  • Publication number: 20240136816
    Abstract: A method for quantifying and assessing a scheduling risk considering source load fluctuation and rescheduling, and an apparatus for quantifying and assessing a scheduling risk considering source load fluctuation and rescheduling are provided. The method includes establishing a scene set considering a new energy disturbance; establishing and solving a rescheduling optimization model considering the new energy disturbance in each scene based on a preset scheduling plan according to the scene set, so as to obtain a solving result of the rescheduling optimization model; and calculating a risk quantifying and assessing result corresponding to the preset scheduling plan according to the solving result of the rescheduling optimization model.

  • Patent number: 7596961
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dehumidification unit which comprises alternate laminations of an adsorption element (1) provided with a plurality of first air ventilation passages (3) and a cooling element (2) provided with a plurality of second air ventilation passages (4). In the dehumidification unit, the cooling element (2) is provided, at a planewise inner area thereof, with an opening (24), thereby being shaped like a frame. Cooling air (Ab) is passed through the opening (24). With such configuration, the length of the second air ventilation passages (4) becomes shorter by an amount corresponding to the formation of the opening (24). Consequently, the pressure loss of the cooling air (Ab) is reduced and its flow rate increases accordingly. In addition, at the opening's (24) area, the cooling air (Ab) is brought into direct contact with the adsorption element's (1) side, and the efficiency of heat transfer therebetween is improved.

  • Patent number: 7470311
    Abstract: A dehumidification unit comprised of alternate laminations of an adsorption element which supports an adsorbent and which is provided with a first air ventilation passage and a cooling element, which is provided with a second air ventilation passage. The first air ventilation passage of the adsorption element and the second air ventilation passage of the cooling element are adjacently formed, with a single plate member lying between the first and second air ventilation passages. As a result of such arrangement, as compared with a structure formed with two plate members lying therebetween second air ventilation passages, the performance of heat transfer between the air ventilation passages is further improved, whereby the dehumidification capability of the dehumidification unit is maintained at high levels over a long period of time.

  • Patent number: 7318320
    Abstract: A humidity control apparatus includes two adsorbing elements (81, 82), and performs a batch-type operation. The humidity control apparatus includes a refrigerant circuit (100). A second air for regenerating the adsorbing element (81, 82) is heated through a regenerative heat exchanger (102) of the refrigerant circuit (100). The refrigerant circuit (100) includes a first heat exchanger (103) and a second heat exchanger (104). In a dehumidification mode, the first heat exchanger (103) serves as an evaporator, and the first air to be supplied exchanges heat with the refrigerant. At this point, the second heat exchanger (104) is inactive. In a dehumidification mode, the second heat exchanger (104) serves as an evaporator, and the first air to be discharged exchanges heat with the refrigerant. At this point, the first heat exchanger (103) is inactive.

  • Publication number: 20060086125
    Abstract: In a dehumidification unit comprising alternate laminations of an adsorption element (1) which supports an adsorbent and which is provided with a first air ventilation passage (3) and a cooling element (2) which is provided with a second air ventilation passage (4), the first air ventilation passage (3) of the adsorption element (1) and the second air ventilation passage (4) of the cooling element (2) are adjacently formed, with a single plate member (P) lying between the first and second air ventilation passages (3, 4). As a result of such arrangement, as compared with a structure in which the air ventilation passages (3, 4) are adjacently formed with two plate members lying therebetween, the performance of heat transfer between the air ventilation passages (3, 4) is further improved, and the action of absorbing and removing heat of adsorption is promoted, whereby the dehumidification capability of the dehumidification unit is maintained at high levels over a long period of time.

  • Patent number: 6978635
    Abstract: An adsorption element (81, 82) is formed by an alternating lamination of flat plate members (83) and corrugated plate members (84). Each flat plate member (83) is a given rectangle of L1/L2=2. In the adsorption element (81, 82), humidity adjusting side passageways (85) are opened on side surfaces of the adsorption element (81, 82) which are located on the longer-side side of the flat plate members (83). Additionally, cooling side passageways (86) are opened on side surfaces of the adsorption element (81, 82) which are located on the shorter-side side of the flat plate members (83).
