The study simultaneously focuses on reducing traction energy consumption in rail transport and lowering CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from steel production, demonstrating an interdisciplinary engineering–environmental approach. A theoretical model for train energy consumption during movement across various track sections is developed, incorporating Newton's second law and accounting for forces such as traction, resistance, incline, and braking. The model simulates energy consumption for different speeds, gradients, section lengths, and travel times. Results indicate that energy consumption increases with higher speeds and steeper gradients, but decreases on descending sections, aligning with expected train dynamics. These findings are validated through experiments, showing a margin of error between 2.6% and 4.5%, confirming the model's accuracy. At a speed of 60 km/h, experimental and theoretical energy consumption for a straight section were nearly identical. Even on inclined and descending sections, discrepancies were minimal, supporting the model's reliability. Numerical simulations for a 40 km route at speeds between 60 and 160 km/h showed traction energy savings of 425.69–1199.65 kWh per train, while the railcar mass was reduced by 7.24% through design optimization. The forecast for railcar production to 2030 suggests an increase of 13.7%, which requires further structure optimization measures to minimize the environmental impact. According to the study, reducing the mass of railcars will reduce the need for steel by 1520.95–2465.24 tons per year, which will lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 3041.91-4930.48 tons per year.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11647,"journal":{"name":"Energy","volume":"347 ","pages":"Article 140371"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146187286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental evidence confirms that shear-induced dilation significantly impacts reservoir permeability. Consequently, this study establishes a Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) coupled model based on Discrete Fracture Networks (DFN) to quantitatively characterize network connectivity and investigate the dynamic evolution of fracture apertures driven by shear dilation in multi-stage fractured horizontal wells. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the impact of fracture morphological parameters and operational parameters on heat extraction performance. Results indicate that rock deformation is predominantly localized around the injection well, while stress perturbations attenuate continuously toward the production well. Notably, fractures with larger strike angles exhibit significant aperture expansion induced by shear dilation, a phenomenon further amplified by increased in-situ stress differences. Crucially, the sensitivity analysis reveals that heat extraction performance exhibits significantly higher sensitivity to fracture morphological parameters than to operational parameters. Consequently, optimizing multi-stage fracturing configurations is identified as a key strategy to mitigate thermal breakthrough.

Conventional ambient air vaporizers face critical limitations, including low air-side heat transfer coefficients (&lt;10 W m<sup>−2</sup> K<sup>−1</sup>) and large footprints, due to reliance on natural convection. To overcome these challenges, this study proposes a novel Natural Draft-Integrated Ambient Air Vaporizer (NDAAV). Inspired by natural draft dry cooling towers, the NDAAV reconfigures air-side heat transfer to buoyancy-driven forced convection via a hyperbolic tower structure that harnesses stack effects. Comprehensive 1-D and 3-D modeling validates the concept, demonstrating a 485% enhancement in the air-side convective heat transfer coefficient (55.78 W m<sup>−2</sup> K<sup>−1</sup>) and a 477% increase in the overall heat transfer coefficient under dry design conditions. Sensitivity analysis confirms robust off-design performance during ambient and LNG parameter fluctuations. Furthermore, while frost formation under high humidity can degrade performance by impeding the buoyancy-driven flow, the NDAAV maintains a significant thermal advantage over conventional AAVs across most operating scenarios. Multi-objective optimization identifies an optimal tower aspect ratio of 1.33, enabling simultaneous footprint reduction (64–70%) and capital cost savings (35–38%) across capacities of 100,000–500,000 Nm<sup>3</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>.

Therefore, accurate and reliable PVPG prediction is crucial for enhancing grid stability. However, existing data-driven prediction methods often overlook the system's inherent physical mechanism, which can lead to prediction results that violate actual operating laws. This study presents a physics-constrained hybrid model, integrating Transformer and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with a secondary decomposition strategy, for the multi-step short-term forecasting of PVPG. Initially, a Seasonal and Trend Decomposition using Loess (STL) method is utilized to decompose the original dataset. Subsequently, variational mode decomposition (VMD), optimized by an improved Dream Optimization Algorithm (DOA), is utilized to decompose the residual term. Subsequently, the decomposed components and the screened features are fed into a hybrid Transformer-LSTM model, with its hyperparameter optimized by an improved Dream Optimization Algorithm, to complete the final power prediction. To ensure the predictions adhere to the physical principles of photovoltaic power generation, the model utilizes a designed physics-constrained loss function specifically. On the Australian dataset, the proposed model is evaluated and is observed to achieve better performance than other methods in both prediction accuracy and robustness. Specifically, on Site 1, the R-squared and RMSE for the overall prediction performance are 0.9423 and 0.2326, respectively, demonstrating superior prediction performance.

Considering the non-equilibrium phase-change processes induced by strongly varying temperature and pressure conditions at the compressor inlet, the present study investigates moist air condensation through a combined experimental and numerical approach based on transonic Laval nozzle flows. A new droplet growth model is employed to predict non-equilibrium condensation processes of particulate-laden moist air in both a transonic Laval nozzle and compressor blade passages relevant to CAES systems. An integrated research approach combining experimental measurements and numerical simulations is adopted, enabling reliable prediction of condensation-induced shock structures and pressure variations under humid operating conditions. This study develops a comprehensive mathematical and physical framework and proposes a blended condensation model to capture the complex interplay between vapor condensation and particle-induced nucleation. The proposed model is validated against experimental and numerical results obtained in a transonic Laval nozzle, demonstrating reliable predictive capability. Building upon this validation, the model is further applied to investigate the flow structure and condensation behavior within compressor rotor passages under moist air conditions. The influences of inlet air temperature ranging from 282.05 to 303.15 K and relative humidity varying between 20% and 83.7% on condensation behavior and compressor-relevant performance parameters are systematically analyzed. The results show that increasing inlet relative humidity leads to an earlier onset of condensation and increases total pressure loss by approximately 6–10%, accompanied by a reduction in isentropic efficiency of up to 3%.

Furthermore, condensation-related irreversibility is found to intensify with decreasing inlet temperature and increasing humidity, highlighting its non-negligible impact on CAES compressor performance.
