Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyGlobally, the population is ageing and extreme weather scenarios are expected, especially in southern European countries. In this context, the study assessed the thermal comfort of older people in five nursing homes in a ... -
Multiphase processes in the EC-Earth model and their relevance to the atmospheric oxalate, sulfate, and iron cycles
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2022-04-08)
Article
Open AccessUnderstanding how multiphase processes affect the iron-containing aerosol cycle is key to predicting ocean biogeochemistry changes and hence the feedback effects on climate. For this work, the EC-Earth Earth system model ... -
The potential for photovoltaic-powered pumped-hydro systems to reduce emissions, costs, and energy insecurity in rural China
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
Article
Open AccessHomes in rural China often have access to water wells for domestic and agricultural use. Given the significant difference in height between the well water and the roof of the house, such an arrangement could be used as a ... -
Exploring the Regulation Reliability of a Pumped Storage Power Plant in a Wind–Solar Hybrid Power Generation System
(2021-09-17)
Article
Open AccessIn the coming decades, the proportion of wind–solar energy in power system significantly increases, resulting to uncertainties of power fluctuation in abundant wind–solar energy regions. The flexibility operation of Pumped ... -
