Exergy Management: A Way to Exergetically Green Aviation Abstract: Passenger air traffic continues to grow around the world, indicating no signs of slowing down. The annual passenger total is expected to reach over 6.4 billion by 2030, based on current projections. This means that new aircraft and more flights, plus new runways and airports will be needed. In this regard, effective and efficient management of the aviation system as a whole will play a key role. ISO 50006:2014 Energy management systems - Measuring energy performance using energy baselines (EnB) and energy performance indicators (EnPI) is worthy. Exergy can be defined in various ways. According to one definition, it is a measure of the maximum useful work. Exergy analysis has been considered a powerful tool in assessing the performance of any energy system or process in recent years. In this context, various exergetic, exergoeconomic (a combination of exergy and economics) and exergoenvironmental (a combination of exergy and life cycle assessment) methods have been applied to different aviation systems. These studies have mainly focused on components (or devices) and processes in systems considered while buildings in aviation sector have not been managed in terms of exergetic approaches. This talk will briefly explain an energy management system standard first. It will then propose an exergy-based management system standard, which is also suitable for aviation sector. Finally, some exergetic performance indicators are presented towards establishing exergetically green buildings in the aviation sector. Biographical Sketch: Arif Hepbasli, who has dealt with energy-related issues for 35 years, is Professor and Head of Energy Systems Engineering at Yaşar University in Izmir, Turkey. Dr. Hepbasli joined Ege University, Izmir, Turkey in 1996 after about a ten-year period in industry (as head engineer, assistant manager for investments and maintenance manager). He was Vice Director of Solar Energy Institute of Ege University between 1997-2000 and Ege University Science Technology Application and Research Center (EBILTEM) between 2000-2001. He worked as a Visiting Professor between 2004-2005 at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada and between 2010-2012 at King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. His research has been involved with energy, exergy, exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental analyses and assessments of energy-related systems, energy/exergy efficiency and management, fluidized bed combustion systems, ground-source heat pumps, utilization and potential of renewable energy sources and sustainable energy technologies. Dr. Hepbasli is also a Certified Industrial Energy Manager in Turkey while he is author and co-author of over 560 papers (over 270 SCI-based papers with an academic footprint of 35) on a national and international basis as well as several national and international books and book chapters. He has chaired and co-chaired many national and international conferences, symposia, workshops and technical meetings. He has served as a consultant for industry in cases involving his research area and is also a member in the International Advisory Board of various prestigious energy-related journals and an Associate Editor of Journal of Energy Engineering (ASCE) while also serving many energy journals and industrial projects as a reviewer. As of 2014, he became the Turkish expert of the Energy Configuration of the Horizon 2020 Programme Committee while also serving as an advisory committee member at Turkish Scientific Technology Research Institute (TUBITAK). |
