Groundwater Waves in a Coastal Fractured Aquifer of the Third Phase Qinshan Nuclear Power Engineering Field

Tidal fluctuations of Hangzhou Bay produce progressive pressure waves in adjacent field fractured aquifers, as the pressure waves propagate, groundwater levels and hydraulic gradients continuously fluctuate. The effect of tidal fluctuations on groundwater flow can be determined using the mean hydraulic gradient that can be calculated by comparing mean ground and surface water elevations.Tidal fluctuation is shown to affect the piezometer readings taken in a nearshore fractured aquifer around the nuclear power engineering field. Continuous monitoring of a network of seven piezometers provided relations between the tidal cycle and the piezometer readings. The relations can be expressed in times of a time and amplitude scaling factor. The time lag and the tidal efficiency factor and wavelength are calculated using these parameters. It provides significant scientific basis to prevent tide and groundwater for the nuclear power engineering construction and safety run of nuclear power station in the future.

Analog-experiment analysis of ash-deposition monitoring model of boiler economizers in power plants

Ash deposition is a form of particulate fouling, and appears usually in boiler economizers. The ash deposition increases capital expenditure, energy input and maintenance costs. An analog experiment for monitoring ash deposition was performed from the analogous objective of a 410 t/h boiler economizer to verify the rationality and reliability of the ash-deposition-monitoring model presented in order to increase the security and economy in economizer running. The analog experiment platform is a tube-shell exchanger that conforms well to the conditions of a self-modeling area. The analog flue gas in the shell side is the heated air mixed with ash, and in the tube side the fluid is water heated by the flue gas. The fluid state in the water side and the flue gas side follows the second self-modeling area. A 4-factor-3-level orthogonal table was used to schedule 9 operation conditions of orthogonal experiment, with the 4 factors being heat power, flue gas velocity, ashes grain diameter and adding ashes quantity while the three levels are different values due to different position classes in every factor. The ash deposition thermal resistances is calculated by the model with the measure parameters of temperature and pressure drop. It shows that the values of the ash deposition thermal resistances gradually increase up to a stable state. And the experimental results are reliable by F testing method at α= 0.001. Therefore, the model can be applied in online monitoring of ash deposition in a boiler economizers in power plants and provides scientific decision on ash deposition prediction and sootblowing.

Climate change and global warming are among the most severe threats to the global ecosystem,caused by greenhouse gas emissions.Therefore,all industries that cause environmental emissions should collaborate in the struggle against climate change.In this context,the International Maritime Organization(IMO)approved the initial greenhouse gas strategy at the MEPC 72 session in April 2018 to achieve targets for 2050.With this strategy,the IMO aims to create and improve new regulations that can enhance energy efficiency to achieve their short-term,midterm,and long-term goals.In this study,one of the novel terms,energy efficiency existing ship index(EEXI)values,has been calculated for the Turkish fleet to guide the maritime sector.The Turkish fleet in the study refers to the Turkish-owned vessels both sailing with a national or international flag.In accordance with this regulation,the number of Turkish fleets that were identified as either above or below the IMO reference lines has been determined.Additionally,EEXI values have been recalculated using the engine power limitation(EPL)method for ships that exceed the required limits,and the success rate of this method has been estimated.As a result,the application of EPL increased the number of ships below the Phase 2 reference line from 15.6%to 53.1%.To the best of our knowledge,this research,which has been carried out on all Turkish-owned ships,is the first study intended to serve as a guide for other ship owners in the global maritime industry regarding energy efficiency management.

Visualization of 3-D temperature distribution in a 300 MW twin-furnace coal-fired boiler

Until now, it has been difficult to obtain on-line three-dimensional (3-D) temperature distribution information which can reflect the overall combustion condition in the furnace of a coal-fired power plant boiler. A combustion monitoring system is introduced which can solve the problem efficiently. Through this system, the 3-D temperature distribution in a coal-fired boiler furnace can be obtained using a novel flame image processing technique. Briefly, we first outline the visualization principle. Then, the hardware and software design of the system in a 300 MW twin-furnace coal-fired boiler are introduced in detail. The visualization of the 3-D temperature distribution in the twin-furnace boiler is realized with an industrial computer and the Distributed Control System (DCS) of the boiler. The practical operation of the system shows that it can provide valuable combustion information of a furnace and is useful for the combustion diagnosis and adjustment in coal-fired power plants.

Teaching Protective Relaying Design and Application Using New Modeling and Simulation Tools

As the smart grid concepts are emphasized lately, the need to modernize the power engineering education is also well recognized. This paper presents a set of newly developed modeling, simulation and testing tools aimed at better understanding of the design concept and related applications for protective relaying and substation automation solutions for the smart grid. Since the smart grid applications require integration of data from multiple IEDs （intelligent electronic devices）, understanding properties of each IED type in detail, as well as their responses to the power system events is needed. In addition, understanding the communication requirements to perform data integration is also important. To illustrate how the mentioned smart grid issues may be taught, the following advanced teaching approaches are presented： （1） Use of modeling and simulation means to better understand interaction between the relays and power system; （2） Use of IED test facilities to better understand performance of physical devices used for protection, monitoring and control; （3） Utilization of communication network modeling tools to simulate the communication network within SAS （substation automation system）. Examples showing the use of proposed techniques for teaching the fundamentals and applications are presented. The examples demonstrate the adequacy and efficiency of the proposed techniques.

An Innovative Argon/Miller Power Cycle for Internal Combustion Engine: Thermodynamic Analysis of its Efficiency and Power Density

Increasing efficiency and reducing emissions are fundamental approaches to achieving peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality for the transportation and power industries.The Argon power cycle(APC)is a novel concept for high efficiency and zero emissions.However,APC faces the challenges of severe knock and low power density at high efficiency.To elevate efficiency and power density simultaneously of APC,the Miller cycle is applied and combined with APC.The calculation method is based on a modification of the previous thermodynamic method.The mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is controlled in the stoichiometric ratio.The results indicate that to obtain a thermal conversion efficiency of 70%,in the Otto cycle,the compression ratio and the AR(argon molar ratio in the argon-oxygen mixture)could be 9 and 95%,respectively.In comparison,for the Miller cycle,these two parameters only need to be 7 and 91%.A lower compression ratio can reduce the negative effect of knock,and a reduced AR increases the power density by 66%with the same efficiency.The improvement effect is significant when the expansion-compression ratio is 1.5.Meanwhile,increasing the expansion-compression ratio is more effective in the argon-oxygen mixture than in the nitrogen–oxygen mixture.For the next-generation Argon/Miller power cycle engine,the feasible design to achieve the indicated thermal efficiency of 58.6%should be a compression ratio of 11,an expansion-compression ratio of 1.5,and an AR of 91%.
