Abstract Energy services markets are actively developing around the world, but
their growth rates need to be accelerated in order to help the world meet energy
policy goals. One barrier to energy services markets is confusion created from different terminology used in different parts of the world. In this context, various
definitions of the term “energy services” have been analyzed in this paper and
it has been recommended to distinguish between “energy services” and
“energy-related services”. The structural and functional features of the energy services market conceptual design and its implementation models, as well as the use
of energy service companies… More >

Abstract With the huge increase in natural gas consumption, the distortion of
natural gas prices, especially in the residential sector, is prominently shaped into
a heavy burden for public finance. Although city gate price and a price linkage
mechanism have been established, the price tolerance of residential natural gas
should be considered when the price of residential gas fluctuates with the
upstream gas price. Determinants of the price affordability of residential natural
gas consumption at different economic development levels (Beijing, Nanjing,
Zhengzhou) are investigated by field survey and online investigation and analyzed
by a factor analysis and discriminant analysis. The results… More >

Abstract This study introduced a significantly effective approach called the
microwave-enhanced Fenton method to degrade spent radioactive cation
exchange resin. Compared with the Fenton (99% after 180 min) and photo-Fenton
(90% after 198 min) reactions, this unique microwave-enhanced Fenton reaction
has the highest degradation rate for spent radioactive cation exchange resin degradation (98.55% after 60 min). Carbon dioxide, sulfate and small molecular compounds were produced in the degradation of cation exchange resin, as determined
by XRD and FT-IR. A model for the microwave-enhanced Fenton degradation
mechanism of cation exchange resin was constructed. Microwaves were implemented to boost the concentration of hydroxyl… More >

Abstract With the continuous development of society and the progress of science
and technology, the living standards of the people also constantly improve, people
pay more and more attention to the pursuit of material life, and the living space of
everyday life and office space requirements are also rising, the air conditioning
has become the essential in people’s daily life a kind of electrical equipment.
The traditional optimal matching methods of heating, ventilation, air conditioning
(HVAC) system have common problems such as long matching time, low matching accuracy and many matching times. The application of the best matching
method of HAVC… More >

Abstract The improvement of energy efficiency is considered as one of the keys
to the sustainable development of manufacturing enterprises. This paper proposes
an energy efficiency improvement method for the manufacturing process. Based
on the analysis of the characteristics of energy consumption in the manufacturing
process, a necessary energy consumption model, an assistant energy consumption
model and an ineffective energy consumption model are constructed for identifying the energy consumption attributes of the manufacturing process. Then, the
relationship model of energy consumption is built, and the energy efficiency
improvement method for the manufacturing process is proposed based on ECRSR
(Elimination, Combination, Rearrangement,… More >
