Renewable Energies in Scotland and Energy Storage Possibilities: Building a Theoretical Black Box Model in a Closed Hybrid Energy System
Wien, 2021Co-Authors: Abhari, Maria-salua GasanAbstract:Arbeit an der Bibliothek noch nicht eingelangt - Daten nicht geprüftAbweichender Titel nach Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersRecent years have seen the rise of renewable energy and the use of alternative energy resources. This comes as the solution to the use of fossil fuels – a finite resource with immense adverse effects on the environment. The global effort for climate change mitigation needs immediate action and genuine commitment, if it is to succeed, and hence, the share of renewables into the energy mix should be continuously increased. Scotland is a northern country, part of the UK, which has built itself a reputation of an innovative nation with strong ambition and desire to develop and grow their renewables’ potential. The country has some of the world’s most ambitious targets and an electricity demand almost completely met by renewables. Innovative projects in the fields of low-carbon technologies and energy storage are developed across the entire country, with hydrogen being one of the main focuses of R&D. Energy storage is not a new concept and yet, in the context of renewables it acquires a new meaning with its capacity to bridge the gap between the intermittent nature of most renewable sources and the varying consumers’ demand. Adopting a multi-layered approach, both social sciences and technical analysis of the topic are presented and build up the argument that innovative and creative thinking are needed for the successful implementation of renewables into the energy grid. A case study based on a closed System Black Box model explores to possibility for developing a hybrid energy System, comprised of on- and offshore wind, tidal power, and hydrogen, in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. The technological advancements are present, it is only a matter of configuring them in such way that they maximise the efficiency and accelerate the energy transition. And for that, it is only needed to think outside the Box.9

real time in situ sensing of multiple water quality related parameters using micro electrode array mea fabricated by inkjet printing technology ipt
Sensors and Actuators B-chemical, 2016Co-Authors: Qiuche Dong, Unah Otieno, Yucheng Liu, Isaiah Williams, Dingyi Cai, Yu LeiAbstract:Abstract Water and wastewater treatment processes has been monitored using expensive yet inefficient “single-point” probes that can only measure single parameter at single point without obtaining a complete picture of physicochemical or biochemical status. The study targeted at this crucial challenge by developing novel micro-electrode array (MEA) sensors using ink-jet printing technology (IPT). Multiple mm-sized electrodes were printed on a flexible film for simultaneous monitoring of multiple parameters at high temporal and spatial resolution. The calibration of four types of MEA sensors (temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH) in water solution showed high coefficient of determination (R 2 > 0.99) between the MEA readings and the parameter targeted. The shock tests demonstrated high accuracy of MEA sensors and rapid response with a reading frequency of 0.1 s, which captured the shock impacts in more details than commercial probes. Furthermore, patterning multiple types of MEA sensors on a single film enables the auto-correction between the parameters targeted and reduces the measurement errors. MEA surface property observed during 4-week immersion into wastewater and waste sludge revealed the intact structure and high mechanic stability. The study clearly demonstrated the unbeatable advantages of MEAs over existing “single-point” probes: compact sensor configuration, multiple-parameter monitoring in a single measurement, easy fabrication and ultra-low cost ($0.2/sensor), which will decode the System “Black Box”, provide complete dataset for switch control strategy, and enhance the treatment performance at the lowest capital and operational cost.

research on the technology transfer efficiency evaluation in industry university research institution collaborative innovation and its affecting factors based on the two stage dea model
Advances in intelligent systems and computing, 2017Co-Authors: Yiju CheAbstract:The traditional technical efficiency measurement regards the technology transfer System as a “Black Box” and doesn’t penetrate the internal operation mechanism of the System. This paper opens the technology transfer System “Black Box” of industry-university-research institution (IUR) collaborative innovation, researches the internal structure of the System, and deconstructs the System into two stages: technology innovation stage and industrial value creation stage. On this basis, this paper calculates the technology transfer efficiency based on the two-stage DEA model. The result shows that the overall technology transfer efficiency in IUR collaborative innovation is low, and the bottlenecks for improving the technology transfer efficiency are different for different provinces. Through analyzing the internal and external factors of the System, this paper finds that the good cooperative relationship between enterprises and scientific research institutions can improve the efficiency of technology transfer. Refer to environmental factors, the government supports, the market competition and the demand for new products have positive impact on the efficiency of technology transfer.
