On the one hand, high maintenance expenses are a direct result of offshore-specific challenges such as complex ocean meteorology, varying vessel accessibility, and shifting transportation requirements. Besides, component degradation and weather conditions largely limit the ability of turbine operators to estimate a workable maintenance time window. This study aims to develop a holistic opportunistic maintenance strategy to address the practical challenges of offshore wind farms. The proposed strategy starts by deriving the preventive maintenance interval of each turbine component based on its degradation trend and predictable cost rates. Then, each turbine is maintained in groups based on the maintenance opportunities arising from preventive maintenance, unexpected failures, and cable damage. Following that, given weather condition forecasts of key parameters (wind speed and wave height), the proposed strategy optimizes the daily allocations and vessel routes to maintain turbines in a timely and cost-effective manner. Finally, experimental results based on real-world data from an actual offshore wind farm demonstrate that the proposed strategy outperforms several universal maintenance strategies in key metrics. Compared to the simple, widely employed, and easy-to-implement strategies, it can help reduce the total cost by 85.9 %, 65.9 %, and 41.6 %, respectively. This work helps turbine operators implement comprehensive and cost-effective maintenance schemes, which can lead to tariff duction and wind farm promotion benefits in the long term.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424988","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}

However, its utilization for resource recovery raises valid biosafety concerns. Despite extensive research on the capacity of AD for pathogen reduction, the variability in results poses challenges for drawing definitive conclusions. To address this lack of unification, results from 121 scientific articles were compiled, and a comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted. Findings indicate that artificial pathogen spiking leads to performance overestimation. Current most common indicators represent accurately their respective microbial groups. <em>Clostridiaceae</em> are barely affected by AD and may be favored by some pre-treatment technologies. The impact of operational parameters and the coupling of pre- and post-treatments with AD on pathogen reduction was also investigated. While an optimal batch duration was identified, the hydraulic retention time in (semi)continuous systems did not affect the overall pathogen reduction. Heat-based post-treatments coupled with thermophilic AD resulted in the highest pathogen reductions, fulfilling legislations. Unprecedented statistical analyses allowed categorizing quantitatively key parameters. Results confirmed that temperature is the most relevant parameter. Thermophilic conditions resulted in the highest pathogen reductions, while psychrophilic and mesophilic temperatures showed similar performances. The impact of pH on pathogen removal was confirmed, with acidic and basic values enhancing pathogen reductions. More research considering all AD products within a multicriteria optimization approach (e.g., pathogen reduction, biogas production, and digestate quality) is needed to determine optimal conditions considering all aspects. This study provides novel and relevant conclusions for AD at research and industrial scale, drawing several R&amp;D perspectives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424969","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}

To address this geographic bias, this paper conducts a rigorous review of Japanese debates on CEG, shedding new light on how the first-hand experience of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011 has led to new dialogues, based on its domestic interdisciplinary traditions to tackle environmental pollution in Japan. The analysis shows that the challenges addressed by CEG can vary across geographical contexts. CEG in Japan has, first and foremost, been understood as an alternative to the “exogenous” or “colonial” regional development underlying the Japanese energy system. Here, community has been approached as a starting point to address the geographical economic disparity that exists in the existing energy system, by attaining “endogenous development” and “energy autonomy”. The analysis, therefore, provides an alternative perspective for the critical scrutiny of dominant approaches towards CEG in “Western” tradition, while pointing to the need for further in-depth inquiry into the articulation of CEG in Japan and beyond.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424970","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}

Results show five concepts of energy regions: city-regions, peripheralized regions, coal and carbon-intensive regions, learning regions, and renewable energy regions. The formed typology shows the possible transition pathways that regions can follow.

The guest replacement method is a prominent carbon-neutral technological advancement that involves injecting CO₂ into natural gas hydrate layers to accomplish the dual objectives of energy production and carbon storage. In this study, the guest dynamics in the CH₄ – flue gas replacement process were examined, and the impacts of the N₂ concentration of the injected gas were systematically analyzed. A powder X-ray diffraction analysis of the cage-specific guest distributions after CH₄ − CO₂ (20 %) + N₂ (80 %) replacement revealed that CH₄ production increased in both the large and small cages compared to the CH₄ – CO₂ replacement. This enhancement was attributed to the N₂ molecules participating in both cages. However, this simultaneously led to a decrease in CO₂ storage potential, indicating a ‘complementary’ relationship for CH₄ production and a ‘competitive’ one for CO₂ storage with respect to CO₂ and N₂. In situ Raman spectroscopy revealed that the introduction of N₂ resulted in a deceleration of CO₂ storage kinetics. Guest composition measurements after replacement showed an upward trend in CH₄ production and a simultaneous decline in CO₂ storage as the N₂ composition increased. Notably, an intriguing correlation was established between the CO₂/N₂ ratios for the injected gas and the replaced hydrates, exhibiting a strong alignment with a simple first-order equation.

A comprehensive review of the existing literature reveals that lubricants impair overall heat transfer performance within heat exchangers while simultaneously increasing the overall frictional pressure drop. Additionally, the presence of oil disrupts the refrigerant flashing process within the capillary tube and reduces both the cooling capacity and the coefficient of performance of the system. This leads to increased compressor power consumption to achieve the same cooling capacity. Consequently, despite the potential of oil to decrease discharge temperature and mitigate seal leakage losses, it negatively impacts overall system performance. To counter these adverse effects, this study presents three strategies, derived from an extensive review: the use of oil-free compressors, the incorporation of nanoscale additives, and the application of oil separators. The review suggests that nanoscale additives, provided they are uniformly dispersed throughout the refrigerant and oil over a prolonged period, hold promise in enhancing heat transfer performance and mitigating the degradation caused by oil. Oil-free compressors also show considerable potential, though challenges associated with increased noise and reduced lifespan due to the absence of oil remain. The use of oil separators in HRFs is a relatively under-investigated topic, with fewer studies compared to the other two strategies, indicating the need for further research. This underscores the importance of continued study in this field to optimize the performance and efficiency of HRFs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424995","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}
