dynamic economic load dispatch is one of the most important roles of power generation’s operation and control. it determines the optimal controls of production of generator units with predicted load demand over a certain period of time. economic dispatch at minimum production cost is one of the most important subjects in the power network’s operation, which is a complicated nonlinear constraine...

the graphical technique for nonlinear circuits was described that enable us to optimize circuits to obtain maximum output power, maximum efficiency or minimum intermodulation. according to this method a high power amplifier in the ka band was designed. using a nonlinear model of the transistor, optimum slope for load-line was determined so that maximum power at the output was obtainable, then ...

an irreversible stirling heat pump cycle using ferromagnetic materials as a cyclic working substance is established. the influences of finite-rate heat transfer, heat leak, regeneration time, regenerative lossand the internal irreversibility on the cyclic performance of magnetic heat pumps are taken into account. on the basis of the thermodynamic properties of ferromagnetic materials, the perfo...

We hypothesized that a 10-s rest interval (at zero load) inserted between each load cycle would increase the osteogenic effects of mechanical loading near previously identified thresholds for strain magnitude and cycle numbers. We tested our hypothesis by subjecting the right tibiae of female C57BL/6J mice (16 wk, n = 70) to exogenous mechanical loading within a peri-threshold physiological ran...

The aim of the study was to develop a theoretical indicator of upper limb musculoskeletal load based on repetitive task parameters. As such the dimensionless parameter, Integrated Cycle Load (ICL) was accepted. It expresses upper limb load which occurs during 1 cycle. The indicator is based on a model of a repetitive task, which consists of a model of the upper limb, a model of basic types of u...

This paper proposes an approach for improving the plant efficiency by reducing the heat rejection temperature of power cycle using Kalina Cycle System 11 (KCS11) which is integrated at the steam condenser of a 500 MWe SubC (subcritical) coal-fired power plant. It is modelled by using power plant simulation software ‘Cycle Tempo’ at different plant operating conditions. Results show t...
