- Abstract:
- ... The paper proposes a bi-level optimisation framework for Electric Vehicle (EV) fleet charging based on a realistic EV fleet model including a transport demand sub-model. The EV fleet is described by an aggregate battery model, which is parameterised by using recorded driving cycle data of a delivery vehicle fleet. The EV fleet model is used within the inner level of the bi-level optimisation frame ...

- Abstract:
- ... Given the acceleration of global warming and rising greenhouse gas emissions, all countries are facing the harsh reality of the need to reduce carbon emissions. In this study, we propose an index to quantify the pressure faced by policymakers to reduce such emissions, termed the carbon emissions reduction index. This index allows us to observe the effect of carbon emissions volume on the pressure ...

- Abstract:
- ... Emission trading scheme (ETS) is considered as a cost-effective way to cut emissions. This study evaluates the economic impacts of ETS policy by using a static computable general equilibrium (CGE) model in Shanghai, one of China’s seven ETS pilots. Three scenarios are set considering the target of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) by 2030, including a reference scenario, carbon c ...

The AG2S technology is a completely new effective route of processing acid gases: H2S and CO2 are converted into syngas (CO and H2) by means of a regenerative thermal reactor. To show the application of the AG2S technology, modeling and simulation advances for gasification sy ...

- Abstract:
- ... Microfluidic fuel cell (MFC) stacking is a prerequisite to improve its power output for practical applications. Unlike the stacking of membrane-based fuel cells, MFC stacking generally involves complex fluidic management, such as anolyte and catholyte distribution, and spent electrolyte collection, which greatly increases the system’s complexity. In addition, the operational robustness of MFC stac ...

Models taking into account the dynamic of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon may be useful tools to help urban planners in this task. In this paper, we propose a new methodology to assess the energy demands for space heating in buildings at city scale: a degree-day method is applied, coupled wi ...

- Abstract:
- ... The accurate identification of battery model parameters is critical to the development of the battery management system (BMS). For large capacity Li-ion batteries, different internal processes happen inside the cell during charging and discharging, which introduce the complex dynamics that occur on different time scales. The multi time-scaled effect of the battery dynamics imposes difficulties on ...

Existing HEV market penetration models focus on a single linear process, such as purchasing, without considering other processes. Market penetration policies based on such models can facilitate a single process, but they cannot boost market penetration as planned. Comb ...

- Abstract:
- ... Pyrolysis of glycerol, a by-product of the biodiesel industry, is an important potential source of hydrogen. The obtained high calorific value gas can be used either as a fuel for combined heat and power (CHP) generation or as a transportation fuel (for example hydrogen to be used in fuel cells). Optimal process conditions can improve glycerol pyrolysis by increasing gas yield and hydrogen concent ...

Shading devices can in fact largely influence solar gains in a building and improve thermal and lighting comforts by selectively intercepting the solar radiation and by reducing the undesirable glare. A proper shading device can ...

Independent owners of distributed energy resources (DERs) can be integrated to form a coalition in order to trade in either retail markets (under predetermined tariffs) or wholesale markets using the virtual power plant (VPP) concept. The consequent coordinated operation of DERs entails a surplus profit in respect to the summation of their individual profits. In this paper, the reasons behind such ...

A novel generic sequential input–output framework is developed to model the economy-wide changes in resource consumption and environmental emissions as a result of combined applied energy policies, e.g. taxes for non-renewables and subsidies for renewables. Many input–output analyses are based on a single period analysis. However, in the case of analyzing the effects of multiple policy interventio ...
