This paper presents an extended model predictive controller for maximizing the absorbed power of a point absorber wave energy converter. Owing to the great influence of controller parameters upon the absorbed power, the optimization of these parameters is carried out for the first time by a firefly algorithm (FA). Error, the difference between output velocity of buoy and input wave speed which leads to power maximization in the optimized MPC is compared with the classical MPC. Simulation results indicate that given the high accuracy and acceptable speed of the algorithm, it can adjust the parameters of the controller to the point where system error decreased effectively and the absorbed energy increased about 4 MW. 相似文献

Several experimental methods have been proposed for consolidation test such as: constant loading rate, constant gradient and
constant rate of strain (CRS). Unfortunately, there are no unique criteria for performing the CRS consolidation test. Also,
there are considerable differences among the standards proposed for the test. In the present paper, authors have tried to
find the reasons for differences among standards, by studying the basic assumptions made on the characteristics of the pore
water flow during consolidation process. In the course of study, CRS consolidation tests were carried out under different
strain rates on remolded samples. The results of the tests have indicated that the Darcy’s law is not valid throughout the
CRS test and therefore, any consolidation equation based on Darcy’s law would not provide accurate results. The results of
the current experiments also showed that with regard to the applied strain rates, there are three different flow regimes governing
the process named as: pre-linear (non-Darcy flow), linear (Darcy flow) and post-linear (non-Darcy flow). Experimental results
also showed that distinction between boundaries of linear and nonlinear flow is possible from the excess pore pressure developed
during the tests. 相似文献

A disproportionate increase or decrease in water table in response to minor water input or drainage is observed in shallow water table conditions inside drainage lysimeters. This increase happens because the capillary fringe of the shallow water table reaches up to or near the surface (Wieringermeer effect). The correlations between water table level changes and rainfall, seepage irrigation, drip irrigation, and drainage were analysed. Correlations with rainfall, seepage irrigation, and drainage were high (R2 ranged from 0·46 to 0·97). Drip irrigation had low correlations due to the low rates of application (R2 ranged from 0·26 to 0·44). Conventional methods of calculating recharge, such as multiplying the specific yield with the water table fluctuations, cannot be used for Wieringermeer effect situations. A method using water balance data and soil moisture at different depths in the lysimeters was developed to estimate recharge and upflux. The recharge results were used to develop the apparent specific yield Sya, which could be used to calculate consequent recharge events from water table fluctuation data. Combining the water table fluctuation relationships developed with the Sya value will allow the prediction of recharge from rainfall and irrigation events without the need for soil moisture equipment.

Assessing the groundwater recharge potential zone and differentiation of the spring catchment area are extremely important to effective management of groundwater systems and protection of water quality. The study area is located in the Saldoran karstic region, western Iran. It is characterized by a high rate of precipitation and recharge via highly permeable fractured karstic formations. Pire-Ghar, Sarabe-Babaheydar and Baghe-rostam are three major karstic springs which drain the Saldoran anticline. The mean discharge rate and electrical conductivity values for these springs were 3, 1.9 and 0.98 m3/s, and 475, 438 and 347 μS/cm, respectively. Geology, hydrogeology and geographical information system (GIS) methods were used to define the catchment areas of the major karstic springs and to map recharge zones in the Saldoran anticline. Seven major influencing factors on groundwater recharge rates (lithology, slope value and aspect, drainage, precipitation, fracture density and karstic domains) were integrated using GIS. Geology maps and field verification were used to determine the weights of factors. The final map was produced to reveal major zones of recharge potential. More than 80 % of the study area is terrain that has a recharge rate of 55–70 % (average 63 %). Evaluating the water budget of Saldoran Mountain showed that the total volume of karst water emerging from the Saldoran karst springs is equal to the total annual recharge on the anticline. Therefore, based on the geological and hydrogeological investigations, the catchment area of the mentioned karst springs includes the whole Saldoran anticline. 相似文献

Physical and chemical characterization of spent oil shale (OS) from El-Lajjun area has been carried out and compared with
the original OS. The spent shale (SS) is subjected to leaching tests to detect the possibilities of heavy metals released
from it into the environment. Standard column leaching experiments have revealed no detectable release of heavy metals to
the percolating water. The effectiveness of the SS in removing Pb2+ from wastewater has been investigated. The SS is very efficient in removing most of Pb2+ where 1 m3 of SS has an efficiency to remove from 64 to 94% of Pb2+ from about 1,300 m3 wastewater sample containing 50 ppm Pb2+. The efficiency decreases substantially with increasing Pb2+ concentration in the wastewater. In real situations, where Pb2+ concentration is very low (i.e., less than 5 ppm), the efficiency of the SS is expected to be 100%. 相似文献

Drainage schemes for salinity management are aimed at lowering the shallow groundwater to help increase production and reduce
ecological risks. Once the groundwater levels are lowered to desired agro-ecological thresholds, the drainage scheme’s operation
needs to be optimised according to the spatio–temporal variation in groundwater dynamics. Groundwater systems can be modelled
if their behaviour is fully known and understood but a key difficulty in optimisation is dealing with non-linear and non-unique
spatio-temporal problems. Such problems can be optimised using genetic algorithms (GA) aimed at finding near optimal solutions
to highly non-linear optimisation problems. The major advantages of GAs are their broad applicability, flexibility and their
ability to find solutions with relatively modest computational requirements. A surface water/groundwater interaction model
has been developed in conjunction with GA based spatio-temporal optimisation of pumping operation of a subsurface drainage
scheme. The aim has been to achieve a similar or better than on-going level of service both in space and time domains. The
Wakool Tullakool Subsurface Drainage Scheme in the Murray Irrigation Area, Australia is discussed to illustrate the modelling
process. The model results are being used to plan the cost-effective operation of the tubewells to control water logging and
salinisation. 相似文献

This study strives to outline a geostatistics model for estimation and simulation of the Qolqoleh gold ore deposit located in Saqqez, NW of Iran. Considering that this gold deposit contains high-grade values, accurate evaluation of such values is of high importance, and therefore different methods based on indicator values, such as full indicator kriging (FIK) and sequential indicator simulation (SIS), have been employed to improve the accuracy of estimation and simulation of high-grade values. FIK and SIS cover the full range of grades based on several thresholds on the indicator data. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) is typically used for selection of threshold values. Given the highly skewed distribution of gold grade and its intense fluctuations, the number of thresholds is increased using CDF, which in turn results in a whole lot of calculations. To reduce the volume of calculations, the number–size (N–S) fractal model has been used to select thresholds. From such a model, all optimal thresholds are chosen with respect to geology and the unnecessary thresholds are excluded from selection. Thus, a study of the selection of optimal thresholds for estimation and simulation of a gold ore resource by means of FIK and SIS, respectively, based on thresholds selected using the N–S fractal model is presented. Finally, it is proved that results of these geostatistical methods based on thresholds selection from the N–S model appear to be better-positioned to explain ore grade variability compared to thresholds selected from the CDF and threshold selection from the N–S model is more effective for reducing the volume of required calculations. 相似文献

High-resolution precipitation datasets are used for numerous applications. However, depending on the procedures for obtaining these products, such as number of observations, quality checking, error-correction procedures, and interpolation techniques, they include many uncertainties. Therefore, the accuracy of these products needs to be evaluated over different regions. In this study, the Iranian National Dataset (INDS), a new 1?×?1 km precipitation dataset based on precipitation data of 1,441 quality-controlled stations for the climatic period from 1961 to 2005, was constructed using the digital elevation model, correlation method, and Kriging interpolation procedure. Iran's annual precipitation values at grids and stations were extracted from Climatic Research Unit (CRU) CL 2.0, CRU TS 3.10.01, and WorldClim datasets, and differences between corresponding values in each of the three datasets and INDS were calculated and analyzed. The coefficient of determination (R 2) between the national network stations' data and the CRU CL 2.0, CRU TS 3.10.01, and WorldClim datasets were 0.50, 0.13, and 0.62, respectively. Moreover, R 2 values between the grids of each dataset and INDS were 0.51, 0.40, and 0.60, respectively. To determine the global datasets' efficiency for displaying temporal patterns of precipitation, the monthly values gathered from them at 11 stations (as representative of Iran's various precipitation regimes) were compared with the real values at these stations. The results showed that in term of temporal patterns, the concurrences among the three global datasets and the INDS was more acceptable, especially in the case of CRU CL 2.0. In general, it is concluded that the global datasets could be deployed for the primary assessment of the annual precipitation distribution; however, for more precise studies, use of local data is highly recommended. 相似文献
