CCUS technologies are vital for achieving significant emissions reductions, with post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) emerging as a promising solution. However, high costs and energy penalties hinder its widespread adoption. Recent advancements in hybrid PCC configurations offer improved efficiency and cost reduction, necessitating comprehensive evaluations. This study investigates six feasible hybrid PCC configurations, integrating absorption, absorption, and membrane technologies, to identify the most viable option for CO₂ capture from natural gas power plants (NGPPs). A rigorous techno-economic evaluation is performed using Aspen Hysys design simulation and economic metrics, including investment costs, production costs, net present value, rate of return, levelized cost of electricity, carbon emission intensity, and cost of carbon avoidance. Dimensional analysis reveals the two-stage membrane + absorbent hybrid (2S-MB + AB) configuration as the most promising option. It demonstrates significant cost savings potential, with a 25% reduction in carbon capture costs. Sensitivity analyses highlight the critical role of optimal material selection, specifically membranes, and absorbents, in commercializing this technology. The findings contribute to developing efficient and cost-effective CCUS solutions, aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change. The recommended 2S-MB + AB configuration offers a promising solution for reducing CO₂ emissions from NGPPs, providing valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers. This research informs emissions regulations and incentives for CCUS adoption, guides investment decisions and technology development, and identifies further research and development areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":"13 5","pages":"2247-2261"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.2052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919927","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}

Optimal reactive power planning (ORPP) can enhance voltage stability and provide much-needed support for grid operation. Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices can provide the necessary reactive compensation in the form of series and shunt compensation devices, which, together with Distributed Generation (DG) units, can enhance voltage stability and prevent potentially catastrophic events such as voltage collapse or blackouts. In this study, the L-index and the fast voltage stability index (FVSI) are used to evaluate voltage stability in the system. Objective functions are developed that incorporate the cost of the FACTS devices and the stability indices to provide a basis for optimizing system operation. Optimization was performed for the series and shunt compensations separately. Moreover, a multi-objective optimization is also presented that incorporates both devices together. Results show that using both series and shunt compensation enhances voltage stability. Furthermore, combining both methods provides a significant improvement over their individual enhancements. Increasing the penetration of DG sources also provides significant improvement in system stability. The main findings conclude that both real and reactive power injections can improve system stability; however, careful considerations should be made when choosing the best location and sizing for the FACTS devices and the DG sources to maximize the benefits of their use on voltage stability.</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":"13 6","pages":"2720-2756"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244830","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}

However, most existing health assessment models assume attribute independence, whereas in real-world engineering applications, correlations between attributes can degrade modeling performance and compromise robustness. To quickly and effectively address the impact of attribute correlation on the model, this paper proposes the BRB model, which is based on correlation decoupling (BRB-CD). The method introduces a decoupling matrix calculation strategy based on correlation analysis. First, the decoupling matrix is constructed based on the attribute features and its parameters are optimized by minimizing the correlation coefficient between attributes. Second, the input data are transformed using the decoupling matrix, and the data after decoupling is used as the new input to reduce the effects of redundant information and perturbations. Finally, through the experimental validation of the health state assessment of the WD615 diesel engine, it is found that the BRB-CD model can realize more accurate health state assessment, and the model has better robustness.</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":"13 6","pages":"2911-2921"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.70076","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244624","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 goal is to enhance brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and reduce emissions in alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7 and 11, which focus on clean energy and sustainable cities. The SO biodiesel was produced via transesterification of algae grown in recycled wastewater, while WP oil was obtained through pyrolysis at 450°C. n-Heptane was added to optimize the blend, and 4 liters per minute of acetylene was inducted into the intake manifold. Results showed that the SO5WP5H10 blend improved BTE by 0.93% at no load and reduced brake-specific energy consumption (BSEC) by 0.686 MJ/kW-h at part load, compared to diesel. Emission reductions included a 28% decrease in hydrocarbon (HC) emissions and a 35% reduction in carbon monoxide (CO) emissions at full load with the SO20WP20H10 blend. Smoke opacity decreased by 19% at maximum load. In terms of combustion, the SO5WP5H10 blend achieved a peak in-cylinder pressure of 77.5 bar and an efficient mass fraction burnt (MFB), reaching 90% at 25^o CA after TDC. Overall, SOPWH blends showed enhanced combustion efficiency and cleaner emissions, positioning them as a sustainable alternative to diesel, without the need for engine modifications.

To understand the mechanism of this phenomenon, the study comparatively investigated the embedding process of proppant in homogeneous formations, layered formations, and continuously varying inhomogeneous formations with finite element methods. Specifically, formation properties, in terms of the inhomogeneous formations, are defined as the nonlinear function of a constant position with the field-variable (FV) method. The results show that equating nonhomogeneous formation to homogeneous formation underestimates the depth of proppant embedment in actual hydraulic fractures, which varies with proppant size. Next, the underestimation of proppant embedment in homogeneous formation, in turn, results in an overestimation of hydraulic fracture permeability. The FV method can more accurately characterize the proppant embedding process in inhomogeneous formations and reflect the fracture permeability after proppant embedding.

Most of the analyses are performed at the design stage, while the actual machine behavior is different due to imperfections like unbalance, misalignment, cracks, and so forth.

Vibration data of the rotor is compared with that of the developed numerical model. The reference model representation of the actual machine in terms of critical speed and vibration value is found to be 99.7% and 99.1%, respectively. Rotodynamic analyses of numerical models are performed for early identification of faults under various scenarios of unbalance, crack, and crack with unbalance. For these scenarios, modal analysis and harmonic analysis are performed. Natural frequencies and vibration behavior are utilized to capture the variation that indicates the presence of a fault.

Due to the low permeability and micro-scale migration characteristics of deep coalbed methane, its exploitation requires different approaches compared to shallow coalbed methane. This paper, based on the embedded discrete fracture numerical simulation technology used for shale gas, considering the shrinkage effect of coal matrix, establishes a triple-medium flow model comprising cleats, natural fractures, and artificial fractures to simulate the deep coalbed methane extraction process. When compared with traditional numerical simulation methods using real well data, the new model improves accuracy by 8.08%. The sensitivity analysis of engineering parameters and geological parameters in the development of deep coalbed methane reveals that the gas content coal seams are the main factors affecting gas production. To obtain high-yield gas wells, it is necessary to create a complex hydraulic pressure fracture network in high gas content layers. This study provides a new numerical simulation model for deep coalbed methane development.
