Energy Science & Engineering is the home of high-impact fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and the SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), we are a sustainable energy journal dedicated to publishing research that will help secure an affordable and low carbon energy supply. In doing our part in solving this critical challenge, we aim to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development.

A resilient self‐healing approach for active distribution networks considering dynamic microgrid formation
-  29 November 2023
Graphical Abstract

This paper proposes a dynamic microgrid formation method for active distribution networks (ADNs) combined with the dynamic network reconfiguration and intentional islanding operation of distributed generations (DGs). Results show that ADNs not only get healed with minimum load curtailment, but also achieve minimal DG generation cost, network loss, and node voltage deviation.

How green is blue hydrogen?
-  1676-1687
-  12 August 2021
Graphical Abstract

Blue hydrogen is the production of hydrogen from natural gas combined with carbon capture and storage. Commercial production so far is limited to just two facilities, but blue hydrogen is increasingly being promoted as a green, “low emissions” fuel. Here, we provide the first full lifecycle assessment of emissions from the production of blue hydrogen, including fugitive upstream methane emissions from the natural gas that is used. Far from being low carbon, we find quite large emissions that give blue hydrogen a larger greenhouse gas footprint than any fossil fuel.
Solar power technology for electricity generation: A critical review
-  340-361
-  28 September 2018
Graphical Abstract

In this paper, both methods of electricity generation are reviewed and compared. Based on published studies, PV-based systems are more suitable for small-scale power generation. They are also capable of generating more electricity in a specific area in comparison with CSP-based systems. However, based on economic considerations, CSP plants are better in economic return.
Current status, challenges, and policy suggestions for coalbed methane industry development in China: A review
-  1059-1074
-  17 May 2019
Graphical Abstract

In this paper, the main problems hindering CBM development in China are discussed to provide management suggestions for the government. These key problems include exploration and development techniques, the overlap of mining rights, management, financial supporting policy, investment environment, regulations, and market conditions.
