However, improving irregular power profiles of the shipboard microgrid can be highly challenging due to the distributed power resources and multi-scenario loads involved. To guarantee the “green, safe and sustainable future” of the shipping industry, large-scale energy storage systems (ESSs) integration has been identified as an effective solution for improving the operating flexibility and reliability of the shipboard microgrid and reducing environmental impacts. However, this paper found that uncertain marine environmental disturbances will protrude state coupling characteristics of ESSs, bringing more uncertain operating states than land-based applications. Therefore, the corresponding uncertain navigation conditions tightly couple the conventional loads allocating with ESS management and make the shipboard microgrids a complex power-transport and information-transport nexus. In this paper, voltage issues of the shipboard microgrid are comprehensively summarized, and a power control model of the shipboard microgrid is mathematically modeled to formulate irregular power profiles. Then, the impact of uncertain marine environmental disturbances on ESSs is discussed for the first time, thereby proposing a preliminary state coupling model of ESS based on our battery test experiment of six months. Finally, the formulated model is analytically reviewed according to different power control approaches, and a novel adaptive power allocation scheme is proposed to account for two major issue of resources and loads coupling characteristics and ESS states coupling characteristics, which can superior deal with non-periodic and irregular power flows and shipboard ESS dynamics. Future research directions are discussed regarding high-precision power control models of ESSs and integrated shipboard cyber–physical controller systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101199,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Horizons","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100094"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772737824000063/pdfft?md5=6fca8517912265d6dc1320036f74c5ca&pid=1-s2.0-S2772737824000063-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139935964","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}

In this study, NBC was prepared using two different nitrogen doping methods: carbonization of urea mixed with maize straw (NBC1) and carbonization of urea mixed with pristine biochar obtained from maize straw (NBC2). Catalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) in the presence of peroxydisulfate (PDS) and biochar catalyst was examined, and process factors and reaction mechanism were fully explored.

The air pollution challenges in developing countries are complex and cannot be solved merely through a city-centric approach, requiring a suitable framework for regional airshed approach to better comprehend the sources, impacts and design adequate response, rather than localised action within administrative boundaries of a city. The implementation of the airshed approach in developing countries may encounter challenges due to various constraints, including limited resources, specifically in terms of finance, and a shortage of trained researchers, such as modellers. Additionally, the lack of high-performance computational facilities and institutional networking further adds to the difficulties faced by these countries. Thus, the main objective of this review paper is to critically analyse the various airshed approaches that are commonly used in the developed countries. By doing so, the review identify gaps in air pollution mitigation strategies specifically in developing countries and proposes a cost-effective and practical airshed management framework that can be implemented in developing countries. Airshed delineation should be based on scientific assessment of air pollution transport and accumulation through representative stations in an airshed and robust source apportionment combining meteorological factors. The domain falling in the spatial extent of airshed may be classified as nonattainment areas for maintaining the uniformity in control actions and effective implementation. Building on city-specific airshed framework, an institutional framework for regional airshed management has also been suggested for planning, monitoring and implementing the participatory approach with financial autonomy and extant regulatory backup.

Whilst doing so, we monitored indoor and outdoor (I/O) concentrations of particulate matter (PM) and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and assessed horizontal and vertical variation of CO<sub>2</sub>. We found that short indoor public events can raise CO<sub>2</sub> up to 1000 ppm; people's movements during these events can elevate PM<sub>10</sub> concentration. The PM<sub>10</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations increased with the number of occupants and their distribution inside the ZCG building. Dust resuspension due to occupant activities was the main driver for high PM<sub>10</sub> concentrations, while the smaller particles (PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>1</sub>) were linked to the ingress from outside. In addition, the change in the number of occupants showed no effect on PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>1</sub> concentrations. We found significant stratification in CO<sub>2</sub> in the vertical direction, accumulating CO<sub>2</sub> close to the ceiling inside the building.
