Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, the importance of developing low-carbon energy systems has risen. With the looming threat of climate change and the urgent need to mitigate its effects, the scientific community has united in advancing innovative approaches to detect, control, and optimize low-carbon energy systems. This interdisciplinary field represents a fusion of engineering, environmental science, and technology, propelled by a collective dedication to fostering a greener, more sustainable future.

This Special Issue titled "Advances in Detection, Control and Optimization of Low-Carbon Energy Systems" seeks to explore recent breakthroughs in detecting, controlling, and optimizing low-carbon energy systems, discussing novel technologies, methodologies, and best practices. Topics encompass, but are not confined to, the following:

  • Integration of renewable energy, energy storage, carbon capture and storage, etc., in industrial processes;
  • Multi-criteria analysis of energy system, including thermodynamic, economic, thermoeconomic, and environmental assessments;
  • Signal processing and big data analysis in a low-carbon energy system;
  • Low-carbon combustion technology (e-fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen, the Allam cycle, etc.).

We sincerely hope that you will consider contributing to this Special Issue. Your participation would greatly enrich the general discourse and contribute to the advancement of this vital research field.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jing Zhou

Due to the extensive use of fossil fuels, energy conservation and sustainable transportation have become hot topics. Electric vehicles (EVs), renowned for their clean and eco-friendly attributes, have garnered considerable global attention and are progressively being embraced worldwide. However, disorganized EV charging not only reduces charging station efficiency but also threatens power grid stability. In this low-carbon era, photovoltaic storage charging stations offer a solution that accommodates future EV growth. However, due to the significant instability in both the charging load and photovoltaic power generation within charging stations, it is critical to maximize local photovoltaic power consumption and minimize the impact of disorganized EV charging on the power grid. This paper formulates an intelligent scheduling strategy for electric heavy trucks within charging stations based on typical photovoltaic output data. The study focuses on a photovoltaic storage charging station in an industrial zone in Xinjiang. While considering the electricity procurement cost of the charging station, the aim is to minimize fluctuations in the electricity procurement load. A simulation analysis was conducted using MATLAB 2021a software, and the results indicated that, compared to an uncoordinated charging strategy for electric heavy trucks, the proposed strategy reduced electricity procurement costs by CNY 1348.25, decreased load fluctuations by 169.45, and improved the utilization efficiency of photovoltaic energy by 30%. A statistical analysis was also used to support the reduction in electricity procurement costs and load variations. Finally, a sensitivity analysis of the weight factors in the objective function was performed, proving that the proposed strategy effectively reduces electricity procurement costs and improves the utilization efficiency of photovoltaic energy.

The cylinder liner bears alternating thermal load and mechanical load, and evaluating the cylinder liner deformation is a key issue in the design stage of an engine. In this work, the shape and position tolerance of the cylinder liner to various loads were studied based on the finite element method, the simplex algorithm and the least square method. Firstly, the heat transfer boundary conditions of the cylinder liner were obtained through combustion simulation. Combined with the mechanical load, the transient deformation of the cylinder liner under the thermo-mechanical load was obtained. Subsequently, the out-of-roundness and coaxiality were selected to evaluate the shape and position changes in the cylinder liner. Finally, the transient tolerance analysis of the cylinder liner under alternating thermo-mechanical load was carried out. The results show that the maximum out-of-roundness of the cylinder liner under thermal load, mechanical load and thermos-mechanical load was 15.12, 43.40 and 51.76 μm, respectively. The maximum coaxiality under thermal load, mechanical load and thermos-mechanical load were 6.17, 80.49 and 80.22 μm. The side thrust was more likely to cause uneven deformation of the cylinder liner section, the liner coaxiality was mainly affected by the cylinder burst pressure, and the liner shape tolerance was much more sensitive to the mechanical load than the mechanical load.
