The preserved greengage is a favorite dried fruit in China. In processing preserved greengages, the drying of salted greengages is a key and energy-consuming process. Traditionally, the drying of salted greengages mainly relies on natural sun drying and requires about 48 days. In this study, an...

The limited dispatchability of wind energy poses a challenge to its increased penetration. One technically feasible solution to this challenge is to integrate a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a wind farm. This highlights the importance of a BESS control strategy. In view of this, a...

Predicting the wind speed at multiple time points over a time span between two and 4 h typically requires a multi-input/multi-output model. This study investigates a wind speed forecasting method based on spectral clustering (SC) and echo state networks (ESNs). A wavelet transformation was used...

Affected by various environment factors, wind speed presents characters of high fluctuations, autocorrelation and stochastic volatility; thereby it is hard to forecast with a single model. A hybrid model combining with input selected by deep quantitative analysis, Wavelet Transform (WT), Genetic...

One-factor-at-a-time design and orthogonal design were used in the experimental design methods to optimize bio-hydrogen (bio-H2) production from cornstalk wastes by anaerobic fermentation. Three series of experiments were designed to investigate the effects of substrate concentration, initial pH...
