Abstract:The electricity sector is among the main contributors to carbon emissions. This sector has the potential to reduce its carbon emissions through producing electric energy from zero-emitting facilities and optimizing consumption to better accommodate low-carbon emissions. The use of hydrogen combined with smart grids, as analyzed in this manuscript, can substantially contribute to climate change mitigation.

Summary One of the main challenges facing power generation by fuel cells involves the difficulties related to hydrogen storage. Several methods have been suggested and studied by researchers to overcome this problem. Among these methods, using fuel reformers as a component of the fuel cell system is a practical and promising alternative to hydrogen storage. Among many hydrogen carrier fuels used in reformers, methanol is one of the most attractive ones because of its distinctive properties. To design and improve of the methanol reformate gas fuel cell systems, different aspects such as promising market applications for reformate gas–fueled fuel cell systems, and catalysts for methanol reforming should be considered. Therefore, our goal in this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview on the past and recent studies regarding methanol reforming technologies, while considering different aspects of this topic. Firstly, different fuel reforming processes are briefly explained in the first section of the paper. Then properties of various fuels and reforming of these fuels are compared, and the characteristics of commercial reformate gas–fueled systems are presented. The main objective of the first section of the paper is to give information about studies and market applications related to reformation of various fuels to understand advantages and disadvantages of using various fuels for different practical applications. In the next sections of the paper, advancements in the methanol reforming technology are explained. The methanol reforming catalysts and reaction kinetics studies by various researchers are reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of each catalyst are discussed, followed by presenting the studies accomplished on different types of reformers. The effects of operating parameters on methanol reforming are also discussed. In the last section of this paper, methanol reformate gas–fueled fuel cell systems are reviewed. Overall, this review paper provides insight to researchers on what has been accomplished so far in the field of methanol reforming for fuel cell power generation applications to better plan the next stage of studies in this field.

“…It is possible to reduce overall power consumption of central air conditioning and cold storage control. A central air conditioning system is one of the major types of large‐scale equipment installed in a building to create a comfortable and efficient work and living environment; however, it also results in increasingly prominent building power problems . At present, the problem that the design load of the central air conditioning system does not match the operating load is outstanding.…”

Summary Owing to the large power consumption and poor indoor comfort of central air conditioning, controlling the central air conditioning for cool storage and analyzing the power saving optimization of the central air conditioning operation have become necessary. Therefore, a method of power saving optimization analysis based on an improved ant colony air conditioning system is proposed to solve the problem of power consumption. According to the characteristics of cold storage operation regulation, the power consumption of chilled water pumps and air conditioning fans were used to establish a model, and the influence of cold storage operation regulation on central air conditioning operation power consumption was analyzed. On this basis, the improved ant colony is used to optimize the power saving path, according to the factors affecting the power consumption of central air conditioning operation above, and the optimal operation of air conditioning and storage regulation was analyzed, and the power saving treatment of central air conditioning operation was completed. The experimental results show that when the method is adopted, power consumption can be reduced by 67 560 kWh for the entire year, the total consumption of the optimal working point is approximately 0.384 kW, and the power saving effect is better with certain advantages.
