oil production optimization is one of the main targets of reservoir management. smart well technology gives the ability of real time oil production optimization. although this technology has many advantages; optimum adjustment or sizing of corresponding valves is still an issue to be solved. in this research, optimum port sizing of inflow control devices (icds) which are passive control valves ...

The energy cost for producing electricity via wave energy converters (WECs) is still not competitive with other renewable energy sources, especially wind energy. It is well known that energy maximising control plays an important role to improve the performance of WECs, allowing the energy conversion to be performed as economically as possible. The control strategies are usually subsequently emp...

The simulation of surgical procedures, in the case of hard tissues such as bone or teeth milling, using a haptic milling surgery simulator requires a haptic device which can provide high stiffness and transparency. To mimic a real milling process of hard tissue, such as for example creating a narrow channel or cavity, the simulator needs to provide force/torque feedback in 5–6 degrees of freedo...

In order to maintain sustainable agriculture, the flow in irrigation systems needs be managed remotely and finely achieve efficient use of water resources. This research develops a measuring device that integrates measurement control precise regulation under remote control. The chooses angular regulating valve as actuation component flow. By experimental study body working characteristics, this...

Air pluviation is a method of preparing laboratory models to carry out many geotechnical experiments. In this study, a new air pluviation device has been developed by the researchers. For laboratory modeling, it is important to calibrate the device using air pluviation to produce accurate specimens with desirable conditions and relative densities. A series of laboratory tests were conducted to ...

Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a protecting device for sensitive loads which compensates grid fluctuations. Although using fault current limiting devices (FCL) method of and electrical networks against short circuits. In recent years, some methods have been proposed to combine these two reduce the cost converters use benefits each simultaneously. A new topology control DVR an FCL presented i...

This research proposes a seawater desalination system driven by photovoltaic and solar thermal energy for remote regions such as islands seaside villages where fresh water is not accessible. The performance of this demonstrated through experiments, the main concerns are output power generation system, quantity, yield, loads under different irradiance temperature. In PLC used controller to adjus...
