implemented stereo PIV and high speed stereo PIV. In addition to this,
constant upgrading of the existing systems is followed by the development of the new
techniques and procedures. These complex measurement techniques are employed in
research of various flow phenomena, what will be presented in short.

Abstract
Ball valves are one of the most commonly used valves in a wide variety of industrial
applications. In this paper it is presented how the characteristics of the ball valve Giacomini
R850 were experimentally and numerically determined. The experiment is carried out by
simultaneously measuring the pressure drop between the measuring sections and the
volume flow rate. The experiment is performed for 7 valves positions, i.e. for 7 different
values of the valve angle in the range from 5º to 50º. After the experimental investigation,
numerical simulations of water flow through the ball valve are performed. Numerical
calculations are done by using OpenFOAM software. The Reynolds statistical approach (RANS)
is used for treating turbulence. The turbulent viscosity is modeled by the standard k-ɛ
turbulent model, and the SIMPLE algorithm is used as a numerical procedure for solution of
RANS equations. In the numerical simulations, three different valve angles are analyzed (5º,
10º and 15º). For each position of valve, there are 6 cases with different volume flow rates in
the range from 0.6 to 1.3 lit/s that are examined. Finally, experimental and numerical results
are compared for three valve positions. It is concluded that the performed numerical
simulations successfully predict the pressure drop on the valve, i.e. they successfully
determine the characteristics of the considered ball valve. Keywords: Ball valve, turbulence,

Abstract
Control valves have numerous applications like in natural gas control and transport (as anti
surge and recycle valves, hot/cold bypass valves, throttling valves, degasser flow/level control
valves), natural gas treatment for dehydration and desulphuring (TEG injection, flashing drum
pressure control, amine pump recirculation control valves), LNG processing (gas/steam to
vent valves, blowdown and depressing valves), refineries and petrochemical (charge pump
recycle valves, blowdown control valves, emergency vent valves, amine pump recycle valves),
ethylene plants (feed-pump recycle valve, blowdown and gas to vent/flare valves, steam
conditioning and desuperheating, compressor recycle) and etc. Valve trim is consisted of cage
or dick stack, plug, stem and seat. Size from app. 15.88 mm (0.625 in) up to 101.6 mm (4 in)
is suitable for 3D metal print, what is presented in this paper. Selective laser melting 3D metal
printing is applied on the disc presented in this paper. Even better material properties from
rest of the valve parts could be obtained. This is of great importance for valve retrofitting. In
this paper is presented, also new developed channel geometry, what is followed by various
fluid flow phenomena. Here is shown, in short, procedure for determination of KV-Values of
the test valves according to the EN 60534-2-3, Industrial-process control valves - Part 2-3:

NEINVAZIVNA SANACIJA OŠTEĆENIH CEVOVODA U VODOVODNIM

SISTEMIMA

Aleksandar Stojanović, ARMAS

Abstract
Cilj ovog rada je da prikaže primere iz prakse nekih od složenijih problema u vodovodnim
sistemima, kao i načine neinvazivnog otklanjanja istih, na što slikovitiji način, korišćenjem
rešenja iz proizvodnog programa ARMAS, a u nadi da će biti od pomoći svima u otklanjanju
istih ili sličnih problema kada se sa njima susretnu. Rad je prevashodno baziran na raznim
problemima koji nastaju usled procurivanja cevi, kao i usled pucanja cevi na dužinama manjim
od 1m, budući da se za pucanja na većim dužinama od navedene mora zameniti oštećeni deo
cevovoda novim. Iako se u održavanju i rekonstrukciji cevovodnih sistema gotovo svaki
problem može iskomplikovati i pokazati jako složenim, cilj ovog rada je da prikaže neke od
primera za koje nije bilo rešenja u postojećoj ponudi proizvoda na tržištu i za koje je ARMAS
izradio nove i inovativne proizvode kako bi problemi bili brzo i uspešno otklonjeni, uz osnovni
cilj da ne dođe do isključivanja potrošača i sečenja cevi.

Science and Technology, Kolbjørn Hejes vei 1 B, Trondheim 7491, Norway

Abstract
The study aimed to show in a systematic way possible energy efficiency measures that would
decrease the total energy use at the university campus in Trondheim, Norway. The entire
study was developed in close collaboration with the NTNU Property and Technical
Management divisions, meaning that suggested energy efficiency scenarios and other
assumptions were highly relevant. The study was a part of feasibility study for campus
development. Currently, the campus floor area is about 300 000 m2 and consists of buildings
combining offices, lecturing halls, study halls, and laboratories. The campus building stock has
been built from 1910 to 2002. To perform this study, building performance simulation and
material flow analysis method were combined. Reference building models for each university
cohort were developed based on the methodology for defining the reference buildings. The
material flow analysis model was utilized to aggregate the outputs from the building
simulation and evaluate global effects of energy efficiency measures. The results of the single
reference building analyses showed that a decrease of up to 50% in heating energy use might
be achieved by increasing efficiency of the ventilation system and by decreasing the
temperature of the heating system. The results showed that in spite of building stock growth,
the estimated energy use would decrease from 2017 to 2050 by 10% for the standard
renovation rate, and by 26% for the combination of ambitious renovation and technical
improvements.

THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE FOR DATA CENTRE WASTE HEAT

RECOVERY IN DISTRICT HEATING SYSTEMS

Haoran Li, Juan Hou, Natasa Nord, Department of Energy and Process Technology,
Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Kolbjørn Hejes vei 1 B, Trondheim 7491,
Norway

Abstract
A single data centre may consume as much electricity as a small city. Most of this electricity
use will be converted into waste heat that is emitted into the environment. Recent studies
have found that there is tremendous potential for using data centre waste heat for district
heating (DH). Meanwhile, pilot projects being conducted around Europe have demonstrated
the technical and financial feasibility of this concept. However, using data centre waste heat
for DH systems still has a lot of space for improvement. Firstly, temporal mismatches between
the data centre waste heat supply and DH heat demand usually exist. These mismatches
result in surplus waste heat, which still needs to be emitted into the environment. Secondly,
DH systems usually use fossil fuels to cover peak heat demand, meaning higher operating
costs and more emissions at peak hours. To achieve better economic and environmental
performance, the non-dispatchable waste heat supply should be shifted for peak load
shaving. This article aimed to solve these problems by introducing thermal energy storage
(TES). Three TES solutions were proposed, including a short-term water tank TES, a seasonal
borehole TES, and both the short-term water tank and seasonal borehole TES, respectively.
Detailed Modelica models were developed for these TES scenarios and a reference scenario
before introducing any TES. The proposed method was tested on a campus DH system in
Norway. Results showed that the water tank could shave the peak load by 31% and save the
annual energy cost by 5%. The payback period was lower than 15 years when the storage
efficiency remained higher than 80%. However, it had no obvious benefits in terms of
mismatch relief. In contrast, the borehole TES increased the waste heat utilization rate to
96%. However, the payback period was more than 17 years.

Abstract
The combined production of electricity and thermal energy (CHP or cogeneration) is the most
efficient and convenient approach to reduce costs for energy at industrial power plants and
district heating plants that use natural gas as fuel in order to produce thermal energy for
various needs. In this paper the operational characteristics of the CHP plant, which has been
operating since January 1, 2021 at the Voždovac Heating Plant as part of the Belgrade district
heating system are analyzed. The CHP plant consists of three gas engine unites with a total
nominal electric power of 10 MW and a thermal power of 10.1 MW, which use natural gas as
fuel. The CHP plant is used for district heating purposes and the preparation of domestic hot
water (DHW) while electricity is sold to the local electric grid. The emphasis of the analysis in
this paper is on the operational characteristics of the plant: the number of working hours, the
total energy consumption and energy production, the efficiency as well as the operational
and maintenance costs. Also, the impact of the drastic changes in the prices of natural gas,
electricity and maintenance costs in the last year on the financial profitability of the CHP plant
was analyzed in particular.

Abstract
Apstrakt Savremene akvizicione tehnologije za neinvazivnu detekciju objekata podzemne
infrastrukture često se kombinuju kako bi se nedostaci jedne tehnologije nadomestili drugom.
U ovom radu analiziraju se prednosti integrisanog skeniranja kombinujući termalnu kameru
montiranu na bespilotnu letelicu i tehnologiju skeniranja georadarom. Analiza je izvršena na
primeru toplovodne infrastrukture za deo kampusa u Novom Sadu. Trasa toplovoda jednim
delom položena je u betonski kanal različitih dimenzija iznad koje se nalazi sloj zemlje, dok je
ostatak položen u zemljani rov zasut peskom. Primenom termalne kamere montirane na
bespilotnu letelicu obezbeđuje se brzo mapiranje objekta od interesa. Na osnovu ovih
podataka mogu se locirati kritične zone objekta od interesa u vidu curenja kao i izvršiti potvrda
validnosti podataka sa podlogama iz katastra vodova. Detaljna inspekcija prethodno
registrovanih zona vrši se tehlogijom skeniranja georadarom, na osnovu koje se obezbeđuje
identifikaciju geometrijskih karakteristika toplovodne infrastrukture, registracija oštećenja i
slično. Skeniranje georadarom izvršeno je koristeći antene centralnih frekvencija 200, 400 i

Modern acquisition technologies for non-invasive detection of underground infrastructure

facilities are often combined to compensate for the shortcomings of each technology. In this
paper the advantages of integrated scanning by combining a thermal camera mounted on an
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) are analyzed. The
analysis was performed on the example of district heating infrastructure for a part of the
University campus in Novi Sad. The route of the district heating pipeline was partialy laid in a
concrete channel of various dimensions, above which there was a layer of soil, while the rest
was laid in an earthen trench covered with sand. The use of a thermal camera mounted on a
UAV provides a quick mapping of the object of interest. Based on these data, critical zones of
the object of interest in the form of leaks can be located, as well as the validity of data in
cadastral plans can be confirmed. Detailed inspection of previously registered zones is then
performed by using GPR scanning technology. This provided data such as geometric
characteristics of district heating infrastructure, registration of damage, etc. GPR scanning
was performed using antennas of 200, 400, and 900MHz central frequencies. The final part
of the paper presents the advantages of non-invasive detection of district heating
infrastructure by combining active and passive sensors with a UAV.

Abstract
The Peltier or thermoelectric effect has been known for more than a century, but it has found
adequate commercial application only in recent decades. Of course, one of the reasons is the
price, because the use of low-efficiency thermoelectric modules can only be justified by the
low price of the product. The aim of this paper is an experimental analysis of the possibility
of using thermoelectric modules for heating a building using renewable energy sources. It is
not necessary that the energy generator for the thermoelectric module is solar energy, but
the concept of the system is to work without freon and without negative and harmful effects
on the environment. The preparation of energy from renewable energy sources that will be
used in freon refrigeration devices is lacking precisely because of the working means that
must be reduced by 2030. Solar heating is not justified without solar cooling, due to the fact
that there are adequate solutions for solar heating and preparation of hot water, but it is
studied here to combine as a complete solution of thermal comfort in the room together with
cooling. The experiment was designed so that the Peltier element was positioned on the heat
exchangers and the measurement of the input current and all temperatures was performed.
The heat exchanger, as well as the space that simulates the living room of a residential
building, is scaled by dimensional analysis due to the cost of installation. Measurements are
made primarily for the element itself and then with heat exchangers on both sides of the
element. A detailed mathematical model of heat transfer was made in order to analyze the
dimension of the heat exchanger, while a more detailed analysis of the shape of the heat
exchanger and optimization of the number of modules are planned in the future. The system
is designed with a module built into the wall of the building, where it is necessary to measure
indoor and outdoor air temperatures, surface temperatures of the Peltier module and heat
exchangers at several points, as well as input voltage and input current that generate
temperature difference on the module. The paper primarily defines the thermoelectric effect
and the Peltier element throughout history, and then the justification for the use of this
system for heating the building by analyzing previous research. Due to the comfort in the
space, the heat exchange was analyzed by natural convection, that is, without additional fans.

Abstract
U cilju obezbjeđivanja sigurnosti, pouzdanosti i dobrih performansi projektovanog sistema,
neophodno je sprovoditi analize hidrauličkih prelaznih procesa izazvanih dvofaznim
strujanjem zarobljenog vazduha i vode u cijevnim sistema pod pritiskom. Dvofazna strujanja
sa interakcijom zarobljenog vazduha i vode javljaju se u industrijskim sistemima, kao što su
hidroelektrane, pumpne stanice, distributivni vodovodni i kanalizacioni sistemi, itd. U
hidrauličkim sistemima vazduh se uglavnom može nalaziti u vidu nepokretnih džepova ili
pokretnih mjehurića, koji u zavisnosti od njihove veličine i lokacije, kao i, konfiguracije cjevnog
sistema, mogu stvoriti ozbiljne smetnje u radu. Kompleksno kretanje vazdušnog džepa uslijed
interakcije sa vodom, kao i nepredvidivo ponašanje dodirne površine (interfejsa) između ova
dva fluida, čine ove hidrauličke procese veoma teškim i izazovnim za numeričko simuliranje,
pa je za ozbiljnije analize primjena višefaznih modela obavezna. U ovom radu, primjenom
računske dinamike fluida (CFD) sa modelom zapremine fluida (VOF), izvršiće se numeričko
modeliranje, eksperimentalno istraživanje i simulacija prelaznih procesa izazvanih dvofaznim
strujanjem vazduha i vode tokom brzog punjenja horizontalne cijevi za različite početne
uslove, tj. različite veličine vazdušnih džepova, vrijednosti početnog pogonskog pritiska i
dimenzija otvora na kraju posmatranog sistema. Cilj ovog istraživanja je sagledavanje
fenomena koji se javljaju uslijed brzog punjenja cijevi, uključujući fizičko razumijevanje nagle
promjene pritiska u cijevnim sistemima koji sadrže zarobljeni vazduh.

Abstract
A representative assessment of the combustion plant's impact on air quality is the basis for
making decisions both in the design phase of the plant itself or its parts and for defining spatial
planning and strategic decisions. Given that dispersion models represent a mathematical
expression of the synergy of atmospheric processes, relief and characteristics of emitters, the
main problem in their use is the type, amount and accuracy of data that are required to obtain
sufficiently reliable results through a specific model. The paper presents the basic principles
of modeling as well as examples of results for different combustion plants.

Reprezentativna procena uticaja termoenergetskog postrojenja na kvalitet vazduha
predstavlja osnov za donošenje odluka kako u fazi projektovanja samog postrojenja ili
njegovih delova tako i za definisanje prostorno-planerskih i strateških odluka. Obzirom da
disperzioni modeli predstavljaju matematički izraz sinergije atmosferskih procesa, reljefa i
karakteristika emitera, osnovni problem kod njihovog korišćenja je vrsta, količina i tačnost
podataka koji su potrebni da bi se putem određenog modela dobili dovoljno pouzdani
rezultati. U radu su prikazani osnovni principi modelovanja kao i primeri rezultata za različita

Abstract
Abstract: Hydrogen is a very important energy carrier which can make a decisive contribution
to the future energy transition. It may be produced using several technologies, may be stored
and transported in several ways. It may be used to cover different energy needs, like
transportation, power and heat generation, iron ore reduction etc. Nowadays well over 90%
of existing Hydrogen on the market is “grey”, i.e. obtained from primary fossil fuels with
accompanying high CO2 emissions. If the carbon dioxide produced during the steam
reforming of Methane is subsequently separated from the process and stored underground,
such Hydrogen is referred to as “blue” hydrogen. Methane cracking is recently intensively
developing: it is broken down at high temperatures (in the presence of some catalyst, or
without it) into its molecular components. Storing or using of solid carbon is much easier and
more attractive than storage of CO2. Hydrogen produced in this way is referred to as
"turquoise". The process without catalysts is simpler, but requires higher temperatures. The
test facility consists of two columns filled with pebble-bed and a connecting horizontal part.
The upper part of the pebble-beds and the connecting pipe is the highest temperature zone
where the cracking process mainly takes place. In the high temperature zone, the cracking
process is very intensive and the required reaction energy is supplied by adding some oxygen
to burn small amount of Hydrogen. Sensible heat of product gas is stored in the pebble-bed
and cold gas goes out. In a condenser, the product gas is further cooled, and the occurred
condensate flows in a drain vessel. After some time, by switching corresponding valves, the
flow direction is changed, so that Methane enters the second pebble-bed and the product
gas goes out through the first pebble-bed. The capacity of the test facility was 2 – 4 of
Methane, with corresponding residence time in the range 0.5 to 2 seconds. At above 1450°C,
the H2-ratio was always above 90%. In order to compare the quality of the achieved results,
the yield of Hydrogen was evaluated for the best test results. The highest yields have been
achieved at temperature above 1500°C, with a maximum value of 94.9% at 1560°C. Those
results are considerably better than those achieved in other test facilities for cracking using
catalysts (the highest yield 78% at 1175°C). That comparison shows important advantages of
the high temperature process without catalyst. If one has the experience and technology for
high temperatures (1500°C and more) that is a simpler and more effective way to reach
industrialization of cracking technology.

Vodonik je veoma važan nosilac energije koji može dati odlučujući doprinos budućoj

potreba, kao što su transport, proizvodnja električne energije i toplote, redukcije gvozdene
rude itd. Danas je više od 90% postojećeg vodonika na tržištu „sivo“, tj. dobijeno iz primarnih
fosilnih goriva sa pratećim visokim emisijama CO2. Ako se ugljen-dioksid nastao tokom parnog
reformisanja metana naknadno odvoji i uskladišti pod zemljom, takav vodonik se naziva
„plavi“ vodonik. Krekovanje metana se u poslednje vreme intenzivno razvija: on se na visokim
temperaturama (u prisustvu nekog katalizatora ili bez njega) razlaže na svoje molekularne
komponente. Čuvanje ili korišćenje čvrstog ugljenika je mnogo lakše i privlačnije od
skladištenja CO2. Vodonik proizveden na ovaj način se naziva "tirkizni". Proces bez
katalizatora je jednostavniji, ali zahteva više temperature. Ogledni objekat se sastoji od dve
kolone (pebble-bed) ispunjene kugličnim zasipom i veznog horizontalnog dela. Gornji deo
pebble-beda i spojna horizontalna cev je zona najviše temperature u kojoj se uglavnom odvija
proces krekovanja. U toj zoni visoke temperature, proces je veoma intenzivan i potrebna
reakciona energija se obezbeđuje dodavanjem kiseonika za sagorevanje male količine
vodonika. Osetna toplota procesnog gasa se skladišti u kugličnom zasipu i hladni gas izlazi. U
kondenzatoru se procesni gas dalje hladi, a nastali kondenzat se odvaja u drenažni sud. Nakon
nekog vremena, prebacivanjem odgovarajućih ventila, smer protoka se menja, tako da metan
ulazi u drugi pebble-bed, a procesni gas izlazi kroz prvi pebble-bed. Kapacitet opitnog
postrojenja je bio 2 – 4 metana, sa vremenom zadržavanja u rasponu od 0,5 do 2 sekunde.
Na temperaturi iznad 1450°C, udeo H2 je uvek bio iznad 90%. Da bi se uporedio kvalitet
postignutih rezultata, prinos vodonika je izračunat za najbolje rezultate ispitivanja. Najveći
prinosi su postignuti na temperaturi iznad 1500°C, sa maksimalnom vrednošću od 94,9% na
1560°C. Ovi rezultati su znatno bolji od rezultata postignutih u drugim postrojenjima za
ispitivanje krekovanja pomoću katalizatora (najveći prinos 78% na 1175°C). To poređenje
pokazuje važne prednosti procesa pri visokoj temperaturi bez katalizatora. Ako se poseduje
iskustvo i tehnologija za visoke temperature (1500°C i više) to je jednostavniji, brži i efikasniji
način da se dođe do industrijalizacije tehnologije krekovanja metana.

A THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF THE PROCESS OF HYDROGEN

PRODUCTION BY NATURAL GAS DECOMPOSITION IN THE LOW-
TEMPERATURE THERMAL PLASMA REACTOR

Abstract
Hydrogen produced via the thermal decomposition of natural gas, also known as ‘turquoise’
hydrogen, is the subject of this study. It is expected that ‘turquoise’ hydrogen will play a
significant role in the coming energy transition, reducing emissions from fossil fuels in the
short term until renewable energy sources are capable of producing enough energy or
hydrogen transport becomes feasible on a large scale. The main advantage of the thermal
decomposition of natural gas is the possibility of obtaining a high yield of hydrogen without
the emission of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide since the main products of the process
are carbon in a solid state and hydrogen. Using plasma in the process elevates the
temperature of the process and increases methane decomposition without catalysts. This
paper analyses the process using a thermodynamic equilibrium model based on the minimum
of the Gibbs function in the temperature range of 500 - 2 000 K. As a result of the study, the
equilibrium composition of the system in the observed temperature range is presented. Also,
attention is given to undesirable components in the system such as carbon dioxide,
hydrocyanic acid, and nitrogen compounds like ammonia and nitrogen monoxide. From the
point of energy analysis, the useful energy of the system per kilogram of fuel and the
efficiency of the process is presented. The results of the numerical analysis show that the
efficiency of the process increases with increasing temperature and reaches its maximum at
a temperature of 1200 K when an energy efficiency of about 50% is achieved.

Abstract
Broj stanovnika u urbanim zonama se konstantno povećava što, u kombinaciji sa drugim
faktorima, dovodi do pogoršanja kvaliteta vazduha. Jedan od najvažnijih parametara koji se
meri u okviru monitoringa kvaliteta vazduha je koncentracija finih čestica (PM – particulate
matter). One su povezane sa mnogim zdravstvenim problemima, na primer oboljenjima srca
i pluća. U ovom radu predstavljamo prototip senzorskog sistema za praćenje koncentracije
PM2.5 čestica, baziran na Arduino platformi. Sistem se sastoji od više senzora (senzor
koncentracije PM2.5 čestica, senzor temperature i vlažnosti vazduha, senzor koncentracije
ugljen-monoksida, itd), koji su povezani na Arduino Uno R3 pločicu sa Atmega328P
mikrokontrolerom. Testiranje sistema je izvršeno u trajanju od deset uzastopnih dana, pri
čemu su svakog dana merenja izvođena na šest lokacija. Pored senzora kvaliteta vazduha
sistem je opremljen i GPS prijemnikom, te su dobijeni podaci bili georeferencirani. Oni su
potom korišćeni za generisanje rasterskih mapa u GIS okruženju, kako bi se kvalitetnije
vizuelno predstavila prostorna raspodela merenih parametara. Primenjeni pristup, iako sa
određenim nedostacima, predstavlja dobru osnovu za GIS-bazirani sistem za permanentni
monitoring kvaliteta vazduha.

Population in urban areas is constantly increasing which, in combination with other factors,
leads to degradation of air quality. One of the most important parameters that has to be
measured in air quality monitoring is concentration of fine particles (PM – particulate matter).
They are linked with various health hazards, such as heart and lung diseases. In this paper we
are presenting a prototype of a sensor system for monitoring of PM2.5 particles, based on
Arduino platform. The system consists of several sensors (PM2.5 concentration sensor, air
temperature and humidity sensor, carbon-monoxide sensor, etc.), that are connected to
Arduino Uno R3 evaluation board with ATmega328P microcontroller. The system was tested
during ten consecutive days. Each day the measurements were performed on six location.
Besides air quality sensors, the system is equipped with GPS sensor too, so collected data are
georeferenced. They were used to create raster maps in GIS environment, in order to better
visualize the spatial distribution of pollutants. Applied approach, although with some
drawbacks, appeared to be a good basis for a GIS based system for permanent air-quality
monitoring.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF WET FLUE GAS DESULPHURIZATION IN

SPRAY ABSORBER

Milan M. Petrovic, Vladimir D. Stevanovic, Sanja Milivojevic, Milica Ilic, University of

Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Kraljice Marije 16, 11120 Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract
A concise one dimensional thermal-hydraulic two-fluid model is presented for the numerical
prediction of sulphur dioxide absorption from the flue gas onto drops of the water-limestone
slurry in the vertical spray tower absorber. The model is based on mass, momentum and
energy balance equations for each phase separately, i.e. downward falling droplets of water-
limestone slurry and upward flowing flue gas. The sulphur dioxide content in the flue gas is
predicted by a balance equation of the sulphur dioxide mass fraction in the flue gas. Interface
transfer processes between the flue gas and the droplets are determined by closure laws. The
obtained steady-state balance equations are transformed in a form suitable for a direct
application of the numerical integration method for the system of ordinary differential
equations. The developed thermal-hydraulic model is validated by comparing numerical
results with available measured data at the large utility absorber. The presented results
clearly show the dynamics of flue gas and droplets thermal-hydraulic processes and their
influence on the absorption process. The influence of liquid-to-gas ratio and droplet diameter
on sulphur dioxide removal efficiency has been investigated.

Department for Process Engineering, Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract
In the paper, we analyze the operation of a plant producing refined alcohol with a capacity of
25,000 kg/day, which uses corn as the primary raw material. On the site location, there are a
cow farm, a plant for the combined production of heat and electricity using biogas, and a
distillery production plant. The raw material for biogas is manure from a cow farm. The energy
required for the production process and the operation of the supporting systems (space
heating, own consumption of the CHP plant, etc.) is obtained by burning biogas and ethanol
so that fossil fuels are used only in cases of plant start-up or incident situations of production
process failure. The analysis presented in this paper aims to set up a carbon dioxide balance
for a production plant with accompanying systems and its comparison to the carbon dioxide
consumption necessary for corn's growth.

Abstract
Due to climate change urgency coal power plants are under immense pressure. A wave of
closures is present all around the world. Especially in the EU the community that we aspire to
join. CO2 tax is looming, and competitiveness with renewables is under decline. In this paper
coal power plants are seen in future as a part of the energy storage system using excess
electricity from renewables that would be otherwise curtailed. System consists of three parts:
electricity to thermal energy conversion unit using heat pumps, electric heaters, or their
combination, then energy storage system, and existing power plant running on Rankine cycle.
Emissions would be zero, no SO2, no NOx, no CO2, no ultra-fine and very harmful particles.
Jobs would be saved. Intermittence of renewables solved. Integration with industry and
residential sector for heating and cooling is of great importance for the round-trip efficiency.
Analysis is performed using Engineering Equation Solver.

Abstract
Different sources of renewable energy are available around us. One of the most suitable and
clean renewable energy source is the wind. Vertical-axis wind turbines are insensitive to wind
direction variations, that makes this type of wind turbines suitable for installations in urban
areas. In the present work, noise levels, for 3 bladed vertical axis turbine (H-Darrieus type)
were analyzed for different angles of attack. Turbine blade analyzed was symmetric airfoil
(NACA series). Calculations were performed on a 2D model for 10 - 15 m/s inlet velocities.
Pressure and velocity fields with noise broadband levels were calculated using RANS method
for turbulence modeling. It was found that this approach can reveal the noise sources for this
type of turbine in its operational regime. Furthermore, this method can be used in initial
stages of turbine design, especially for airfoil selection for noise levels minimization.

ISPITIVANJE ZASNOVANO NA RIZIKU: STANDARDI I PERSPEKTIVE

Vladimir Pilić, Fakultet tehničkih nauka, Univerzitet u Novom Sadu

Abstract
Imajući u vidu da je energija neizostavan faktor koji utiče na dalji razvitak država u svetu,
izvlači se logičan zaključak da se prema istoj treba odnositi sa većom pažnjom i posvećenošću
nego danas. Smanjenje potrošnje ukupne energije čiji većinski udeo i dalje dolazi iz upotrebe
fosilnih goriva, primenom mera energetske efikasnosti ili upotrebnom obnovljivih izvora
energije poput solarne ili energije vetra, jedan je od načina na koji se prethodno pomenuti
razvitak može podstaći. Poslednjih decenija zapažen je trend pogoršanja kvaliteta sirove nafte
kao sirovine za preradu ali i uzlazni trend koji se tiče tehnoloških napredaka u oblasti prerade
nafte i gasa sa ciljem proizvodnje čistijih i kvalitetnijih naftnih derivata. Takođe, poboljšanja
imaju za svrhu i povećanje efikasnosti rafinerijskih procesa u smislu optimizacije prinosa,
kvaliteta i svojstava produkata obrade i prerade nafte sa istovremenim smanjenjem na
minimum količine otpadnih materija i materija koje ne mogu biti obrađene. Sa druge strane,
činjenica je da su petrohemijska postrojenja sve starija, imajući u vidu da su velike rafinerije
najvećih svetskih naftnih kompanija izgrađene sredinom ili u drugoj polovini prošlog veka,
stvara se prilično plodno tlo za šarolike uzroke otkaza opreme. Životni vek opreme, koja je za
potrebe petrohemijske industrije uglavnom jedinstvena i samim tim veoma skupa za izradu i
održavanje, primenom metoda ispitivanja moguće je donekle produžiti u smislu dobijanja
potvrde da je oprema dovoljno sigurna za rad i da ispunjava zadate radne parametre.
Metodologija kojom je moguće uraditi gore navedeno je RBI (engl. Risk-Based Inspection,
Ispitivanje zasnovano na riziku), čiji se doprinos najviše ogleda u povećanju bezbednosti rada
samog postrojenja ali i u dodatnom smanjenju troškova prilikom održavanja. RBI pruža jedan
sveobuhvatan inspekcijski plan koji utvrđuje termine ispitivanja a sve prema jedinstvenim
karakteristikama postrojenja i procesnih parametara. Korak dalje u primeni klasične danas
dobro ustanovljene RBI metodologije koja je razvijana i primenjivana poslednjih 20 godina
jeste primena pristupa koji uzimaju u obzir dinamički aspekt rizika, poput dinamičke procene
rizika ili proceni rizika koja je zasnovana na praćenju stanja opreme.

We will present the characteristics of the thermal plasma gasification process, and modeling
approaches, introduce thermodynamic equilibrium system modeling in Aspen Plus simulator,
and highlight a review of developed models from the literature, emphasizing non-
stoichiometric equilibrium models. The literature review points out the novelties in the recent
developed models, as well as the influence of the most important operating parameters, such
as temperature, equivalence ratio, selection of the gasifying medium, plasma power, and
steam-to-feedstock ratio on the performance of the gasification process.

INVITED LECTURE: SOLAR UPDRAFT TOWER TECHNOLOGY AS CLEAN

AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE

Aleksandar S. Ćoćić, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Serbia

Abstract
The field of renewable and sustainable energy is one of the most important topic in
contemporary research, and various technologies related to energy saving are constantly
reported. Solar energy is renewable, clean and practically nondepletable energy source - it is
estimated that we will have steady, unlimited supply of sunlight for another 5 billion years.
Efficient utilization of solar energy and development of solar systems in that purpose are the
research topics of many scientists and engineers worldwide. Currently, there are two main
kinds of such systems. The first is related to solar thermal power generation technologies
where solar radiation is converted into heat, followed by particular power generation process
in which thermal energy is converted to electrical energy. Technologies developed in that
purpose are solar central power tower, parabolic trough solar thermal system and dish solar
thermal technology. The second kind of solar systems are the ones in which solar energy is
directly converted to electrical energy, where we can have light induction, photochemical or
biological power generation. From the industry viewpoint, the usage of these systems as an
alternate energy resource needs to meet reliability, performance and economic
characteristics that compare favorably to conventional energy systems which can cover high
energy demands. Unfortunately, the costs of developing large-scale power plants in MW scale
for each of the aforementioned solar technologies are not feasible. The solar chimney power
plant (SCPP) system, known also as solar updraft tower (SUT) uses solar energy to drive the
air flow through turbines where kinetic energy of the air is converted into electric energy.
This solar system has three essential parts: chimney, collector and turbines. The main role of
collector is to absorb solar radiation and to heat up the air inside. Heated air has lower density
than surrounding air in the environment, and due to buoyancy effect that environmental air
pushes the heated air towards the center of the collector where high chimney is located. The
role of the chimney is to create cumulative buoyancy and large pressure difference between
the system and the environment, which causes the rise of the heated air from the collector
into the chimney with great speed. Flowing air produces aerodynamic forces on the blades of
axis-based turbine which cause the spinning of the rotor. This can be further converted to
electrical energy via generator, with appropriate gear boxes. Turbine is usually installed at the
bottom of the chimney, or several turbines can be placed near the collector outlet. In this
paper, comprehensive review of the current research in area of SCPP will be presented,
together with results of joint research previously presented in relevant literature, and their
further elaboration. Additionally, new results from CFD simulations will be also presented.
Main aspect of the research is focused on the analysis of the fluid flow and its effect on heat
transfer in solar chimney power plant. Developed mathematical model and results of CFD
simulations are validated using available experimental results from the prototype of SCPP
which was build in Manzanares, Spain. Very good agreement with experimental results is

 obtained in both cases. Additionally, analysis of dimensionless form of model equations have
shown that global efficiency can be improved with increase of global geometrical parameters
of the plant, but on the other hand it is found that there is a limit value in relation between
chimney height and mass flow rate through the system. Increase in chimney height increases
the mass flow rate, but only to some extent.

Abstract
A key role in energy management policies is played by the primary resource availability
accommodation to the consumption. In such energy system, renewable energy resources
play an important role. As these resources are variable in time, their forecast represents a
significant issue. More and more attention is being paid to predicting a possible amount of
electricity obtained on the basis of solar radiation on photovoltaic panels, which is influenced
by numerous external parameters such as air temperature, amount of clouds and humidity.
Numerous previous studies have shown that certain significant techniques which have been
used to predict and optimize the performance of various solar energy systems are machine
learning and artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are widely accepted
as a technology that offers a solution to very complex problems, they can handle incomplete
data and can perform high-speed prediction. ANNs process can be considered as a black-box
modelling with a set of input factors and output variables which are results of input factors
treatment through a systematic neural network. Back-propagation network is a type of
multilayer feedforward neural network which achieves an arbitrary nonlinear map from
inputs to outputs. In this research the back-propagation learning algorithm is used to
construct a prediction model of photovoltaic power generation which can forecast the power
outputs of photovoltaic system

Abstract
Response Surface Method (RSM) is used to develop a mathematical model for modeling
output parameters of a cooling tower. A series of experiments were performed on the
experimental line, representing the industrial cooling tower model, to obtain the data needed
to generate the model. Experiments are performed following the data matrix which enables
that, by performing a minimum number of experimental runs, a mathematical model is
generated. The inlet water temperature, water volume flow rate and air volume flow rate are
configured as relevant input parameters (factors), while the output parameter is the water
temperature at the outlet. Due to the limitations in the experimental setting, inlet air
temperature and humidity are not varied during the experiments. Therefore, their influence
on outlet water temperature is not considered. Using the experimental data, a quadratic
polynomial regression model of outlet water temperature is generated, with selected inlet
parameters as model factors. Model accuracy and adequacy are tested, showing excellent
results. The analysis enables determining the input parameters that have the most significant
influence on the output water temperature. It was concluded that the outlet water
temperature is most affected by the inlet water temperature and air volume flow rate. The
presented methodology can be applied to an industrial cooling tower in a thermal power
plant or any other facility with a cooling tower included in the facility layout. Also, the
generated model can be used for process optimization.

Abstract
Ревитализација великих хидроелектрана углавном подразумева унапређење радних
параметара великих хидроагрегата, док се за кућне мале хидроагрегате, који се користе
за сопствену потрошњу, обично усвајају готова постојећа типска решења. Таква
типизација ускраћује могућност разматрања више варијантних решења, која узимају у
обзир фина побољшања енергетских параметара. У циљу целокупног унапређења
енергетске ефикасности једне хидроелектране, размотрена је могућност побољшања
енергетских карактеристика Пелтон турбине кућног агрегата који је у вишедеценијској
експлоатацији, задржавајући при томе постојеће улазне вредности протока и нето пада.
Применом савремених препорука, урађена је упоредна анализа више варијантних
решења модернизације кроз вишепараметарску анализу и пројектовање новог обртног
кола. У раду су детаљније приказана изабрана решења којима је могуће остварити
повећање номиналне снаге турбине и до 3,5% у односу на номиналну снагу постојеће
турбине.

Revitalization of large hydropower plants mainly implies enhancing the operating parameters
of large hydro aggregates, while typical technical solutions are usually adopted for the small
units auxiliary power supply. Such an approach can prevent the various solutions considering
the refinement of the turbine energy parameters. In order to enhance the energy efficiency
of the whole hydropower plant, a possibility to improve energy characteristics of a Pelton
turbine for the station service power, which has been in exploitation for decades, is
considered while retaining the existing input values of discharge and head. According to the
contemporary recommendations, a comparative analysis of several variant technical
solutions for modernization is carried out by multiparametric analysis with the design of a
new turbine runner. In this paper, the chosen solutions are thoroughly presented, enabling
an increase in the nominal power output of the improved turbine up to 3.5% in comparison
to the existing one.

Abstract
U periodu energetske tranzicije zemlje se suočavaju sa izazovima prelaska sa fosilnih goriva
na OIE, što kao posledicu ima promjenu strukture energetskih proizvodnih kapaciteta, ali i
potrebe postizanja održivog optimalnog energetskog miksa. Glavni cilj optimizacije
energetskog miksa bio je izbor najefikasnije metode proizvodnje električne i toplotne energije
unutar određenog nacionalnog/lokalnog područja. Višekriterijumska optimizacija je logičan
način da se u potpunosti stvori realna slika trenutno optimalnog energetskog miksa, uzimajući
u obzir neophodan i dovoljan broj kriterijuma pomoću kojih je ovaj problem opisan.
Višekriterijumsko odlučivanje (MCDM) često predstavlja zahtjevan zadatak, jer je neophodno
iz skupa alternativa izabrati jednu, na osnovu većeg broja konfliktnih kriterijuma. Pri
definisanju energetskog miksa države/lokalne zajednice neohodno je analizirati veći broj
međusobno suprostavljenih kriterijuma. U ovom radu prezentovani su kriterijumi i indikatori
za opis i ocjenu energetskih sistema za proizvodnju električne i toplotne energije u
državi/lokalnoj zajednici: energetska i eksergetska efikasnost, eksergetski faktor, specifični
investicioni trošak 1 kW instalisane snage tehnologije, specifični proizvodni trošak po 1 kWh
energije, specifična emisija CO2 u kg/kWh, faktor kapaciteta, tehnički vijek trajanja, faktor
skladištenja. Prezentovane su i tri metode koje pripadaju MCDM metodama i to su:
entropijska (EWM) metoda, metoda Analitičko hijerarhijskog porcesa (AHP) i VIKOR metoda.
Metode EWM i AHP korištene su za određivanje težina kriterijuma u uporednim odnosima u
smislu tačnosti i konvergencije njihovih izračunatih numeričkih vrijednosti, dok je metoda
VIKOR korištena u procesu optimizacije energetskog miksa.
