Simultaneously optimizing the capacity and configuration of biorefineries

Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2018
Abstract Advanced biomass conversion plants can replace fossil resources in the electricity, heat, transportation fuels and chemicals sectors, but they face specific challenges with regard to their economic operation. When choosing a capacity for a biomass conversion plant, economies of scale must be weighed against the transportation costs for the ...

Two-Gaussian excitations model for the glass transition

, 2005
We develop a modified "two-state" model with Gaussian widths for the site energies of both ground and excited states, consistent with expectations for a disordered system. The thermodynamic properties of the system are analyzed in configuration space and

Ergodic Capacity Analysis of Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Dual-Hop Systems

, 2008
This paper presents an analytical characterization of the ergodic capacity of amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO dual-hop relay channels, assuming that the channel state information is available at the destination terminal only.

Fast capacity computation for maze-like configurations

We study the conformal capacity ${\rm cap}(Ω,K)$ where $Ω$ is a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $K$ is a compact connected set in $Ω$. Because the exact numerical value of the capacity is known only in a handful of special cases, it is important to find estimates for the capacity in terms of domain functionals, simpler than the capacity itself ...

A Capacity Configuration Control Strategy to Alleviate Power Fluctuation of Hybrid Energy Storage System Based on Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

Energies, 2019
In view of optimizing the configuration of each unit’s capacity for energy storage in the microgrid system, in order to ensure that the planned energy storage capacity can meet the reasonable operation of the microgrid’s control strategy, the

Design rules for antenna placement on MIMO systems [PDF]

, 2016
In recent works, it is demonstrated that, depending on the different spatial distributions and distance between elements, there exists a different true polarization diversity (TPD) configuration that provides a high improvement in terms of capacity. This

Design and Optimization of Freight Railway Energy Storage Traction System for Time-Sharing Cross-Regional Peak Shaving and Valley Filling

Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao
To address the difficulties in adjusting new energy resources along electrified railways, uneven load distribution, and waste of potential energy in loading and unloading operations after trains arrive at stations, a design optimization strategy is ...

Gas-liquid mass transfer : a comparison of down-and up-pumping axial flow impellers with radial impellers [PDF]

, 2004
The performance of a down- and up-pumping pitched blade turbine and A315 for gas-liquid dispersion and mass transfer was evaluated and then compared with that of Rushton and Scaba turbines in a small laboratory scale vessel.
