In the article "Directions of scientific research development in the light of programming documents and EU initiatives" there are analysed directions of scientific research in Europe concerning Smart Cities in the light of EU documents and all the time emerging new initiatives. Subjects of this analysis were the following organizations and initiatives: Smart Cities [&] Communities Industrial Initiative, The European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities (EIP-SCC), EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020, The European Energy Research Alliance (EERA), The Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) “URBAN EUROPE”, The Urban Europe Research Alliance UERA, The EU Smart Cities Information System (SCIS), The European Association of Local Authorities “Energy Cities”, The European Urban Agenda for EU, The European Urban Knowledge Network (EUKN), The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy Office and some other European and world initiatives for sustainable development of scientific research concerning smart cities and communities in Europe as well as the proposed research priorities in this field. On the basis of documents elaborated by European Commission and in the framework of the above mentioned initiatives an assessment has been made of the state of progress achieved in such fields like strategy planning, integration, information and telecommunication, production and energy use, transport, construction, city infrastructure, climatic changes and ecology, healthcare and educational services, finances, management and social sciences.
The article "Attrition resistance of oxygen carriers in the process of Chemical Looping Combustion" presents one of the available methods to reduce CO2 emission is combustion of fossile fuels in the process of the so-called Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC). It is the process that consists in combustion of solid and gaseous fuels with no direct contact of these fuels with air. A new and unique feature of the CLC process is the fact that the oxygen needed for combustion is delivered with the help of solid oxygen carriers. Carriers attrition measurement is practially carried on with the use of two methods – a typical one described in ASTM D 5757 Standard and the one developed by Particulate Solid Research, Inc. (PSRI) called the jet-cup method. The elaborated in Instytut Energetyki (patent application nr P-419807) testing stand aims to determine the impact of mechanical and temperature influences on attrition resistance of oxygen carriers applied in fluidized bed systems. The stand fully simulates conditions occurring in real fluidized bed systems and may additionally serve to investigate thermal processes such as combustion or gasification.
