The four scales include basin scale, depression scale, play scale and trap scale, and the three levels include theoretical storage capacity, engineering storage capacity, and economic storage capacity. The theoretical storage capacity can be divided into four trapping mechanisms, i.e. structural & stratigraphic trapping, residual trapping, solubility trapping and mineral trapping, depending upon the geological parameters, reservoir conditions and fluid properties in the basin. The engineering storage capacity is affected by the injectivity, storage security pressure, well number, and injection time.The economic storage capacity mainly considers the carbon pricing yield, drilling investment, and operation cost, based on the break-even principle. Application of the method for saline aquifer in the Gaoyou sag of the Subei Basin reveals that the structural & stratigraphic trapping occupies the largest proportion of the theoretical storage capacity, followed by the solubility trapping and the residual trapping, and the mineral trapping takes the lowest proportion. The engineering storage capacity and the economic storage capacity are significantly lower than the theoretical storage capacity when considering the constrains of injectivity, security and economy, respectively accounting for 21.0% and 17.6% of the latter.展开更多

文摘Micro-sized anatase TiO_(2) displays inferior capacity as cathode material for magnesium ion batteries because of the higher diffusion energy barrier of Mg^(2+)in anatase TiO_(2) lattice.Herein,we report that nanosized anatase TiO_(2) exposed(001)facet doubles the capacity compared to the micro-sized sample ascribed to the interfacial Mg^(2+)ion storage.First-principles calculations reveal that the diffusion energy barrier of Mg^(2+)on the(001)facet is significantly lower than those in the bulk phase and on(100)facet,and the adsorption energy of Mg^(2+)on the(001)facet is also considerably lower than that on(100)facet,which guarantees superior interfacial Mg^(2+)storage of(001)facet.Moreover,anatase TiO_(2) exposed(001)facet displays a significantly higher capacity of 312.9 mAh g^(−1) in Mg-Li dual-salt electrolyte compared to 234.3 mAh g^(−1) in Li salt electrolyte.The adsorption energies of Mg^(2+)on(001)facet are much lower than the adsorption energies of Li+on(001)facet,implying that the Mg^(2+)ion interfacial storage is more favorable.These results highlight that controlling the crystal facet of the nanocrystals effectively enhances the interfacial storage of multivalent ions.This work offers valuable guidance for the rational design of high-capacity storage systems.

文摘In wind power transmission via modular multilevel converter based high voltage direct current(MMCHVDC)systems,under traditional control strategies,MMC-HVDCcannot provide inertia support to the receiving-end grid(REG)during disturbances.Moreover,due to the frequency decoupling between the two ends of the MMCHVDC,the sending-end wind farm(SEWF)cannot obtain the frequency variation information of the REG to provide inertia response.Therefore,this paper proposes a novel coordinated source-network-storage inertia control strategy based on wind power transmission via MMC-HVDC system.First,the grid-side MMC station(GS-MMC)maps the frequency variations of the REG to direct current(DC)voltage variations through the frequency mapping control,and uses submodule capacitor energy to provide inertial power.Then,the wind farm-side MMC station(WF-MMC)restores the DC voltage variations to frequency variations through the frequency restoration control and power loss compensation,providing real-time frequency information for the wind farm.Finally,based on real-time frequency information,thewind farmutilizes the rotor kinetic energy and energy storage to provide fast and lasting power support through the wind-storage coordinated inertia control strategy.Meanwhile,when the wind turbines withdraw from the inertia response phase,the energy storage can increase the power output to compensate for the power deficit,preventing secondary frequency drops.Furthermore,this paper uses small-signal analysis to determine the appropriate values for the key parameters of the proposed control strategy.A simulation model of the wind power transmission via MMCHVDC system is built in MATLAB/Simulink environment to validate and evaluate the proposed method.The results show that the proposed coordinated control strategy can effectively improve the system inertia level and avoid the secondary frequency drop under the load sudden increase condition.

文摘Metal hydrides with high hydrogen density provide promising hydrogen storage paths for hydrogen transportation.However,the requirement of highly pure H_(2)for re-hydrogenation limits its wide application.Here,amorphous Al_(2)O_(3)shells(10 nm)were deposited on the surface of highly active hydrogen storage material particles(MgH_(2)-ZrTi)by atomic layer deposition to obtain MgH_(2)-ZrTi@Al_(2)O_(3),which have been demonstrated to be air stable with selective adsorption of H_(2)under a hydrogen atmosphere with different impurities(CH_(4),O_(2),N_(2),and CO_(2)).About 4.79 wt%H_(2)was adsorbed by MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)at 75℃under 10%CH_(4)+90%H_(2)atmosphere within 3 h with no kinetic or density decay after 5 cycles(~100%capacity retention).Furthermore,about 4 wt%of H_(2)was absorbed by MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)under 0.1%O_(2)+0.4%N_(2)+99.5%H_(2)and 0.1%CO_(2)+0.4%N_(2)+99.5%H_(2)atmospheres at 100℃within 0.5 h,respectively,demonstrating the selective hydrogen absorption of MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)in both oxygen-containing and carbon dioxide-containing atmospheres hydrogen atmosphere.The absorption and desorption curves of MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)with and without absorption in pure hydrogen and then in 21%O_(2)+79%N_(2)for 1 h were found to overlap,further confirming the successful shielding effect of Al_(2)O_(3)shells against O_(2)and N_(2).The MgH_(2)-ZrTi@10nmAl_(2)O_(3)has been demonstrated to be air stable and have excellent selective hydrogen absorption performance under the atmosphere with CH_(4),O_(2),N_(2),and CO_(2).

文摘Offshore carbon dioxide(CO_(2))geological storage is a promising strategy for reducing carbon emissions and supporting sustainable development in coastal regions within a carbon neutrality framework.However,only a few works have focused on offshore basins in China.To address this gap,this study established a dual indicator system that comprises necessary and critical indices and is integrated with the analytic hierarchy process.A coupled analysis was then performed to evaluate the suitability of 10 offshore sedimentary basins in China for CO_(2)geological storage.The necessary indicator system focuses on storage potential,geological conditions,and engineering feasibility.Meanwhile,the critical indicator system emphasizes the safety of storage projects and the viability of drilling operations.Evaluation results revealed that China's offshore basins have undergone two geological evolution stages,namely,the rifting and post-rifting phases,leading to the formation of a dual-layer structure characterized by faulted lower layers and sagged upper layers.These basins have thick and widespread Cenozoic strata,generally low seismic activity,and medium-to-low geothermal gradients.They form five reservoir-caprock systems with favorable geological conditions for CO_(2)storage.The Pearl River Mouth,East China Sea Shelf,and Bohai Basins emerged as primary candidates that offer substantial storage potential to support carbon neutrality goals in the Bohai Rim Economic Zone,Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone,and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.The Beibu Gulf and South Yellow Sea Basins were identified as secondary candidates,and the Qiongdongnan and Yinggehai Basins were considered potential alternatives.

文摘This study introduces a real-time data-driven battery management scheme designed to address uncertainties in load and generation forecasts,which are integral to an optimal energy storage control system.By expanding on an existing algorithm,this study resolves issues discovered during implementation and addresses previously overlooked concerns,resulting in significant enhancements in both performance and reliability.The refined real-time control scheme is integrated with a day-ahead optimization engine and forecast model,which is utilized for illustrative simulations to highlight its potential efficacy on a real site.Furthermore,a comprehensive comparison with the original formulation was conducted to cover all possible scenarios.This analysis validated the operational effectiveness of the scheme and provided a detailed evaluation of the improvements and expected behavior of the control system.Incorrect or improper adjustments to mitigate forecast uncertainties can result in suboptimal energy management,significant financial losses and penalties,and potential contract violations.The revised algorithm optimizes the operation of the battery system in real time and safeguards its state of health by limiting the charging/discharging cycles and enforcing adherence to contractual agreements.These advancements yield a reliable and efficient real-time correction algorithm for optimal site management,designed as an independent white box that can be integrated with any day-ahead optimization control system.

文摘According to the requirements for large-scale project implementation, a four-scale and three-level CO_(2)storage potential evaluation method is proposed for saline aquifers in a petroliferous basin in China, considering geological,engineering and economic factors. The four scales include basin scale, depression scale, play scale and trap scale, and the three levels include theoretical storage capacity, engineering storage capacity, and economic storage capacity. The theoretical storage capacity can be divided into four trapping mechanisms, i.e. structural & stratigraphic trapping, residual trapping, solubility trapping and mineral trapping, depending upon the geological parameters, reservoir conditions and fluid properties in the basin. The engineering storage capacity is affected by the injectivity, storage security pressure, well number, and injection time.The economic storage capacity mainly considers the carbon pricing yield, drilling investment, and operation cost, based on the break-even principle. Application of the method for saline aquifer in the Gaoyou sag of the Subei Basin reveals that the structural & stratigraphic trapping occupies the largest proportion of the theoretical storage capacity, followed by the solubility trapping and the residual trapping, and the mineral trapping takes the lowest proportion. The engineering storage capacity and the economic storage capacity are significantly lower than the theoretical storage capacity when considering the constrains of injectivity, security and economy, respectively accounting for 21.0% and 17.6% of the latter.

文摘The magnesium based metal hydrogen storage composite system Mg(NH_(2))_(2)-2LiH has a theoretical hydro-gen storage capacity of 5.6 wt.%and is a promising hydrogen storage material for vehicles.However,its application is limited due to serious thermodynamic and kinetic barriers.Introducing efficient catalysts is an effective method to improve the hydrogen storage performance of Mg(NH_(2))_(2)-2LiH.This article in-vestigates for the first time the use of nano rare earth oxide CeO_(2)(~44.5 nm)as an efficient modifier,achieving comprehensive regulation of the hydrogen storage performance of Mg(NH_(2))_(2)-2LiH composite system through oxygen vacancy driven catalysis.The modification mechanism of nano CeO_(2) is also sys-tematically studied using density functional theory(DFT)calculations and experimental results.Research has shown that the comprehensive hydrogen storage performance of the Mg(NH_(2))_(2)-2LiH-5 wt.%CeO_(2) composite system is optimal,with high hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics and reversible per-formance.The initial hydrogen absorption and desorption temperatures of the composite system were significantly reduced from 110/130℃to 65/80℃,and the release of by-product ammonia was signifi-cantly inhibited.Under the conditions of 170℃/50 min and 180℃/100 min,4.37 wt.%of hydrogen can be rapidly absorbed and released.After 10 cycles of hydrogen release,the hydrogen cycle retention rate increased from 85%to nearly 100%.Further mechanistic studies have shown that the nano CeO_(2-x) gen-erated in situ during hydrogen evolution can effectively weaken the Mg-N and N-H bonds of Mg(NH_(2))_(2),exhibiting good catalytic effects.Meanwhile,oxygen vacancies provide a fast pathway for the diffusion of hydrogen atoms in the composite system.In addition,nano CeO_(2-x) can effectively inhibit the polycrys-talline transformation of the hydrogen evolving product Li_(2)MgN_(2)H_(2) in the system at high temperatures,reducing the difficulty of re-hydrogenation of the system.This study provides an innovative perspective for the efficient modification of magnesium based metal hydrogen storage composite materials using rare earth based catalysts,and also provides a reference for regulating the comprehensive hydrogen storage performance of hydrogen storage materials using rare earth catalysts with oxygen vacancies.

文摘Phase Change Material(PCM)-based cold energy storage system(CESS)can effectively utilize the peak and valley power resources to reduce the excessive dependence on the power grid.In this study,a PCM-based CESS was designed for cold storage applications.The optimal number of PCM plates was determined through numerical simulations to meet the required cold storage temperature and control time.Additionally,the air temperature field,flow field,and melting characteristics of the PCMplates during the cooling release process were analyzed.The effects of plate positioning and thickness on the cooling release performance were further investigated.The results indicated that when 64PCMplateswere used,the duration formaintaining temperatures below−18℃increased from0.6 h to approximately 16.94 h.During the cooling release process,the temperature field in the cold storage exhibited stratification,and the melting of the PCM plates was non-uniform.Placing the PCM plates at the top or within the interlayers without cargo above proved more effective,with their cooling release power being approximately twice that of the PCM plates placed in the interlayers with cargo above.Furthermore,reducing the thickness of the PCMplates from15 to 7.5mmresulted in a 3.6-h increase in the time below−18℃and a 4.5-h reduction in the time required to reach 80%liquid phase fraction.

文摘Clarifying the mechanisms through which coal mining affects groundwater storage(GWS)variations is crucial for water resource conservation and sustainable development.The Ordos Mining Region in China,a key energy base in China with significant strategic importance,has undergone intensive coal mining activities that have substantially disrupted regional groundwater circulation.This study integrated data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Satellite(GRACE)and Famine Early Warning Systems Network(FEWS NET)Land Data Assimilation System(FLDAS)models,combined with weighted downscaling methodology and water balance principles,to reconstruct high-resolution(0.01°)terrestrial water storage(TWS)and GWS changes in the Ordos Mining Region,China from April 2002 to December 2021.The accuracy of GWS variations were validated through pumping test measurements.Subsequently,Geodetector analysis was implemented to quantify the contributions of natural and anthropogenic factors to groundwater storage dynamics.Key findings include:1)TWS in the study area showed a fluctuating but overall decreasing trend,with a total reduction of 8901.11 mm during study period.The most significant annual decrease occurred in 2021,reaching 1696.77 mm.2)GWS exhibited an accelerated decline,with an average annual change rate of 44.35 mm/yr,totaling a decrease of 887.05 mm.The lowest annual groundwater storage level was recorded in 2020,reaching 185.69 mm.3)Precipitation(PRE)contributed the most to GWS variation(q=0.52),followed by coal mining water consumption(MWS)(q=0.41).The interaction between PRE and MWS exhibited a nonlinear enhancement effect on GWS changes(0.54).The synergistic effect of natural hydrological factors has a great influence on the change of GWS,but coal mining water consumption will continue to reduce GWS.These findings provide critical references for the management and regulation of groundwater resource in mining regions.

文摘Geological storage in salt caverns plays a critical role in managing energy resources,yet regional assessments often fall short in accounting for specific salt dome morphological variations that can significantly influence cavern engineering and storage capacity.To address this gap,we developed a refined approach to modeling salt domes,incorporating primary axis tilt,ellipticity,and conic taper.These geometric modifications are applied to a cylindrical baseline salt dome model to assess the effects on total salt volume,workable salt volume,and cavern storage potential.Case studies of four salt domes from the East Texas Salt Basin—Mount Sylvan,Boggy Creek,Steen,and Hainesville—validate the observed trends from the models.Our findings reveal that positive cone taper and primary axis tilt configurations enhance storage potential,leading to significant increases in potential cavern volume,while ellipticity and negative cone taper result in reduced storage capacities.The study underscores the importance of refining volumetric assessments by accounting for detailed morphologic variations,providing a more accurate framework for site-specific geological storage evaluations.Additionally,we discuss challenges related to intra-salt heterogeneities,including intra-salt deformation and mineralogical impurities,highlighting the need for improved site characterization to optimize the safety and efficiency of subsurface storage systems.This work contributes to the development of scalable and reliable geological storage infrastructure,essential for meeting future energy demands.

文摘The rapid development of portable electronics,wearable technologies,and healthcare monitoring systems necessitates the innovation of flexible energy storage systems.Considering environmental pollution and the depletion of fossil resources,the utilization of renewable resources to engineer advanced flexible materials has become especially crucial.Cellulose,the most abundant natural polymer,has emerged as a promising precursor for advanced functional materials due to its unique structure and properties.Typically,the easy processability,tunable chemical structure,self-assembly behavior,mechanical strength,and reinforcing capability enable its utilization as binder,substrate,hybrid electrode,separator,and electrolyte reservoir for flexible energy storage devices.This review comprehensively summarizes the design,fabrication,and mechanical and electrochemical performances of cellulose-based materials.The structure and unique properties of cellulose are first briefly introduced.Then,the construction of cellulose-based materials in the forms of 1D fibers/filaments,2D films/membranes,3D hydrogels and aerogels is discussed,and the merits of cellulose in these materials are emphasized.After that,the various advanced applications in supercapacitors,lithium-ion batteries,lithium-sulfur batteries,sodium-ion batteries,metal-air batteries,and Zn-ion batteries are presented in detail.Finally,an outlook of the potential challenges and future perspectives in advanced cellulose-based materials for flexible energy storage systems is discussed.

文摘Germany aims to achieve a national climate-neutral energy system by 2045.The residential sector still accounts for 29%of end energy consumption,with 74%attributed to the direct use of fossil fuels for heating and hot water.In order to reduce fossil energy use in the household sector,great efforts are being made to design new energy concepts that expand the use of renewable energies to supply electricity andheat.Onepossibility is toconvertparts of the natural gas grid to a hydrogen-based gas grid to deliver and store energy for urban quarters of buildings,especially with older building stock where electrification of heat via heat pumps is difficult due to technical,acoustical,and economic reasons.A comprehensive dataset was generated by a bottom-up analysis with open governmental and statistical data to determine regional building types regarding energy demand,solar potential,and existing grid infrastructure.The buildings’connections to the electricity,gas,and district heating networks are considered.From this,a representative sample dataset was chosen as input for a newly developed energy system model based on energy flow simulation.The model simulates the interaction of hydrogen generation(HG)(from excess solar energy by electrolysis),storage in a metal-hydride storage(MHS)tank,and hydrogen use in a connected fuel cell(FC),forming a local PVPtGtHP(Photovoltaic Power-to-Gas-to-Heat-and-Power)network.Next to the seasonal hydrogen storage path(HSP),a battery will complete the system to forma hybrid energy storage system(HESS).Paired with seasonal time series for PV power,electricity and heat demand,and a model for connection to grid infrastructure,the simulation of different hydrogen applications and MHS placements aims to analyze operating times and energy share of the systems’equipment and existing infrastructure.The method to obtain the data set together with the simulationmodel presented can be used by energy planners for cities,communities,and building developers to analyze the potentials of a quarter or region and plan a transition towards a more energy-efficient and sustainable energy system.
