To address variations in model performance and data distribution, a drift-aware ensemble learning framework is employed to adaptively select and combine models for carbon prices forecasting. First, thirty candidate models are generated by integrating data processing techniques with multiple forecast models to comprehensively capture sample information. Second, an initial selection process of candidate models is dynamically executed utilizing a performance drift detection mechanism. Following each drift detection, a second-stage selection is performed given the significance of diversity in ensemble models. Finally, final predictions are calculated by combining the outputs of selected models via a sliding-window weighted average. Carbon price data from four distinct trading markets in China are employed to validate the efficacy of the drift-aware dynamic ensemble (DDE) framework.

Considering disturbances and high coupling of FPLG, a sliding mode controller is employed to track reference piston trajectory.

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model for a turbulent jet ignition (TJI) WRE fueled by low-temperature hydrogen was established. The effects of low temperature and TJI on the in-cylinder flow field, combustion, emissions and leakage in the TJI-WRE fueled by low-temperature hydrogen were studied under different ignition timings. The results indicated that low-temperature tends to suppress the flame propagation, whereas TJI can accelerate the flame speed and promote flame propagation to the unburned zone in the combustion chamber. Combining low-temperature hydrogen with the passive pre-chamber can achieve high engine thermal efficiency and power while significantly reducing leakage.

First, our paper proposed a CNPSSO model of four seasonal typical days by jointly considering the regional hourly disparities of load curves and renewable power output curves. Then, the model creatively introduced the effects of extreme weather on the power supply and demand curves based on various scenario analyses.
