The pore structure of coal significantly affects the adsorbability, desorption, and seepage behavior of coal-rock gas. This study firstly represents a comprehensive assessment of pore structure and fractal dimension characteristics for the low-medium rank coal of the Jurassic-Triassic, Kuqa Depression, Tarim Basin, China, with a focus on their implications for methane adsorption capacity. In addition, integration the laboratory and well log data (CMR_NG) are used to evaluate gas bearing property of coal seams. Coal samples of low-medium rank were analyzed using low-pressure CO2 adsorption (LP-CO2GA), low-temperature N2 adsorption (LT-N2GA), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption-desorption isotherms of coal samples are predominantly Type H3 and H4, indicating parallel plate pores and ink-bottle or narrow slit pores, which promote coal-rock gas enrichment. Micropores, responsible for most specific surface area (SSA), dominate the pore structure, alongside macropores with two T2 peaks. Fractal dimensions (D1, D2 from LT-N2GA; D3, D4 from NMR) reflect pore characteristics, where higher D1 and D2 correlate positively with SSA and total pore volume (TPV) of micropores and mesopores. Langmuir volume (VL) correlates with D3, indicating greater adsorption capacity, while lower D4 suggests better connectivity and permeability. Furthermore, industrial components and gas bearing property are evaluated by using conventional well log and CMR_NG log. The favorable coal reservoir exhibits high fixed carbon content, a broad T1 spectrum, and bimodal T2 distributions from CMR_NG, indicating both adsorbed and free gas with high coal-rock gas content. These insights could enhance understanding of low-medium rank coal reservoir pore structure and fractal dimension characteristics, as well as their influence on methane adsorption, gas bearing property and seepage capacity.
煤的孔隙结构对煤岩气体的吸附、解吸和渗流行为有显著影响。本文首次对塔里木盆地库车坳陷侏罗系—三叠系中低阶煤的孔隙结构和分形维数特征进行了综合评价,重点探讨了孔隙结构和分形维数特征对甲烷吸附能力的影响。此外,利用实验室与测井资料相结合(CMR_NG)对煤层含气性进行了评价。采用低压CO2吸附法(LP-CO2GA)、低温N2吸附法(LT-N2GA)、压汞法(MIP)、核磁共振(NMR)和扫描电镜(SEM)对中低煤阶煤样进行了分析。煤样的吸附-解吸等温线以H3型和H4型为主,显示平行板孔和墨瓶孔或窄缝孔,有利于煤岩气富集。微孔占最大比表面积(SSA),与具有两个T2峰的大孔一起占主导地位。分形维数(LT-N2GA数据为D1、D2; NMR数据为D3、D4)反映了孔隙特征,其中D1和D2越高,微孔和中孔的SSA和总孔隙体积(TPV)越高。Langmuir volume (VL)与D3相关,表明吸附容量越大,而D4越低表明连通性和渗透率越好。利用常规测井和CMR_NG测井对工业组分和含气性进行了评价。CMR_NG具有较高的固定碳含量、较宽的T1谱和双峰型T2分布,表明煤岩中既有吸附气也有游离气,煤岩气含量较高。这些发现有助于进一步认识中低阶煤储层孔隙结构和分形维数特征及其对甲烷吸附、含气性和渗流能力的影响。

Dust accumulation on photovoltaic module surfaces hinders sunlight penetration, causing overheating, degradation, and disposal issues that plague the solar energy industry. Climate and morphology are strongly related to dust accumulation failure, particularly in dry areas with high dust concentrations and high wind speeds. Conventional cleaning methods often require water resources, manual intervention, and risk of surface damage. This study introduces an innovative mechanism to improve PV panel efficiency through a self-cleaning strategy. The proposed prototype utilizes transparent rolling film technology across the surface of the photovoltaic panels, physically removing accumulated dust while simultaneously enabling optimal sunlight access. This novel proposition represents a significant advancement in optimizing the performance of photovoltaic systems by implementing an autonomous cleanliness assessment. This approach eliminates unnecessary cleaning cycles and facilitates waterless operation for water-scarce regions, real-time data collection, visualization, and actuator control. Several features were combined to make this new prototype an improved innovation for mitigating partial-shading faults and enhancing solar power generation. Consequently, the proposed system makes a significant contribution to the development of a more reliable and sustainable photovoltaic plant infrastructure, while promoting environmentally friendly practices through the use of waterless methods.
光伏组件表面的灰尘堆积阻碍了阳光的穿透,导致过热、退化和处置问题,困扰着太阳能产业。气候和形态与粉尘堆积失败密切相关,特别是在高粉尘浓度和高风速的干燥地区。传统的清洁方法通常需要水资源、人工干预和表面损坏的风险。本研究介绍了一种创新机制,通过自清洁策略来提高光伏电池板的效率。提议的原型在光伏板的表面使用透明的滚动薄膜技术,物理地去除积聚的灰尘,同时实现最佳的阳光照射。这一新颖的命题代表了通过实施自主清洁度评估来优化光伏系统性能的重大进步。这种方法消除了不必要的清洗循环,促进了缺水地区的无水作业、实时数据收集、可视化和执行器控制。几个特点结合在一起,使这个新的原型成为一个改进的创新,以减轻部分遮阳故障和提高太阳能发电。因此,拟议的系统对发展更可靠和可持续的光伏发电厂基础设施作出重大贡献,同时通过使用无水方法促进环境友好做法。

Rapid urbanization and climate change add to the already increasing worldwide problem of freshwater scarcity, which calls for innovative solutions for sustainable water generation. This work offers a systematic examination of integrating geothermal energy with water desalination to minimize water shortages and lower environmental effects. The novelty of this work is in its thorough assessment of the combined Multi-Effect Evaporation (MEE) and Multi-Effect Distillation (MED) systems driven by geothermal energy, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional desalination methods. The approach involves a comprehensive analysis of current geothermal desalination systems, including thermodynamic studies, performance assessments, and economic feasibility studies. Compared to conventional fossil-fuel-based approaches, the key findings show that geothermal-driven desalination significantly reduces energy consumption and operational costs while enhancing freshwater production. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the possibility of solar-geothermal hybrid systems for increasing efficiency in areas with high water demand. Geothermal energy-powered desalination also lowers operational costs by about 30 %; hybrid solar-geothermal systems can improve efficiency by as much as 20 % in areas with high solar irradiance. Related readings imply that using geothermal energy for desalination could be quite important for long-term sustainability by lowering carbon emissions and decreasing reliance on non-renewable resources. This paper offers an insightful analysis of strategies to optimize desalination techniques for environmentally sustainable freshwater production.
快速城市化和气候变化加剧了已经日益严重的全球淡水短缺问题,这需要创新的解决方案来实现可持续的水资源生产。这项工作提供了将地热能与海水淡化相结合的系统检查,以尽量减少水资源短缺和降低环境影响。这项工作的新颖之处在于它对地热能驱动的多效蒸发(MEE)和多效蒸馏(MED)系统的综合评估,为传统的海水淡化方法提供了一种环保的替代方案。该方法涉及对当前地热脱盐系统的全面分析,包括热力学研究、性能评估和经济可行性研究。与传统的基于化石燃料的方法相比,主要研究结果表明,地热驱动的海水淡化显著降低了能源消耗和运营成本,同时提高了淡水产量。此外,该研究强调了太阳能-地热混合系统在高需水量地区提高效率的可能性。地热能驱动的海水淡化还能降低约30%的运营成本;在太阳辐照度高的地区,混合太阳能-地热系统可以将效率提高20%。相关数据表明,通过降低碳排放和减少对不可再生资源的依赖,利用地热能进行海水淡化对于长期可持续发展非常重要。本文对优化海水淡化技术以实现环境可持续淡水生产的策略进行了深刻的分析。

Deep saline aquifers are widely recognized as one of the most promising and scalable options for geological CO2 storage within CCUS strategies due to their large capacity and widespread distribution. Numerical modeling plays a critical role in predicting CO2 migration, evaluating injection safety, and optimizing site design, offering essential insights for the practical deployment of CO2 sequestration. This study presents a comprehensive two-dimensional numerical investigation of CO2 injection and migration in deep saline aquifers of the Qingjiang Basin, situated in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, we developed a fully coupled flow–geomechanical model that integrates multiphase Darcy flow, mass conservation, capillary-buoyancy effects, and linear poroelastic deformation. The model domain-an axisymmetric slice extending 5.5 km laterally and 100 m vertically at a depth of 3 km was discretized with nonstructured triangular meshes refined to sub-meter scale near the injector to resolve steep pressure and saturation gradients. Transient simulations reveal a rapid pressure rise up to ∼30 MPa within 0.1 year, followed by gradual equilibration as CO2 displaces brine. The resulting plume is characterized by a high-saturation core adjacent to the wellbore and steep radial decay, controlled by the interplay of buoyancy and capillary resistance. Sensitivity analyses demonstrate that reservoir permeability (1 × 10−15–1 × 10−12 m2) and capillary entry pressure critically influence both plume spread and pressure footprint, underscoring the need for accurate petrophysical characterization. Our findings confirm the efficacy of the Qingjiang Basin's thick seal rocks and stable tectonic setting for CO2 containment and provide guidance on mesh design, solver configuration, and coupling strategies for future three-dimensional, heterogeneous, reactive-transport simulations.
深盐水层由于其容量大且分布广泛,被广泛认为是CCUS战略中最有前途和可扩展的地质二氧化碳储存选择之一。数值模拟在预测CO2迁移、评估注入安全性和优化现场设计方面发挥着关键作用,为CO2封存的实际部署提供了重要的见解。本文对位于长江中游的清江盆地深层咸水含水层CO2注入与运移进行了二维数值模拟。利用COMSOL Multiphysics,我们开发了一个完全耦合的流动-地质力学模型,该模型集成了多相达西流动、质量守恒、毛细管浮力效应和线性孔隙弹性变形。模型域为横向长5.5 km,纵向长100 m,深度为3 km的轴对称薄片,在注入器附近采用非结构化三角网格进行离散,细化到亚米尺度,以解决陡峭的压力和饱和度梯度。瞬态模拟表明,压力在0.1年内迅速上升至~ 30 MPa,随后随着CO2取代盐水逐渐平衡。由此产生的羽流的特点是,在浮力和毛管阻力的相互作用下,靠近井筒的岩心具有高饱和度和陡峭的径向衰减。敏感性分析表明,储层渗透率(1 × 10−15-1 × 10−12 m2)和毛管进入压力对羽流扩散和压力足迹都有重要影响,因此需要精确的岩石物理表征。研究结果证实了清江盆地厚封岩层和稳定的构造环境对CO2封存的有效性,并为未来三维非均质反应输运模拟的网格设计、求解器配置和耦合策略提供了指导。

Photovoltaic (PV) systems play a crucial role in renewable energy production, and accurate parameter estimation is essential for modeling and performance analysis. In this paper, a hybrid method combining the secant and Newton-Raphson methods is employed to accurately estimate the five key parameters (Iph, I0, n, Rs, and Rsh) of the single diode PV model. The method starts by using the secant method to estimate the series resistance (Rs), then analytical equations are used to estimate the other parameters (Iph, I0 and Rsh). The Newton-Raphson technique is then applied to iteratively solve the I-V equation to finalize parameter estimation, while minimizing the root mean square error (RMSE) between modeled and measured data. The proposed method was tested on multiple solar cells and modules, including RTC France, PVM 752, PWP-201, STM6-40/36, and STP6-120/36, achieving RMSE values of 8.53×104, 3.16×104,2.17×103, 1.8×103 and 1.59×102, respectively. Additionally, it was applied to the SP75 and SM55 modules under variable temperature and irradiance, and exhibited high accuracy. This hybrid approach provides significant improvement over purely numerical techniques and metaheuristic algorithms because it provides rapid convergence, reduced computational load, and high accuracy in PV parameter extraction.
光伏(PV)系统在可再生能源生产中起着至关重要的作用,准确的参数估计是建模和性能分析的关键。本文采用割线法和牛顿-拉夫森法相结合的混合方法,准确估计了单二极管PV模型的5个关键参数(Iph、I0、n、Rs和Rsh)。该方法首先用割线法估计串联电阻Rs,然后用解析方程估计其他参数Iph、I0和Rsh。然后应用牛顿-拉夫森技术迭代求解I-V方程,最终确定参数估计,同时最小化模型和测量数据之间的均方根误差(RMSE)。该方法在多个太阳能电池和组件上进行了测试,包括RTC France、PVM 752、PWP-201、STM6-40/36和STP6-120/36, RMSE值分别为8.53×10−4、3.16×10−4、2.17×10−3、1.8×10−3和1.59×10−2。此外,该方法还应用于变温度和变辐照度条件下的SP75和SM55模块,显示出较高的精度。这种混合方法与纯数值技术和元启发式算法相比有显著的改进,因为它提供了快速收敛、减少计算负荷和高精度的PV参数提取。

This nationwide study employs a spatial multi-criteria evaluation implemented in ArcGIS Model Builder to balance renewable-energy potential, ecosystem-service supply and development impacts. The analysis covers the entire of Iraq at 30 m resolution. The analysis of data identified suitable areas for renewable energy projects, including solar farms and biomass production, taking into account environmental, socio-economic, and land-use factors on the basis of four levels. The results give a more detailed land suitability classification for solar farms, using a four-class scheme according to the possible impact on ecosystem services. The results show that 49 % of the analyzed areas are suitable for both biomass and solar farms, while 6 % are suitable exclusively for solar energy, and 45 % are not suitable for either. Under the ecosystem services trade-off analysis, 82 % of the land has good suitability for balancing agricultural biomass production with water services; 10 % has intermediate suitability, and 8 % is not suitable. In the case of solar energy, the analysis found that 14 % of the land is highly suitable, 70 % moderately suitable, 11 % with lower suitability, and 5 % least suitable. The analyses also provide further details on the effect of policy and regulatory frameworks. For agricultural biomass 44 % of the areas have no constraints, 50 % are affected by policy constraints without substantial ecosystem services trade-offs, and 3 % by both constraints and trade-offs. For solar farms, 40 % of the areas are free of constraints, 14 % are affected by ecosystem services trade-offs, 42 % by policy constraints without substantial ecosystem services impacts and 7 % by both constraints and trade-offs.
这项全国性的研究采用ArcGIS模型构建器中的空间多标准评估来平衡可再生能源潜力、生态系统服务供应和发展影响。该分析以30米分辨率覆盖了整个伊拉克。数据分析确定了可再生能源项目的适当地区,包括太阳能农场和生物量生产,同时考虑到环境、社会经济和土地使用四个层次的因素。研究结果根据对生态系统服务可能产生的影响,将太阳能发电场的土地适宜性划分为四类,给出了更详细的分类。结果表明,49%的分析地区既适合生物质能又适合太阳能农场,6%的地区完全适合太阳能农场,45%的地区两者都不适合。在生态系统服务权衡分析中,82%的土地具有平衡农业生物质生产与水服务的良好适宜性;10%为中等适宜性,8%为不适宜性。以太阳能为例,分析发现,14%的土地高度适宜,70%的土地中等适宜,11%的土地适宜度较低,5%的土地不适宜。分析还提供了有关政策和监管框架影响的进一步细节。对于农业生物量,44%的地区没有任何限制,50%的地区受到政策限制的影响,而没有实质性的生态系统服务权衡,3%的地区既受到限制又受到权衡。对于太阳能发电场,40%的地区不受限制,14%受到生态系统服务权衡的影响,42%受到政策限制而没有实质性的生态系统服务影响,7%受到限制和权衡的影响。

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe. As a fuel and energy carrier it has had several false starts. Today it is thought to be on track to become a part of the future energy mix, with a multi-fold increase in usage estimated over the next 25 years. As this future develops earth science will play a role in both storage and production/manufacturing. Large-scale utilization of hydrogen will require subsurface storage. Currently, subsurface storage has largely focused on massive salt or salt diapirs. This is geographically limiting. To broaden storage opportunities bedded evaporites and porous media will need to play a role. Each subsurface storage type has multiple issues to be examined including the effects of the frequency and magnitude of drawdown, impact of microbial processes, reservoir and seal (caprock) diagenesis, and potential hydrogen losses. Storage space for hydrogen in porous media could potentially compete with CO2 storage. On the production side there is growing interest in natural (white) hydrogen, the availability of water, especially freshwater, for electrolysis (green hydrogen), and the potential for anthropogenic (orange and gold) hydrogen in the subsurface. With respect to natural hydrogen, mechanisms and rates of generation are being investigated as is the common association with helium. Understanding the natural hydrogen system, including the trap, overlaps with issues of storage that focus on the reservoir and seal. The commercial subsurface stimulation of hydrogen generation is also being examined with respect to mechanisms and rates, with an aim of making it competitive with surface manufacturing. Large-scale production of natural hydrogen is yet to be established.One may ultimately view the current state of the subsurface hydrogen story being comparable to that of the initial stages of unconventional gas production more than two decades ago, with much still to be learned.
氢是宇宙中最丰富的元素。作为一种燃料和能源载体,它有过几次失败的开始。如今,人们认为它有望成为未来能源结构的一部分,预计未来25年的使用量将增加数倍。随着未来的发展,地球科学将在储存和生产/制造中发挥作用。大规模利用氢气需要地下储存。目前,地下储存主要集中在巨大的盐或盐底辟。这在地理上是有限的。为了扩大储存机会,层状蒸发岩和多孔介质将发挥作用。每种地下储层类型都有多个问题需要研究,包括降压频率和幅度的影响、微生物过程的影响、储层和封盖层的成岩作用以及潜在的氢损失。多孔介质中氢气的储存空间可能会与二氧化碳的储存空间竞争。在生产方面,人们对天然氢(白色)、可获得的水(特别是淡水)、电解氢(绿色氢)以及潜在的地下人为氢(橙色和金色)的兴趣越来越大。关于天然氢,正在研究其产生的机制和速率,以及与氦的共同关系。了解天然氢系统,包括圈闭,与关注储层和密封的储存问题重叠。商业地下产氢的机制和速率也正在进行研究,目的是使其与地面生产相竞争。大规模的天然氢气生产尚未建立。人们最终可能会认为,地下氢的现状与20多年前非常规天然气生产的初始阶段相当,还有很多东西需要学习。

The effective characterization and management of hydrocarbon reservoirs require a thorough understanding of their petrophysical properties, from exploration to production. Modern borehole logging and interpretation techniques play a crucial role in reducing operational costs while enhancing reservoir evaluation. Petrophysical analysis is fundamental in this context, enabling the interpretation of subsurface lithology and the assessment of key rock-fluid interactions, including porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation. These parameters are essential for identifying source rocks, seals, reservoir zones, and aquifers. Geophysical well logs are among the most reliable tools for determining geological formations and their petrophysical attributes. This study investigates two post-salt reservoirs in the Campos Basin, southeastern Brazil, utilizing data from four boreholes - two as reference wells and two as blind tests. A conventional suite of well logs was employed to define electrofacies, supported by geological data. Initial cluster analysis was conducted using singular value decomposition, hierarchical clustering (dendrograms), neutron-density lithological cross-plots, and principal component analysis (PCA) to identify inherent groupings within the dataset. Subsequently, nine unsupervised classification techniques-including eight clustering algorithms (e.g., k-means, k-medoids, Gaussian mixture models, spectral clustering, k-nearest neighbors, subtractive fuzzy clustering, fuzzy c-means, and agglomerative hierarchical clustering) and one neural-based mapping method (competitive neural network) - were applied. The exploratory data analysis was essential to understand the statistical behavior and interrelationships among the petrophysical logs, serving as a foundational step for the effective application of the clustering algorithms. Despite the diverse mathematical foundations of the clustering algorithms, the three electrofacies were reliably correlated with lithofacies. In the siliciclastic reservoir, these corresponded to sandstone, shale, and limestone, while in the carbonate reservoir, they were classified as grainstones, wackestones, and cemented grainstones. This study highlights the efficacy of multi-algorithm clustering in petrophysical facies classification, providing a reliable framework for reservoir characterization in analogous geological settings.
从勘探到生产,对油气藏进行有效的描述和管理需要对其岩石物理性质有全面的了解。现代井眼测井和解释技术在降低作业成本和提高储层评价方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在这种情况下,岩石物理分析是基础,可以解释地下岩性并评估关键的岩石-流体相互作用,包括孔隙度、渗透率和流体饱和度。这些参数对于识别烃源岩、封印、储层和含水层至关重要。地球物理测井是确定地质构造及其岩石物理属性最可靠的工具之一。本研究调查了巴西东南部Campos盆地的两个盐后储层,利用了4口井的数据,其中2口作为参考井,2口作为盲测井。在地质资料的支持下,采用一套常规测井资料来确定电相。使用奇异值分解、分层聚类(树形图)、中子密度岩性交叉图和主成分分析(PCA)进行初始聚类分析,以识别数据集中的固有分组。随后,应用了九种无监督分类技术,包括八种聚类算法(例如,k-means, k- medidoids,高斯混合模型,光谱聚类,k-近邻,减法模糊聚类,模糊c-means和凝聚分层聚类)和一种基于神经的映射方法(竞争神经网络)。探索性数据分析对于理解岩石物理测井数据的统计行为和相互关系至关重要,是有效应用聚类算法的基础步骤。尽管聚类算法的数学基础不同,但这三种电相与岩相之间的相关性是可靠的。在硅屑储层中分别为砂岩、页岩和灰岩,在碳酸盐储层中分别为颗粒岩、微晶岩和胶结颗粒岩。该研究突出了多算法聚类在岩石物理相分类中的有效性,为类似地质环境下的储层表征提供了可靠的框架。

Polymers and nanoemulsions are frequently employed to boost enhanced oil recovery (EOR) systems' performance. Several physical phenomena that are essential to the process can be used in a synergistic way when both of these additives are used. Laboratory core flooding investigations utilizing natural cores are one way to evaluate these processes. Carbonate rocks are displaced by oil under extreme heat and pressure in a variety of studies. Tests are conducted on polymer solutions and a recently created polyfraction nanoemulsion. The test findings show that these compounds are stable at high temperatures, high pressures, and in the presence of H2S, and they are useful for EOR operations. In the laboratory EOR simulation, the best results were obtained for polymer and nanoemulsion concentrations in diluted reservoir water of 0.05 % and 1 %, respectively. These concentrations were shown to be the most effective. The polymers continue to demonstrate a high level of effectiveness when it comes to the displacement of crude oil from carbonate rocks under these conditions. On the other hand, the nanoemulsion that was tested enhances the wettability of carbonate rocks and reduces interfacial tension, both of which are factors that promote the efficiency of oil displacement. When compared to the quantity that was accomplished with water that did not contain any additives, the oil recovery that was measured in this instance was 37.5 % higher.
聚合物和纳米乳液经常被用于提高提高采收率(EOR)系统的性能。当使用这两种添加剂时,对该过程至关重要的几种物理现象可以以协同的方式使用。利用天然岩心的实验室岩心驱油研究是评估这些过程的一种方法。在各种研究中,碳酸盐岩在极端高温和高压下被石油取代。测试是在聚合物溶液和最近创建的聚馏分纳米乳液上进行的。测试结果表明,这些化合物在高温、高压和H2S存在下都是稳定的,对提高采收率非常有用。在实验室的EOR模拟中,聚合物和纳米乳液的浓度分别为0.05%和1%的稀释油藏水,获得了最好的效果。这些浓度被证明是最有效的。在这些条件下,当涉及到从碳酸盐岩中置换原油时,聚合物继续显示出高水平的有效性。另一方面,纳米乳液提高了碳酸盐岩的润湿性,降低了界面张力,这两者都是提高驱油效率的因素。与不含任何添加剂的水相比,这种情况下的采收率提高了37.5%。
