Microalga Chlorella protothecoides can grow heterotrophically with glucose as the carbon source and accumulate high proportion of lipids. The microalgal lipids are suitable for biodiesel production. To further increase lipid yield and reduce biodiesel cost, sweet sorghum juice was investigated...

The high penetration of both Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Demand Response (DR) in modern power systems requires a sequence of advanced strategies and technologies for maintaining system reliability and flexibility. Real-time electricity markets (RTM) are the non-discriminatory...

This paper estimated the cost curve of energy saving and CO2 emissions reduction in China’s iron and steel sector. Forty-one energy saving technologies which are widely used or popularized are selected, their investments, operation costs, energy savings and CO2 abatement are collected and the...

Solar powered solid desiccant cooling system is a good alternative to conventional vapor compression system. In this paper, a novel solar driven desiccant coated heat exchanger cooling (SDCC) system is proposed. In order to validate the feasibility of such system and to predict system...

A novel chiller with open-cycle rotary desiccant cooling has been investigated experimentally. The technologies of two-stage dehumidification and regenerative evaporative cooling have been integrated together in this chiller. The objective of this study is to extend the ability for handling...

To solve the overheating problem caused by the solar radiation and to keep the indoor temperature and humidity at a proper level for plants or crops, cooling technologies play vital role in greenhouse industry, and among which evaporative cooling is one of the most commonly-used methods....
