Chang, Zheng in OpenAIREIn this paper, we consider both energy efficiency and security issues in a wireless power transfer (WPT) enabled relay system. In the considered system, the multiple-antenna decode-and-forward relay node (RN) has both information decoding and wireless power recycling capabilities, and thus can be empowered by WPT and assist the transmission from the multiple-antenna base station (BS) to the mobile terminals (MTs). In addition, we consider that there is an eavesdropper between the BS and the RNs, which tries to overhear the information sent to the MTs. We formulate a joint optimization problem with the objective to optimize energy efficiency of the presented system by considering WPT time allocation, power allocation, and secrecy data rate. In particular, we propose to select RNs based on different assigned priorities so that the physical layer security of information transmission can be guaranteed. Moreover, we take into consideration of the cases that the RNs adopt the half- and full-duplex protocols, and study the corresponding system performance analytically. The proposed schemes are evaluated by extensive simulations and it is demonstrated that the proposed resource allocation schemes can obtain energy efficiency maximization, and have superior performance over other schemes.

A functioning circular economy will also have minimal waste generated which is sync with the idea of zero-waste. How all these aspects really work together is the focal point of this Master’s thesis where the aim is to see how the three factors of waste-to-energy, the circular economy and a zero-waste goal work together in accomplishing their respective objectives and to access their performance and potential in Finland using other Nordic countries as benchmarks. A qualitative research method of four semi-structured interviews with experts in Finland involved in various circular economy was supported by secondary sourced data on the other Nordic countries and if found that WtE has additional benefits to Nordics compared to other countries due to district heating utilization of excess steam that provides heat during the long winter months so henceforth offers higher energy efficiency. The state of the circular economy in Finland was harder to ascertain with the difficulty in showing concrete examples of a CE due to misunderstanding of the relatively new theoretical term and the many related terms. The overall conclusion for Finland was that a zero-waste goal was not the correct aim to have as this could still mean high incineration, instead Finland should look at the exemplarily example of Denmark which aims to be incineration free in the future. There would still be a role for WtE, only to a less extent, dealing with hazardous and residual waste. The role of recycling will grow in line with a true CE model which means that energy sourced from WtE will decline, As a result Finland should plan accordingly and invest less in WtE infrastructure and more in other alternative energy sources.

Eveliina Mäkelä in OpenAIREAbstractBio‐based chemicals can be produced from furfural through hydrotreatment. In this study, 2‐methylfuran (MF), a potential biofuel component, was produced with Pt, Ru, and Ni catalysts supported on wood‐based activated carbons. The catalytic hydrotreatment experiments were conducted in a batch reactor at 210–240 °C with 2‐propanol as solvent and 40 bar H2 pressure. Two types of activated carbon supports were prepared by carbonization and activation of lignocellulosic biomass (forest‐residue‐based birch and spruce from Finland). Both types of activated carbons were suitable as catalyst supports, giving up to 100 % furfural conversions. The most important factors affecting the MF yield were the metal dispersion and particle size as well as reaction temperature. The highest observed MF yields were achieved with the noble metal catalysts with the highest dispersions at 240 °C after 120 min reaction time: 3 wt % Pt on spruce (MF yield of 50 %) and 3 wt % Ru on birch (MF yield of 49 %). Nickel catalysts were less active most likely owing to lower dispersions and incomplete metal reduction. Interesting results were obtained also with varying the metal loadings: the lower Pt loading (1.5 wt %) achieved almost the same MF yield as the 3 wt % catalysts, which can enable the production of MF with high yields and reduced catalyst costs. Based on this study, biomass‐based renewable activated carbons can be used as catalyst supports in furfural hydrotreatment with high conversions.

Then the ratios of the yields (fuel-N → HCN)/(fuel-N → NH3) in a nearly inert atmosphere at 800ºC in an entrained flow reactor was measured and finally the ratio (fuel-N → N2O)/(fuel-N → NO) in an oxidizing atmosphere at 800ºC The fuels studied were coal, brown coal, S- and C-type peat, fir bark, birch bark and pine bark, all milled to a particle size <63μm. The ratios of O/N in the fuel, measured by elemental analysis, ranged from 7 to 150. Nitrogen functionality (mass percent of the total nitrogen content) was determined by XPS. the (fuel-N → NCN)/(fuel-N → NH3) conversion ratio in the absence of O2, and also the (fuel-N → N2O)/(fuel-N → NO) conversion ratio with O2 present, decreased with increasing ratio of fuel-O/fuel-N, but neither ratio decreased regularly with the increasing ratio of pyrrolic to pyridinic nitrogen in the fuel. Thus, fuel-oxygen plays a more important role than nitrogen functionality in the chemistry of nitrogen oxide formation. The strong effect of (fuel-O/fuel-N) ratio on the (fuel-N → HCN)/(fuel-N → NH3) ratio may be due to the reaction between OH radicals and HCN to form NH3 near the fuel particle. The importance of this reaction is considered. Charring the fuel sample before combustion led to a sharp drop in the conversion of fuel-N to N2O compared with the virgin fuels. Thus, heterogeneous combustion reactions produced much less N2O than homogeneous combustion reactions.

Guo, Xijuan in OpenAIREThe unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is prominent in its flexibility and low cost, is considered to be fully utilized in the future wireless communication system to provide flexible services and improve connectivities. In this paper, we investigate the resource allocation problem in a wireless powered UAV communication system. In this considered system, The UAV acts as hybrid access point (HAP), which can first perform wireless power transfer in the downlink and charge the Internet of Thing (IoT) user devices (UDs). The UDs can use the harvested energy to deliver the data to the UAV. In the uplink, we explicitly consider short packet communication (SPC) as the transmission feature, which adopts finite block-length codewords and suffers from rate degradation. With the objective to maximize system energy efficiency, we jointly optimize the position and transmit power of the UAV, and transmission time of each UD. To address the formulated non-convex problem, we develop efficient algorithms to find sub-optimal solutions. Extensive simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. peerReviewed

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2016 FinlandAuthors: Asikainen, Mikko;Growing global energy consumption and its consequent hindrance to sus-tainable development poses one of the greatest challenges of today. Impro-vement of the end-use energy efficiency is commonly regarded as one of the most basic and significant countermeasures for curbing the rising energy needs. However, it seems that the progress of end-use energy management is currently hindered due to the complexities involved in the measurement and management of energy efficiency. In essence, the lack of appropriate energy performance metrics constitute a gap between the current organizational needs and scientific literature. Furthermore, the current scientific debate has questioned whether ener-gy efficiency, as a current concept, is able to respond to the extant needs in business management. Thus, there exists a demand for a conceptual change that would enable organizations to simultaneously promote sustainable deve-lopment and reach concrete results from energy management. For this reason, this thesis focuses on the concept of energy performance, which is able to en-compass both operational and strategic dimensions of energy management. In order to address the above-mentioned research gap, this thesis explo-res the barriers that hinder the development of energy performance measu-rement in the context of industrial companies, government entities, wholesale and retail companies and real estate companies. As the barriers and their in-teractions seem to constitute a complex problem situation, the research prob-lem is approached from a systems thinking perspective, which enables the ho-listic examination of the barriers. The chosen approach departs from most previous research, which has typically studied barriers in isolation, neglecting the potential relationships between the barriers. The main achievement of this study is to introduce a model for unders-tanding the interactive nature of the barriers to the development of energy performance measurement. From the perspective of business management, the created model works as a tool for the management of change, as it inc-reases the understanding of the paradoxal problem situation and enables ra-tional discourse to take place. By doing so, the model aims to address the cur-rent needs of organizations in developing specific and quantitatively measu-rable performance indicators for energy. ei tietoa saavutettavuudesta unknown accessibility

The conversion of model-compound-N to HCN and NH3 was determined under inert conditions, and the formation of NO, N2O and NO2 was determined under oxidizing conditions. In inert atmosphere, oxygen-containing functional groups had an important effect on the ratio of HCN to NH3. In particular, OH groups bound directly in the ring structure increased the conversion of nitrogen to NH3. In oxidizing atmosphere, the conversions of model-compound-N to N2O were high, but the substituent groups had no well-defined effect on the ratio of N2O to NO. The formation of NO2 was insignificant.

Tarik, Mohamed in OpenAIREAppropriate waste and resource management are essential for a sustainable circular economy with reduced environmental impact. With critical resources, e-waste may serve as indirect raw material. For example, with NdFeB permanent magnets, Neodymium (Nd) and the co-present Dysprosium (Dy) are critical rare earth elements (REEs). However, there exists no economically viable technology for recycling them from electronic waste (e-waste). Here, a method is presented based on cloud point extraction (CPE). The work involves basic complexation chemistry in a cloud medium with pure REE salts, as well as, with real NdFeB-magnets (nearly 28% REE content by weight) from an old hard disk drive (5.2 g magnet in a 375 g HDD). High extraction efficiency (>95%) was achieved for each REE targeted (Nd, Dy, Praseodymium (Pr)). With the magnet waste, the cloud phase did hardly contain any Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co), or Boron (B), but some Aluminium (Al) and Iron (Fe). Dynamic light scattering results indicated aggregation of ligand-surfactant micelles with the cloud phase. The preconcentrated products can be used for new Nd magnet manufacturing or further enriched using established transition metal removal techniques. Reuse of solvent, low chemical inventory demand, and using non-inflammable, non-volatile organic extractants promise safe large-scale operation, low process costs, and less environmental impact than using hydrometallurgical methods used with urban or primary mining.

Lensu, A. in OpenAIREAbstract Currently, geographic information system (GIS) models are popular for studying location-allocation-related questions concerning bioenergy plants. The aim of this study was to develop a model to investigate optimal locations for two different types of bioenergy plants, for farm and centralized biogas plants, and for wood terminals in rural areas based on minimizing transportation distances. The optimal locations of biogas plants were determined using location optimization tools in R software, and the optimal locations of wood terminals were determined using kernel density tools in ArcGIS. The present case study showed that the utilized GIS tools are useful for bioenergy-related decision-making to identify potential bioenergy areas and to optimize biomass transportation, and help to plan power plant sizing when candidate bioenergy plant locations have not been defined in advance. In the study area, it was possible to find logistically viable locations for 13 farm biogas plants (>100 kW) and for 8 centralized biogas plants (>300 kW) using a 10-km threshold for feedstock supply. In the case of wood terminals, the results identified the most intensive wood reserves near the highest road classes, and two potential locations were determined.

Global trends influence the approaches and mindset for using natural resources and technological capacities. Participatory scenario methods have proven useful in long-term foresight. However, country-level foresight studies often ignore the broader trends affecting international markets and setting frames for economic development. This study envisions which global trends could occur and how the resulting European policies might affect the Finnish forest sector’s development in 2040. We applied a Futures Wheel approach, where stakeholder groups consisting of policy-, economic- and social sustainability-, technology-, and climate sustainability -experts in the field of forestry and interlinking industries created three future scenarios in a workshop: (1) biodiversity and regulated economy, (2) circular economy, and (3) era of social connection. The scenarios assumed growing resource scarcity as a result of climate change, as well as over-consumption and increasing inequality problems globally. Thus, European-level policies focused on the circular economy and resource-use restrictions. Finnish industries should invest in wood-based side stream and waste utilization to increase added value and decrease virgin wood uses to succeed in these scenarios. However, this would require investments in non-wood energy sources to release these secondary wood flows from energy uses.
