Modeling Energy Consumption in the Production Processes of Industrial Units Based on Load Response Programs in the Energy Market

The optimal operation of microgrids is of great significance for the sake of efficient and economical management of its energy resources.The microgrid energy management system should plan to operate the microgrid while simultaneously considering the electric and thermal load.The present study proposes energy management to minimize the costs of operating an industrial microgrid.In fact,planning for energy supply is among the critical issues that distribution companies deal with daily in the competitive environment.A distribution company usually meets customer(end customer)demands by purchasing energy from a wholesale market.Given the load curtailment,distribution companies have more choices and interactions in the market.Distribution companies face the two uncertainties of load changes and price fluctuations in their daily energy supply planning which could lead to the risk of loss resulting from the distribution company’s decision-making for daily energy supply planning.Thus,these companies face the challenge of maximizing profit in a risk-based environment.Therefore,the present study presents an optimal model of energy consumption in the production processes of aluminum and cement industrial units.The presented model was then used in planning the day-ahead energy of a microgrid containing these industrial units.Since the studied subject has many limitations,it would be difficult to solve it using mathematical methods.To resolve this issue then,the present study introduces a newly developed algorithm inspired by bee colonies.The proposed method seeks to significantly improve in the local and global search capabilities.In addition to confirming the validity of the proposed model,results indicate that the implementation of load-response programs and the cooperation of industrial units in the ancillary services and energy market can increase the profits of units and microgrids as well as correct the demand curve.According to the obtained results from the first and second test cases,the total profit of the aluminum unit was$188,103 and$237,805,respectively.Similarly,this profit for the cement industrial unit is$104,350 and$233,195.3,respectively.From the results,it can be observed that the final profit of the second unit has increased by 61%.

General Expression of LRC Method in Estimation of Bridge’s Equivalent Static Wind Load

According to the relationship between load and response, the equivalent static wind load(ESWL) of a structure can be estimated by load-response correlation(LRC) method, which can be accurately used to estimate the background ESWL of a structure. The derivation of the classical expression of LRC formula is based on a specific command response at a critical position, and the ESWL distribution has only one form in this case. In this paper, a general expression of LRC formula is derived based on a specific command response at all positions. For the general expression, ESWLs can be expressed by load-response correlation coefficients, response-response correlation coefficients, RMS values of the fluctuating wind loads, and peak factor in the form of matrices. By comparing the expressions of LRC method, it was found that the classical expression was only one form of the general one. The general expression which introduces the response-response correlation coefficients provided more options for structural engineers to estimate ESWLs and offered further insights into the LRC method. Finally, a cable-stayed bridge, a rigid three span continuous girder bridge, and a suspension bridge were used to verify the correctness of the general expression of LRC method.

Propeller Torque Load and Propeller Shaft Torque Response Correlation During Ice-propeller Interaction

轮船使用推进机械系统创造方向性的戳。当轮船壳进展，航行在盖住冰的水里包含碎冰片和他们的 submergence。有时，沉没了冰片与推进器交往并且引起转矩负担的不规则的变化。作为结果，推进器和引擎动力学，变得的 imbalanced，和能量通过推进机械系统宣传直到平衡被到达。处于如此的 imbalanced 状况，测量推进器柄转矩反应不等于推进器转矩。在这个工作，因此，全面系统反应用契约图模型在冰相关的转矩负担下面被模仿。推进器和推进器柄之间的能量差别被估计并且与他们的相应机械能量有关。另外，机械能量在模式之中被散布。基于分发，运动并且势能为在推进器转矩和推进器柄反应之间的关联是重要的。
