Hence, this study proposes a virtual cluster partitioning model for active distribution networks using a quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm and sector search, aiming to achieve autonomy within clusters and coordination between clusters. First, the article proposes a sector search model that transforms the topological connections of the distribution network into mathematical expressions. This model simplifies the search for node locations and improves the algorithm's convergence speed. Building upon the traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, this study introduces the wave function and Schrödinger equation to enhance algorithm performance. By treating the vectors obtained from sector searches as particles, the proposed QPSO algorithm significantly improves both the search efficiency and global convergence in solving the virtual cluster partitioning model. Finally, case studies conducted on the modified PG&amp;E 69-node system demonstrated the proposed method's significant advantages. The method improved computational efficiency, with a cluster power supply rate over 0.6 and modularity above 0.7, ensuring balanced partitioning. The scalability and effectiveness of the proposed method were validated on an 85-node system, achieving balanced cluster partitioning with high operational efficiency and adaptability.</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":"13 4","pages":"1883-1895"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 lack of appropriate alternative coarse and fine aggregates essential in concrete production is one of the critical issues faced by the construction industry. This review evaluates its environmental benefits, chemical and physical attributes, and influence on GPC's microstructure. Previous studies have shown that incorporating POC in GPC significantly reduces density from 2345 to 1821 kg/m³ while maintaining competitive compressive strength, thus proving its applicability in various structural and nonstructural contexts. Moreover, GPC with POC demonstrates enhanced resistance to aggressive environmental conditions such as water absorption and resistance against acid and sulfate environments. Geopolymer mortar (GPM) exposed to sulfate attack recorded the lowest decrease in strength than GPM containing POC fine aggregates by about 20%. The use of 100% POC aggregates in GPC mix has a 3.2% water absorption, which is lower than the limit for high-performance concrete.

This study undertakes a comprehensive techno-economic evaluation of three primary CO₂ capture technologies—pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion—integrated with natural gas power plants. Utilizing Aspen HYSYS design simulation and economic assessments, the technical and economic viability of each technology were investigated, considering key metrics such as levelized cost of energy (LCOE), carbon emission intensity (CEI), cost of carbon avoidance (COA), investment costs, production costs, net present value, and rate of return. A multi-criteria evaluation framework incorporating dimensional analysis was employed to compare the technologies, and the results revealed post-combustion capture as the most viable option with a cost factor (CF) value of 0.85, striking an optimal balance between efficiency, costs, and environmental impact. With minimized TIC and TPC, well below the conventional processes, this study produced a unique framework for reducing costs in CCS technology deployment. Conversely, oxy-fuel combustion has huge drawbacks regarding low profitability as it was found to have the highest total investment cost (TIC) of $8,258,483.99 and annual production cost (APC) of $9,234,870. In contrast, a higher CEI of 0.05 tCO₂/MWh and COA of $150.33/tCO₂ make pre-combustion less environmentally friendly than the three technologies. The findings of this study provide critical insights to inform decision-making in CCUS development, supporting a low-carbon energy transition.

Therefore, binary blends of hydrogen (H₂) and diesel in different ratios are predominantly focused in literature to mitigate these emissions. Extensive research has been carried out using binary blends of H₂ and diesel, but still, there is a lack of research on performance analysis of binary and ternary blends of ammonia (NH₃), H_2, and diesel in CI engines. Therefore, this research article examines various blends to determine various key performance parameters such as brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), brake torque, brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC), and NOx emissions with and without exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). This research introduces a model of a single-cylinder CI engine developed within the Ricardo wave program, which was simulated across a range of ratios for binary and ternary blends. The simulations were conducted at a compression ratio of 21 and engine speed from 500 to 3000 rpm. Validation of the developed model is carried out against experimental data reported in the literature, and the absolute error was less than 5%, which validates the accuracy of the developed model. Results show that the BTE increases rapidly from 28% to 38% for the investigated binary blends (with 10% NH₃ to 90%) and 25% to 40% for the investigated ternary blended fuels at engine load from 500 to 2000 rpm, respectively. The maximum efficiency is observed in the case of 50% diesel and 50% NH₃ (D50A50) for the binary blends and 50% diesel, 25% NH₃ and 25% H₂ (D50A25H25) for the ternary blends. However, D50A50 and D50A25H25 exhibit 20% and 30% increased levels of NOx compared to diesel, respectively, particularly at higher engine speeds.
