An experimental study of a floating breakwater with asymmetric pneumatic chambers for wave energy extraction

He, Fang; Huang, Zhenhua; Law, Adrian Wing-Keung - In: Applied Energy 106 (2013) C, pp. 222-231

Integrating oscillating-water-column type converters (pneumatic chambers) with slack-moored floating breakwaters can be a viable option for cost-sharing between wave energy capturing devices and shore-protection structures, and thus enhance the cost-effectiveness of wave energy utilization. When...

Planning regional energy system in association with greenhouse gas mitigation under uncertainty

Li, Y.P.; Huang, G.H.; Chen, X. - In: Applied Energy 88 (2011) 3, pp. 599-611

Greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations are expected to continue to rise due to the ever-increasing use of fossil fuels and ever-boosting demand for energy. This leads to inevitable conflict between satisfying increasing energy demand and reducing GHG emissions. In this study, an integrated...

A two-stage inexact-stochastic programming model for planning carbon dioxide emission trading under uncertainty

Chen, W.T.; Li, Y.P.; Huang, G.H.; Chen, X.; Li, Y.F. - In: Applied Energy 87 (2010) 3, pp. 1033-1047

In this study, a two-stage inexact-stochastic programming (TISP) method is developed for planning carbon dioxide (CO2) emission trading under uncertainty. The developed TISP incorporates techniques of interval-parameter programming (IPP) and two-stage stochastic programming (TSP) within a...

Energy and environmental systems planning under uncertainty--An inexact fuzzy-stochastic programming approach

Li, Y.F.; Li, Y.P.; Huang, G.H.; Chen, X. - In: Applied Energy 87 (2010) 10, pp. 3189-3211

In this study, an inexact fuzzy-stochastic energy model (IFS-EM) is developed for planning energy and environmental systems (EES) management under multiple uncertainties. In the IFS-EM, methods of interval parameter fuzzy linear programming (IFLP) and multistage stochastic programming with...

Heat transfer characteristics of a molten-salt thermal energy storage unit with and without heat transfer enhancement

Zhang, P.; Xiao, X.; Meng, Z.N.; Li, M. - In: Applied Energy 137 (2015) C, pp. 758-772

Eutectic molten salt can be used as the latent thermal energy storage (LTES) medium in solar energy applications. In the present study, eutectic salt (50wt% NaNO3, 50wt% KNO3) with a melting temperature of about 220°C was employed as the PCM for the middle-temperature solar energy application,...

Quantitative analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in solid residues from supercritical water gasification of wet sewage sludge

Xu, Z.R.; Zhu, W.; Li, M.; Zhang, H.W.; Gong, M. - In: Applied Energy 102 (2013) C, pp. 476-483

Hydrogen gas has been successfully produced from sewage sludge by supercritical water gasification. Therefore, whether toxic compounds are synthesized in the supercritical water gasification of sewage sludge should be clarified because of the complex pollutants in sludge. In the current study,...

Preparation and thermal characterization of paraffin/metal foam composite phase change material

Xiao, X.; Zhang, P.; Li, M. - In: Applied Energy 112 (2013) C, pp. 1357-1366

The utilization of paraffin in the latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system for solar energy storage is hampered by its low thermal conductivity. Paraffin/nickel foam and paraffin/copper foam composite phase change materials (PCMs) were prepared using a vacuum impregnation method in the...
