STEADY-STATE OPERATION ANALYSIS OF AN IDEAL HEAT INTEGRATED DISTILLATION COLUMN

A systematic approach for the steady-state operation analysis of chemical processes is pro-posed.The method affords the possibility of taking operation resilience into consideration during thestage of process design.It may serve the designer as an efficient means for the initial screening ofalternative design schemes.An ideal heat integrated distillation column(HIDiC),without any reboileror condenser attached,is studied throughout this work.It has been found that among the various va-riables concerned with the ideal HIDiC,feed thermal condition appears to be the only factor exertingsignificant influences on the interaction between the top and the bottom control loops.Maximuminteraction is expected when the feed thermal condition approaches 0.5.Total number of stages andheat transfer rate are essential to the system ability of disturbance rejection.Therefore,more stagesand higher heat transfer rate ought to be preferred.But,too many stages and higher heat transfer ratemay increase the load of the

Experimental research on steady-state operation characteristics of gas-solid flow in a 15.5 m dual circulating fluidized bed system

Gassolid hydrodynamic steadystate operation is the operating basis in a chemical looping dualreactor system.This study reported the experimental results on the steadystate operation characteristics of gassolid flow in a 15.5 m high dual circulating fluidized bed(CFB)cold test system.The effects of superficial gas velocity,static bed material height and solid returning modes on the steadystate operation characteristics between the two CFBs were investigated.Results suggest that the solid distributions in the dual CFB test system was mainly determined by the superficial gas velocity and larger solid inventory may help to improve the solid distributions.Besides,crossreturning mode coupled with selfreturning is good for steadystate running in the dualreactor test system.

Progress Toward Steady-State Operation on Tore Supra

Important technological and physics issues related to steady-state operationrequired for next step are being examined on Tore Supra, after a major upgrade of internalcomponents in order to increase the heat extraction capability to 25 MW for 1000 s. Here, we showfirst experimental results, where all the plasma facing components were actively cooled duringpulses exceeding four minutes, with reactor-relevant heat load. New physics was observed innon-inductively driven plasmas, including a stationary peaked radial profile of the plasma densitygenerated by an anomalous inward pinch; and a regime characterized by sinusoidal oscillations ofcentral electron temperature, governed by non-linear coupling between heat transport and plasmacurrent analogous to a predator-prey mechanism.

A Disturbance Source Location Method on the Low Frequency Oscillation With Time-varying Steady-state Points

The low frequency oscillation is a serious threat to security and stability of a power grid.How to locate the disturbance source accurately is an important issue to low frequency oscillation disposal.Existing methods have poor adaptability to the low frequency oscillation with time-varying steady-state points because of the limitations in the location criterion derivation.A disturbance source location method on a low frequency oscillation with good generality is presented in the paper.Firstly,the reasons why the steady-state points are time-varying on a low frequency oscillation are analyzed.Then,based on the energy function construction form,the branch transmission energy is decomposed into state energy,reciprocating energy and dissipation energy by mathematical derivation.The flow direction of the dissipation energy shows the source and destination of the disturbance energy,and the specific location of a disturbance source can be identified according to its flow direction.Meanwhile,to meet the needs of energy calculation,a recognition method on the electrical quantities steady-state points is also presented by using the cubic spline interpolation.Simulation results show the correctness of the derivation and analysis on energy structure in the paper,and the disturbance source can be located accurately according to the dissipation energy.

Hot-Spot Detection System with Correction of Operating Point for PV Generation System

Currently, the production and the number of installations of PV （photovoltaic） modules have been increasing rapidly because of a feed-in tariff in Japan. Accordingly, the number of failures has also increased. Many failures are a result of the Hot-Spot phenomenon in which defective cell becomes hot when shadow occurs on the cell, On the other hand, if shadow occurs on normal cell, there are cases that P＆O method that is MPPT （maximum power point tracking） control method incorporated in conventional PV system cannot track maximum power point and generated power decreases. The correspondence is required rapidly if these trouble occur. However, conventional PV system monitors generated power, correspondence is impossible by monitoring generated power. Previously, the authors developed real time Hot-Spot detection system that incorporates into PCS （power conditioning system）. Thus, the authors developed plug-in type Hot-Spot monitoring system that includes ＂PV peak shift method＂ and confirmed effectiveness of the system in this time. ＂PV peak shift method＂ loads ＂Scan method＂ that is MPPT control method and measures I-V （current-voltage） characteristic by changing voltage of module from open to short by ＂Scan method＂ on a regular basis. The developed Hot-Spot monitoring system uses slope of I-V characteristic of PV module. Inserting developed system into already installed PV system, Hot-Spot can be easily monitored in real time and PV system can be operated at maximum power point.

An Efficient Method to Estimate Admittance of Black-boxed Inverter-based Resources for Varying Operating Points

Traditional analytical approaches for stability assessment of inverter-based resources(IBRs),often requiring detailed knowledge of IBR internals,become impractical due to IBRs’proprietary nature.Admittance measurements,relying on electromagnetic transient simulation or laboratory settings,are not only time-intensive but also operationally inflexible,since various non-linear control loops make IBRs’admittance models operating-point dependent.Therefore,such admittance measurements must be performed repeatedly when operating point changes.To avoid time-consuming and cumbersome measurements,admittance estimation for arbitrary operating points is highly desirable.However,existing admittance estimation algorithms usually face challenges in versatility,data demands,and accuracy.Addressing this challenge,this letter presents a simple and efficient admittance estimation method for blackboxed IBRs,by utilizing a minimal set of seven operating points to solve a homogeneous linear equation system.Case studies demonstrate this proposed method ensures high accuracy across various types of IBRs.Estimation accuracy is satisfying even when non-negligible measurement errors exist.

Impact of Typical Steady-state Conditions and Transient Conditions on Flow Ripple and Its Test Accuracy for Axial Piston Pump

The current research about the flow ripple of axial piston pump mainly focuses on the effect of the structure of parts on the flow ripple. Therein, the structure of parts are usually designed and optimized at rated working conditions. However, the pump usually has to work in large-scale and time-variant working conditions. Therefore, the flow ripple characteristics of pump and analysis for its test accuracy with respect to variant steady-state conditions and transient conditions in a wide range of operating parameters are focused in this paper. First, a simulation model has been constructed, which takes the kinematics of oil film within friction pairs into account for higher accuracy. Afterwards, a test bed which adopts Secondary Source Method is built to verify the model. The simulation and tests results show that the angular position of the piston, corresponding to the position where the peak flow ripple is produced, varies with the different pressure. The pulsating amplitude and pulsation rate of flow ripple increase with the rise of pressure and the variation rate of pressure. For the pump working at a constant speed, the flow pulsation rate decreases dramatically with the increasing speed when the speed is less than 27.78% of the maximum speed, subsequently presents a small decrease tendency with the speed further increasing. With the rise of the variation rate of speed, the pulsating amplitude and pulsation rate of flow ripple increase. As the swash plate angle augments, the pulsating amplitude of flow ripple increases, nevertheless the flow pulsation rate decreases. In contrast with the effect of the variation of pressure, the test accuracy of flow ripple is more sensitive to the variation of speed. It makes the test accuracy above 96.20% available for the pulsating amplitude of pressure deviating within a range of ~6% from the mean pressure. However, with a variation of speed deviating within a range of ±2% from the mean speed, the attainable test accuracy of flow ripple is above 93.07%. The model constructed in this research proposes a method to determine the flow ripple characteristics of pump and its attainable test accuracy under the large-scale and time-variant working conditions. Meanwhile, a discussion about the variation of flow ripple and its obtainable test accuracy with the conditions of the pump working in wide operating ranges is given as well.

VISCOSITY APPROXIMATION METHODS FOR THE SPLIT EQUALITY COMMON FIXED POINT PROBLEM OF QUASI-NONEXPANSIVE OPERATORS

Let H;, H;, H;be real Hilbert spaces, let A : H;→ H;, B : H;→ H;be two bounded linear operators. The split equality common fixed point problem（SECFP） in the infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces introduced by Moudafi（Alternating CQ-algorithm for convex feasibility and split fixed-point problems. Journal of Nonlinear and Convex Analysis）is to find x ∈ F（U）, y ∈ F（T） such that Ax = By,（1）where U : H;→ H;and T : H;→ H;are two nonlinear operators with nonempty fixed point sets F（U） = {x ∈ H;: Ux = x} and F（T） = {x ∈ H;: Tx = x}. Note that,by taking B = I and H;= H;in（1）, we recover the split fixed point problem originally introduced in Censor and Segal. Recently, Moudafi introduced alternating CQ-algorithms and simultaneous iterative algorithms with weak convergence for the SECFP（1） of firmly quasi-nonexpansive operators. In this paper, we introduce two viscosity iterative algorithms for the SECFP（1） governed by the general class of quasi-nonexpansive operators. We prove the strong convergence of algorithms. Our results improve and extend previously discussed related problems and algorithms.

Determination of the diagnostic value of the resazurin reduction assay for evaluating boar semen by receiver operating characteristic analysis

Aim： To assess that metabolic status of spermatozoa could provide a useful tool for evaluation of semen quality. Methods： The accuracy of the spectrophotometric application of the resazurin reduction assay was assessed using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） analysis. Results： Areas under ROC curves （AUC） for motile sperm concentration and sperm index （SI） （sperm concentration multiplied by the square root of percentage sperm motility multiplied by the percentage normal sperm morphology） were 0.922. The best discrimination between poor and good semen samples according to the SI was achieved at a cut-off point of A610 = 0.209, where high sensitivity （94.1%） and specificity （91.7%） were calculated. The assay was less accurate when motile sperm concentration was used as the criterion value, yielding sensitivity of 88.2% and specificity of 87.5%, respectively. Likelihood ratios （LR） indicate that absorbances lower than 0.209 were at least 11.3 times as likely to be found in good semen samples than those in poor according to the SI, whereas in the case of motile sperm concentration, the LR was calculated to be 7.06. Conclusion： These results show that the resazurin reduction assay combined with spectrophotometry is an accurate method of assessing the quality of boar semen.
