Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a popular renewable energy technology that produces sustainable energy from low-cost wastes. Additives have shown to improve AD performance significantly, but their usage still presents challenges in practice.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most popular renewable energy technologies. The AD process produces sustainable energy using various low-cost wastes. Although AD technology is widely used, its low biodegradation efficiency and poor stability limit its commercial application. The use of additives has been shown to offer marked improvements in AD performance. However, in practice, the use of additives in AD is not fully understood. In this review, the principles and achievements of additives (including metal elements, carbon-based accelerants, biological additives, and alkali addition) promoting AD performance are summarized. The review also discusses the issues and development trend of each additive. There are still many challenges associated with using additives in AD systems owing to significant variations in digestion substrates and AD operational procedures. The dosage and types of additives have a great influence on the efficiency of AD, which mainly depend on the substrate. Moreover, the implementation process of each additive is not perfect. Therefore, it is essential to better utilize additives to promote AD performance according to the merits of each material. The application of composite additives requires further exploration to optimize the implementation process. This paper deepens our understanding of flexible additives in the AD process and provides comprehensive information that can be used to promote renewable clean energy. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

Relative evaluation of probabilistic methods for spatio-temporal wind forecasting
Lars odegaard Bentsen, Narada Dilp Warakagoda, Roy Stenbro, Paal Engelstad
Summary: This study investigates uncertainty modeling in wind power forecasting using different parametric and non-parametric methods. Johnson's SU distribution is found to outperform Gaussian distributions in predicting wind power. This research contributes to the literature by introducing Johnson's SU distribution as a candidate for probabilistic wind forecasting.

Comparison of ethane recovery processes for lean gas based on a coupled model
Xing Liu, Qiuchen Wang, Yunhao Wen, Long Li, Xinfang Zhang, Yi Wang
Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

A novel deep-learning framework for short-term prediction of cooling load in public buildings
Cairong Song, Haidong Yang, Xian-Bing Meng, Pan Yang, Jianyang Cai, Hao Bao, Kangkang Xu
Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

The impact of social interaction and information acquisition on the adoption of soil and water conservation technology by farmers: Evidence from the Loess Plateau, China
Zhe Chen, Xiaojing Li, Xianli Xia, Jizhou Zhang
Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
