Due to the lack of specific structure and size of gas turbine, the characteristic maps of components cannot be obtained, which causes many difficulties on building an accurate gas turbine model and judging degradation with the increase of running time. In this research, the field data of Ban...

Short-term solar irradiance forecasting (STSIF) is of great significance for the optimal operation and power predication of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) plants. However, STSIF is very complex to handle due to the random and nonlinear characteristics of solar irradiance under changeable...

Based on the performance analysis of the single stage, the two-stage and the double absorption heat transformer, a new ejection-absorption heat transformer is presented and analyzed in this paper. The results show that it has a simpler configuration than the double absorption heat transformer...

The absorption heat transformer (AHT) is a promising system for recovering waste heat. It can effectively recover about 50% of the waste heat and reuse it in industrial processes. However, there exists a need for identifying suitable working fluid combinations and for evaluating their relative...

Low concentration methane, emitted from various industries e.g. coal mines and landfills into atmosphere, is not only an important greenhouse gas, but also a wasted energy resource if not utilized. In the past decade, we have been developing a novel VAMCAT (ventilation air methane catalytic...
