However, the range of EVs is limited by the battery energy storage, which makes the energy demand of the heating system affect the energy use efficiency of the drive battery. In order to measure the thermal economy of the air conditioning (AC) system in terms of heating, the index of coefficient of performance (COP) is often used. Accurate COP prediction can help optimize the performance of heat HPAC systems for EVs to avoid energy wastage and thus improve the range of the vehicle. In this study, we use a backpropagation (BP) neural network combined with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to predict and optimize the COP of the CO2 HPAC system for EVs. First, a COP prediction model of the CO2 HPAC system for EVs was established, which can consider a variety of influencing factors, and the key parameters affecting the COP of the AC system were obtained through experiments. Second, a BP neural network is used to predict the COP of the CO2 HPAC system, and in order to overcome the shortcomings of the BP neural network, which is slow and prone to fall into the minimum value, the particle swarm algorithm PSO is introduced to optimize the weights and biases of the BP neural network, so as to improve the accuracy and stability of the prediction. Through this study, we combine the BP neural network with the PSO algorithm to achieve accurate prediction and optimization of the COP of the HPAC system of an EV, which provides a strong support for the improvement of energy use efficiency. Second, we considered a variety of influencing factors, such as outdoor temperature, compressor speed, and EV status, which made the prediction model more accurate and applicable. Finally, the method proposed in this study is validated on a real dataset, and the optimization of the BP neural network using the particle swarm algorithm PSO can improve the accuracy of COP prediction for HPAC systems by 65.8%.","PeriodicalId":16953,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139292735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the impacts of atmospheric icing on the full performance and behavior of a controlled large-scale wind turbine are thoroughly investigated. Using the Mustafa Sahin bladed wind turbine simulation model, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory 5 MW turbine is simulated with and without iced blades. The turbine blades are considered fully covered by light icing at the leading edge, which causes a reduction of up to 9.27% in Cl and an increase of up to 48% in Cd data of blade airfoils. Turbine static performance and behavior are examined at different uniform winds between cut-in and cut-out wind speeds, while the dynamic performance and behavior are estimated under turbulent winds at below (region II) and above (region III) rated regions. Simulation results are presented in terms of various turbine parameters, such as rotor power, thrust, their coefficients, blade pitch angle, rotor speed, etc. Results show that such light icing alters the turbine's aerodynamic characteristics and dynamics, increasing the turbine's cut-in and rated wind speeds, and reducing the thrust and maximum power coefficients by 5.5% and 13.35%, respectively. Under the same uniform winds, due to icing, turbine static performance and behavior are drastically disrupted in below rated region, resulting in reduced rotor speed, turbine efficiency, thrust, and power output by up to 4.77%, 39.7%, 7.63%, and 40%, respectively. In region III, however, thrust increases by up to 15% although the power output, rotor speed, and turbine efficiency do not change considerably. When the dynamic responses are examined under turbulent wind with a mean of 7.9 m/s in region II, mean power and fluctuations reduce by 14.17% and 10.88%, respectively. The mean thrust decreases by 6.86%, while its fluctuations reduce by 11.33%. The mean rotor speed reduces by 3.83%, and its fluctuations decrease by 12.84%. Under turbulent wind with a mean of 15.7 m/s in region III, the mean power and fluctuations decrease by 0.053% and 1.95%, respectively. The mean thrust increases by 11.99% and its fluctuations drop by 0.84%. The mean rotor speed does not change much, but its fluctuations increase by 0.132%. The mean blade pitch angle reduces by 9.39%, while its fluctuations increase by 7.39%.","PeriodicalId":16953,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139298303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, inaccurate daily data and improper storage capacity configuration impact CAES development. This study uses the Parzen window estimation method to extract features from historical data, obtaining distributions of typical weekly wind power, solar power, and load. These distributions are compared to Weibull and Beta distributions. The wind–solar energy storage system's capacity configuration is optimized using a genetic algorithm to maximize profit. Different methods are compared in island/grid-connected modes using evaluation metrics to verify the accuracy of the Parzen window estimation method. The results show that it surpasses parameter estimation for real-time series-based configuration. Under grid-connected mode, rated power configurations are 1107 MW for wind, 346 MW for solar, and 290 MW for CAES. The CAES system has a rated capacity of 2320 MW·h, meeting average hourly power demand of 699.26 MW. It saves $6.55 million per week in electricity costs, with a maximum weekly profit of $0.61 million.

To address this challenge and simultaneously reduce environmental pollution, a hybrid energy storage system containing hydrogen energy storage (HES) and compressed air energy storage (CAES) are proposed. The system aims to reconfigure the energy storage devices by an economical means and effectively alleviate the volatility challenges by the large amount of renewable energy accessing. First, according to the behavioral characteristics of wind, photovoltaics, and the energy storage, the hybrid energy storage capacity optimization allocation model is established, and its economy is nearly 17% and 4.7% better than that of single HES and single CAES, respectively. Then, considering the difficulty of solving the complexity dimension, a carnivorous plant algorithm (CPA) is adopted to solve the model and accurately obtain the strategy of hybrid energy storage configuration in this paper. The running time of a CPA algorithm is 33.6%, 36%, and 55% shorter than particle swarm optimization, whale optimization algorithm, and firefly algorithm, respectively. Finally, the simulation analysis is performed by IEEE 33 node arithmetic. The results show that the network loss with hybrid energy storage is reduced by about 40% compared with that without hybrid energy storage. However, improving voltage stability and the economy is optimal by using configured hybrid energy storage.","PeriodicalId":16953,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135609814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the research is to propose the 10 megawatts (MW) SPIC concept (Semi-submersible platform with Partially Inclined Columns, SPIC for short) FWT in intermediate water depth, providing guidance for the concept design of large-scale FWT. The SPIC concept FWT incorporates partially tilted outward side columns, which effectively minimize the risk of bottom contact and significantly enhance the stability of the floating wind turbine. This is achieved by increasing the inertia moment of the waterplane without increasing the displaced water or water surface area. The 10 MW SPIC concept FWT exhibits superior performance in terms of smaller static heeling angle, motion amplitude response function, and wave force transfer function. It also features lower steel consumption and less displaced water, achieving good stability, hydrodynamic performance, and low cost. The rationality of the concept design and the accuracy of the numerical simulation process were validated in this study using experimental results. The study assessed the extreme responses of the 10 MW SPIC concept FWT in its six degrees of freedom (DOFs) under various scenarios, including power production, power production with faults, parked condition, and parked condition with faults, thus verifying the safety of the SPIC concept.","PeriodicalId":16953,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135610323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flow dynamics of molten salt within the heat exchanger are analyzed. To quantify the volume fraction of the molten salt flow dead zones, the residence time distribution curve is employed. Four baffle salt flow configurations are comparatively assessed. Findings indicate that the four opening configurations effectively enhance the reduction of molten salt flow dead zones, with volume fraction reductions ranging from 57.8% to 68.21%. Notably, configuration 4 yields the most optimal results. Furthermore, molten salt flow states in varying regions were examined: the innermost flow dead zone exhibited the highest improvement, followed by the middle area, with the edge area showing the least enhancement. Additionally, the impact of the opening diameter on the flow dead zone was explored. The volume fraction of the molten salt flow dead zone diminishes as the opening diameter expands, with the rate of this change also decelerating. Given that molten salt at the opening manifests as a jet, enlarging the opening diameter lessens the pressure differential across the baffle, subsequently weakening the jet's intensity and its influence on the flow dead zone.","PeriodicalId":16953,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135566492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of the finite battery power and computational capacity of UAVs, a dynamic queue-aware UAV-assisted edge computing inspection wind farm framework is investigated with the goal of minimizing the long-term energy consumption of UAVs. The Lyapunov optimization theory is utilized to decouple the long-term stochastic optimization problem into four short-term deterministic subproblems, including the task splitting, the UAV-side computing resource allocation, the task offloading, and the edge server-side computing resource allocation. Furthermore, a Lyapunov optimization-based dynamic queue-aware computation offloading algorithm (LODQCO) is presented to optimize task offloading and resource allocation jointly. The optimal UAV-side computing resource is determined by a closed form formula, and then the optimal task offloading decision is tackled by applying the classical interior point method. Finally, the edge server-side computing resource is addressed via a linear optimization CPLEX solver. Based on simulation results, LODQCO is superior to the benchmark algorithms with respect to the energy consumption, queue backlogs, and queuing delays.","PeriodicalId":16953,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135456293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper uses the multi-regional input–output model to construct the interprovincial embodied energy flow network in China and defines the energy flow between provinces under the trade of products and services. Then, it uses the ecological network model to carry out the ascendency and network environ analysis of the interprovincial embodied energy flow network in China and uses the Quadratic Assignment Procedure regression model to calculate the impact of various factors on the flow network. The main research conclusions are as follows: (1) The embodied energy flow in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is relatively high. The embodied energy flow value in Ningxia and Qinghai is low. Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Jiangsu often have the highest embodied energy outflow value, while Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and other provinces have higher inflows. (2) The center of gravity of through flow in the flow system is biased to Jiangsu, Guangdong, and other places; Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and Hainan are at the edge of the system.

These geographical potential maps are developed by taking into account 13 evaluation and restriction factors pertaining to technical, economic, and socio-environmental categories. The investigation identifies that Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Gujarat have a plurality of extremely favorable land areas for solar and wind energy sources. Furthermore, the results imply that appropriate planning for the installation of renewable projects at the identified optimum locations can fulfill India's commitments with regard to an optimal energy mix scenario, with energy available twice the available potential for consumption in 2030. Furthermore, with the least average levelized cost of energy of 38.8 $/MWh (2.83₹/kWh) and 42.3 $/MWh (3.09₹/kWh), solar and wind energy sources are potentially more appealing and affordable than conventional energy sources.
