This work explores the application of an innovative control strategy in a scale fermentation bioreactor designed for energy recovery from organic wastes. This approach not only promotes low carbon emissions but also offers significant potential for industrial application. Machine learning (ML) and optimization methods are used to model the nonlinear process and then, a neural predictive control (NPC) strategy to drive the system to its optimal operating order under varying influent conditions is developed. Predictive control uses the Newton-Raphson as the optimization algorithm and a multi-layer feedforward neural network for the state prediction. This strategy has demonstrated to be a viable algorithm for real-time control applications. First, experimental data from continuous dark fermentation are modeled using support vector machine (SVM) algorithm for response prediction and then, optimization algorithms are employed to identify the key parameters that enhance H<sub>2</sub> production. These optimal operating parameters are then used to create reference trajectory signals within a NPC scheme to achieve the optimal hydrogen production rate. The control strategy led to an HPR mean of 12.35 ± 1.2 NL H<sub>2</sub>/L-d under pseudo-steady state with hydrogen content in the gaseous phase of 63 % <em>v/v</em>, and a maximum COD recovery of 90 ± 2.8 %. The results demonstrate that this innovative control method can significantly improve the performance and efficiency of biogas plants, showing viability for large-scale industrial implementation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100597,"journal":{"name":"Green Energy and Resources","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143152921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This involves calculating the levelized cost of energy in comparison to fossil-based energy sources and predicting the minimum and maximum energy output over the long term. Achieving this requires long-term forecasts of wind speeds at specific locations, which involve complex mathematical modeling and computations typically performed by supercomputers. In this study, a data-driven machine learning model has been employed to predict wind speeds in Calgary over a 25-year period with minimal CPU time. Throughout the power plant's operational life, the optimal model was also used to calculate the annual energy production. The hybrid CNN-LSTM model demonstrated superior accuracy based on model accuracy metrics.

The study examines operational changes and fuel usage at a local level, together with an extension to a regional scale considering both short-term and long-term energy system implications.

In this study, the effects of operating conditions (discharge frequency, input power, and gas flow rate) and geometrical parameters (discharge length, discharge gap, and dielectric materials) have been extensively analyzed using typical cylindrical dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma.

Based on the optical experiment of the methanol sprays under high-pressure injection conditions, the empirical models for predicting spray tip penetration, spray angle, spray area, and spray volume of diesel were used to calculate the parameters of the methanol sprays. These calculation values were then compared with the experimental values to establish empirical models of high-pressure methanol spray characteristics. On this basis, an assessment of the adaptability of the diesel spray similarity theory applied to the high-pressure methanol sprays was conducted under similarity conditions. The results show that Wakuri's model has the best predictive performance on the methanol spray tip penetration (the average relative error is 4.31%), and Inagaki's model provides the most precise predictions on the methanol spray angle (the average relative error is 2.63%). After correcting the constants, empirical models that can describe the methanol spray characteristics in this experiment were proposed. In terms of the similarity theory, the diesel spray similarity theory shows good adaptability to the spray tip penetration and spray angle of the high-pressure methanol sprays with nozzle diameters of 0.12 mm and 0.15 mm under similarity conditions.

Therefore, to promote energy and environmental conservation in drying, several solar dryers have been developed which offers limitless, clean, and free energy to dry agricultural product. Among these solar dryers, solar greenhouse dryers offer a very simple low-temperature, energy-efficient structure capable of drying large beds of crops by harnessing thermal radiation energy from the sun. To improve the thermal performance in the passive mode especially, several modification approaches have been adopted. This article, therefore, reviewed various possible modification methods that have been adopted to improve the thermal performance of the greenhouse, with a focus on the modification of the northern wall. The various strategies involved in the modification of the north wall structure include creating an opaque north wall with black painted materials, installing a reflective north wall using a mirror, integrating heat storage materials like pebbles or brick, integrating phase change materials into the north wall, digging the soil depth to form a north wall and creating a variable southern roof with a modified north wall. Modifying the northern wall showed higher drying chamber temperature compared to completely transparent convectional greenhouse dryers in all the studies. These modifications can increase the temperature of the modified greenhouse by 13.38∼21.10% for a natural convection solar greenhouse dryer compared to the conventional type. With this approach, the radiation losses from the northern wall can be minimized and the energy management system of the greenhouse can be optimized for higher performance, making it more sustainable and eliminating the use of fossil fuel in agricultural product drying.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100597,"journal":{"name":"Green Energy and Resources","volume":"2 4","pages":"Article 100104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143144791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
