A Study of China-Latin America Cooperation in Green Energy Industry: Status, Obstacles, and the Policy Suggestions

A machine learning and CFD modeling hybrid approach for predicting real-time heat transfer during cokemaking processes

As the development of green energy and smart industries progresses, concerted efforts are being directed towards the transformation of coking industries. Effective management of heat transfer during the coking process is essential to fortify energy consumption management and augment the quality of coke produced. However, the process during cokemaking is a complex thermochemical conversion process where even minor deviations in operating conditions can lead to instability. Additionally, due to the environmental and chemical conditions inside the coke oven, temperature measurements during operation are difficult. As the fields of Industry 4.0 continue to evolve, numerous industries have begun to leverage intelligent strategies to enhance advanced process management. The digital twin (DG) technique stands as a pivotal technology in the realm of industrial transformation, paving the way for a smarter future. However, given the inherent difficulty in real-time data collection for process operations, the challenge of achieving synchronization becomes increasingly prevalent in the development of DG for the smart coking process. As a result, predicting changes in coal temperature during the cokemaking process is crucial. Currently, computer technology allows for the simulation of complex chemical processes. While some numerical models describe the cokemaking process, these models are limited by the time-consuming characteristic and computing resources. To address this issue, this study proposed a Machine Learning (ML) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) hybrid model for real-time prediction of heat transfer during the cokemaking process. A CFD model was built based on an industrial-scale coke oven, with cokemaking process data generated through CFD simulation serving as input for the ML models. This study used a total of nine ML models, including ensemble and deep learning models. The hyperparameters of each model were optimized by Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and JAYA algorithms to identify the optimal model structure. Both simulation and empirical experimentation using a coke oven, coupled with industrial data verification, have substantiated the superiority of the proposed model. It simulates the heat transfer during the coking process with high accuracy and efficiency, thereby demonstrating its capacity to significantly reduce energy consumption within the coking industry.

The Lac à l'Orignal phosphate deposit and constraints on high-quality phosphatic ore in massif-type anorthosite, Grenville Province, Canada

Phosphate is an indispensable component in the fertilizer industry. It has recently become a critical part of the green energy transition because of the demand for lithium ferro phosphate in rechargeable batteries. A significant amount of phosphate ore (∼90 %) is globally produced from sedimentary rocks. High-quality phosphate ore containing low amounts of toxic elements, however, is mostly produced from igneous carbonatite.The Lac à l'Orignal deposit (∼1069–993 Ma), Canada, in the central Grenville Province, contains a large amount of fluorapatite (≤ 20 %) hosted in oxide-bearing norite-gabbronorite-anorthosite layered intrusions. The deposit is hosted in the Vanel Anorthosite (1080 ± 2 Ma) near the northern border of the Mattawa Anorthosite (1016 ± 2 Ma). The major host rock oxide-apatite-gabbronorite (OAGN) is primarily composed of plagioclase, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, fluorapatite, ilmenite, and magnetite. The Al contents of the OAGN orthopyroxene indicate that the magmatic deposit was emplaced at mid-low crustal levels (∼2.0–3.6 kbar) and reverse zoning in the OAGN plagioclase suggests <2.5 kbar of pressure change during their crystallization. An overall increase of REE + Y concentrations in the OAGN fluorapatite with decreasing their fluorapatite contents indicates that the magma went through fractional crystallization. This study suggests that high abundances (ca. > 8 %) of fluorapatite in some OAGN were produced from crystal avalanching after initial crystal settling. Antithetic correlation between the Cl content of fluorapatite and the Mg# [Mg/(Mg + Fe2+)] of coexisting orthopyroxene suggests that phosphate ores with low Cl contents are expected for OAGN that formed at the initial stages of magma crystallization. Therefore, the Mg# of the OAGN orthopyroxene provides an exploration tool for targeting phosphate ore with low Cl content, which is preferred in the production of phosphoric acid, a major intermediate feedstock for the fertilizer and green energy industries. Apatite contents in carbonatite and average P2O5 content in carbonatite melt are generally similar to those of the Lac à l'Orignal OAGN. The average concentrations of REE, and toxic metals, such as Pb, Th, and U, in the OAGN fluorapatite are, however, lower than those in apatite from carbonatite worldwide. Therefore, the apatite of the OAGN appears to be of high quality and more environmentally-friendly as a source of phosphate ore.

MARITIME DEPLOYMENT PLANNING AND EXECUTION FOR FIELD TESTING OF OCEAN CURRENT POWER GENERATOR

To develop ocean current power generation, this study explored the planning and execution of the installation and deployment of a 20kW Floating Kuroshio Turbine (FKT) system and anchoring system for field-testing in the southwest coast of Liuqiu Island.

Research on the Industrial Transformation Pathways in China Under the Background of Dual Carbon Background

The industrial transformation is an important path for China to continuously advance towards the goals of carbon neutrality and peak carbon emissions. It is also an essential route for China's industries to move towards higher stages of development. The industrial transformation in China carries multiple significances, yet it is also confronted with various challenges. These include significant energy demands, insufficient levels of manufacturing capabilities, and economic disparities among different regions, all of which hinder the development of a low-carbon economy in China. To promote the transformation of Chinese industrial enterprises under the guidance of the new development philosophy, several key measures should be taken. Firstly, it is essential to establish a diversified energy supply system and vigorously develop the green energy industry. Secondly, efforts should be made to develop a green and low-carbon new industrial system while gradually phasing out industries with excess capacity. Thirdly, policies conducive to low-carbon transformation should be implemented, alongside the improvement and development of carbon financial markets and the strengthening of the role of technological innovation in driving industrial transformation and upgrading.

The transition to renewable energies in Tunisia: The asymmetric impacts of technological innovation, government stability, and democracy

The current study is concerned with the analysis of the determinants of the transition to green energies in Tunisia with a focus on institutional and technological factors. In fact, it affords a deep assessment of the asymmetric effects of technological innovation, government stability, and democracy along with economic growth and non renewable energy on clean energy in Tunisia. The analysis actually covers the 1984/2020 period. Therefore, to perform such analysis the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) approach along with the spectral causality is used. Actually, the political context is of great importance in Tunisia, because this country has been going through a political transitional stage since the 2010 revolution. The main upshots bring out that a positive variation in government stability has no significant effect on clean energy, however a negative variation decreases renewable energy by 0.521% and 0.535% in both the long and short run, respectively. Similarly, a negative variation in democracy reduces green energies. Moreover, regarding technological innovation, the results suggest that a positive shock boosts green energy while a negative one lessens it in the long run. Furthermore, a positive variation of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) positively affects green energy while a negative variation has a negative impact, in the long run. Finally, a positive shock on fossil fuel consumption decreases renewable energies and a negative shock positively affects them, in the long run. Moreover, the results of the causality confirm the presence of a one way causal link from renewable energy to government stability and GDP. In addition, there is bidirectional causality between democracy and renewable energy. Finally, there is a one way causal link from technological innovation and fossil fuel energy to green energy. Therefore, it is crucial that the political parties integrate environmental issues and mainly renewable energies in their political agenda. In addition, policymakers should encourage the creation of research centers devoted to renewable energies, which represent a link between scientific research and green energy industry.

And the bottleneck problems and development trends of the hydrogen energy industry chain are also summarized and viewed.

Analysis on coercivity enhancement mechanism of grain-boundary-diffused and Dual-alloyed Nd-Fe-B Magnets

With the rapid development of application fields, such as the green energy industry, has resulted in increased demand for magnetic characteristics, especially the coercivity (Hcj). In this paper, two types of (Nd, Dy)-Fe-B magnets with comparable Hcj values were prepared using by grain boundary diffusion (GBD) method and dual alloy (DA) method. The composition, microstructure, domain structure, and magnetization reversal process of GBD and DA magnets were subjected to comparison. Additionally, an analysis of the specific coercivity mechanism was also conducted by fitting the Brown's equation. The results of composition and microstructure analysis revealed the formation of core-shell structural grains were formed in both GBD and DA methods. Specifically, the GBD method exhibited a higher concentration of Dy in the shell, constituting 26.8 % of the total rare earth (RE) content. In contrast the DA magnets had Dy accounting for 15.8 % of the total RE content in the shell. This discrepancy was identified as the primary factor contributing to the superior efficiency in enhancing the coercivity (Hcj) observed in the GBD method. The fitting results showed that GBD magnets were more inclined to nucleate in the core region in grain, whereas DA magnets nucleate at the edge of the grain shell layer. Both the observation of magnetic domains and magnetization reversal processes analysis revealed that the demagnetization process in GBD magnets is more uniform, which leads to better squareness. Our finding can provide theoretical and experimental basis for the preparation of high-performance Nd-Fe-B magnets.

Evaluation of magnetic gear parameters for autonomous wind installation with changing wind speed

Purpose. To evaluate the parameters and characteristics of the magnetic gearbox at constant and variable wind speed as part of an autonomous wind power plant. Methodology. Analysis of existing methods of mathematical modeling of magnetic gearboxes. Numerical methods of mathematical modeling based on finite elements. Numerical methods of processing the obtained results. Findings. A two-dimensional field mathematical model has been developed to estimate the parameters and characteristics of the magnetic gearbox at variable and constant wind speed. With the help of the developed model, the electromagnetic field, parameters and characteristics of the magnetic gearbox were analyzed both at a constant and at a variable speed of rotation. In particular, it was found that the magnetic system of the reducer does not reach saturation, while the average values of magnetic induction in the structural elements of the reducer remain within the permissible values for the used materials and grades of steel. The obtained data on the average values of the electromagnetic moments of the outer (high-speed) rotor and the inner rotor make it possible to understand the relationship between them and their influence on the operation of the system. A conclusion was made about the uneven distribution of induction along the middle line in the air gap, which is caused by the presence of a modulator in the design of the reducer. In addition, according to the obtained results, the change in wind speed affects the speed of rotation of the magnetic gearbox and the magnitude of the electromagnetic moments of the high-speed and low-speed rotors. Such information helps to understand the dynamics of system operation under different environmental conditions. The results obtained in the study are important for further improvement of the magnetic reducer design and ensuring more efficient operation of the low-power wind turbine. They can be used to optimize the structure and increase its productivity, which will contribute to the development of wind energy and the green energy industry in general. The average value of the electromagnetic moment of the outer (high-speed) rotor is about 7.4 N∙m, while for the inner rotor the value of the electromagnetic moment is about 66 N∙m. The ratio of the moments of the outer and inner rotors is 8.92, which correlates with the reduction factor of the gear under study. Originality. A two-dimensional field mathematical model has been developed, which takes into account the change in the parameters and characteristics of the magnetic gearbox when the wind speed changes and the random rotation speed of the wind generator rotor. Practical value. The results of the research of the magnetic reducer for a low-power wind turbine have an important contribution to the development of wind energy, contribute to increasing the efficiency and reliability of energy production, and contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy complex.

Nanometric Cutting Mechanism of Cerium–Lanthanum Alloy

Cerium–lanthanum alloy is widely used in the green energy industry, and the nanoscale smooth surface of this material is in demand. Nanometric cutting is an effective approach to achieving the ultra-precision machining surface. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is usually used to reveal the atomic-scale details of the material removal mechanism in nanometric cutting. In this study, the effects of cutting speed and undeformed chip thickness (UCT) on cutting force and subsurface deformation of the cerium–lanthanum alloy during nanometric cutting are analyzed through MD simulation. The results illustrate that the dislocations, stacking faults, and phase transitions occur in the subsurface during cutting. The dislocations are mainly Shockley partial dislocation, and the increase of temperature and pressure during the cutting process leads to the phase transformation of γ-Ce (FCC) into β-Ce (HCP) and δ-Ce (BCC). β-Ce is mainly distributed in the stacking fault area, while δ-Ce is distributed in the boundary area between the dislocation atoms and γ-Ce atoms. The cutting speed and UCT affect the distribution of subsurface damage. A thicker deformed layer including dislocations, stacking faults and phase-transformation atoms on the machined surface is generated with the increase in the cutting speed and UCT. Simultaneously, the cutting speed and UCT significantly affect the cutting force, material removal rate, and generated subsurface state. The fluctuations in the cutting force are related to the generation and disappearance of dislocations. This research first studied the nanometric cutting mechanism of the cerium–lanthanum ally, providing a theoretical basis for the development of ultra-precision machining techniques of these materials.
