From the perspective of investment decisionmaking, this paper analyzes the efficiency of capacity market mechanism in the power system with high proportion of renewable energy by studying supplier's investment behavior in capacity energy market with high integration of renewable energy. Firstly, a threelayer optimization model is established for the investment decision problem, including unit decisionmaking, capacity market and energy market model. Then since the model is difficult to solve directly, a phased loop iterative solution algorithm is proposed, being able to solve the problem with the capacity and energy market decoupled. Finally, based on the actual data of a certain provincial network, this paper uses the proposed method to compare the effects of energyonly market and capacityenergy market on capacity adequacy for the power system with a high proportion of renewable energy.
Aiming at the defects of gap light leakage and surface heat transfer in the use of a glass vacuum tube, in this paper, the glass tube embedded star multifins receiver is used as the concentrating photothermal conversion component of compound parabolic concentrating solar air device, and the air is selected as the heat transfer medium to alleviate the above defects and reduce the sealing requirements of the device and the low temperature burst tube´rate. The influence of the fin shape of the starshaped multifins receiver on the performance of the compound parabolic concentrating solar air device was comparative studied. The influence of different starshaped multifins receiver on the optical performance of the device was simulated and calculated. Based on this, the thermal properties of the device with embedded star sixfins receiver and the star fivefins receiver were tested and analyzed under actual weather conditions. The results show that when a<7.4°, the optical performance of the solar air collector device with star sixfins receiver is better than that of the star fivefins receiver. The average light receiving rate and concentrating efficiency of the former are 98.2% and 76.4% respectively, which are 1.2% and 1.1% higher than those of the latter. In the sunny day, when the air flow rate is 4.0 m/s, the average outlet temperature, maximum instantaneous heat collection and photothermal conversion efficiency of the solar air collector embedded with the star sixfins receiver are 37.0 °C, 896.45 W and 75.31%, respectively, which are 1.37%, 2.80% and 1.93% higher than that of the embedded star fivefins receiver. The testing results can provide a reference for the structural optimization design of the receiver of the compound parabolic concentrating solar air device.
To address the issue of optimization in the consumption of renewable energy in a distributed and flexible resource setting, a model based on opportunityconstrained crossregional grid renewable energy integration is proposed. This paper discusses the fundamental architecture of the twostage optimization model and analyzes the solving strategies for each stage. The twostage optimization model is established, comprising an upperlevel optimization model with opportunity constraints and a lowerlevel economic dispatch model. The paper proposes the use of a balancing constraint solving algorithm and strong duality theory to solve the model. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated through simulation analysis, and the conclusion discusses the relationship between the proportion of renewable energy consumption and grid output, load levels, and carbon societal costs.
The key regulatory role of trace elements(TEs) in anaerobic digestion systems has been established, but their intrinsic effects and mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. This study investigates the biological effects of TEs on biogas fermentation by examining the dynamic distribution of TEs under different inoculum/substrate (I/S) conditions in an anaerobic digestion system. It aims to clarify the interaction between the chemical form of TEs and the key influencing factors and microbial communities in the anaerobic fermentation process. Results from the 10 batches of experimental anaerobic digestion of glucose showed an 80.7% enhancement in cumulative methane production with the addition of TEs at an I/S ratio of 1.5. Among the three TEs (Fe, Co and Ni) added, the different chemical forms of elemental Fe showed the strongest correlation with pH, alkalinity, volatile fatty acids and ammonia nitrogen content in anaerobic digestion. The pH value was notably correlated with the four chemical forms of Fe. When the anaerobic digestion system operates stably, the relative abundance of Methanosaeta was the highest (53.8%), while the relative abundance of Methanosarcina was the highest (34.0%) when the anaerobic digestion system operates abnormally.

In this article, the renewable energy quota target suitable for China is analyzed, with the goal of maximizing the interests of market participants, while considering factors such as power source characteristics, market features, and resource attributes. A a noncooperative game bilevel optimization model for renewable energy quota ratios is proposed. Power generators are positioned at the upper level of the model, engaging in noncooperative games with other power generators to determine optimal pricing based on marginal costs for profit maximization. Quotaobligated entities are located at the lower level, adjusting their electricity purchase plans to optimize the reported electricity quantities and prices from power generators, thereby minimizing total electricity procurement costs. The case study analysis demonstrates that the constructed model not only enhances the benefits of market participants but also promotes the consumption of renewable energy.
This research investigated the effects of adding zerovalent iron (ZVI), activated carbon (AC) and magnetite (Mt)on the performance and microbiological properties of twophase anaerobic digestion of food waste. The results indicated that the addition of ZVI in the acidogenic reactor with AC and Mt in the methanogenic reactor showed the best effect on the anaerobic digestion performance. In the acidogenic reactor, the addition of ZVI increased the total volatile fatty acid concentration by 46.4%~47.9% compared with the control group, which provided better initial condition for the methanogenic reactor and significantly shortened the retardation time.In the methanogenic reactor, the addition of AC and Mt improved the stability of system, and the cumulative methane production was increased by 28.1%~68.4% compared with the control group.
Bifacial photovoltaic modules are designed to generate electricity by absorbing both front and rear irradiance at the same time, which enhances the power generation compared to monofacial photovoltaic modules. In this paper, a twomode power control strategy is proposed based on bifacial photovoltaic modules. Firstly, the modified equivalent irradiation model is used to construct a parametric model of the electrical characteristics of bifacial photovoltaic modules; according to the power output characteristics of bifacial photovoltaic modules and then based on the judgement of irradiance, a twomode control strategy with the maximum power output and the power reserve control is proposed; finally, the model is used to experiment and simulate the 365 W crystalline silicon bifacial photovoltaic module. The experimental results show that the relative error between the predicted power and the measured power is less than 3.5%, and the relative error of the voltage at the maximum power point under the measured condition is 0.3%. The twomode power control strategy can achieve the realtime active power reserve without increasing the energy storage, in which the maximum active standby capacity at the transient equivalent irradiance of 1006 W/m² is 69 W, and at the transient equivalent irradiance of 1031 W/m² is 78 W.
In order to solve the micrositing problem of wind farms under complex terrain, an optimization strategy based on improved discrete state transfer algorithm (RCDSTA) is proposed. Firstly, in order to solve the influence of ground flatness on fan placement, the terrain ruggedness index (TRI) is introduced to quantify the ground flatness numerically, and the points with excessive ruggedness are constrained. Secondly, a wind turbine layout optimization method based on discrete state transition algorithm (DSTA) is proposed to calculate power generation by multiwind downward threedimensional wake superposition, and the DSTA algorithm is improved to reduce the calculation time of fitness value, so as to shorten the calculation time of complex calculation optimization problems and improve the calculation efficiency. Finally, taking a wind farm with complex terrain in Xinjiang, China as an example, the algorithm is compared with the microscopic site selection results of genetic algorithm (GA) and engineering design under the background of the same terrain conditions and objective function. The simulation results show that the discrete state transition algorithm is more effective than the above two methods in providing a reasonable fan layout scheme considering the characteristics of terrain factors.
In the article, biochar was prepared from corn stover, and its structure was characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and specific surface area tester, and the adsorption performance of biochar on phenol under different conditions was investigated. The results showed that the microstructural integrity of the biochar gradually decreased and the pore size gradually increased with the increase of carbonation temperature, and the surface contained a large number of polar functional groups, which had a good promotion effect on the adsorption of phenol in solution; the best adsorption performance was obtained for the biochar prepared at a carbonation temperature of 600 °C, with water vapour as the ambient gas and corn stover with a particle size of 40 mesh; the best adsorption performance was achieved when the dosage of CSBCW600 was 0.5 g, the reaction temperature was 35 °C, the oscillation frequency was 150 r/min, the adsorption time was 4 h, the initial concentration of phenol was 100 mg/L, and the reaction volume was 50 mL, 99.5% of phenol was removed.
In this paper, Miscanthus lutarioriparius (ML) cellulose was used as the raw material to produce bioethanol by a fedbatch synchronous saccharification and fermentation process. The effects of initial substrate concentration, final substrate concentration, and feeding times on ethanol yield were analyzed. The orthogonal experiments were used to optimize the process, and the optimal process parameters were obtained as follows: Initial substrate concentration was 17.5%, and the batch feeding was conducted twice until the final substrate concentration was 32.5%. Under these conditions, the highest ethanol content could reach to 70.15 g/L, which increased by 23.36% compared to the synchronous saccharification and fermentation process without fedbatch. The material balance analysis was conducted on the basis of the optimal process. The structure of ML cellulose before and after fermentation was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Xray diffraction. The results showed that the enzymatic saccharification and fermentation process would change the internal structure of ML cellulose, break the hydrogen bond or covalent bond, and increase the crystallinity of the substrate.
