This study proposes the water hammer energy difference (WHED) method based on unsteady flow energy and continuity equations, as well as the propagation laws of water hammer in closed pipes, and verifies its accuracy. Additionally, the parameter evolu...

Over the past few years, the combination of solar power with refrigeration technology has matured, providing a promising solution for sustainable cooling. However, a key challenge remains, namely the inherent intermittency of solar energy. Due to its...

The global adoption of battery electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) as a substitute for internal combustion engine cars (ICEs) in various nations offers a substantial opportunity to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from la...

In this study, the CO2 reduction benefits of wind energy in the transition towards a carbon-neutral energy system are explored. The marginal benefits of wind energy in replacing CO2 emissions in electricity generation are gradually declining as carbo...

With the increasing prevalence of renewable energy, microgrids play a crucial role in enhancing distributed energy efficiency and system flexibility. However, the intermittent and unpredictable nature of renewable energy generation presents significa...

The increase in the exploration of renewable energy sources intensifies the need for efficient storage solutions to mitigate the inherent intermittence of these sources. Among the available technologies, cryogenic energy storage (CES) systems stand o...

The charging demand of electric passenger cars needs to be considered during the planning and operation of the electric power grid, especially at high penetration rates. It is not sufficient to simply quantify these additional loads, but rather time-...

Schools, key symbols of progress and innovation, require particular attention regarding energy efficiency, which is considered a strategic priority in sustainable development policies. Improving energy efficiency in schools reduces costs and environm...

The integration of new renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, is characterized by strong randomness and volatility, which increases the risk of power grid system frequency fluctuations exceeding limits. Traditional thermal power unit...

This study introduces a novel, low-cost, non-contact measurement system for heat flux estimation based on an enhanced thermometric method. The customized system was designed and assembled to implement a non-contact, indirect approach for heat flux as...
