are designed to store 50,000 to more than 500,000 hundredweight (cwt) of potatoes in bulk piles. Successful long-term storage of potatoes requires using a sprout inhibitor in combination with proper storage management. Chlorpropham (CIPC) is the most effective post-harvest sprout inhibitor registered for use in potato storages in the United States. Its use as a potato sprout inhibitor was first...

Power-to-gas-to-power technologies incorporating electrolysis, methanation, SNG-fired Allam cycles and subsurface storages allow for a confined circular use of CO 2 /CH 4 thus an emission-free seasonal storage intermittent renewable energy.

The future distribution network comprising different energy carriers will include small-scale energy resources (SSERs) and loads, known as a Networked multi-carrier microgrid (NMCMG). This concept not only leads to an efficient reduction in operation costs, but also encompasses the energy transformation between gas and electric networks at combined nodes, as well as district heating networks. I...

Ontologies have become a fully competitive knowledge storing systems. However, programmatic access to them lacks standardization common to relational databases. This thesis proposes a software layer capable of unifying access to different ontology storages. In cooperation with persistence provider implementation JOPA, developed at the Czech Technical University in Prague, it should significantl...

This paper studies an energy management problem for a typical grid-connected microgrid system that consists of renewable energy sources, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) co-generation, and energy storages to satisfy electricity and heat demand simultaneously. We formulate this problem into a stochastic non-convex optimization programming to achieve the minimum microgrid’s operating cost, which is ...
