However, most optimization research on hybrid energy storage has adopted rule-based passive-control principles, failing to fully leverage the advantages of active energy storage. To address this gap in the literature, this study develops a detailed model for an industrial park energy system with hybrid energy storage (IPES-HES), taking into account the operational characteristics of energy devices such as lithium batteries and thermal storage tanks. An active operation strategy for hybrid energy storage is proposed that uses decision variables based on hourly power outputs from the energy storage of the subsequent day. An optimization configuration model for an IPES-HES is formulated with the goals of reducing costs and lowering carbon emissions and is solved using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). A method using the improved NSGA-II is developed for day-ahead nonlinear scheduling, based on configuration optimization. The research findings indicate that the system energy bill and the peak power of the IPES-HES under the optimization-based operational strategy are reduced by 181.4 USD (5.5%) and 1600.3 kW (43.7%), respectively, compared with an operation strategy based on proportional electricity storage on a typical summer day. Overall, the day-ahead nonlinear optimal scheduling method developed in this study offers guidance to fully harness the advantages of active energy storage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"46 ","pages":"Pages 331-347"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143684298","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}

Nevertheless, it is a major challenge to determine how to give full play to the advantages of the two phases of the bimetal and achieve outstanding comprehensive properties. In this study, an ultrafine-grained W–Cu bimetal with spatially connected Cu and specific W islands was fabricated through a designed powder-mixing process and subsequent rapid low-temperature sintering. The prepared bimetal concurrently has a high yield strength, large plastic strain, and high electrical conductivity. The stress distribution and strain response of individual phases in different types of W–Cu bimetals under loading were quantified by means of a simulation. The high yield strength of the reported bimetal results from the microstructure refinement and high contiguity of the grains in the W islands, which enhance the contribution of W to the total plastic deformation of the bimetal. The high electrical conductivity is attributed to the increased mean free path of the Cu and the reduced proportion of phase boundaries due to the specific phase combination of W islands and Cu. This work provides new insight into modulating phase configuration in immiscible metallic composites to achieve high-level multi-objective properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"46 ","pages":"Pages 224-235"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143684289","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}

Despite the flourishing development of thermal invisibility schemes, they still face two limitations in practical applications. First, objects are typically completely enclosed in traditional cloaks, making them difficult to use and unsuitable for objects with heat sources. Second, although some theoretical proposals have been put forth to change the thermal conductivity of materials to achieve dynamic invisibility, their designs are complex and rigid, making them unsuitable for large-scale use in real three-dimensional (3D) spaces. Here, we propose a concept of a thermal dome to achieve 3D invisibility. Our scheme includes an open functional area, greatly enhancing its usability and applicability. It features a reconfigurable structure, constructed with simple isotropic natural materials, making it suitable for dynamic requirements. The performance of our reconfigurable thermal dome has been confirmed through simulations and experiments, consistent with the theory. The introduction of this concept can greatly advance the development of thermal invisibility technology from theory to engineering and provide inspiration for other physical domains, such as direct current electric fields and magnetic fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"46 ","pages":"Pages 236-244"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143684290","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}

Despite its importance, there is a lack of empirical assessments of early opportunities for CCUS implementation in the cement sector. In this study, a comprehensive onshore and offshore source–sink matching optimization assessment framework for CCUS retrofitting in the cement industry, called the SSM-Cement framework, is proposed. The framework comprises four main modules: the cement plant suitability screening module, the storage site assessment module, the source–sink matching optimization model module, and the economic assessment module. By applying this framework to China, 919 candidates are initially screened from 1132 existing cement plants. Further, 603 CCUS-ready cement plants are identified, and are found to achieve a cumulative emission reduction of 18.5 Gt CO<sub>2</sub> from 2030 to 2060 by meeting the CCUS feasibility conditions for constructing both onshore and offshore CO<sub>2</sub> transportation routes.

Hydrates can form, accumulate, and settle in pipelines, causing blockages, reducing transport capacity, and leading to significant economic losses and fatalities. As oil and gas exploration moves deeper into the ocean, the issue of hydrate blockages has become more severe. It is essential to take adequate measures promptly to mitigate the hazards of hydrate blockages after they form. However, a prerequisite for effective mitigation is accurately detecting the location and amount of hydrate formation. This article summarizes the temperature–pressure, acoustic, electrical, instrumental–response, and flow characteristics of hydrate formation and blocking under various conditions. It also analyzes the principles, limitations, and applicability of various blockage detection methods, including acoustic, transient, and fiber-optic-based methods. Finally, it lists the results of field experiments and commercially used products. Given their advantages of accuracy and a wide detection range, acoustic pulse reflectometry and transient-based methods are considered effective for detecting hydrate blockages in future underwater pipelines. Using strict backpressure warnings combined with accurate detection via acoustic pulse reflectometry or transient-based methods, efficient and timely diagnosis of hydrate blockages can be achieved. The use of a hydrate model combined with fiber optics could prove to be an effective method for detecting blockages in newly laid pipelines in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11783,"journal":{"name":"Engineering","volume":"46 ","pages":"Pages 363-382"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143684171","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}
