Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1321-1335: Available Resources for Algal Biofuel Development in China
31-08-2011 | Shuhao Huo; Renjie Dong; Zhongming Wang; Changle Pang; Zhenhong Yuan; Shunni Zhu; Li Chen, Energies, 2011
Microalgal biofuel research in China has made noticeable progress, and algae cultivation for biofuel production is considered to be an important contribution to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) mitigation and energy security. In this paper, the algal biofuel potentiality in China was reviewed from the ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1336: Retraction: Manivannan, V.; Chennabasappa, M.; Garrett, J. Optimization and Characterization of Lithium Ion Cathode Materials in the System (1 – x – y)LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 • xLi2MnO3 • yLiCoO2. Energies 2010, 3, 847-865.
31-08-2011 | Brietta L. Pike, Energies, 2011
It has been brought to our attention by an official faculty committee at Colorado State University that portions of the data of this article [1] are not derived from experimental activities. In particular, the ICP-AES data in Table 1 for Compound 6, and the cycle data plotted at cycle 15 and ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1278-1300: An S-Transform and Support Vector Machine (SVM)-Based Online Method for Diagnosing Broken Strands in Transmission Lines
29-08-2011 | Xingliang Jiang; Yunfeng Xia; Jianlin Hu; Zhijin Zhang; Lichun Shu; Caxin Sun, Energies, 2011
During their long-term outdoor field service, overhead transmission lines will be exposed to strikes by lightning, corrosion by chemical contaminants, ice-shedding, wind vibration of conductors, line galloping, external destructive forces and so on, which will generally cause a series of ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1301-1320: Classification of Fundamental Ferroresonance, Single Phase-to-Ground and Wire Breakage Over-Voltages in Isolated Neutral Networks
29-08-2011 | Lin Chen; Qing Yang; Jing Wang; Wenxia Sima; Tao Yuan, Energies, 2011
This paper proposes a simple and effective method for classification of fundamental ferroresonance, single phase-to-ground and wire breakage over-voltages. In isolated neutral networks, power frequency over-voltages due to ferroresonance, single phase-to-ground and wire breakage may exist for ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1258-1277: Tools for Small Hydropower Plant Resource Planning and Development: A Review of Technology and Applications
26-08-2011 | Petras Punys; Antanas Dumbrauskas; Algis Kvaraciejus; Gitana Vyciene, Energies, 2011
This paper reviews and compares software tools for the planning and design of small hydropower (SHP) plants. The main emphasis is on small scale hydropower resource assessment computer tools and methodologies for the development of SHP plants corresponding to a preliminary or prefeasibility ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1246-1257: Forecasting Electricity Demand in Thailand with an Artificial Neural Network Approach
22-08-2011 | Karin Kandananond, Energies, 2011
Demand planning for electricity consumption is a key success factor for the development of any countries. However, this can only be achieved if the demand is forecasted accurately. In this research, different forecasting methods—autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), artificial ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1197-1210: A Carbon Footprint of an Office Building
19-08-2011 | Miimu Airaksinen; Pellervo Matilainen, Energies, 2011
Current office buildings are becoming more and more energy efficient. In particular the importance of heating is decreasing, but the share of electricity use is increasing. When the CO2 equivalent emissions are considered, the CO2 emissions from embodied energy make up an important share of ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1211-1245: A General Mathematical Framework for Calculating Systems-Scale Efficiency of Energy Extraction and Conversion: Energy Return on Investment (EROI) and Other Energy Return Ratios
19-08-2011 | Adam R. Brandt; Michael Dale, Energies, 2011
The efficiencies of energy extraction and conversion systems are typically expressed using energy return ratios (ERRs) such as the net energy ratio (NER) or energy return on investment (EROI). A lack of a general mathematical framework prevents inter-comparison of NER/EROI estimates ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1178-1196: Model Predictive Control-Based Fast Charging for Vehicular Batteries
17-08-2011 | Jingyu Yan; Guoqing Xu; Huihuan Qian; Yangsheng Xu; Zhibin Song, Energies, 2011
Battery fast charging is one of the most significant and difficult techniques affecting the commercialization of electric vehicles (EVs). In this paper, we propose a fast charge framework based on model predictive control, with the aim of simultaneously reducing the charge duration, which ...
Energies, Vol. 4, Pages 1163-1177: Removal and Conversion of Tar in Syngas from Woody Biomass Gasification for Power Utilization Using Catalytic Hydrocracking
12-08-2011 | Jiu Huang; Klaus Gerhard Schmidt; Zhengfu Bian, Energies, 2011
Biomass gasification has yet to obtain industrial acceptance. The high residual tar concentrations in syngas prevent any ambitious utilization. In this paper a novel gas purification technology based on catalytic hydrocracking is introduced, whereby most of the tarry components can be ...
