Abstract Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are widely regarded as having the potential to replace internal combustion engines in vehicles. Since fuel cells cannot recover energy and have a slow dynamic response, they need to be used with different power sources. Developing efficient energy management strategies to achieve excellent fuel economy is the goal of research. This paper proposes an adaptive equivalent fuel minimum consumption strategy (AECMS) to solve the problem of the poor economy of the whole vehicle caused by the wrong selection of equivalent factors (EF) in traditional ECMS. In this method, the kinematics interval is used to update… More >

Abstract In this study, a model of combined cooling, heating and power system with municipal solid waste (MSW) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) as energy sources was proposed and developed based on the energy demand of a large community, and MSW was classified and utilized. The system operated by determining power by heating load, and measures were taken to reduce operating costs by purchasing and selling LNG, natural gas (NG), cooling, heating, and power. Based on this system model, three operation strategies were proposed based on whether MSW was classified and the length of kitchen waste fermentation time, and each strategy… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Nowadays, AC electronic loads with energy recovery are widely used in the testing of uninterruptible power supplies and power supply equipment. To tackle the problems of control difficulty, strategy complexity, and poor dynamic performance of AC electronic load with energy recovery of the conventional control strategy, a control strategy of AC electronic load with energy recovery based on Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) is developed. To further reduce the computation burden of the FCS-MPC, a simplified FCS-MPC with transforming the predicted variables and using sector to select expected state is proposed. Through simplified model and equivalent approximation analysis,… More >

Abstract A new integrated oil production enhancement technology based on water-flooding energy recovery is proposed. After providing an extensive review of the existing scientific and technical literature on this subject, the proposed integrated technology is described together with the related process flow diagram, the criteria used to select a target facility for its implementation and the outcomes of the laboratory studies conducted to analyze emulsion formation and separation kinetics. Moreover, the outcomes of numerical simulations performed using Ansys CFX software are also presented. According to these results, using the proposed approach the incremental oil production may reach 1.2 t/day (with a 13%… More >

Abstract In order to study the braking energy regeneration characteristics of the Frontmounted Parallel Hydraulic Hybrid Crane (FPHHC), the AMESim simulation models are established and analyzed by establishing the vehicle dynamics model and referencing to the actual data of the crane and physical hydraulic components, the simulation results are verified by road tests on the experimental prototype. The experiment results basically match with the simulation results. In the vehicle braking process, the hydraulic hybrid system of the experimental prototype can effectively recycle the vehicle braking energy, the energy recovery rate is up to 50.84%, and the energy-saving effect is obvious.
