ABSTRACT: As distributed small-scale generate system integrated into built environment, micro wind turbines are being on the way to commercial market. But there is complexity in small-scale wind system differed from traditional wind system because of the particularity of built environment. This paper provides an overall review of micro wind turbines research in the built environment. The configuration forms, key technical problems and the application prospect of micro wind turbine in built environment are reviewed. This review aims at providing researchers and government a better understanding of application of micro wind turbines in the built environment and taking further proper actions to promote the development of wind energy in built environment.

ABSTRACT: Open source rendering engine OpenSceneGraph (OSG) is introduced, a virtual reality platform is made by integrating OSG with other open source software. Method that integrating OSG with Cal3d and the developing process of the platform in Microsoft Visual Studio.net is brought out, as well as character animation in OSG environment. The platform developed is applied into a virtual reality runner training electronics treadmill. Feasibility of the method is proven.

ABSTRACT: The world has been suffering dramatically increasing energy consumption during recent years. As the biggest developing country, China has a more urgent situation. To highlight the promising potential of renewable energy may be the only solution. Due to the vast sea area and continuous coast line of 18,000Â km, China has an excellent tidal current energy resource, which has good prospect for development. In this paper, the development of tidal current in China is briefly reviewed. The description is focused on the tidal current energy resource and the status of conversion technologies in China. Finally, the opportunities of the development of tidal current in China, including the urgent energy situation, the increasing pressure on reducing emissions, national policies for tidal current energy development and the increase of investment, are discussed in detail. A conclusion is made that the tidal current energy ought to be an important option for China in terms of renewable energy.

ABSTRACT: Facing great pressure of economic growth and energy crisis, China pays much attention to the renewable energy. An overview of policy and legislation of renewable energy as well as status of development of renewable energy in China was given in this article. By analysis, the authors believe that ocean energy is a necessary addition to existent renewable energy to meet the energy demand of the areas and islands where traditional forms of energy are not applicable and it is of great importance in adjusting energy structure of China. In the article, resources distribution and technology status of tidal energy, wave energy, marine current energy, ocean thermal energy and salinity gradient energy in China was reviewed, and assessment and advices were given for each category. Some suggestions for future development of ocean energy were also given.
