General principles of expanding the speed range of operation of autonomous power supply systems for passenger cars by S. L. Samoshkin, S. S. Mironov, O. S. Samoshkin, M. V. Khodenkov, A. S. Sarikov

“…It is solved by forcing the excitation of the generators.Analysis of modern systems of autonomous power supply of passenger cars showed that the expansion of the speed range of its operation can be achieved in three ways:•             raising the gear ratio of the gearbox to ensure it is switched on to the nominal mode at a carriage speed of 15 - 20 km/h without changing the parameters of the generator and the entire system of autonomous power supply;•             modernization of the electrical equipment complex for passenger cars to ensure the operation of the main power consumers and charge the battery while driving at low speeds (over 18 km/h) without changing the mechanical parameters and composition of the serial generator-drive unit;•             modernization of the generator in order to reduce its turnon revolutions to the power required to provide the main power consumers without changing the mechanical parameters of the drive.All three methods have its advantages and disadvantages, the choice of any of them is determined by the technical requirements for a specific car model.…”

Carbon emission accounting for peak-shaving LNG plant and suggestions on emission reduction countermeasures by Hengjin HU, Dongming ZHANG, Xingxing GAO, Dawei WANG

“…Indirect emissions from electricity constituted the largest share, reaching 66.95%, followed by emissions from fuel combustion, processes, and flare combustion, accounting for 18.42%, 12.58%, and 1.79% respectively. Fugitive emissions made up 0.27% of the total emissions. Conclusion According to the carbon emission composition and intensity characteristics of this plant, suggestions for carbon emission reduction countermeasures are proposed from four aspects: (1) employing cold energy power generation technologies and purchasing green electricity as complementary sources; (2) implementing energy conservation transformations through energy conservation and emission reduction measures; (3) optimizing seal gas sources for the flare system, and utilizing Boil-off Gas (BOG) as an additional gas source for the fuel gas system; (4) deploying carbon capture and recycling facilities. …”
