Through the use of a co-simulation technique requiring minimal programming effort, a suite of numerical solvers serving for modelling various WEC components is coupled to create a comprehensive system model for a single WEC unit. The modules of the Ansys software, Aqwa and Rigid Dynamics, are employed to model hydrodynamic loads and motion responses. Simulink is utilized to model the power take-off (PTO) system and then integrate all models into a global simulation. The capability and accuracy of the FMI-based co-simulation framework are validated against an experimental heave decay test and verified by cross-comparing a numerical model built in SESAM. Furthermore, the framework is expanded to encompass the modelling of a large-scale wave park that includes multiple WEC units. Based on a novel WEC concept called NoviOcean, two study cases of a single unit and an 18-unit wave park are investigated.

Silicon-based TEGs, while abundant and compatible with semiconductor manufacturing, are characterized by low thermoelectric efficiency due to high thermal conductivity and complex fabrication. In this study, we explore the possibility to use nanoporous silicon, fabricated through a metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) method, as a novel material for TEGs.

This research presents the synthesis and detailed characterization of nanoporous silicon, with a focus on optimizing porosity and layer thickness. The effects of SOD treatment on the electrical properties are also evaluated.

The focus on local information, such as PV time series and nearby clouds in the region of interest, contributes to more efficient feature extraction of satellite images. In this study, a deep learning method is proposed to strengthen the cross-modal correlation of global and local information in satellite image encoding and the multi-modal fusion stage.

These problems can be addressed by optimizing the bore field configuration and coupling the system with complementary energy sources. This study explores the relationship between the bore field configuration and the long-term performance of an ambient air-assisted hybrid ground source heat pump system. The hypothesis was that utilizing ambient air as a supplementary heat source effectively reduces the significance of the bore field configuration on the techno-economic performance of the system. Understanding this relationship can aid in designing more efficient systems. This paper presents quantitative effects of bore field layout and borehole spacing on the performance of AAA-GSHP systems, using several different performance metrics. The analysis encompassed various bore field configurations assessed for a traditional and an ambient air-assisted ground source heat pump system using dynamic energy simulations for a 50-year period with IDA ICE software. A key finding was that utilizing ambient air as an additional heat source highly effectively mitigates the effects of the bore field layout and spacing on the techno-economic performance of the system. By decreasing borehole spacing from 15 m to 5 m, the required land area was reduced by 89 % while simultaneously achieving a 25 % higher share of renewable energy production compared to the traditional solution. Depending on the bore field configuration, the ambient air-assisted system achieved a 0–31 % lower levelized cost of energy, 2–52 % lower CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, and a 9–58 % higher share of renewable energy production compared to the traditional system. The achieved benefits were particularly substantial with configurations where numerous boreholes were concentrated in a small land area. On average, 40 % of the thermal energy from the ambient air was charged in the bore field, while the remaining portion was utilized directly in the evaporator. The conversion of a traditional system to an ambient air-assisted system can be achieved with a technically straightforward solution that leverages existing technology, increasing the initial investment by only 6 %. The ambient air-assisted ground source heat pump system shows significant potential for applications with a year-round heating demand and limited land area for bore hole installation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11664,"journal":{"name":"Energy Conversion and Management","volume":"323 ","pages":"Article 119240"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that the accumulation of ammonia nitrogen (AN) from protein hydrolysis under high OLR conditions disrupted microbial growth and caused cell death on the electrode surface, hindering the electron transfer rate. Toxic AN reduced protein hydrolysis, led to propionate accumulation, inhibiting the acetoclastic methanogenesis process and favoring the hydrogenotrophic pathway.

This study undertakes both a geospatial analysis and techno-economic assessment of potential heat sources for DAC to examine the economic impact of different renewable heat source systems on the capture costs of large-scale LT-DAC plants. It does this by determining the location of these plants through the paradigm of identifying the ideal geographic and economic environment for the selected heat sources. Thus, the research aims to answer the following research questions: What heat sources are optimally suited for low-temperature (LT) DAC and what conditions are feasible for setup? Which geographic locations represent the ideal environment within Europe for each heat source? How do the selected heat sources and geographic locations impact the economic viability of LT-DAC? Drawing on Climeworks’ LT-DAC approach as a focal case, the heat sources of geothermal energy, parabolic trough collector (PTC), industrial waste heat (IWH), and high-temperature heat pump (HTHP) were chosen, to be separately deployed in Iceland, Spain, Germany, and Norway, respectively. Spain emerged as a highly promising location for the PTC, IWH, and HTHP systems while Iceland is most suitable for the geothermal, IWH, and HTHP systems. Norway is a promising country mostly for deploying a HTHP system, whereas Germany faces primarily environmental and legal barriers. The techno-economic assessment identified great variation in the LCOD costs for the different heat source systems, with the geothermal energy system exhibiting the lowest costs at 175.63 €/tCO<sub>2</sub> followed by the IWH, PTC, and HTHP systems. Future LCOD costs could potentially see a significant reduction of up to 66 % depending on the heat source system based on projected decreases in DAC CAPEX costs. A cost comparison revealed that current carbon price levels within the European Emission trading scheme are not expected to be sufficiently high enough to drive large investments in the development and scaling of LT-DAC.
