In this paper, a review of the research state of art of the solar sorption (absorption and adsorption) refrigeration technologies is presented. After an introduction of basic principles, the development history and recent progress in solar sorption refrigeration technologies are reported. The...

α-stable distributions are utilized as models for heavy-tailed noise in many areas of statistics, finance and signal processing engineering. However, in general, neither univariate nor multivariate α-stable models admit closed form densities which can be evaluated pointwise. This complicates...

The development of electric vehicles (EVs) demands for complementary technologies in battery thermal management. To achieve fast charging/discharging capacity, liquid cooling is an effective means of maintaining temperature of a battery in operation within a narrow optimal range. In conventional...

Statistical extreme value theory is concerned with the use of asymptotically motivated models to describe the extreme values of a process. A number of commonly used models are valid for observed data that exceed some high threshold. However, in practice a suitable threshold is unknown and must...

Utility and users are two important subjects in power dispatching, and each participant wants to maximize its benefits. That is to say, utility and users are engaged in an interest game with each other. In this paper, a day-ahead economic dispatch strategy which can solve mixed integer...
