Three-Dimensional Analysis of Rolling by Twin Shear Stress Yield Criterion

Using the twin shear stress yield criterion, the surface integral of the co-line vectors, and the integration depending on upper limit, Kobayashi＇s three-dimensional velocity field of rolling was analyzed and an analytical expression of rolling torque and single force was obtained. Through redoing the same experiment of rolling pure lead as Sims, the calculated results by the above expression were compared with those of Kobayashi and Sims formulae. The results show that the twin shear stress yield criterion is available for rolling analysis and the calculated results by the new formula are a little higher than those by Kobayashi and Sims ones if the reduction ratio is less than 30%.

Very Short-Term Probabilistic Prediction Method for Wind Speed Based on ALASSO-Nonlinear Quantile Regression and Integrated Criterion

To enhance the performance of the prediction intervals (PIs), a novel very short-term probabilistic prediction method for wind speed via nonlinear quantile regression (NQR) based on adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (ALASSO) and integrated criterion (IC) is proposed. The ALASSO method is studied for shrinkage of output weights and selection of variables. Furthermore, for the better performance of PIs, composite weighted linear programming (CWLP) is proposed to modify the conventional linear programming cost function of quantile regression (QR), by combining it with Bayesian information criterion (BIC) as an IC to optimize the coefficients of PIs. Then, the multiple fold cross model (MFCM) is utilized to improve the PIs performance. Multistep probabilistic prediction of 15-minute wind speed is performed based on the real wind farm data from the northeast of China. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through the performances' comparisons with conventional methods.

Process Monitoring Based on Independent Component Contribution

Independent component analysis( ICA) has been widely applied to the monitoring of non-Gaussian processes. Despite lots of applications,there is no universally accepted criterion to select the dominant independent components( ICs). Moreover, how to determine the number of dominant ICs is still an open question. To further address this issue,a novel process monitoring based on IC contribution( ICC) is proposed from the perspective of information storage. Based on the ICC with each variable,the dominant ICs can be obtained and the number of dominant ICs is determined objectively. To further preserve the process information, the remaining ICs are not useless. As a result,all the ICs are regarded to be divided into dominant and residual subspaces. The monitoring models are established respectively in each subspace, and then Bayesian inference is applied to integrating monitoring results of the two subspaces. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are illustrated through a numerical example and the Tennessee Eastman process.

Reactive power compensation of an isolated hybrid power system with load interaction using ANFIS tuned STATCOM

This paper presents an adaptive neuro fuzzy interference system （ANFIS） based approach to tune the parameters of the static synchronous compensator （STAT- COM） with frequent disturbances in load model and power input of a wind-diesel based isolated hybrid power system （IHPS）. In literature, proportional integral （PI） based controller constants are optimized for voltage stability in hybrid systems due to the interaction of load disturbances and input power disturbances. These conventional controlling techniques use the integral square error （ISE） criterion with an open loop load model. An ANFIS tuned constants of a STATCOM controller for controlling the reactive power requirement to stabilize the voltage variation is proposed in the paper. Moreover, the interaction between the load and the isolated power system is developed in terms of closed loop load interaction with the system. Furthermore, a comparison of transient responses of IHPS is also presented when the system has only the STATCOM and the static compensation requirement of the induction generator is fulfilled by the fixed capacitor, dynamic compensation requirement, meanwhile, is fulfilled by STATCOM. The model is tested for a 1% step increase in reactive power load demand at t = 0 s and then a sudden change of 3% from the 1% at t = 0.01 s for a 1% step increase in power input at variable wind speed model.
