EV uses single battery as power source, because of itslow capacity of high current charging and discharging,it is difficult to meet the requirements of EV underspecial conditions when the power changesdrastically. Supercapacitors are used as a supplementto power source, which can quickly respond to largecurrent demand in a short time and make up for theenergy supply of a single battery. But its energydensity is far less than that of batteries, and it can notprovide energy for a long time. In order to meet thepower and energy requirements of EV, a HESScomposed of supercapacitors with fast responsecharacteristics, long cycle life and lithium-ionbatteries with large capacity energy storagecharacteristics is adopted as the power source of EV.
This project surrounds the HESS to improve the safetyand efficiency of EV charging and discharge system,prolong the driving range and battery life, focus onthe energy management strategy of the HESS and theefficient and fast charging method of the lithium-ionbattery. The service life of the lithium-ion battery isprolonged, the running mileage is increased, and theoperation cost is reduced.
The equivalent model of lithium-ion batteries andsupercapacitors and its degradation model areimproved. The relationship between the accuracy ofthe model and the accuracy of HESS SOC estimationand the system calculation burden is analyzed. Theoptimized algorithm of HESS SOC estimation isproposed. A fast charging method for lithium-ionbatteries based on constant polarization and ahierarchical active equalization strategy based onlarge-capacity battery pack and super-capacitor packare proposed. The effect of fast charging on thepolarization of HESS is analyzed. The method ofdetermining the energy and power requirements ofEV under different working conditions is studied. Byconstructing a multi-objective function that satisfiesthe energy and power requirements, the outputcoefficients of each energy storage unit are obtained,and an optimized HESS hierarchical energycoordination management strategy for lithium-ionbatteries and supercapacitors is proposed.

Moreover, the time required for charging is muchbetter than that of CC-CV (0.3C). The energymanagement strategy of the HESS proposed by theproject extends the battery life by about 30%compared with the single lithium-ion battery powersupply system. The SOC estimation algorithm of HESScan make the SOC estimation error of HESS less than5%. With the charging method proposed by us, thecharging time is shortened by about 17%.

Photovoltaic agriculture and LED lighting for urban agriculture
Professor Wen LiuYangtze River Scholars Distinguished ProfessorUniversity of Science and Technology of China (USTC) Hefei City, China Email: [email protected]: 86-13365512277
www.wsset.org
The university of Science & Technology China (USTC) is one ofthe most famous universities in China and enjoys outstandingreputation in the world. The university actively participates ininternational cooperation. The Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) has jointly established the advanced technologyresearch institute of University of Science & TechnologyChina (IAT) in 2012 and Hefei to better promote theintegration of education, scientific research and industry.USTC-IAT focuses on technological innovation and technologytransfer in the IT industry, as well as microelectronics,healthcare, new energy, new materials and quantuminformation. In recent years, IAT has made remarkableachievements in the research and development ofphotovoltaic agriculture system.
The photovoltaic (PV) industry has dramatically grown inrecent years fuelled by a critical increase in demand for newenergy requirements and the drastic improvement ofsemiconductor technology delivering new and highly efficientsolar cells. China became one the leading country in the PVproducts manufacturing in the world and it has beenrecognized as an important strategic emerging industrydirection in China’s development and NPI activities. The landarea which is used for solar farms must be abandoned fromany agricultural use. Furthermore, any land used for thispurpose tends to be further converted into deserts. Climatechange and water shortages are important challenges for thefuture of agriculture, with substantial consequences for foodsecurity and environmental sustainability.
Tackling these issues lead to the invention of a noveltechnology combining agriculture and photovoltaic in a way,which allow simultaneous use of one and the same land areafor agriculture and solar driven power generation. Wepresent and discuss the recent progress of a technologywhich had been conceptually introduced in 2015 and realizedin demonstration systems in Anhui and Hubei province sincethen. It is the combination of agriculture photovoltaic andconcentration photovoltaic (APV-CPV). The technique notonly solves the contradiction between either using land forplant growth or for solar energy generation but also helpsimproving the quality of the crops grown underneath theAPV-CPV system.
Volume 10, Issue 3, October 2018
This hybrid application of CPV with another technology helpsto gain more traction for CPV systems to be installed on farmland where the DNI values are lower, because the focus is notonly on solar driven power generation but also onmaintaining the land area for agricultural usage. The APV-CPVsystem is in particularly predesignated for remote areaswhere agriculture is already used but lacks power supply.The principle layout of the presented APV-CPV system followsdesign concepts of concentration photovoltaic and thermal(CPVT). A parabolic glass panel is collecting the sun light andreflects it on solar cells located in the range of its parabolicfocal point. The difference is, that a bended glass panel isused which is covered with a special dichroitic polymer filmallowing to transmit red and blue light, which are theessential wavelength for plant growth.
On both sides of the centre metal strip in the focal point areaof the parabolic panel are solar cells. The top (PV) solar cellscollect solar energy directly, the bottom solar cells via CPV.The theoretical maximum efficiency of the solar cells(SunPower) is 20%. The efficiency of the top VP solar cells isP1 (W) / sunlight W reaching the area of top solar cells,experimentally we find 18%. The efficiency of bottom (CPV)solar cells is P2 (W) / “concentrated” sunlight W reaching thebottom solar cell area and we find 9.9% efficiency.
Considering just 48% reflection by the parabolic panel, wehave 16.3% efficiency. The efficiency of the total APV-CPVsystem is as follows: The combined power P(W) generated bythe top VP solar cells and the bottom CPV solar cells /reflected sunlight W reaching the effective area of thereflective panel of 0.84 sqm: Efficiency = P1 (W) + P2 (W) /reflected sunlight W (W/0.84spm), reflecting the efficiencydata above.
The APV-CPV project was launched in year 2015 and its firstprototype was setup in 2016. It was a small-scaledemonstration unit with a total of 12 sqm reflective panelarea [3]. In a follow up study, a mid-size unit with a total of 16sqm was realized in 2017 in the province of Hubei andcurrently in 2018 a large-scale project in the city ofFuyang/Anhui province [4]. It has a total of 128 sqm. Inplanning is a demonstration unit with 256 sqm in the city ofSouzhou which is also in the province of Anhui.

www.wsset.org
In response to the current high energy consumption ofcarbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, atheoretical tool for energy analysis of CCS technology:thermodynamic carbon pump, is first proposed by ShuaiDeng in SET 2015 [1]. Such theoretical works wouldprovide a more clear analysis framework for energy-efficient design of various CO2 capture technologies,with an in-depth understanding on thermodynamicconstraints on the conversion process from heat/workto generalized chemical energy.
In order to verify such theoretical investigation, a seriesof experimental work, which covers the screening andpreparation of adsorbents, research on component andsystem, finally to prototype and demonstration systemhave been carried out. The details, as shown in figure 1,are presented below:
Volume 10, Issue 3, October 2018
2015-2016: With the financial support fromChina National Natural Science Funds underGrant No. 51506149, a backboard-typeadsorption system is established for lab-scaletesting. The system with two small-scaleadsorption chambers is developed for feasibilitystudy and energy-efficient analysis.
2016-2017: With the financial support fromTianjin Talent Development Special SupportProgram for High-level Innovation andEntrepreneurship Team, an experimental systemon CO2 adsorption is developed which is a scale-up version to the backboard one. Because ofapplication of larger adsorption chamber, a CFDstudy on heat and mass transfer is conducted forinterface technology research between CO2adsorption and utilization of solar thermalenergy.
2017-2018: With the financial support fromBeiyang young scholar program of TianjinUniversity, a small-scale prototype is developedwith the cooperation from commercial partners.The prototype is developed for the integrationwith low- and medium- temperature heatsource, such as solar thermal energy, and still onthe testing stage. Due to the limiteddevelopment experiences on such kind ofprototype, the test data shows an unsatisfiedperformance at the current stage. A new versionprototype with larger capacity and lessons welearned from the former one is being designedwith the granted financial support from ChinaNational Natural Science Funds under Grant No.51876134.
Figure 1: Research trace in Tianjin University for prototype development: (a) adsorbent development; (b) backboard-type experimental system; (c) CO2 adsorption
experimental system; (d) small-scale prototype.
2014-2015: With the financial support from KeyProgram of Science and Technology of Tianjin Cityof China under Grant No.11ZCZDGX19800, theamine-based solid sorbent is developed throughthe physical dipping method, which is suitable forregeneration by low-grade thermal energy.
With above-mentioned efforts, the solar energy ishoping could be considered as a potential driven energysource to CO2 capture, e.g., CO2 adsorption. Thus, theenergy-saving could be achieved, as the heat requiredfor adsorbents regeneration can be obtained from low-temperature solar thermal energy through affordablesolar collector. Such Integrated CO2 Adsorption withRenewable Energy (ICARE) solution could be applied as areference guideline to the emerging field of solar plusCCS.

HEGOS: Innovative Dual Source System for Energetics Harvesting in Smart Buildings
M. Cannistraro, E. Mainardi, M. BottarelliTeknehub, Architectural Department, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italia.
www.wsset.org
In recent years the development of technologiesbased on energy harvesting, which is the process ofcapturing and storing energy from different sources,is becoming increasingly popular.
HEGOS project studied a new generation of airconditioning systems that are based on reversibleheat pumps operating with a multi-source energyharvesting approach. The project is focused on newheat pumps for space heating and cooling able toexploit different thermal sources/sinks, and to usethe ground as thermal energy storage system. Thisstudy has been supported by the European POR-FESR2014-2020 fund of Emilia-Romagna region, inpartnership with University of Parma, University ofBologna, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia,University of Ferrara, with cooperation of thecompanies Galletti Spa, Geonet Srl, and CNAInnovazione.
A novel heat pump and a kit to convert residentialsystems already installed have been developed andtested. A flat-panel (FP) developed by University ofFerrara (European Patent pending n° EP11177528.4)has been used as ground heat exchanger. The dual-source kit (DSK), operating at the TekneHub (alaboratory belonging to the University of Ferrara) isable to switch between air and ground according tooperating rules for the air-conditioning system. Theprototype is composed by a common air-to-air heatpump (2.5 kW) whose refrigerant circuit has beenmodified for coupling through a plate heat exchangerwith a geothermal closed loop, laid horizontally andedgeways into a shallow trench. The Flat-Panelsolution has been chosen as ground heat exchanger(GHE), due to its higher performance in comparisonwith similar GHEs.
Volume 10, Issue 3, October 2018
The closed loop can be reduced by means of solenoidvalves to over/underload the GHE system accordingto the air conditioning energy load. The switchingbetween air and ground is then automatized with acontrol unit which manages the valves according torules based on air and ground temperature, airhumidity and frosting conditions at the evaporator.The prototype is fully monitored in terms oftemperatures, pressures, flow rate and electricitysupply, both at the refrigerant circuit and the closedloop.
Yearly dynamic simulations have been carried out bythe University of Bologna, by means of a commercialsoftware TRNSYS 17, coupling the DSHP (Dual SourceHeat Pump) to a geothermal loop based on boreholeheat exchangers (BHEs) using a detached residentialbuilding as heating and cooling load.
The performance of the DSHP is taken in comparisonwith the standard air-source solution, with evidenceof the better behavior, even for a closed loopdrastically partialized. The proposed system allowsmore favorable working conditions, may reduce thelength of the GHE and BHEs and therefore can offeran efficient and cost effective solution respect toother widespread but more expensive systems. Inaddition, this Dual Source System can also preventthermal drifting in ground and frosting phenomenaon air heat exchanger by turning on a so called mixmode, reducing energy consumption and thermaldiscomfort caused by the temperature drop insidethe room.

Project: Study of Thermochemical Energy Storage Applied in Tibet China
Professor Shuli Liu is Professor in Low Carbon Technology, Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing, Coventry University, Coventry CV1 2HF, United Kingdom.

Tibet, at the southwest border of China, stands out
for abundant solar energy resource. It is the region
taking up the most solar energy radiation in China,
sharing more than 60% of total solar energy with
annual solar radiation at 7000-8000 MJ/m2. The
annual hours of average sunlight ranges between
1600 and 3400 hours, with 275-330 days having over
6 hours of sunshine. Utilizing solar energy is of
significance in providing a sustainable approach to
meet the increasing space heating demand in Tibet.
Considering outdoor air temperature, it fluctuates
greatly between day and night, with diurnal
temperature difference recorded reaching up to 17
°C. This leads to the necessity of storing thermal
energy in sunny days and discharging in cold nights.
Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) has been
gaining research attention due to the principle of
reversible reactions. For an open system, its
operating performance depends on solar radiation,
air temperature, humidity and air pressure.
An open TCES system with ability in short-term
energy storage has been targeted in this project. As a
result, zeolites stand out due to its good cycling
stability, high water uptake capacity and suitable
adsorption temperature for domestic heating. A
schematic diagram of the proposed system is shown
in Figure 1. It is comprised of concentrated solar
power collectors, TCES reactor, heat exchanger,
evaporative humidifier, air to air heat exchangers, fan
and pumps.
Volume 10, Issue 3, October 2018
In winter, the system charges the reactor in the dayand discharge the reactor in the night.
In sunny times the system operates in chargingmode, shown in Figure (a), the concentrated solarcollectors heat its working fluid (CSP flow) byabsorbing solar radiation with the ability in reachingto 200-300 °C. The heated CSP fluid flows across thereactor and heats up the TCES material. While theCSP fluid is being circulated, the airflow is beingdriven from the ambient and blown through thereactor (bypass the evaporative humidifier incharging mode). The airflow takes out moisture fromthe heated material due to water vapor pressuredifference between the airflow and material. Thesystem is charged by heating the material andremoving its adsorbed moistures.
In cold times (such as morning and midnight), whenthe end user requires space heating, the storedenergy can be discharged through rehydrating thematerial. Shown in Figure (b), in discharging, ambientair flows through the evaporative humidifier beforeentering the reactor. The humidifier is used tointroduce moisture to the air stream. The airflowtakes the moisture to the reactor and hydrates thematerial. The released energy from the reactor isextracted by the circulated CSP flow and supplies tothe end user.
In this project, feasibility study of thermochemicalenergy storage applied in Tibet has been conducted.Investigations have been conducted on Tibet climatefeatures, residential heating demand,thermochemical material selection, TCES system aswell as its CO2 and economic evaluations. In the nextstep, the experimental tests and the numericalsimulations will be furtherly studied, mainly target onthe heat and mass transfer mechanisms, as well asthe enhancement approaches.

The ability of many nations to sustain fresh watersupply is strained due to the increased populationgrowth and population density. Over 71% of theearth's surface is covered with water, howeveraround 97.5% of water on the earth surface is sea orbrackish water which contains large amounts of salt.Hence water desalination of sea or brackish waterpresents a sustainable solution to tackle the issue ofincrease in demand for fresh water.
In this article water desalination using humidification-dehumidification process is investigated usingexperimental evaluation. In this process, saline wateris evaporated by thermal energy and the subsequentcondensation of the humid air that is generated(normally at atmospheric pressure) producesfreshwater. Air has the ability to hold large quantitiesof water vapour and vapour carrying capabilityincreases with temperature. To achieve a water-saltseparation, hollow fibre membrane bundles areemployed in a humidification chamber, to humidifyair. The humidified air is then cooled and condensedto obtain distilled water using shell and tube heatexchanger.
Volume 10, Issue 3, October 2018
In the proposed system, sodium chloride solutionwith 3.5% salinity is used to simulate the seawater.Bundles of hollow fibres membrane are implementedusing polypropylene porous fibre with pore size of0.1 × 0.5 µm. The ambient air flows from a fanoutside the fibre bundles in the shell side of thehumidifier, while the hot saline water flow inside thefibre bundles. The surface tension forces betweenthe water and the hydrophobic membrane preventliquid molecules from entering the pores ofmembranes.
Under trans-membrane vapour partial pressuredifferences, water vapour from saline water insidethe fibres can pass through the pores. It is thenabsorbed by the air stream outside the fibres. Thus,heat and mass transfer is achieved between the hotsaline water and the ambient air streams. The airbecomes hotter and humid while the outlet saltywater becomes cooler. The hot humid air now passesthrough the shell and tube heat exchanger(dehumidification unit), and heat transfer with thecool saline water results in cooling of the air and thevapour contained is condensed into distilled andcollected in fresh water tank, where the salty waterbecomes hotter. The salty water is pumped to astainless steel tank where it is further heated usingan immersion heater. The outlet of the stored hotsalty water in the stainless steel tank is the inlet tothe fibre membrane humidification unit.
The aim of the laboratory evaluation is to optimizethe system configuration using different number ofbundles of fibre membranes in the humidificationunit, as well as testing the impact of using differentflow rates for the ambient air and the saline water onthe heat and mass transfer and the produced freshwater.
