Abstract Even though coal resources are the most abundant among fossil fuels, coal-fired plants release large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In this regard, reducing environmental challenges and crises caused by coal burning can be a promising option to reduce today's crises in the energy field. The integration of coal-fired plants with renewable-driven energy systems can simultaneously improve thermodynamic performance and reduce pollutants emission rates. This article presents the thermodynamic and pollutant emission investigations of a new coal-fired plant coupled with a linear Fresnel solar collector (LFSC)-driven solar unit, a parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC)-driven solar unit, a high-temperature fuel cell stack (molten carbonate fuel cell stack [MCFCS]) and a heat recovery system (based on the steam turbine and gas turbine-based power cycles). The plant is able to produce electricity and hot water (HW). The main structure of the offered plant is based on coal, whereas, is coupled with renewables-based cycles to mitigate environmental impacts. The plant could generate ~ 207 MW of power and 3728 m3/h of HW. In such conditions, the energy efficiency of 73.1% and exergy efficiency of 44.18% could be achievable. Further, the emitted gas rates of the plant were nearly 403 tons/h. A comprehensive comparison is also presented for the plant's behavior under different types of coal (petcoke and anthracite). In addition, a two-function optimization is developed to determine the maximum value of exergy efficiency and the minimum value of total pollutants emission rate.

Pricing carbon emission rights and other financial assets using the soliton theory is a pioneering attempt. In this study, we investigated the pricing of carbon emission rights according to the basic attributes of solitons, whose amplitude and velocity remain unchanged after a collision. First, we showed that the price fluctuation in the sequence of carbon emission rights possesses the characteristics of a soliton, such as non-dispersion while spreading and being stable after a collision. With a variation in the time scale, the waveform and velocity of the carbon price movement did not change with its translation in the same direction. Second, we demonstrated that the carbon soliton equation passes the $Painlevacute{e}$ test for integrability. Moreover, at the resonance point, there exists an arbitrary function ${u}_j(t)$ of $t$ in which the compatibility condition always holds. This indicates the existence of soliton solutions to the carbon soliton equation. Third, the exact solutions of single-soliton, two-soliton and three-soliton equations were obtained by using a nonlinear evolution equation constructed with a bilinear method. In the three soliton solutions, only the single-soliton solution is the central value of the carbon emission rights and its theoretical value is 13 Euro/tCO2e.

This paper presents a novel schematic diagram of a multi-functional air-conditioner (NMFAC) with four operating modes to enhance energy efficiency and increase equipment utilization. A prototype was designed to test the performances according to Chinese condition standards. The results indicated that the NMFAC could run reliably all year round. In summer and winter, the space cooling and heating capacity were in normal ranges, with an average space cooling performance (COPsc) and heating performance (COPsh) of 2.73 and 3.58, respectively. In the water-heating only mode in season and out of season, the mean water heating performance (COPwh) varied from 2.97 to 4.2 under typical conditions as hot water was heated from 15 °C to 55 °C. In condensing heat recovery mode, the average COPwh and COPsc were 4.54 and 4.30, respectively, and the overall performance (COPcw) was up to 8.84.

In order to comprehensively monitor the daily consumption of photovoltaic power and power generation of photovoltaic microgrid, a daily consumption monitoring method of photovoltaic microgrid based on genetic wavelet neural network is proposed to reduce the relative error of daily consumption monitoring. Considering the power generation forms of various units such as wind power, thermal power, hydropower and photovoltaic power generation, the upper and lower limits of daily consumption of different units and the constraints of consumption calculation are analyzed to obtain the daily consumption of photovoltaic microgrid. On this basis, the daily consumption monitoring model of photovoltaic microgrid including multiple inputs and outputs is constructed by using Morlet wavelet function, and the power generation is calculated by wavelet neural network. The genetic algorithm is used to optimize the individual fitness of wavelet neural network through the training of the number of wavelet bases and related thresholds and weights, and to normalize the optimal individual fitness to realize the daily consumption monitoring of photovoltaic microgrid. The experiment shows that this method can monitor the actual photovoltaic power in sunny weather, and after 12 o’clock, the photovoltaic power gradually drops below 30 kW. In cloudy weather, the actual photovoltaic power reaches its peak at around 12 o’clock, ~45–50 kW, and drops to about 10 kW at 17 o’clock. And the power generation in cloudy days is relatively low, and the power generation in rainy days is the lowest. When the relative humidity is 30%, the power generation increases rapidly and keeps at 8 kWh. When the relative humidity is 50%, the power generation gradually drops to 2 kWh. When the temperature is 20°C, the maximum radiation intensity is about 0.6 kW m2. When the temperature is 30°C, the maximum radiation intensity is greater than 0.8 kW m2. At 11:00 and 12:00, the power generation error is 0.02 kWh. In order to improve the monitoring accuracy of photovoltaic power and daily power generation of photovoltaic microgrid in different environments.

Diesel engines that predominantly run on fossil-based diesel fuel emit harmful emissions. Biofuels such as biogas and biodiesel are potential alternatives. However, many biofuels have poor heating values and supply inconsistencies. The use of nanoparticles (NPs) offers an appealing alternative for enhancing the combustion and emission reduction. This study aimed to improve the emission performance of biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil biodiesel (WCOB) by adding titanium oxide (TiO2) NPs. Tests were conducted in the diesel-powered engine at varying load levels using fuel mixtures of B1 (100% diesel), B2 (80% diesel + 20% WCOB) and B3 (80% diesel + 20% WCOB with the addition of 200 mg/l TiO2 NPs). In comparison with the diesel mode, the average reduction in carbon monoxide emissions was 8.92% for the B2 blend and 25% for the TiO2 NP-based B3 blend. For the B2 blend and TiO2-based B3 blend, the mean reduction in hydrocarbon emissions was 5.6 and 16.6%, respectively, when compared with diesel mode. When comparing B3 blends with B2 blends, the average reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions was 3.75%. In conclusion, adding NPs to engine fuel is a viable solution for reducing emissions.

The energy dispatching and distribution ability is improved by optimizing the configuration of hybrid energy storage capacity of multi-energy system in low-carbon background, and an optimal configuration method of hybrid energy storage capacity of multi-energy system in low-carbon background based on equilibrium control and dynamic optimization algorithm is proposed. The data structure model of hybrid energy storage capacity distribution of multi-energy system is constructed. Under the condition that the energy storage optimal allocation model based on cost analysis meets the system performance index, the energy storage optimal allocation model is established with the objective function of minimizing the cost of configuring energy storage system, and with the objective of minimizing the fluctuation of active power of distributed power sources, such as wind and light. Taking the penalty cost of wind energy storage combined output power exceeding the fluctuation limit as the objective function, low-pass filtering method is adopted to stabilize the fluctuation of new energy power, and the optimal configuration capacity of energy storage system is determined according to the allowable frequency deviation and voltage stability of the system. Balanced control and dynamic optimization algorithm are adopted to realize the optimal configuration of hybrid energy storage capacity of multi-energy system under low-carbon background by combining different wind and solar energy combinations, different sampling intervals and different number of power stations. The simulation results show that the hybrid energy storage capacity allocation of multi-energy system has strong adaptability and high environmental adaptability, which effectively improves the transient stability of power grid system and further promotes the safe and stable operation of power grid system.

Abstract Renewable energy use in agricultural applications is essential for sustainable production. Resorption cooling systems can be operated for agricultural cooling applications by using thermal energy derived from geothermal springs with sufficient temperature. Since the resorption cycle uses ammonia-water solution, cold storage and industrial cooling processes below 0°C can be actualized efficiently. In this article, a geothermal powered resorption system for cold storage of apple fruit is investigated. Technical features and cooling performance of the resorption system are analysed and compared to the other conventional cooling systems. Results showed that, geothermal powered resorption cooling systems can annually cover the cooling load of the cold storage application with adequate cooling temperature and capacity. Moreover, the use of the geothermal powered resorption system enables to set up safer and more economic cooling applications with the similar cooling performance compared with the alternative sorption cooling systems, and provides substantial economic benefits by reducing the cooling costs in agricultural production with lower operational costs.

This work presents an experimental validation of MD unit coupled with a sweeping gas membrane (SGMD) using solar energy experimental validation of a sweeping gas membrane distillation (SGMD) unit coupled with solar energy. This station is installed at the University of Kairouan in Tunisia. SGMD is the least used membrane distillation (MD) configuration, and it is very expensive to build. SGMD is used to completely remove solutions containing non-volatile compounds such as salts and recover only high-purity water. A theoretical and experimental study was carried out with the parameters that intervene in the system. The theory of the system is described by a mathematical model based on the heat and mass transfer of the MD unit. Experimental studies were carried out for two types of processes: with preheating and without preheating of the charge (brine). With a low gas flow, the evaporation capacity varies between 0.15 and 0.25 l/m2 h. The operating parameter (liquid velocity) is affected by the layer on both sides of the membrane. Utilizing the water heating by the solar collector increases the evaporation efficiency in the SGMD, and increasing the flow rate the permeate flow in the SGMD. SGMD unit experimental data were submitted to evaluate the reliability obtained from the MD unit, aspects of heat transfer, mass transfer, in solation patterns and all temperatures considering the efficiency of the MD unit.

In order to realize the dynamic analysis of regional soil moisture content in the upper reaches of Xiashan Reservoir in Weihe River Basin, Weifang City, Shandong Province, a regional soil moisture dynamic analysis model based on hyperspectral remote sensing technology is proposed. The process of predicting and deducing the soil water content through the spectral information of remote sensing images, surface parameters and other data can reflect the soil spectral information. The band sensitive to the change of soil moisture in remote sensing image is directly extracted, which is used as the independent variable input in the soil water logging inversion model, and the process of soil moisture prediction is conducted with the measured soil moisture value as the dependent variable input. The SI-1, SI-2 and other water spectral indexes that can reflect the water information are constructed, and the water spectral index used for soil water content retrieval is constructed through various relationships between bands. Compared with the spectral reflectance alone, the use of water spectral index greatly improves the retrieval accuracy. The particle filter algorithm is used to assimilate the observed data and simulated data to obtain the assimilated soil moisture. Error evaluation indicators are used to evaluate the accuracy of the obtained assimilation results and further use different particle numbers and observation errors to conduct multiple data assimilation experiments to explore the sensitivity of particle numbers and observation errors to the assimilation results. The root mean square error (RMSE), relative error (RE) and mean absolute error (MAE) are used to test and verify the effect of data assimilation. The test shows that the dynamic analysis of the regional soil moisture content in the upper reaches of Xiashan Reservoir in the Fangwei River basin by using this method the distribution map obtained by dividing the vegetation coverage are more consistent with the actual situation in terms of the proportion of different soil water salinization degrees, the regional distribution of water, etc. The idea of using hyperspectral remote sensing to retrieve soil moisture is effective.

The process of predicting and deducing the soil water content through the spectral information of remote sensing images, surface parameters and other data can reflect the soil spectral information. The band sensitive to the change of soil moisture in remote sensing image is directly extracted, which is used as the independent variable input in the soil water logging inversion model, and the process of soil moisture prediction is conducted with the measured soil moisture value as the dependent variable input. The SI-1, SI-2 and other water spectral indexes that can reflect the water information are constructed, and the water spectral index used for soil water content retrieval is constructed through various relationships between bands.
