Biomass is a rich and renewable carbon source. The efficient production of fuel ethanol with sugar, starch, straw cellulose or other biomass feedstocks can reduce the demand for fossil energy, among which the second generation fuel ethanol with lignocellulose as feedstock has broad prospects for development. Compared with fossil energy, fuel ethanol has the advantages of environmental protection, economy and renewable energy, but its production technology, economic benefits and environmental impact still need to be further studied. In recent years, through the optimization of fuel ethanol refining system and the study of the whole life cycle analysis, the progress of fuel ethanol technology has been effectively promoted, and the related research on carbon emission reduction of fuel ethanol has been promoted. This paper mainly discussed the development of fuel ethanol production technology in recent years, focused on the research progress of simulation optimization and carbon emission reduction of fuel ethanol system, and looked forward to the development trend of fuel ethanol, in order to provide reference for the sustainable development of fuel ethanol.

In view of the insufficient research on the influence of wind shear on wake at present, two lidars were used to carry out wind field experiments in a wind farm, analyzed the phenomenon of wind shear under different wind speeds and the characteristics of wake change under different incoming flow conditions, and used a threedimensional wake model to verify the vertical wake profiles. The results show that the wind speed has an obvious effect on wind shear, and the wind shear effect increases with the increase of wind speed, and the wind shear index increases about 0.05 for every 1 m/s increase of the wind speed. The wind shear effect has a great influence on the distribution characteristics of the wake. The stronger the wind shear effect is, the greater the gradient of the wake velocity along the height direction, and the greater the width and length of the wake. The predicted curve of the model near the hub center line of the wind turbine and the measured wake data fit well, and the relative errors are basically within 10%, while the relative errors of the prediction near the ground side are large due to the influence of the terrain.

With the increasing penetration of distributed energy in the power system and its output uncertainty, the distribution system presents greater complexity and uncertainty, which will have an impact on the reliability of the power network. In order to determine the optimal installation location and capacity size of renewable units in the distribution network system, this paper proposes a reliability assessment framework by combining the stochastic fuzzy expected value operator and Markov Monte Carlo method. The model first establishes the multi state probability density functions of wind and PV outputs, and subsequently employs the stochastic fuzzy expected value operator to simulate the uncertainties of power loss and voltage stability in the distribution network. The stochastic nature of all nonsource components in the distribution system is modeled using the Markov Monte Carlo method to generate distribution network component failure events and recovery times from an exponential distribution, considering the topology of the distribution system. Three reliability indices, namely, average system outage number, average system outage duration, and power shortage expectation, are evaluated on the IEEE 33 node standard distribution network, and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

With the proposal of the "double carbon" goal, the structure of the new power system with new energy as the main body has changed significantly, especially the access of large capacity offshore wind power units, which has brought harmonic and other power quality problems to the grid. In order to study the characteristics of low frequency harmonics generated by fan connection, firstly, a theoretical model of low frequency harmonic content in the gridconnected current of fan is established. Then, an offshore wind power simulation model is built on the simulation software ETAP to verify the output harmonic characteristics of the wind farm under different output conditions. Finally, based on the output harmonic characteristics of the wind farm, the variation coefficient synthetic weighting method is proposed to optimize the configuration of the active power filter (APF) in the wind farm to improve the control effect of the harmonic in the wind farm, and the effectiveness of the method is verified by simulation based on an actual example.

A solar thermochemical reactor was designed based on a 5 kW non coaxial concentrator simulator, and a mathematical model of the thermal performance of the reactor under concentrated irradiation was established. The model was used to calculate the influence of solar simulator power, material emissivity of reactor inner wall, working pressure and inlet velocity on the temperature distribution in the reactor. The results show that increasing the power of the solar simulator and the emissivity of the inner wall of the reactor will increase the temperature distribution of the reactor centerline. At the same inlet velocity, the temperature distribution of reactor centerline increases with the increase of working pressure. Under the same working pressure, the temperature distribution of reactor centerline increases with the increase of inlet velocity. The research results have certain reference significance for reactor parameter optimization and thermal stress analysis.

Reverse electrodialysis (RED) technology relies on the permeation selectivity of ion exchange membranes (IEMs) and the conversion of salinity gradient energy of working solutions into membrane potential, which can be used for power generation or driving electrochemical reactions.

The INVELOX wind power generation system is a kind of wind collection system with ducts, which can obtain wind power in multiple directions and at low wind speeds. The system efficiency depends on the ratio of the wind speed of incoming wind direction to the average wind speed of the venturi, that is, the velocity ratio SR. In this paper, model optimization was carried out based on INVELOX system, and taking the design of a small style wind collection device as the research object. The fluid dynamics calculation software XFlow based on Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to numerically simulate the flow field characteristics of the device at different wind speeds. By calculating the SR ratio in the Venturi tube, the critical working wind speed was 3 m/s. Through the analysis of the VSR diagram, it can be concluded that the device enhanced the wind speed in the environment with the increase of the wind speed in the flow field. At the same time, considering the application in the environment, taking 6 m/s as the wind speed of the flow field and carrying out the simulated analysis of the horizontal and oblique incoming wind to obtain the wind speed variation in the working section of the Venturi tube at different Angle of attack, which provides a reference for the engineering application of the energy acquisition device.

In order to achieve high efficiency and clean combustion of crop straw in Bashang area, typical naked oats straw was selected as the research object to analyze the pyrolysis characteristics. The pyrolysis atmosphere environment in the combustion process was created by simulating flue gas with mixed gases. The thermogravimetric analyzer was used to study the thermogravimetric characteristics and the influence of temperature rise rate on the mixed gas atmosphere composed of air and N2, CO2, and O2 in different proportions. The AKTS software was used for kinetic analysis. The results showed that: the pyrolysis process of naked oats straw was divided into three stages, which were drying stages (30~140 °C), volatilization stages (140~370 °C), carbonization stages (370~900℃). Gas atmosphere mainly affected the pyrolysis of carbonization stage, drying and volatilization stage had little effect, heating rate affects volatilization and carbonization stage, the faster the heating rate, the greater the reaction rate. When the pyrolysis atmosphere was 15%O25% CO280% N2 mixed gas (gas 2), the activation energy required for pyrolysis process was the least, and the average activation energy was 139.86 kJ/mol. The results provided a certain theoretical basis for the energy utilization of biomass straw in the alpine Bashang area.

Considering the influence of the tower shadow effect of wind turbines, and aiming at the problem that the elevation angle of wind turbines makes the aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbines more complicated, the flow field of horizontal axis wind turbines with different elevation angles was numerically simulated in this paper, and the pressure distribution of wind turbine blade cross section, vorticity and the change law of the tower cylinder surface pressure with phase angle were analyzed, so as to explore the influence of the elevation angle of wind turbines on the output power of wind turbines. The results show that increasing the rotor elevation angle can reduce the blade surface pressure, decrease the pressure difference at the tip part, and reduce the high vorticity area on the blade surface. Adding elevation angle to the wind turbine reduces the influence of the blade on the tower barrel, and the high vorticity area on the tower barrel surface gradually decreases with the increase of the wind turbine elevation angle, thus reducing the pressure fluctuation on the tower barrel surface. When the blade passes through the tower, the tower shadow effect has a great influence on the wind turbine, and the output power of the wind turbine decreases. When the blade is upright, the wind turbine output power reaches its maximum. After the elevation angle is added to the wind turbine, both the output power of the wind turbine and the elevation angle of the wind turbine wheel increase first and then decrease. The output power of wind turbine increases when the elevation angle of wind turbine is 3°, and the fluctuation decreases when the elevation angle is 6 °. The relevant conclusions can provide data support for the operation of wind turbine.
