Abstract
The present study aims to develop a novel optimal design of hybrid energy systems based on exergy and lifecycle concepts using genetic algorithms. The model consists of both stand-alone and on-grid options with scenarios for exchanging energy with the grid. The objectives include cost minimization or benefit maximization primarily, and lifecycle exergy efficiency, i.e., cost as the sustainability index secondarily. This research considers renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, and hydrogen production and storage in addition to conventional diesel generators. The optimization was performed subject to weather conditions and solar radiation profiles, demand, and environmental or economic aspects. Also, the model contains various modules such as water-heating, waste energy utilization, as well as the options of power exchange with the distribution network and injection of hydrogen produced from excess renewable sources into the gas network. The application was demonstrated in a case study, where specific demands and the climate of Tehran were assumed. The case study considers four scenarios, including standalone, completely on-grid, on-grid with a non-backup generator, and on-grid without an energy sale option. The first optimal objective, the levelized unit cost of energy for the standalone system, is $0.22 per kWh. Moreover, the second optimal objective, the lifecycle exergy cost, ranges from 1.93 to 4.13 in different grid-connection states.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
