The main objective is to develop new manufacturing and design techniques for optimization of critical parameters in this type of device, specifically in terms of mechanical and thermal robustness through design improvement and elimination of mechanical elements, weight reduction by topology optimization, and simplification of the design with a ...
In order to implement and maintain the operation of the adjacent DMAs with dynamic topology, a sufficiently accurate hydraulic network model was required to calculate and evaluate optimal control, particularly as multiple control elements were in operation (e.g. both PRVs and dynamic boundary ...
The methodologies usually adopted in water distribution system redesign problems consider the topology of the network as an input fixed datum; optimisation solely allowing for the duplication/substitution of existing components. ...
This paper presents a novel concept of adaptive water distribution networks with dynamically reconfigurable topology for optimal pressure control, leakage management and improved system resilience. ...
As a result of deregulation, increased use of dispersed generation requires revisiting in management and operation of distribution network. Selection of optimal network topology incorporated with the optimal use of dispersed generation and retail market including real and reactive power. ...
Assistance needs after large catastrophes often exceed available resources. Effective resource allocation is paramount to support emergency management and recovery, particularly within infrastructure networks. However, network optimisation problems exhibit high computational complexity, becoming intractable at a global scale. This paper successfully handles complexity through a systems approach, ...
This paper presents an optimised 12-pulse autotransformer-based AC–DC converter with reduced kVA magnetics for reducing the harmonic distortion in AC mains current in a vector-controlled induction motor drive (VCIMD). The proposed AC–DC converter results in elimination of fifth, seventh and 11th harmonics in the supply current. The proposed system consists of an autotransformer and a tuned ...
This paper deals with the power quality improvement of AC mains in Direct Torque-Controlled (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive using active wave shaping techniques. For this purpose, different topologies for active wave shaping of AC mains current in DTC-based PMSM drive such as single- and two-switch boost power factor correction (PFC) AC–DC converter, asymmetrical two-switch ...
