“…[1] In this regard, since the early 1990s, biodiesel has been seen by many countries as one of the most favorable choices; [2][3][4] indeed, in spite of unclear ecological and ethical aspects related to its production, [5] a large amount of money has been invested in the biodiesel sector and current figures are predicted to double by 2020. [6,7] Therefore, hand-in-hand with biodiesel growth, coproduced glycerol represents an abundant bio-based building block for the synthesis of a wide range of chemicals and a crucial economic opportunity to valorize the biofuel production chain. Of the various options for glycerol upgrading, the dehydration process to acrolein is one of the most debated in the literature because this aldehyde is an intermediate molecule for the production of important chemicals such as d,l-methionine and acrylic acid.…”

Multielement Crystalline and Pseudocrystalline Oxides as Efficient Catalysts for the Direct Transformation of Glycerol into Acrylic Acid

Glycerol surplus from biodiesel synthesis still represents a major problem in the biofuel production chain. Meanwhile, those in the acrylic acid market are looking for new processes that are able to offer viable alternatives to propylene-based production. Therefore, acrylic acid synthesis from glycerol could be an effective solution to both issues. Among the viable routes, one-pot synthesis theoretically represents the most efficient process, but it is also highly challenging from the catalyst design standpoint. A new class of complex W--Mo--V mixed-oxide catalysts, which are strongly related to the hexagonal tungsten bronze structure, able to directly convert glycerol into acrylic acid with yields of up to 51 % are reported.

“…1 All available energy sources will need to be used to meet this increase in energy demand. [2][3][4] Therefore, the use of renewable energy sources especially solar and wind energy will be a big increase which will be equal to 400%, and the share at the global electricity supply will be tripled by 2040 and this will decrease CO 2 emission by 30%. 1 The buildings are considered to be the most important working area in policies and programs for energy efficiency and climate change due to the fact that they are the longest lasting and important energy-consuming products in the economy sector and cover a wide range of products and services.…”

“…6 Therefore, in the future, we will see that the energy needs of buildings are quite widely corresponded by the hybrid power system. 3,5,6 Various studies have been carried out on the integration and management of renewable energy system at on-grid and off-grid level. [7][8][9] In particular, the integration of renewable energy sources into smart buildings, smart sites and smart home concepts have gained importance; the studies examining the performance of integration and offering different energy management systems to increase performance have also gained importance.…”

The share of electricity generation based on clean, inexhaustible and continuous energy sources, such as solar and wind, in total energy production, is rising day by day due to its significant advantages such as having the less negative impact on global climate and environmental pollution and not requiring fuel for energy production. It is reported that commercial and residential buildings correspond to about 20.1% of the world energy consumption, so it is necessary to provide energy needs of buildings with hybrid renewable energy systems. When using non-continuous energy sources such as solar panel and wind turbines, it is important to ensure ensuring a stable and quality power flow to the building while the power demands of building show very sharp variability. This work presents a voltage control system using fractional-order operators in the smart residential building-integrated hybrid renewable power plant (solar + wind). In this research article, fractional-order proportional–integral/proportional–integral–derivative controllers are proposed on a synchronous frame for a pulse-width modulation based three-phase voltage source inverter in residential building-integrated solar panel and wind turbines system (building-integrated photovoltaic/wind turbine system) in order to improve the quality of injected voltage to building. When comparing the effect of closed-loop voltage control system with integer order controllers (proportional–integral and proportional–integral–derivative) on the power quality at the building distribution by analyzing the simulation results for proposed case study, use of fractional-order voltage controllers for nonlinear system such as building integrated with hybrid renewable sources is more suitable than using integer order voltage controllers.

“…Other representations of energy efficiency in detailed partial equilibrium power market models are sparse and limited to cost-minimizing models [56]. 9 Like us, Lind et al [48] model energy efficiency as an investment option with different cost classes and respective potentials. 10 EPRI [18] use the US-REGEN model (see [7]) and integrate, similar to our model, energy efficiency as a separate technology in the market-clearing condition.…”

Power markets in transition: Decarbonization, energy efficiency, and short-term demand response

Energy efficiency and short-term demand response are key issues in the decarbonization of power markets. However, their interaction and combined impact on market prices as well as on the supply side, is yet to be understood. We develop a framework to implement investments in energy efficiency and short-term demand response in detailed partial equilibrium power market models. We quantify our results using the EU-REGEN model for the European power market and find that energy efficiency contributes, under a 80% emission reduction target, only 11% of carbon emission reductions. Intermittent renewable energies such as wind and solar power account for the major share of 53%. However, both energy efficiency and short-term demand response have their merits in reducing marginal abatement costs and additionally exhibit an subadditive effect, at least under a 80% climate policy.JEL code: C61, L94, Q41, Q51
