Energy-related carbon emissions in China have increased significantly. To mitigate these emissions, it is necessary to estimate the trends (increase or decrease) and the magnitudes of the influences (tons of carbon emitted) as a result of four causal factors that affect emissions: GDP, economic structure, energy intensity, and fuel mix. To do so, we have divided the study period into three intervals (from 1995 to 2009) based on China’s three most-recent 5-year plans. We then divided China’s 30 provinces into four categories based on the individual and net effects of these factors on carbon emissions. On this basis, we discuss potential strategies for reducing China’s carbon emissions. Increasing GDP caused the largest increase in carbon emissions, whereas decreasing energy intensity significantly decreased emissions. Changes in the economic structure increased emissions, with the economic structure becoming more carbon-intensive; efforts to optimize the fuel mix slightly decreased emissions during the first and third periods, but increased emissions during the second period. Our analysis also revealed differences between provinces and regions, allowing local managers to focus on the most important problems for their area. To reduce future energy-related carbon emissions, China’s economic structure, energy intensity, and fuel mix must all be improved.

The exchanges of NOx between snow and air have significant impact on the atmospheric components and photochemical processes in the overlying boundary layer. Such exchanges increase the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere and may have a crucial impact on the air signals that are retrieved from ice cores. In the recent years, sunlit snow and ice have been demonstrated to be important NOx sources in the polar atmospheric boundary layer. This paper makes a thorough review on the release of NOx from snow and ice, including field observations and experimental evidences, release mechanisms and influential parameters that affect such a release process, polar NOx concentrations and fluxes, and environmental impacts of the chemical processes of NOx in the polar atmospheric boundary layer. In the Tibetan Plateau, the released NOx observed recently in the sunlit snow/ice-cover is 1-order magnitude more than that in polar regions, but further scientific research is still needed to reveal its impact on the atmospheric oxidizing capacity.

The influence of EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) rate and excess air ratio (λ) on the combustion and emissions of a twofold dilution compressed natural gas (CNG) engine CA6SE3-21E4N were investigated experimentally to solve the limited decreasing-ability on NO x emissions with air dilution. The results show that as EGR rate and λ increase, the peak of cylinder pressure and heat release rate decrease and delay, the heat release centroids and the start of combustion move backward, the main combustion duration becomes longer and then the flame propagation velocity slows down. The cyclic variations intensify versus the EGR rate and λ increase. With smaller λ than that of air dilution under equivalent NO x emission levels, the twofold dilution makes the engine operating more stably. Considering the trade-off between NO x emissions and fuel economy, values as optimal control point can be obtained under 1750r/min, 75% load conditions, namely, λ is 1.35, EGR rate is 7%.

The sensitivity of ride comfort performance to the vehicle elastic component is studied in this paper, including suspension spring, suspension rubber component, seat and tire. Firstly the quarter ride dynamics model considering the elastic characteristic of vehicle and the friction and hysteresis characteristic of suspension system of one passenger car, having three degrees of freedom, is established. By the MatLab/Simulink simulation, the vibration responses of seat and floor under random input are achieved and some objective evaluation indexes of ride comfort are calculated. Furthermore the sensitivity analysis for objective evaluation indexes on key parameters which influence ride comfort is carried out with Parameter Sensitivity Analysis theory and some conclusions are summarized.

A controller of variable steering ratio for Active Front Steering system is designed, and virtual road tests are made in CarMaker driver-vehicle-road simulation environment. The results of simulation tests validate the controller performance and the advantage of variable steering ratio function, also show that the driving comfort is improved at low speed especially, due to the Active Front Steering system alters the steering ratio according to the driving situation.

This paper presents a predictive control scheme of DC-link voltage for back-to-back converters based on energy balance modeling. Since the variation of DC-link voltage is affected by the energy mismatch between rectifier and inverter, the energy distribution in a rectifier-inverter is analyzed. Moreover, in order to calculate the input and output energy in one control period accurately, the grid current is regulated by predictive control and the instantaneous active power consumed by the induction motor is estimated. Then, an equation based on energy balance in one control period is established, and the DC-link voltage can be controlled by solving it. Finally, simulation results show that with the proposed control scheme, the back-to-back converter exhibits both good dynamic and steady-state performances.

In this paper, stormwater runoff from an urban traffic road and building located in Beijing, China, was characterized to measure the stormwater runoff discharge rates and pollutant concentrations. Based on monitoring, the runoff water quality on two underlying surface conditions was analyzed. The temporal dynamics of chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH 3- N, NO 3 -N and total phosphorus (TP) were similar and the concentration dropped quickly in the first half hour. The initial concentration of COD, NH 3 -N, NO 3 -N and TP are worse than the fifth category of national surface water standard, some of them were even beyond the standard of the third category of emission discharge standard. In the urban water resource conservation, reuse of stormrain is a good potential. So, a simple combination of treatment methods with Quartz sand and activated carbon was proposed to reduce the pollution concentration. The COD and TP concentration decreased significantly after the treatment, and the removal rate is sensitive to the hydrological loading of inlet water. The activated carbon did not have impact on NH 3 -Nand NO 3 -N and the removal rate is stable on three kinds of hydrological scenarios. The study demonstrates the discharge characteristics of urban sotrmrain runoff and provides the results of simple and cheap treatment equipment.

Ride comfort and handing stability are the two important driving features of vehicle. In the process of suspension design, ride comfort and handing stability are two conflicting considerations. Magneto-rheological(MR) fluid dampers are a new class of devices that more suitable for the requirements of automotive applications, including having very low power requirements. According to different driving conditions and body posture, semi-active suspension based on MR damper can coordinate the body posture angle, and reduce the vibration from suspension pass to vehicle body. This paper deals with theoretical analysis and experiments of MR fluid damper in semi-active suspension system. Based on a large number of experimental data, a mathematical MR damper model was adopted to predict both the force-displacement behavior and the complex nonlinear force-velocity response. For the purpose of developing semi-active controller, a detailed vehicle Virtual Prototyping model with steering, frame and semi-active suspensions systems was established by vehicle dynamics simulation software SIMPACK. The co-simulation of ride comfort and handing stability showed that the semi-active suspension designed in this paper was suitable for solving the conflict between ride comfort and handing stability, and improve the ride and handing performance simultaneously.

The effects of fuel octane number(RON) on homogeneous charge compression ignition(HCCI) combustion were studied under different combustion boundary conditions on a rapid compression machine. The results show that the maximum pressure raise rate and maximum combustion temperature decreased as the RON increased while the start of combustion is delayed and the combustion duration is shortened at the same time.

The key parameters of SOA (safe operating area) of semiconductor devices are hard to be measured when converter is operating, which is not helpful to protect converter at any time. On the other hand, surplus estimating method is widely used to design the main circuit. In order to guarantee the whole system works safely and improve utilization rate of devices, the concept of SSOA (systematic safe operating area) is presented. By determining the relationship of key parameters between devices and converter, the expression of SSOA is described quantitatively. Then it is implemented as a basic rule to design a back-to-back converter based on IGBT for 55kW induction motor optimally. Rated value of DC-link voltage and grid filter of the system is obtained reasonably as well.
