Application hybrid GSAPSO Technique for AGC in Inter Connected Power System with Generation Rate Constant

An attempt has been taken in this work to effectively implement the combination of GSA and PSO (hGSA-PSO) technique towards AGC in two-area inter-connected power systems with generation rate constraint (GRC) is considered. For the design and analysis, a initial attempt has been taken to optimize parameters of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller in two area non-reheat thermal power system employing GSA and hGSA-PSO algorithm with ITAE objective function. A sensitivity studies carried out for the robustness of the system by changing the operating condition and variation of the parameter and generation rate constant (GRC= ±0.05 and ±0.025) is considered. The performances of the proposed controller has been evaluated with those of some previously published optimization techniques such as GA and BOFA based optimized controller parameters for the same power system. This study of the present work is extended to two area multi sources power system to test the robustness analysis of the system by comparing the hGSA-PSO optimized to PI controller with same structure of system by selecting with and without GRC for showing the dynamic performance analysis of the system in term of settling time and overshoot.

Multi-Objective Optimal Performance of a Hybrid CPSD-SE/HWT System for Microgrid Power Generation

A new integrated hybrid solar thermal and wind-based microgrid power system is proposed. It consists of a concentrated parabolic solar dish Stirling engine, a wind turbine, and a battery bank. The electrical power curtailment is diminished, and the levelised cost of energy is significantly reduced. To achieve these goals, the present study conducts a dynamic performance analysis over one year of operation. Further, a multi-objective optimisation model based on a genetic algorithm is implemented to optimise the techno-economic performance. The MATLAB/Simulink® software was used to model the system, study the performance under various operating conditions, and optimise the proposed hybrid system. Finally, the model has been implemented for a specific case study in Mafraq, Jordan. The system satisfies a net power output of 1500 kWe. The developed model has been validated using published results. In conclusion, the obtained results reveal that the optimised model of the microgrid can substantially improve the overall efficiency and reduce the levelised cost of electricity.

The Invention and Application of Typical Points-Based Well Log Correlation and Picking Up Technology

This paper proposes a new method called typical points-based well log correlation and picking up technology and provides several related application examples based on this method. The new method firstly determines representative extreme points, typical or characteristic points by analyzing the characteristics of logging curves and lithology of different wells, which are generally representative points with special geological significance, including the points with the best physical properties or tight points. (For example, the maximum flooding surface or exposed surface in a sedimentary cycle, etc.). On the basis of these characteristic points, we carry out stratigraphic correlation and tracking between wells to obtain a data set of a series of characteristic points. From the same characteristic point, all points have the same or similar petrophysical properties, and the logging curve values of these characteristic points are extracted. And then analyze the change trend, distribution characteristics and the internal relationship of the parameters of the data set of each feature point. Based on the data set obtained from the method above, we extended it to the following application areas: 1) Through mathematical theoretical models, two free water level distribution modes and their determination workflows were established, including horizontal and tilted free water levels. 2) Perform data quality analysis and control, especially logging data analysis. 3) Exploratory application in the standardization of logging curves.4) Application in dynamic performance analysis The new method is developed on the traditional stratigraphic correlation method and stratal slicing method (Zeng Hongliu, 1998) and then used for well log data extraction and analysis. It is a practical means and technique for geological analysis. The application effect shows that the it is reliable, convenient and practical.

Static and dynamic performance analysis of scissor seat of combine harvester

This paper takes the scissor type seat of a domestic combine harvester as the research object, uses CATIA software to carry out three-dimensional modeling of the seat, and then imports the seat model into ANSYS Workbench software for static analysis and modal analysis, so as to judge whether the scissor type seat of the combine harvester meets the design requirements. The results of static analysis show that the maximum stress of the seat under the two different loads is less than the yield strength of the material, and the overall strength of the seat meets the design requirements. The modal analysis results show that the first six natural frequencies of the seat completely avoid the sensitive frequencies of the human body, which basically guarantees the working comfort of the driver. This study provides a theoretical basis for the structural design and optimization of combine seat.

Optimal Design and Dynamic Performance Analysis Based on the Asymmetric-Damping Vehicle ISD Suspension

This paper concerns the optimal problem of the vehicle ISD (inerter-spring-damper) suspension based on the asymmetric-damping effect. In order to explore the benefits of the asymmetric damping, a quarter car model of the four-element ISD suspension is built by considering the symmetric and asymmetric reciprocating damping factors. The parameters of the proposed vehicle ISD suspension with symmetric-damping and asymmetric-damping features are optimized by means of the genetic algorithm in single-objective scenario and multiobjective scenario, respectively. The dynamic performances are analyzed through simulations in time and frequency domains, and the impacts of the compression and tensile damping on the body acceleration, the suspension working space, and the dynamic tire load are discussed. Results indicate that, compared with the conventional passive suspension, the proposed ISD suspensions manifest excellent vibration isolation performance, and the asymmetric reciprocating damping ISD suspension even showcases extra improving space of the dynamic performances except for the dynamic tire load in the impulse input condition. It seems that the dynamic performance of the vehicle ISD suspension will be much superior when considering the asymmetric reciprocating damping factors.
