the emergence of high penetration of sustainable energy in the power system has increased the demand for faster-ramping units participating in the frequency regulation service. To fulfill the automatic generation control (AGC) and compensate the influence of sustainable energy fluctuations simultaneously,...

Compared to onshore wind power, offshore wind power has a relatively short history. The offshore wind potential in China is about 3 times larger than onshore, yet China had not dedicated into offshore wind research and development until recent years. China has the incentive to construct offshore wind...

Wind speed forecasting has significant influence on wind energy development. In the paper, a least square support vector machine with a novel optimization algorithm was used to improve the performances of wind speed forecasting model. Coupled simulated annealing (CSA) and simplex algorithm were combined...

Thermoelectric effect or Seebeck effect provides a means by which thermal energy can be converted into electricity directly. Voltage appears between two different types of materials (Conductor or Semiconductor) that are joined together and its junction is heated. While most efficient materials are semiconductors,...

This article, based on linearized equation of movement, considers an aerodynamical stability of bundled phase of overhead lines, covered with ice in wind flow. The Hurwitz criterion is used for determining critical speed of wind flow, when appears loss of stability of bundled phase. It is analyzed relationship...

Integration of solar PV and wind in to the distribution network is one of the most promising challenges of the modern power system networks to meet the growing demand of energy. Analysis of the effects of solar and wind intermittencies in the network are vital to maintain the power quality. Keeping this...

Faced with the drawback of conventional doubly-fed wind farm models, which cannot reliably reflect the actual control law and dynamic characteristics, a method of complex characteristics modeling based on simulation is developed in this paper. The software MATLAB/Simulink platform is utilized to create...

With the development of marine economy in China in recent years, The industrial zone of Dalian Changxing island has been upgraded to a national economic and technological development zone in 2010, not only take on a new mission and task, but also the tidal field characteristics study of Changxing island...

The renewable energy generators have the feature that varies as weather changes. The fluctuation of the power output will break the balance of supply and demand among the electric power grid, bringing risk to the whole power system. In March 20, 2015, total solar eclipse caused a sudden drop and then...

By dynamic simulating bench for coal transit spot in fossil power plants, dust emission was studied and characterized with different levels of belt velocity in this article. There is a very strong negative correlation between upper concentration and lower concentration of coal dust with different belt...

In order to increase the efficiency in municipal solid waste management (MSWM), waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies are provided as a solution towards the successful policy in Thailand. WtE is perceived as a means to dispose MSW, produce energy, recover materials, and free up scarce land that would otherwise...

Based on the construction of intelligent electrical pilot in the state grid corporation of China, fully grasp the requirements of intelligent power demand management, intelligent network based on the research of smart grid-oriented Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), we design and realize the family...

Two 240 t/h circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers are choosed as the research object, through test CFB boiler parts surface temperature, surface conditions and the parts surface area, according to the standard ASME boiler body heat loss. The results showed that special separator inlet section of CFB...

In this article, preliminary investigation on the use of hydroxy sodalite (HS) as a solid catalyst for the transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) to biodiesel is presented. Hydroxy sodalite was synthesized in our laboratory via the conventional hydrothermal synthesis technique and the crystals...

This paper applies the Latent Class (LC) approach to investigate households’ preferences on air quality and study environmental externalities in China’s coal-based power sector. We conduct a choice experiment where people are asked to choose among three hypothetical air quality improvement options and...

LPG pressure regulator is a device which is used to change the phase of LPG from liquid to gas by decreasing the pressure. During the phase change, it is necessary to supply the latent heat of LPG to prevent excessive low temperature. Engine coolant is circulated in the pressure regulator for this purpose....
