Life cycle assessment of typical tower solar thermal power station in China

In light of the growing environmental awareness and the sustainable development consideration in energy policies, the environmental impacts of concentrating solar power (CSP) have attracted significant attention. Considering that the site selection of CSP stations and databases used for evaluation has an important impact on the environment, the objective of this study is to assess the impact of concentrating solar power tower (CSP-T) station with thermal storage devices in the geographical context of China from environmental perspective by the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. To achieve this goal and ensure the reliability of the research results, a 2 × 50 MW capacity, double tank solar nitrate energy storage, and 12-h energy storage time CSP-T station in Dunhuang, Gansu, was selected. In addition, its model was constructed using the eFootprint online platform, assessing the environmental impacts of the CSP-T station according to the cradle-to-grave system boundary. Moreover, the impact assessment was performed in terms of key metrics, such as energy payback time (EPT), carbon cost of electricity (CCOE), carbon flow analysis, and environmental benefits of energy conservation and emission reduction. The results showed that the production stage is the most significant source of environmental impact in the life cycle of the CSP-T station, with the condensing system and heat storage system contributing 50.17 % and 47.64 % respectively. It can be found that the EPT of the CSP-T station is estimated at 4.88 years, accounting for 16.25 % of the operation cycle of the thermal power station, and varies depending on the station's location. It can be reduced to 3.19 years in places such as North Africa with abundant light intensity. Furthermore, the CCOE of the CSP-T station is 0.04 kg CO2/kWh. Overall, CSP-T station has over 95 % environmental benefits for energy conservation and emission reduction for most indices compared to thermal power station. Although the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) index is slightly lower, it still reaches 82.67 %. To promote the ecological development of the CSP-T station in China, this study usually includes a brief comment or relevant improvement recommendations after each comparative analysis.

PRELIMINARY STUDY OF AMBIENT ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AT BASE TOWER STATIONS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN KUALA NERUS

Introduction: Mobile communications developed into an integral component of our daily life. The growing demand for mobile communication services in Kuala Nerus has seen an increase in the installation of base station towers (BST) in residential areas, as well as near schools, and hospitals. Kuala Nerus was selected as a study location because it is a newly developed district in Terengganu, hence, it is crucial to perform electromagnetic radiation (EMR) measurements in the early stages. Objective/aim: This study aimed to measure the RF EMR exposure level in residential areas in Kuala Nerus by measuring the strength of its electric field (EF) strength and power density (PD) value while comparing it with the ICNIRP’s standard guidelines. Materials and methods: Measurements were made using NARDA NBM 550, connected to a probe that could detect frequencies from 100kHz to 6GHz. The data collection period for each point was approximately 6 minutes during daytime. Results: Average radiation levels in terms of EF strength at all locations were found to vary between 0.26 (V/m) to 3.35 (V/m) (PD value about 0.02 µW/cm² to 2.97 µW/cm²). The highest level was measured at Surau Kg Pok Tuyu, which was 5.48% or 18 times lower than the MCMC exposure limit for public areas. Conclusion: The RF value obtained does not exceed the standard limit, which in turn contributes indirectly to health monitoring initiatives for public NIR exposure. This study found that exposure levels in selected BSTs in residential areas in Kuala Nerus were within the standard guideline limits.
 
 

Derivation and compilation of lower-atmospheric properties relating to temperature, wind, stability, moisture, and surface radiation budget over the central Arctic sea ice during MOSAiC

Abstract. Atmospheric measurements taken over the span of an entire year between October 2019 and September 2020 during the icebreaker-based Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition provide insight into processes acting in the Arctic atmosphere. Through the merging of disparate yet complementary in situ observations, we can derive information about these thermodynamic and kinematic processes with great detail. This paper describes methods used to create a lower-atmospheric properties dataset containing information on several key features relating to the central Arctic atmospheric boundary layer, including properties of temperature inversions, low-level jets, near-surface meteorological conditions, cloud cover, and the surface radiation budget. The lower-atmospheric properties dataset was developed using observations from radiosondes launched at least four times per day, a 10 m meteorological tower and radiation station deployed on the sea ice near the research vessel Polarstern, and a ceilometer located on the deck of the Polarstern. This lower-atmospheric properties dataset, which can be found at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.957760 (Jozef et al., 2023), contains metrics which fall into the overarching categories of temperature, wind, stability, clouds, and radiation at the time of each radiosonde launch. The purpose of the lower-atmospheric properties dataset is to provide a consistent description of general atmospheric boundary layer conditions throughout the MOSAiC year, which can aid in research applications with the overall goal of gaining a greater understanding of the atmospheric processes governing the central Arctic and how they may contribute to future climate change.

Thermodynamic and kinematic drivers of atmospheric boundary layer stability in the central Arctic during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC)

Abstract. Observations collected during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) provide a detailed description of the impact of thermodynamic and kinematic forcings on atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) stability in the central Arctic. This study reveals that the Arctic ABL is stable and near-neutral with similar frequencies, and strong stability is the most persistent of all stability regimes. MOSAiC radiosonde observations, in conjunction with observations from additional measurement platforms, including a 10 m meteorological tower, ceilometer, microwave radiometer, and radiation station, provide insight into the relationships between atmospheric stability and various atmospheric thermodynamic and kinematic forcings of ABL turbulence and how these relationships differ by season. We found that stronger stability largely occurs in low-wind (i.e., wind speeds are slow), low-radiation (i.e., surface radiative fluxes are minimal) environments; a very shallow mixed ABL forms in low-wind, high-radiation environments; weak stability occurs in high-wind, moderate-radiation environments; and a near-neutral ABL forms in high-wind, high-radiation environments. Surface pressure (a proxy for synoptic staging) partially explains the observed wind speeds for different stability regimes. Cloud frequency and atmospheric moisture contribute to the observed surface radiation budget. Unique to summer, stronger stability may also form when moist air is advected from over the warmer open ocean to over the colder sea ice surface, which decouples the colder near-surface atmosphere from the advected layer, and is identifiable through observations of fog and atmospheric moisture.

Development of seismic fragilities for a base station steel lattice cellular tower

A large portion of the country of Turkey is located in a very high seismic region known as a first-degree earthquake zone where earthquakes occur frequently. Earthquakes result in damage to infrastructure including base station towers and subsequently failure of mobile communication networks. The loss of functionality of mobile communication networks following an earthquake has a direct impact on emergency response and both short and long-term recovery phases. Understanding both these phases requires systematic modeling of infrastructure components, which rely on fragility curves representing the probabilistic relationship between seismic intensity and damage. This study focuses on the development of damage fragility curves (fragilities) for an archetypical mobile cellular tower, namely a 55 m tall steel lattice tower (SLT) used in base station towers in Turkey. Nonlinear time history analysis was performed using a robust suite of far field ground motion records to model the performance of the archetype tower and develop damage fragilities for five specific damage states which were defined in terms of likely performance: damage state 0 (no damage), damage state 1 (uninterrupted communication), damage state 2 (communication interruption), damage state 3 (communication failure), damage state 4 (structural failure). While fragility curve has been developed for lattice towers of different types and sizes in the literature, there is no specific study for 55 m SLT and the novelty of this study is that the resulting SLT archetype fragilities can serve as a benchmark dataset for use in community-level risk and resilience analyses to improve response and recovery planning following earthquakes.

The final values at 22.5 cm above marker height are 980177.781 ± 0.010 mGal at the Lincoln Bell Tower Station and 980178.079 ± 0.010 mGal at the Lincoln Museum station with a gravity gradient of -3.105 μGal/cm. This paper describes the process of transferring gravity values and outlines recommendations for similar projects in the future.

Implementasi Algoritma Floyd Warshall dalam Pencarian Rute Terpendek Lokasi Tower Base Transceiver Station (BTS) pada PT Citra Akses Indonusa

PT Citra Akes Indonusa is a company that operates on the expertise of information technology services in Banten Province. One of the services provided by the company requires the construction of a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) tower. The tower requires maintenance if there is damage to the network signal. As a result, the shortest route is needed to make it easier for employees to reach the tower location to be more effective. There are eight BTS tower locations in Tangerang Regency and three BTS tower locations in Tangerang City. The process of finding the shortest route in this study uses the Floyd Warshall algorithm, which is unique in finding the shortest route by comparing each edge of all edges that are passed. The process of testing the shortest route is done by selecting the starting point, then selecting several BTS tower locations. Next, the shortest route will be searched using the Floyd Warshall algorithm from each point of destination for the BTS tower location, then the BTS tower location will be selected first and so on until the last destination. The effectiveness of this shortest route search involves a comparison of the routes presented by Google Maps. Based on the results of 30 randomized trials on BTS tower locations, the average shortest route effectiveness was 25.54% compared to the route generated by Google Maps. This is due to the selection at each BTS tower destination location so as to make the route more effective.

Statistical PM2.5 Prediction in an Urban Area Using Vertical Meteorological Factors

A key concern related to particulate air pollution is the development of an early warning system that can predict local PM2.5 levels and excessive PM2.5 concentration episodes using vertical meteorological factors. Machine learning (ML) algorithms, particularly those with recognition tasks, show great potential for this purpose. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of multiple linear regression (MLR) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) in predicting PM2.5 levels. The software was trained to predict PM2.5 levels up to 7 days in advance using data from long-term measurements of vertical meteorological factors taken at five heights above ground level (AGL)—10, 30, 50, 75, and 110 m—and PM2.5 concentrations measured 30 m AGL. The data used were collected between 2015 and 2020 at the Microclimate and Air Pollutants Monitoring Tower station at Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand. The results showed that the correlation coefficients of PM2.5 predicted and observed using MLR and MLP were in the range of 0.69–0.86 and 0.64–0.82, respectively, for 1–3 days ahead. Both models showed satisfactory agreement with the measured data, and MLR performed better than MLP at PM2.5 prediction. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the proposed approach can be used as a component of an early warning system in cities, contributing to sustainable air quality management in urban areas.

Aerodynamic noise due to complex internal flow through cordless vacuum cleaner and suction tower station

Although the demands and sales of cordless vacuum cleaner are on the rise in the global home appliance markets, consumers face the inconvenience of short battery life and frequent emptying of the dust box. To solve this inconvenience, a station tower that can automatically charge the battery and empty the dust box has been developed. However, aerodynamic noise generated when the station tower sucks dust causes another inconvenience. The purpose of this study is to identify the major aerodynamic noise sources that occur when such a station tower is connected to a wireless vacuum cleaner and operate, and to develop a low-noise design based on this. First, the entire flow path of a cordless vacuum cleaner and a station tower was simulated using the unsteady compressible RANS equations. Then, the main aerodynamic noise sources were identified using the vortex sound sources. From these results, the flow region through the head throat of the cordless vacuum cleaner was identified one of the most significant aerodynamic noise sources. Based on the identified noise source mechanism, new throat design was proposed, and its validity was investigated using a high-resolution Large Eddy Simulation technique. It was found that the strength of vortex sound source of pipe flow through the new head throat was much less than the original one. Finally, the new design geometry was applied to create a prototype, and the sound pressure spectrum measured for the prototype was compared to the original, which showed that the radiated noise level of the new one was less than the original one.

Pengujian Antena Yagi Grid Extreme Sebagai Alat Penguat Sinyal Di Desa Tebat Benawa

The village of Tebat Benawa, the city of Pagar Alam, is located in a highland surrounded by many hills and trees. This is one of the factors that causes the signal emitted by the Base Tranceiver Station (BTS) tower which is ±12 km to the village of Tebat Benawa to be less good. Therefore, to improve the quality of the wifi network in the village of Tebat Benawa by utilizing the yagi grid extreme antenna as a signal amplifier. In this study, the Prepare, Plan, Design, Implemant, Operate, Optimaze (PPDIOO) method is used, because in this method there are steps that can assist in improving the quality of the wifi network by using an extreme yagi grid antenna in the village of Tebat Benawa. Prior to the installation of the Yagi Grid Extreme antenna, the wifi signal strength obtained was 2.1 Kbps, which means the signal strength is in the E or EDGE (Enchance Data Rate for GSM Eolution) signal range, which means that data transfer is slow. In measurements after using the Yagi Grid Extreme antenna, the signal strength in a closed room was obtained with a value of -32 dBm with a speed of 80 Mbps, but when the user's range was 20 meters from the antenna, the wifi signal strength became -89 dBm with a speed of 19 Mbps. While the test when the antenna is installed outside with a support pole, the wifi signal strength is -23 dBm and the speed is 72 Mbps, which means the signal is in the excellent or very good category.

Variation characteristics of soil temperature, moisture, and heat flux in the understorey of evergreen broadleaf forest in South China

Based on observation data from the observation tower station in Zhuhai in South China from October 2015 to May 2018, the variations in soil temperature, moisture, and heat flux in the understorey of evergreen broadleaf forest are analyzed. The ground surface temperature is slightly greater than the canopy surface temperature; the soil temperature is the smallest. The seasonal variation in the soil moisture fluctuates around a relative equilibrium as the rain increases or decreases. Both ground and canopy surface temperatures have valley values before sunrise and peak values in the afternoon. The diurnal variations in soil temperature are characterized by a cosine function. With the deepening of the soil layer, the time of valley and peak lag and the amplitude of the variation in the soil temperature decrease. There is almost no diurnal variation in soil temperature at 40 cm depth or the soil heat flux at 30 cm depth. The heat fluxes at depths of 7.5 cm and 15 cm show an “S” pattern variation, with a peak at 17:30. The net radiation of the canopy surface shows a bell-shaped variation, with a peak at 12:30. The averaged soil thermal conductivities are 2.18 W·m−1·K−1, 1.22 W·m−1·K−1, and 1.26 W·m−1·K−1 for 5 ~ 10 cm, 10 ~ 20 cm, and 20 ~ 40 cm depths, respectively.

ASSESSMENT OF RADIO TELECOMMUNICATION COVERAGE SIGNAL USING GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS

With the advancement in Information and Communications Technology (ICT), the importance of telecommunication sectors is irrefutable. Rapid growth in this sector requires a good network coverage so the application of the technology is accessible for all purpose from everywhere. In this study, the radio telecommunication coverage signal in Kg. Gong Badak, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) and Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UNISZA) have analysed to estimate the frequency (MHz) level using different interpolation techniques (IDW, Natural Neighbor, and Kriging) to select the best method. Then, the relationship between signal strength level (amplitude) and Land Use Land Cover (LULC) data was identified. Several statistical approaches such as Linear Regression Model and Rank Spearman Correlation Coefficient were implemented in this study. From the findings, we found that the Kriging method is the best technique to be applied for network coverage assessment. We also found that the relationship between signal strength (amplitude) and LULC in Kg. Gong Badak exists either in environmental aspects or physical structures. Kg.Tok Jembal, UMT, Kg. Pak Tuyu and Kg. Jati show a strong positive linear relationship (p-value of < 1%) between signal strength received and a 100-meter interval for 1 kilometer from the base station tower (BST). This indicates that the distance from the BST determines the signal strength. This study can be beneficial for the government and the players in the telecommunication industry to monitor the network coverage in Malaysia to provide a better service.

Restoration of Wind Speed in Qinzhou, Guangxi during Typhoon Rammasun

In 2014, Typhoon Rammasun invaded Qinzhou, Guangxi, causing damage to the wind tower sensor at 80 m in Qinzhou. In order to restore the wind speed at 80 m at that time, this paper was based on the hourly average wind speed data of the wind tower and meteorological station from 2017–2019, and constructed the wind speed related model of Meteorological Station and the wind measuring tower in Qinzhou, Moreover, this paper Based on the hourly average wind speed data of Qinzhou Meteorological Station in 2014, Restored the hourly average wind speed of the anemometer tower during Rammasun landfalled. The results showed it is significant correlation that the hourly mean wind speed of the wind tower at 80 m and the hourly mean wind speed of meteorological station at 100 m (R2 = 0.9632), and speed of the wind measuring tower and speed of meteorological station constitutes an equation, This equation is Y = 0.7834X. The hourly average wind speed of the wind tower at 80 m during the 2014 Rammasun Landing was restored using this model. See the results in Schedule 4.

Identification of Potential Methane Source Regions in Europe Using δ13CCH4 Measurements and Trajectory Modeling

AbstractThe methane emissions from the Hungarian Pannonian Basin are not well qualified, due to a lack of measurements of CH4 mole fraction and δ13CCH4 in the air. This study reports methane measurements in air samples from Hungary, placing them in the context of regional and global background data, to investigate the inputs to the methane burden in Central Europe. CH4 mole fraction and δ13CCH4 from the Hungarian tall tower station, Hegyhátsál, and additional data from Mace Head (Ireland) and Zeppelin (Svalbard) are used with back trajectory modeling to identify central European source areas and their seasonal variation between the summer vegetation and winter heating periods. Methane measurements in air masses sampled in the European interior, have significantly higher maxima and seasonal amplitudes than at the Mace Head and Zeppelin European background sites. The mean CH4 mole fraction value is about 80 ppb higher than the comparable marine background, and values above 2,000 ppb were frequently observed between February 2013 and December 2015. The mean δ13CCH4 value −47.5 ± 0.3‰ (2σ) was comparable to values at all three monitoring sites, but specific pollution events were detected at Hegyhátsál. Concentration weighted trajectory modeling, meteorological parameters, stable carbon isotopic composition (δ13CCH4), and Miller‐Tans analysis show that the main factors influencing CH4 at the Hegyhátsál, apart from diurnal and seasonal changes in the planetary boundary layer, are emissions from residential heating and industrial CH4 emissions during the winter.

From squat to cottage: materiality, informal ownership, and the politics of unspotted homes

‘Homeless’ people are usually considered as citizens without property. The absence of ownership, especially in terms of housing, co-creates the very idea of homelessness in current societies. Despite this fact, ‘homeless’ citizens negotiate and experience their property, things, or the shelter in which they dwell. This paper sheds light on how this property is negotiated and experienced and how it influences home-making. It does so by drawing on long-term ethnographic research in the city of Pilsen, a second-order city in Czechia. Based on the intra-urban comparison of informal dwelling in two abandoned buildings – a former railway station tower and an allotment cottage – the paper conceptualize the unspotted home and argues that it arises from the assemblage of socio-materiality, meanings, and various dimensions of politics, where the politics of home-ownership has an important position. While informal ownership here is related to power asymmetry within home-making, paradoxically, it also brings about more complex informal citizenship and the potential for political action.

Strengthening using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP).

Control strategy of molten salt solar power tower plant function as peak load regulation in grid

Due to its inherent intermittency and fluctuation, renewable energy represented by solar energy is not friendly to the power distribution network and connect to the grid. The molten salt solar power tower station equipped with thermal energy storage can effectively compensate for the instability and periodic fluctuation of solar energy, and a reasonable operation control strategy is essential for its peak-regulating operation mode. Based on the law of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum, the dynamic model of a 50 MW solar thermal power system is established. The traditional PID control algorithm is applied to the temperature control of the receiver and the water level control of the power cycle system. Under the disturbance of different environmental factors, including random disturbance of solar direct normal irradiation, step disturbance of molten salt temperature, flow rate, and feedwater temperature disturbance experiments were carried out to obtain the dynamic response curves under different operating conditions. The thermal inertia, tangential thermal stress, and control effect of the receiver are analyzed. The meteorological data on the Spring Equinox is used for the validation of the temperature control of the receiver. The results show that the temperature control strategy of the receiver and the water level of the power cycle system has good robustness. By temperature control, the outlet temperature of molten salt in the receiver can be stabilized at the calibration value in 138 s for a 400 W/m2 DNI fluctuation in 5 s, which reduces the thermal stress caused by large changes in the receiver. By water level control, the evaporator water level can be stabilized at zero water level in 108 s for 5% working load variation, which ensures the safe operation of the steam generation system.
