The large number of parameters (40) arises from pyrolysis, combustion, and gasification reactions, as well as heat-transfer phenomena inside the gasifier and associated heat-integration system. Due to complexity of the model and the limited available data, only a subset of the parameters can be reliably estimated. A sensitivity-based approach is used to determine the appropriate number of parameters to estimate while preventing overfitting. It is hypothesized that estimating these important parameters will result in better model predictions. The 40 parameters are ranked from most-estimable to least-estimable based on sensitivity information and initial parameter uncertainties. A mean-squared-error criterion is then used to determine that 27 parameters should be estimated using data from 15 experimental runs, with the remaining 13 parameters fixed at their initial values. A diagnosis of the 13 low-ranked parameters reveals that 8 parameters are not estimated due to correlation with high-ranked parameters and that the remaining 5 parameters have little influence on model predictions. The model is validated using two runs not used for parameter tuning. The updated model is used to predict that a taller gasifier would not improve the quality of the producer gas. Simulations show that increasing the producer-gas demand by 50% results in a 15.2% decrease in H<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf>/CO ratio, a 52.6% increase in tar content in the producer gas, and a 44% increase in electrical energy output.","PeriodicalId":11664,"journal":{"name":"Energy Conversion and Management","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825119","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}

Previous studies have faced challenges including inconsistent wind speed data quality, unquantified uncertainties in distribution parameters, and flawed methods for estimating theoretical wind potential. Therefore, this study introduced a Hierarchical Bayesian-Monte Carlo framework that processed multi-year and multi-source wind speed data in a probabilistic and hierarchical manner. It could quantify the uncertainties associated with wind speed distributions and their parameters and reduce prediction errors by integrating the historical data. Moreover, the effects of wind speed and air density variations over the blade sweep height and the maximum possible power coefficient were considered on the traditional method of estimating theoretical wind potential. The results showed that the wind speed distributions in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau followed Weibull functions, with the prior distributions of their parameters <ce:italic>k</ce:italic> and <ce:italic>λ</ce:italic> being gamma functions. Using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to simulate the posterior distributions indicated that the overall standard deviations after merging the two chains of <ce:italic>k</ce:italic> and <ce:italic>λ</ce:italic> were less than 0.0193 and 0.0244 m/s, respectively. The uncertainties of <ce:italic>k</ce:italic> and <ce:italic>λ</ce:italic> were less than 0.08 and 0.097 m/s, respectively. The discrepancies between the predicted and actual wind speeds were less than 0.089 m/s. These findings confirmed the validity and reliability of the Hierarchical Bayesian-Monte Carlo model. Furthermore, in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, 19.31 % of the area had the maximum theoretical wind potential, 21.43 % a high level, and 19.78 % a moderate level.

The results show that high compression ratio spark ignition engines are prone to autoignition, however, a trade-off relationship exists between high percentage of compression ignition combustion and the optimal combustion phase. As low percentage of compression ignition is favorable for engine efficiency, reduction of the combustion intensity should be considered. Under spark ignition assistance, both single-fuel and dual-fuel combustion exhibit a combustion mode where spark ignition and compression ignition occur simultaneously, which is defined as spark-assisted compression ignition combustion mode. The peak value (HP) for the second derivative of heat release rate at the onset of a combustion mode is strongly correlated with burning intensity and can be used to identify different combustion modes.

The effects of pressure ranging from 5.5 to 23 MPa, polymer concentrations between 30–83 wt%, and temperatures of 425 and 450 °C. The oil, gas, and solid products obtained were analyzed by quantifying their total yields, and the chemical compositions of the oil, aqueous phase products and gas were analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and gas chromatography coupled to a thermal conductivity detector (GC-TCD) respectively. The results show comparable oil yields (∼83 %) between reactions conducted at lower pressures with SHS and those operated at 23 MPa with SCW. Notably, the chemical composition of the oils − primarily olefins and paraffins − remained identical regardless of changes in pressure; the same was observed when increasing polymer concentration under conditions with SHS. At higher temperatures (450 °C), complete conversion of PE into valuable chemicals, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) in the oil was observed.

Bio-energy is an attractive option to supply power during low wind or non-sunshine hours. In response, this study comprehensively analyzed the feasibility of implementing a hybrid energy system that incorporates biomass, solar, wind, and grid energy in a higher education institution.

This study developed a method to predict the system comprehensive coefficient of performance (SCOP) of hybrid system to optimize system structure and operation. Taking a cooling tower-assisted GSHP in a residential district in a hot summer and cold winter region as an example, a multivariate nonlinear regression prediction model for SCOP was derived based on the data recorded from May to September 2021 by the Building Energy Management System (BEMS) and the simulation results using TRNSYS software. Outdoor dry bulb, wet bulb temperatures, soil temperature, and auxiliary cooling ratio (ACR) are involved in the model. Based on model prediction and system simulation, the ACR of cooling tower-chiller unit should take 0.7 of the accumulated cooling load, considering the SCOP in summer and sustainability for long-term. An operation strategy has been proposed, prioritizing the operation of cooling tower-chiller and controlling the temperature difference between supply and return chilled water within 6℃. The average SCOP of the existing hybrid system can reach 5.56, and the soil temperature rise is within 4℃ over 15 years.
