The accurate prediction of wellbore temperature and pressure is important for safe drilling. However, annulus temperature and pressure changes are more complicated due to phase transition. To study this problem, a prediction model of temperature and pressure in deep water riserless drilling is established by considering hydrate cuttings decomposition, interphase mass transfer, and phase transition heat. Based on this model, the effects of hydrate cuttings decomposition on the temperature and pressure of drilling in a hydrate reservoir are explored. The results show that the influence of hydrate cuttings decomposition increases significantly with an increase in the inlet temperature. The influence of hydrate cuttings decomposition on temperature and pressure decreases with an increase in displacement. A small range in the variation of density and penetration rates has little impact on the annulus pressure but mainly affects the temperature. The influence of hydrate cuttings decomposition increases with an increase in the penetration rate. In normal drilling conditions, hydrate cuttings decomposition has little impact on annulus temperature and pressure, but under the conditions of a high inlet temperature, high hydrate saturation, low displacement, and high penetration rate, it is necessary to consider the impact of hydrate cuttings decomposition. This study can provide reference for the prediction of temperature and pressure in deep water hydrate reservoir riserless drilling. Full article

Recently, regulations on emissions produced by vessels from international maritime organizations, along with the instability of fuel prices, have encouraged researchers to explore fuels and technology that are cleaner than heavy fuel oil and diesel engines. In this study, we employed the TERA method to evaluate the feasibility of using gas turbine engines with cleaner fuels as a replacement for diesel engines as a propulsion system for RORO ships. A sensitivity evaluation and risk assessment were also conducted to investigate the impact of applied emission taxes on the economic results. The findings indicated that the diesel engine emitted higher nitrogen oxide emissions than the gas turbine fuelled by natural gas and hydrogen. The gas turbine with hydrogen had zero carbon dioxide emissions, making it a sustainable energy production option. The economic aspects were evaluated based on an international route, and they revealed that economic profitability significantly depended on fuel costs and consumption. The diesel engine fuelled by marine diesel oil and the gas turbine fuelled by natural gas were economically attractive, whereas the gas turbine fuelled by hydrogen was less viable due to its high operating cost. However, in a scenario where a carbon dioxide tax was introduced, the gas turbine fuelled by hydrogen showed high potential as a low-risk investment compared to the other technologies. In summary, this study demonstrated the usefulness of the TERA method in the maritime sector for selecting and comparing various propulsion systems. Full article

With the development of EVs (Electric Vehicles) and the rapidly developing policies on low carbon and environmental protection, electric power systems and natural gas systems become increasingly larger. Under these circumstances, the V2G (Vehicle-to-grid) and the coordinated operation of an integrated electricity–gas distribution system (IEGDS), considering CO2 emissions, can play a part together in the process of energy conservation. Firstly, the V2G model is discussed; this paper presents the cost differences between out-of-order and order for the car. Secondly, the IEGDS model presents coupling constraints of gas turbines and power-to-gas. Lastly, carbon emission is considered in this paper; a carbon capture plant (CCP) captures the CO2 burning by fossil fuel in the power generation process and stores it in a carbon storage tank. This paper also considers trading with the carbon market via a carbon storage warehouse. With the cooperation of various components, a comprehensive model considers the use of V2G to store power in the IEGDS system, with consideration of the carbon trade. Numerical experiments validate the effectiveness of the combination between V2G and IEGDS, considering carbon emissions and carbon trading. Full article

Under the background that the high penetration of renewable energy generation, which mainly consists of wind power, will have a significant impact on electric power systems due to the volatility and uncertainty of renewable energy, energy systems with gas–electric coupling and interconnections have been widely studied to accommodate renewable energy generation. This paper proposes a two-stage chance-constrained coordinated operation model of an integrated gas–electric system and fully considers the uncertainty and high penetration of wind power. The Taylor series expansion method is used to linearize the Weymouth gas flow equation of a natural gas system and finally obtains a mixed integer linear programming model. Case studies show the effectiveness of the integrated energy system for peak shaving, valley filling, and promoting wind power accommodation. The proposed model ensures the consumption of wind power generation and also reduces the operation cost by about 0.7%. Full article

As many new devices and factors, such as renewable energy sources, energy storage (ESs), electric vehicles (EVs), and demand response (DR), flood into the distribution network, the characteristics of the distribution network are becoming complicated and diversified. In this study, a two-layer collaborative optimized operation model for the multi-character distribution network considering multiple uncertain factors is proposed to achieve optimal dispatching of ES and EV and obtain the optimal grid structure of the distribution network. Based on basic device models of distribution network, the upper layer distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) model is established and solved by the particle swarm optimization (PSO) based on the Pareto optimality and the Prim algorithm. Then, the lower layer optimal dispatching model of ES and EV is established and solved by the binary PSO. The upper layer model and the lower layer model are integrated to form the collaborative optimized operation model for the multi-character distribution network and solved by iterating the upper and lower layers continuously. A case study is conducted on the IEEE 33-bus system. The simulation results show that the total network loss and the voltage deviation are decreased by 15.66% and 15.52%, respectively, after optimal dispatching of ES and EV. The total network loss and the voltage deviation are decreased by 28.39% and 44.46%, respectively, after the DNR with distributed generation (DG) and EV loads with little impact on the average reliability of the power supply. The total network loss and the voltage deviation are decreased by 26.54% and 27.04%, respectively, after the collaborative optimized operation of the multi-character distribution network. The collaborative optimized operation of the distribution network can effectively reduce the total cost by 114.45%, which makes the system change from paying to gaining. Full article

A natural gas pipeline system (NGPS), as a crucial energy transportation network, exhibits intricate systemic characteristics. Both uncertain disturbances and complex characteristics result in higher requirement of supply safety. The investigation into NGPS resilience addresses the constraints of pipeline integrity and reliability, centering around the vulnerability, robustness, and recovery of an NGPS. Based on a literature review and practical engineering insights, the generalized concept of NGPS resilience is elucidated. The research methodologies of NGPS resilience are classified into three types: indicator construction method, process analysis method, and complex networks method. The practical applications of NGPS resilience research are analyzed, which are based on NGPS operation safety, information safety, and market safety. The ongoing applications and detailed measures are also concluded, which can guide the researchers and engineers from NGPS resilience. Full article
