In this paper, we present an image recognition method to improve the performance of waste-to-energy plants. Thermal treatment of waste in waste-to-energy plants is central for the treatment of municipal solid waste. The heterogeneous nature of municipal solid waste results in a fluctuating lower calorific value to which ...

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is considered as very meaningful to mitigate climate change. To integrate weather-dependent energies firmly into the power grid, a forecast of the energy yield is very important. This paper is about renewable energy generation by photovoltaic (PV) systems. The yield ...
