Mature gas turbines effectively address challenges from renewable intermittency to grid reliability. However, current gas turbine flexible-load operating strategies often neglect dynamic environmental factors and performance degradation's impact on the 4E-S (energy, exergy economics, emissions, and sustainability) framework, potentially compromising energy-saving and emissions reduction targets. Rooted in digital twin, this study presents a comprehensive lifecycle framework for intelligent, optimal gas turbine operation. Initially, a source domain hybrid model is developed. Subsequently, leveraging transfer learning principles, a hybrid transfer learning methodology is implemented for modeling the target domain. The gas turbine operating window is then constructed, and a thorough 4E-S analysis is performed. Further, a novel dynamic multi-objective evolutionary algorithm with reward-normalized stochastic selection (DMOEA-RNSS) is introduced to optimize performance within the defined operating window, generating dynamic Pareto fronts (PFs) and Pareto sets (PSs). Ultimately, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is applied to evaluate the PFs and determine the optimal operating strategy. The framework has been successfully applied to the optimal operational decision-making for a M701F gas turbine. The experimental results show that the Root Mean Squared Errors (RMSEs) between the predicted gas turbine performance state parameters and the actual operating measurement data are all less than 0.5 %. Furthermore, the variable load path from empirical gas turbine data remains within the established operating window's feasible boundaries, confirming window feasibility. Relative to the variable load path, the optimized strategy achieves a 0.1871 improvement in relative comprehensive energy efficiency (1.92 % in real), a 0.3652 reduction in relative emissions (28.34 g/s in real), and a 0.0674 reduction in relative economic indicators (0.7803$/s in real).
成熟的燃气轮机有效地解决了从可再生能源间歇性到电网可靠性的挑战。然而,目前的燃气轮机灵活负荷运行策略往往忽视了动态环境因素和性能退化对4E-S(能源、能源经济性、排放和可持续性)框架的影响,从而可能影响节能减排目标。基于数字孪生,本研究提出了智能、优化燃气轮机运行的全面生命周期框架。首先,建立了源域混合模型。随后,利用迁移学习原理,实现了一种混合迁移学习方法来对目标域进行建模。然后构建燃气轮机操作窗口,并进行彻底的4E-S分析。在此基础上,提出了一种基于奖励归一化随机选择的动态多目标进化算法(DMOEA-RNSS),通过生成动态Pareto front (PFs)和Pareto set (PSs),在定义的操作窗口内优化性能。最后,应用TOPSIS (Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution)技术来评估PFs,确定最优经营策略。该框架已成功应用于某型M701F燃气轮机的最优运行决策。实验结果表明,预测的燃气轮机性能状态参数与实际运行测量数据的均方根误差(rmse)均小于0.5%。此外,经验燃气轮机数据的变负荷路径保持在所建立的运行窗口的可行边界内,证实了窗口的可行性。相对于变负荷路径,优化后的相对综合能源效率提高0.1871(实际值1.92%),相对排放量降低0.3652(实际值28.34 g/s),相对经济指标降低0.0674(实际值0.7803$/s)。

Singapore power grid is planning to import clean power such as photovoltaic (PV) power generation from overseas through subsea cables. To participate in the Singapore electricity market, the power output from PV plants is required to be constant during each bidding period and hence battery storage systems (BSSs) need to be deployed to compensate PV power fluctuations. This paper proposes a learning-based bidding strategy to maximize the expected profit of such a PV-BSS plant. The overall bidding process is modelled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) and the optimal bidding strategy is acquired through deep reinforcement learning (DRL), considering PV power revenues, penalty payments for power shortage, and battery health degradation cost of the BSS. To more accurately characterize the actual operational behavior of the BSS, a detailed BSS model is built to estimate the state of power (SoP) and state of health (SoH) of the BSS. Numerical case studies are carried out to demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve promising profits compared to classic optimization-based methods and preserve BSS with less SoH degradation.
新加坡电网计划通过海底电缆从海外进口光伏(PV)发电等清洁能源。为了参与新加坡电力市场,光伏电站在每个投标期间的发电量必须保持不变,因此需要部署电池储能系统(bss)来补偿光伏发电的波动。本文提出了一种基于学习的投标策略,使光伏- bss电厂的期望利润最大化。整个投标过程建模为马尔可夫决策过程(MDP),并通过深度强化学习(DRL)获得最优投标策略,考虑光伏发电收入、电力短缺罚款和BSS电池健康退化成本。为了更准确地描述BSS的实际运行行为,建立了一个详细的BSS模型来估计BSS的功率状态(SoP)和健康状态(SoH)。数值实例研究表明,与传统的基于优化的方法相比,该方法可以获得可观的利润,并在减少SoH降解的情况下保持BSS。

As the global demand for clean and reliable energy increases, technologies such as compressed air energy storage, underground gas storage, and geothermal energy storage have emerged as critical solutions to mitigate the intermittency and instability of renewable energy sources. These Underground Energy Storage (UES) systems are governed by complex interactions between thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical processes, which play a pivotal role in determining the safety, stability, and operational efficiency of UES systems. This paper presents a comprehensive review of UES to summarize recent research developments and challenges of multiphysics modeling and experiments across multiple spatial scales. The review examines the practical engineering applications of major UES technologies and provides an analysis of how the multiphysics phenomena and physico-mechanical properties of geological formations affect UES system performance from microscales to macroscales. The experimental work from lab-scale experiments and field-scale measurements is also summarized to highlight key considerations for designing and managing effective storage systems, mainly including system mechanical stability, gas tightness, and thermodynamic responses under different operational conditions. Lastly, this review underscores key challenges and outlines future research directions, with particular attention given to the role of chemical interactions in multiphysics coupling and the need for integrated, cross-scale modeling approaches to support the continued development of UES technologies.

Based on the compact and quiet operation characteristics of TEG systems, this study proposes its application in power supply for underwater equipment, utilizing the stable temperature difference between the seawater cold source and the lead‑bismuth fluid heat source to generate electricity. First, three basic integrated structures are designed and compared in terms of temperature uniformity and electrical performance under the same operating conditions to select the most suitable structure for this application. The results show that the sandwich structure has the best temperature uniformity with a coefficient exceeding 0.95, the highest output power of 524.7 W and a medium power density. Therefore, the sandwich structure is selected as the applicable structure. Additionally, a fully coupled multiphysics calculation method is proposed, which comprehensively considers thermoelectric conversion and thermo-mechanical reliability. Using this method, an analysis of the fluid-thermal-electric-mechanical and off-design condition characteristics of the structure revealed that: under the same temperature difference, reducing the cold-side temperature can improve power generation performance more effectively than increasing the hot-side temperature. For every 15 °C decrease in the cold-side temperature, the conversion efficiency increases by approximately 5 %, while the maximum stress on the structure is reduced. Furthermore, all structures have an optimal external load that maximizes the output power, power density, and conversion efficiency. Finally, the accuracy of this fully coupled calculation method is verified through experiments. This study provides important insights into the expanded application of TEG systems in underwater equipment, as well as for performance analysis and optimization under multiphysics coupling conditions.
基于TEG系统结构紧凑、运行安静的特点,本研究提出了TEG系统在水下设备供电中的应用,利用海水冷源与铅铋流体热源之间稳定的温差发电。首先,设计了三种基本集成结构,并在相同工作条件下对其温度均匀性和电气性能进行了比较,以选择最适合本应用的结构。结果表明,夹层结构具有最佳的温度均匀性,温度均匀性系数超过0.95,输出功率最高为524.7 W,功率密度中等。因此,选择夹芯结构作为适用结构。此外,提出了一种综合考虑热电转换和热机械可靠性的全耦合多物理场计算方法。利用该方法对结构的流-热-电-机械特性和非设计工况特性进行了分析,结果表明:在相同温差下,降低冷侧温度比提高热侧温度能更有效地提高发电性能。冷侧温度每降低15℃,转换效率提高约5%,同时结构上的最大应力降低。此外,所有结构都有一个最佳的外部负载,最大限度地提高输出功率,功率密度和转换效率。最后,通过实验验证了该全耦合计算方法的准确性。该研究为TEG系统在水下设备中的扩展应用以及多物理场耦合条件下的性能分析和优化提供了重要见解。

Smart prosumers with Distributed Generation (DGs) and controllable loads can provide cost-effective grid services. However, realizing this potential requires distributed optimization mechanisms that ensure market efficiency, participant privacy, and compliance with electricity market regulations. This paper presents a bi-level distributed optimization mechanism to maximize flexibility services from industrial parks and Internet Data Centers (IDCs) in distribution-level Congestion Management (CM) markets. The upper-level models the Distribution System Operator (DSO), which identifies congested lines using linear AC power flow analysis on pre-settled energy market results and sends corrective signals to prosumers. The lower level allows prosumers to adjust their operations accordingly and communicate updated transactions back to the DSO. A novel proxy-driven algorithm is proposed to facilitate service-sharing among geo-distributed IDCs, considering congestion issues. Additionally, an adaptive Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm enables decentralized coordination among market agents, achieving 74.52 % faster convergence than the standard ADMM. A real-world case study from Spain demonstrates that the proposed mechanism enables the grid operator to maximize grid services from prosumers, reducing congestion alleviation costs by 35.27 %. Moreover, IDCs reduced daily costs by 11.07 % through service-sharing and task-shifting aligned with CM market signals, while industrial parks achieved a 13.68 % cost reduction by aligning material production processes with CM market signals, both enabled by the proposed bi-level mechanism.
具有分布式发电(dg)和可控负荷的智能产消用户可以提供经济高效的电网服务。然而,实现这一潜力需要分布式优化机制,以确保市场效率、参与者隐私和遵守电力市场法规。本文提出了一种双层分布式优化机制,以最大限度地提高分布级拥塞管理(CM)市场中工业园区和互联网数据中心(idc)的灵活性服务。上层模型是配电系统运营商(DSO),它通过对预先确定的能源市场结果的线性交流潮流分析来识别拥堵线路,并向产消者发送纠正信号。较低级别允许生产消费者相应地调整其操作,并将更新的事务通信回DSO。考虑到拥塞问题,提出了一种新的代理驱动算法,以促进地理分布idc之间的服务共享。此外,自适应的交替方向乘数法(ADMM)算法实现了市场主体之间的分散协调,比标准ADMM的收敛速度快74.52%。来自西班牙的实际案例研究表明,该机制使电网运营商能够最大限度地利用产消者提供的电网服务,将拥堵缓解成本降低35.27%。此外,idc通过与CM市场信号相一致的服务共享和任务转移,降低了11.07%的日常成本,而工业园区通过将材料生产过程与CM市场信号相一致,实现了13.68%的成本降低,两者都是通过提议的双层机制实现的。

The Renewable Energy Sources wind and solar are key drivers for the transition to a greenhouse gas neutral economy. However, they pose the inherent problem of high fluctuation in their availability, thereby affecting the consistency of energy generation. Energy Storage System (ESS) are a key technology for solving many of the emerging challenges. As these entail their own investment costs, the added benefit of these systems has to be calculated. Typical energetic measures are self-sufficiency, self-consumption and the loss-of-load probability. The considered energy system possesses some form of renewable energy generation, an intrinsic energy demand and a potential ESS. This paper presents a deterministic efficient algorithm that uses time series for the demand and renewable generation to construct an exact mapping by a closed-form expression and its parameters for the named energetic measures as a function of the usable capacity of the ESS. To enable these closed-form mappings we introduce the effectiveness of the storage, a precise, loss-agnostic operational/usage metric that generalizes the familiar equivalent full cycles (EFC). For comparability, we report both the internal EFC and the delivered EFC. This clarifies where discharge losses are applied and resolves inconsistent “cycle count” conventions in the literature. Power limits, charging and discharging efficiencies, and efficiencies for the direct use of generation by the system can be considered. Since no simulation or optimization is required to perform the analysis, it is computationally efficient and easy to set up with a relatively small amount of input data.
可再生能源风能和太阳能是向温室气体中性经济过渡的关键驱动力。然而,它们造成了其可用性高度波动的固有问题,从而影响了能源产生的一致性。储能系统(ESS)是解决许多新兴挑战的关键技术。由于这些系统本身需要投资成本,因此必须计算这些系统的附加效益。典型的能源措施是自给自足、自用和失载概率。所考虑的能源系统具有某种形式的可再生能源发电,内在的能源需求和潜在的ESS。本文提出了一种确定性高效算法,该算法利用需求和可再生能源发电的时间序列,通过封闭表达式及其参数,构造出指定能量值与ESS可用容量的精确映射关系。为了实现这些封闭形式的映射,我们引入了存储的有效性,这是一个精确的、损失不可知的操作/使用度量,它推广了熟悉的等效全周期(EFC)。为了便于比较,我们报告了内部EFC和交付EFC。这澄清了放电损耗的应用,并解决了文献中不一致的“循环计数”惯例。可以考虑功率限制、充电和放电效率以及系统直接使用发电的效率。由于执行分析不需要模拟或优化,因此计算效率高,并且易于使用相对较少的输入数据进行设置。

With the continuous growth in energy demand, multi-energy hybrid utilization plays a significant role in optimizing energy structures and promoting low-carbon transformation. Solar energy and natural gas thermochemical hybrid utilization, by converting concentrated solar thermal energy into high-quality fuel chemical energy, helps mitigate the impact of solar irradiation variability on energy supply stability and reliability. Existing research primarily focuses on solar-driven dry/steam reforming of methane (DRM/SRM), converting solar energy into chemical energy in the form of syngas. However, these processes are fundamentally constrained by the thermodynamic properties of reforming and reaction thermal effects, resulting in low solar contribution, limited fossil fuel substitution, and insufficient CO2 utilization capacity. To address these challenges, this study proposes an innovative carbon-negative solar fuel production method with enhanced solar share and CO2 reduction capacity via chemical looping conversion. In this approach, oxygen carriers are employed to mediate the chemical looping reactions, restructuring the conventional CH4–CO2 reforming process into two separate steps, CH4 oxidation and CO2 reduction, enabling the production of high-purity CO. Concentrated solar energy is utilized to provide the heat required for reduction reaction. This pathway significantly increases the overall reaction thermal demand, enabling a higher fraction of solar energy to be converted into chemical energy stored in product CO-rich syngas. Experimental validation of the feasibility of this method is conducted in this study. Based on this approach, a carbon-negative solar fuel production system is developed and its performance is systematically evaluated through thermodynamic modeling and parametric analysis. Promising results show that the proposed system increases the solar share to 28.44 %, representing a 7.19 percentage point improvement over the most efficient solar-driven SRM system reported in literature. Furthermore, the system enhances the CO2 reduction per unit of CH4 to 2.84, which is 2.12 times higher than that of the conventional DRM process (0.91 mol-CO2/mol-CH4). Life-cycle assessment further confirms the carbon-negative characteristics of the SE-CL system, with total emissions of −0.69 kg CO2-eq/kg-CO. These findings offer an effective solution to enhance the share of renewable energy in the energy structure and provide new pathways for utilizing CO2 with high value.
随着能源需求的持续增长,多种能源混合利用对优化能源结构、促进低碳转型具有重要作用。太阳能与天然气热化学混合利用,将集中的太阳能热能转化为高质量的燃料化学能,有助于减轻太阳辐照变异性对能源供应稳定性和可靠性的影响。现有的研究主要集中在太阳能驱动的甲烷干/蒸汽重整(DRM/SRM),将太阳能转化为合成气形式的化学能。然而,这些过程从根本上受到重整和反应热效应的热力学性质的限制,导致太阳能贡献低,化石燃料替代有限,CO2利用能力不足。为了应对这些挑战,本研究提出了一种创新的碳负太阳能燃料生产方法,通过化学环转换提高太阳能份额和减少二氧化碳的能力。该方法利用氧载体介导化学环反应,将传统的CH4 - CO2重整过程重组为CH4氧化和CO2还原两个独立的步骤,从而生产出高纯度的CO。利用聚光太阳能提供还原反应所需的热量。这一途径显著增加了总体反应热需求,使更高比例的太阳能转化为化学能,储存在产品富含co的合成气中。本研究通过实验验证了该方法的可行性。基于该方法,开发了一个负碳太阳能燃料生产系统,并通过热力学建模和参数分析对其性能进行了系统评价。有希望的结果表明,所提出的系统将太阳能份额提高到28.44%,比文献中报道的最有效的太阳能驱动SRM系统提高了7.19个百分点。此外,该系统将单位CH4的CO2减量提高到2.84,是传统DRM工艺(0.91 mol-CO2/mol-CH4)的2.12倍。生命周期评价进一步证实了SE-CL系统的碳负特性,总排放量为- 0.69 kg CO2-eq/kg- co。这些发现为提高可再生能源在能源结构中的份额提供了有效的解决方案,并为高价值利用二氧化碳提供了新的途径。

Biopower stands as a pivotal component of renewable energy, enabling stable electricity output and serving as a dispatchable resource. Nevertheless, its techno-economic viability as a long-term energy storage (LTES) solution for grid regulation remains underexplored. To address this, this study proposes utilizing biomass as a sustainable energy carrier and deploying the biomass-to-power (B2P) pathway for LTES. Considering the inherent limitations of B2P, it further puts forward operation strategies that integrate B2P with H2P (hydrogen-to-power) and A2P (ammonia-to-power) pathways. Then, the techno-economic model of six scenarios and long-term operation strategies is designed. The techno-economic performance of each pathway is assessed on monthly and yearly timescales. Results show that A2P achieves the highest average energy (61.23 %) and exergy (60.46 %) efficiencies, stemming from the inherently higher electrical efficiency of the direct ammonia-solid oxide fuel cell. Neither pathway of H2P nor A2P achieves lifecycle profitability. For the hybrid way of A2P with B2P integration, the overall average efficiency and exergy efficiency stand at 52.70 % and 44.30 %, respectively. Notably, the scenario exhibits the most favorable economic performance, achieving profitability in the 6th year with a net present value of 5.63 MUSD, and maintaining a superior positive discounted cash flow throughout the lifecycle. Moreover, it yields the levelized cost of electricity of 0.05–0.11 USD/kWh. Accordingly, the hybrid way of A2P with B2P integration demonstrates advantages both in technical and economic performance. It best balances technical and economic, making it suitable for large-scale deployment, especially in regions with high ammonia demand.
生物能源是可再生能源的关键组成部分,可以实现稳定的电力输出,并作为一种可调度的资源。然而,作为电网监管的长期储能(LTES)解决方案,其技术经济可行性仍未得到充分探索。为了解决这个问题,本研究建议利用生物质作为可持续能源载体,并为LTES部署生物质发电(B2P)途径。考虑到B2P的固有局限性,进一步提出了B2P与H2P(氢制电)和A2P(氨制电)途径相结合的运行策略。然后,设计了六种情景的技术经济模型和长期运营策略。每个路径的技术经济绩效是按月和年度时间尺度进行评估的。结果表明,A2P获得了最高的平均能量效率(61.23%)和火用效率(60.46%),这是由于直接氨-固体氧化物燃料电池固有的更高的电效率。H2P和A2P途径都无法实现生命周期盈利。对于A2P与B2P集成的混合方式,整体平均效率和火用效率分别为52.70%和44.30%。值得注意的是,该方案表现出最有利的经济表现,在第6年实现盈利,净现值为5.63亿美元,并在整个生命周期中保持优越的正贴现现金流。平均发电成本为0.05 ~ 0.11美元/千瓦时。因此,A2P与B2P集成的混合方式在技术和经济上都具有优势。它最好地平衡了技术和经济,使其适合大规模部署,特别是在氨需求高的地区。

The chiller is a critical component in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and its operating efficiency has a major impact on the overall energy performance of buildings. As a key performance indicator, accurately modeling the coefficient of performance (COP) of the chiller is critical. However, COP is significantly affected by system dynamics and uncertainties, which limit traditional neural network-based modeling methods due to their neglect of temporal dependencies in state evolution. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an SKR-based neural network (SKRNN) for COP modeling based on stable kernel representation framework. Firstly, a feature selection strategy is designed, which integrates minimum redundancy maximum relevance and autocorrelation/cross-lagged correlation analysis to distinguish between input and state features and eliminate redundancies. Secondly, an SKRNN modeling architecture is developed, which explicitly characterizes the nonlinear dynamic process of COP as a function of internal and external factors via an observer. Finally, a physically informed constraint loss function based on thermodynamic mechanisms is introduced to enhance the modeling performance of the model. SKRNN combines the strengths of state-space modeling and nonlinear fitting of neural networks, and achieves dynamic real-time COP modeling through output feedback. Its effectiveness has been validated with operational data from an actual building chiller system, comparative experiments with mainstream modeling methods demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively improve COP modeling accuracy.
制冷机是供暖、通风和空调(HVAC)系统中的关键部件,其运行效率对建筑物的整体能源性能有重大影响。作为一项关键的性能指标,冷水机组的性能系数(COP)的准确建模至关重要。然而,COP受系统动力学和不确定性的影响很大,传统的基于神经网络的建模方法由于忽略了状态演化中的时间依赖性而受到限制。为了解决这一问题,本文提出了一种基于稳定核表示框架的基于skr的COP建模神经网络(SKRNN)。首先,设计了一种融合最小冗余最大相关和自相关/交叉滞后相关分析的特征选择策略,区分输入特征和状态特征,消除冗余;其次,提出了一种SKRNN建模体系结构,通过观测器将COP的非线性动态过程明确表征为内外部因素的函数。最后,引入基于热力学机制的物理信息约束损失函数来提高模型的建模性能。SKRNN结合了神经网络的状态空间建模和非线性拟合的优点,通过输出反馈实现动态实时COP建模。通过实际建筑制冷系统的运行数据验证了该方法的有效性,并与主流建模方法进行了对比实验,结果表明该方法能有效提高COP建模精度。

TOMATOES: Topology and material optimization for latent heat thermal energy storage devices 番茄:潜热热能储存装置的拓扑结构和材料优化

Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems are compelling candidates for energy storage, primarily owing to their high storage density. Improving their performance is crucial for developing the next-generation efficient and cost effective devices. Topology optimization (TO) has emerged as a powerful computational tool to design LHTES systems by optimally distributing a high-conductivity material (HCM) and a phase change material (PCM). However, conventional TO typically limits itself to optimizing the geometry for fixed, pre-selected materials. This approach does not leverage the large and expanding databases of novel materials. Consequently, the co-design of material and geometry for LHTES remains a challenge and is largely unexplored.
To address this limitation, we present an automated design framework for the concurrent optimization of material choice and topology. A key challenge is the discrete nature of material selection, which is incompatible with the gradient-based methods used for TO. We overcome this by using a data-driven variational autoencoder (VAE) to project discrete material databases for both the HCM and PCM onto continuous and differentiable latent spaces. These continuous material representations are integrated into an end-to-end differentiable, transient nonlinear finite-element solver that accounts for phase change. We demonstrate this framework on a problem aimed at maximizing the discharged energy within a specified time, subject to cost constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through several illustrative examples.
潜热储能(LHTES)系统是令人信服的储能候选者,主要是由于它们的高存储密度。提高它们的性能对于开发下一代高效、低成本的器件至关重要。拓扑优化(TO)已经成为一种强大的计算工具,通过优化分布高导电性材料(HCM)和相变材料(PCM)设计LHTES系统。然而,传统的TO通常局限于优化固定的、预先选择的材料的几何形状。这种方法不能利用庞大且不断扩展的新材料数据库。因此,LHTES的材料和几何结构的协同设计仍然是一个挑战,并且在很大程度上尚未被探索。为了解决这一限制,我们提出了一个自动化设计框架,用于同时优化材料选择和拓扑结构。关键的挑战是材料选择的离散性,这与用于TO的基于梯度的方法不兼容。我们通过使用数据驱动的变分自编码器(VAE)将HCM和PCM的离散材料数据库投影到连续和可微的潜在空间中来克服这一问题。这些连续的材料表示被集成到一个端到端可微的、瞬态非线性有限元求解器中,该求解器考虑了相变。我们在一个问题上展示了这个框架,目的是在规定的时间内最大限度地释放能量,受到成本限制。通过算例验证了该方法的有效性。
