The aim of this paper is to present short-term hydrothermal scheduling (STHS) of power system. This problem is solved in such a way that utilizes available hydro reserves optimally and thus minimizes the fuel cost of thermal plants. A PSO based method is developed which can efficiently deals with hydro constraints like reservoir storage volume limits, water discharge rate limits, water dynamic ...

It is generally acknowledged that a hanging cantilevered pipe conveying fluid becomes unstable by flutter-type instability at critical flow velocity; moreover, the undergoes periodic self-excited oscillations in post-flutter region. Additionally, velocity increases when magnetized exposed to an actuating parallel magnetic field. The question arises as whether field leads lessening oscillation a...

How multiple stressors influence fish stock dynamics is a crucial question in ecology in general and in fisheries science in particular. Using time-series covering a 30 yr period, we show that the body growth of the central Baltic Sea herring Clupea harengus, both in terms of condition and weight-at-age (WAA), has shifted from being mainly driven by hydro-climatic forces to an interspecific den...

Many natural examples of complex joint and vein networks in layered sedimentary rocks are hydro-fractures that form by a combination of pore fluid overpressure and tectonic stresses. In this paper, a two-dimensional hybrid hydro-mechanical formulation is proposed to model the dynamic development of natural hydrofractures. The numerical scheme combines a Discrete Element Model (DEM) framework th...

A variety of approximate schemes for modelling the low-density Intergalactic Medium (IGM) in the high-redshift Universe is compared to the results of a large high-resolution hydro-dynamical simulation. These schemes use either an analytical description of the dark matter distribution and the IGM or numerical simulations of the DM distributions combined with different approximate relations betwe...

In this paper, automatic generation control (AGC) of two area interconnected power system having diverse sources of power generation is studied. A two area power system comprises power generations from hydro, thermal and gas sources in area-1 and power generations from hydro and thermal sources in area-2. All the power generation units from different sources are equipped with speed governors. A...

The hydro turbine dynamics have a considerable influence on the dynamic stability of power system. In the study of dynamic stability, the system is modeled by the linear differential equations (small  signal analysis). Small signal stability of power systems is needed in all conditions and only is dependent on the conditions of power system performance before commotion occurrence. This paper pr...

Many countries have targeted a gradual transition towards 100% green generation; however, there is uncertainty concerning the economic and social consequences of such transition. The main technologies that been implemented are hydro, wind solar. latter two could cause an increase in electricity prices due to mismatch between demand supply. This paper uses system dynamics approach analyze proces...

In this study, cavitation flow around a hydrofoil and its radiated hydro-acoustic fields were numerically investigated, with an emphasis on the effects of viscous flux vectors. The full three-dimensional unsteady compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations were numerically solved. The mass transfer model was adopted to model phase changes between liquid water and vapor. To resolve th...
