Multi-criteria PSO-based optimal design of grid-connected hybrid renewable energy systems

ABSTRACT

Human-induced climate change through the over liberation of greenhouse gases, resulting in devastating consequences to the environment, is a concern of considerable global significance which has fuelled the diversification to alternative renewable energy sources. The unpredictable nature of renewable resources is an impediment to developing renewable projects. More reliable, effective, and economically feasible renewable energy systems can be established by consolidating various renewable energy sources such as wind and solar into a hybrid system using batteries or back-up units like conventional energy generators or grids. The precise design of these systems is a critical step toward their effective deployment. An optimal sizing strategy was developed based on a heuristic particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to determine the optimum number and configuration of PV panels, wind turbines, and battery units by minimizing the total system life-cycle cost while maximizing the reliability of the hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) in matching the electricity supply and demand. In addition, by constraining the amount of conventional electricity purchased from the grid, environmental concerns were also considered in the presented method. Various systems with different reliabilities and potential of reducing consumer’s CO₂ emissions were designed and the behavior of the proposed method was comprehensively investigated. An HRES may reduce the annualized cost of energy and carbon footprint significantly.     

太湖竺山湾藻华黑水团区沉积物中Fe、S、P的含量及其形态变化

对因藻华大量聚集死亡而造成水体呈强还原环境(DO=0.14 mg.L-1,Eh=-89.3 mV)的黑水团区中Fe-S-P的生物地球化学变化特征进行研究.结果表明,藻细胞残体的沉降使得黑水区沉积物表层有机质含量显著增加;因藻细胞残体的贡献,沉积物表层中Org-P含量急剧增加(比非黑水区多72 mg.kg-1);受较低Eh的影响,沉积物中与Fe结合的磷出现解析,使得黑水区沉积物中活性铁和PO43--P含量增加,黑水区中沉积物间隙水PO43--P要远高于非黑水团区,表明其有向上覆水释放的趋势;造成沉积物中Fe-P含量比非黑水区中的要低.在强还原条件下沉积物中铁的氧化物呈现出由结晶态向无定形态转化的趋势(Dithio-Fe比非黑水区高达30μmol.g-1),从而使得可供生物利用的活性铁含量增加,这为藻华再次发生提供了有利条件.黑水区表层沉积物中酸可挥发性硫化物(AVS)在初始阶段大量增加,但后期由于形成了H2S气体逸散到水体中其含量反而减少;表层沉积物硫化物含量也呈增加现象(比非黑水区表层沉积物中要高50μmol.g-1).

硅对锰胁迫下水稻吸收矿质元素的影响

揭示Mn胁迫下硅对水稻中营养元素的影响特点,可为减轻水稻锰毒害提供理论依据.因此,本文通过水培试验,利用两个对Mn耐性不同的水稻品种,研究施Si(1.5 mmol·L-1)对Mn(2 mmol·L-1)胁迫下水稻营养元素的影响.同时,采用同步辐射X射线荧光(SRXRF)分析了营养元素的分布特点,以及各元素分布之间的相互关系.结果显示,高锰胁迫下,耐性品种叶片和根系的Mn含量都显著高于敏感品种.高锰胁迫抑制了敏感品种K元素从根部向叶片的转移,而降低了耐性品种的根部吸收K元素的能力.高锰胁迫下,施硅处理增加了敏感品种叶片中K、Fe和Zn的相对含量;可显著增加耐性品种叶片中K和Zn的相对含量,显著降低其Ca和Fe的相对含量.高锰胁迫下施硅可以促进敏感品种K元素的转运,促进耐性品种Zn元素转运.Si对耐性品种各元素含量保持相对平衡具有重要作用.水稻体内的锰大部分是硫酸锰,高锰胁迫下施硅不改变水稻植株体内的锰形态.     

Physical,Mechanical, and Morphological Characteristics of Extruded Starch Acetate Foams

Starch acetates with degrees of substitution (DS) of 0.57, 1.11, 1.68, and 2.23 were prepared and extruded with either water or ethanol. The microstructure, physical properties (radial expansion ratio [RER] and unit density), mechanical properties (spring index [SI] and compressibility), and crystalline structure of the foams were investigated. The functional properties were a function of DS and blowing agent type. When water was used as the blowing agent and DS increased, the foams were pale yellow, with rough and uneven surfaces. The cells were dense, with thick cell walls. Lower RER and SI, with higher DS, were associated with high unit density and compressibility. When ethanol was used as the blowing agent, contrary results were observed. The snow-white foams had smooth surfaces, uniform cells, and smooth cell walls. High RER and SI, and low unit density and compressibility were observed. The changes in SI and compressibility with RER also were examined and found to depend on the type of solvent. A crystalline pattern was observed because of the formation of well-ordered structures during extrusion.     

不同水分管理模式联合叶面喷施硅肥对水稻Cd累积的影响

在某重度Cd污染稻田(Cd含量2.83 mg·kg~(-1))开展8种水分管理措施联合叶面喷施硅肥的大田试验,研究不同处理对水稻生长及各部位Cd累积的影响.结果表明:①8种水分管理措施联合叶面喷施硅肥处理对水稻株高和分蘖数没有明显影响,但各处理均增加了水稻糙米生物量,增幅为1.7%～25.0%,其中成熟期淹水+叶面喷施硅肥处理(CY)下糙米生物量达到最高.②常规水分管理+叶面喷施硅肥处理(Si)对土壤Cd两种提取态含量无明显影响,而其他处理降低土壤交换态Cd含量7.8%～42.6%,降低土壤TCLP提取态Cd含量20.0%～40.8%.③常规水分管理+叶面喷施硅肥处理(Si)能降低水稻各部位Cd含量,糙米Cd含量下降了19.0%;其他处理显著降低了水稻各部位中Cd含量,其中仅成熟期湿润+叶面喷施硅肥处理(CS)降低糙米Cd含量降幅最大,降低了44.0%,其次为间歇淹水湿润+叶面喷施硅肥处理(JX)和仅灌浆期湿润+叶面喷施硅肥处理(GS),分别降低36.4%和31.8%.④在中重度Cd污染稻田建议采用仅成熟期湿润+叶面喷施硅肥处理(CS)和间歇淹水湿润+叶面喷施硅肥处理(JX),在不影响水稻产量的同时又显著降低糙米Cd含量.     

嘉陵江梯级水库水化学特征及氮硅的时空分布研究

随着水电开发的迅速兴起,河流筑坝拦截引起的生态环境效应已不容忽视。为探究筑坝拦截对流域内营养元素生物地球化学循环过程的影响,本研究于2016年1月和7月对嘉陵江中下游4座梯级水库的入库、库内及出库水体进行采样,分析了营养盐(TDN、NO_2~-、NO_3~-、NH_4~+、DSi)及水化学组成;研究在大坝拦截作用下,嘉陵江流域水库水体营养盐及主要阴、阳离子浓度的时空变化特征。结果发现,沿程Na~+、K~+浓度上升的变化趋势表明从上游到下游人为因素的影响在不断加强。受降水稀释影响,TDN和DSi浓度枯水期(冬季)高于丰水期(夏季);剖面水体氮和硅的浓度呈现出表层低、深层高的特征,夏季尤为显著;NO_3~-浓度与NH_4~+和NO_2~-浓度存在负相关关系。上述结果表明氮的转化在表层水体以藻类的吸收同化为主,浅层水体以硝化反应为主,深层水体以反硝化反应为主。
