The energy generation of a run of river hydropower plant depends upon the flow of river and the variations in the water flow makes the energy production unreliable. This problem is usually solved by constructing a small pond in front of the run of river hydropower plant. However, changes in water level of conventional single pond model results in sags, surges and unpredictable power fluctuations. This work proposes three pond model instead of traditional single pond model. The volume of water in three ponds is volumetrically equivalent to the traditional single pond but it reduces the dependency of the run of river power plant on the flow of river. Moreover, three pond model absorbs the water surges and disturbances more efficiently. The three pond system, modeled as non-linear hydraulic three tank system, is being applied with fuzzy inference system and standard PID based methods for smooth and efficient level regulation. The results of fuzzy inference system are across-the-board improved in terms of regulation and disturbances handling as compared to conventional PID controller.

To enable power supply in rural areas and to exploit clean energy, fully renewable power systems consisting of cascaded run-of-the-river hydropower and volatile energies such as pv and wind are built around the world. In islanded operation mode, the primary and secondary frequency control, i.e., hydro governors and automatic generation control (AGC), are responsible for the frequency stability. However, due to limited water storage capacity of run-of-the-river hydropower and river dynamics constraints, without coordination between the cascaded plants, the traditional AGC with fixed participation factors cannot fully exploit the adjustability of cascaded hydropower. When imbalances between the volatile energy and load occur, load shedding can be inevitable. To address this issue, this paper proposes a coordinated tertiary control approach by jointly considering power system dynamics and the river dynamics that couples the cascaded hydropower plants. The timescales of the power system and river dynamics are very different. To unify the multi-timescale dynamics to establish a model predictive controller that coordinates the cascaded plants, the relation between AGC parameters and turbine discharge over a time interval is approximated by a data-based second-order polynomial surrogate model. The cascaded plants are coordinated by optimising AGC participation factors in a receding-horizon manner, and load shedding is minimised. Simulation of a real-life system with real-time pv data collected on site shows the proposed method significantly reduces load loss under pv volatility.
A system of a systems approach that analyzes energy and water systems simultaneously is called energy-water nexus. Neglecting the interrelationship between energy and water drives vulnerabilities whereby limits on one resource can cause constraints o n the other resource. Power plant energy production directly depends on water availability, and an outage of the power systems will affect the wastewater treatment facility processes. Therefore, it is essential to integrate energy and water planning models. As mathematical energy-water nexus problems are complex, involve many uncertain parameters, and are large-scale, we proposed a novel multi-stage adjustable Fuzzy robust approach that balances the solutions robustness against the budget-constraints. Scenario-based analysis indicates that the proposed approach generates flexible and robust decisions that avoid excessive costs compared to conservative methods.

The occurrence of voltage violations are a major deterrent for absorbing more roof-top solar power to smart Low Voltage Distribution Grids (LVDG). Recent studies have focused on decentralized control methods to solve this problem due to the high comp utational time in performing load flows in centralized control techniques. To address this issue a novel sensitivity matrix is developed to estimate voltages of the network by replacing load flow simulations. In this paper, a Centralized Active, Reactive Power Management System (CARPMS) is proposed to optimally utilize the reactive power capability of smart photo-voltaic inverters with minimal active power curtailment to mitigate the voltage violation problem. The developed sensitivity matrix is able to reduce the time consumed by 48% compared to load flow simulations, enabling near real-time control optimization. Given the large solution space of power systems, a novel two-stage optimization is proposed, where the solution space is narrowed down by a Feasible Region Search (FRS) step, followed by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The performance of the proposed methodology is analyzed in comparison to the load flow method to demonstrate the accuracy and the capability of the optimization algorithm to mitigate voltage violations in near real-time. The deviation of mean voltages of the proposed methodology from load flow method was; 6.5*10^-3 p.u for reactive power control using Q-injection, 1.02*10^-2 p.u for reactive power control using Q-absorption, and 0 p.u for active power curtailment case.
With the continuous development of the petroleum industry, long-distance transportation of oil and gas has been the norm. Due to gravity differentiation in horizontal wells and highly deviated wells (non-vertical wells), the water phase at the bottom of the pipeline will cause scaling and corrosion in the pipeline. Scaling and corrosion will make the transportation process difficult, and transportation costs will be considerably increased. Therefore, the study of the oil-water two-phase flow pattern is of great importance to oil production. In this paper, a fuzzy inference system is used to predict the flow pattern of the fluid, get the prediction result, and compares it with the prediction result of the BP neural network. From the comparison of the results, we found that the prediction results of the fuzzy inference system are more accurate and reliable than the prediction results of the BP neural network. At the same time, it can realize real-time monitoring and has less error control. Experimental results demonstrate that in the entire production logging process of non-vertical wells, the use of a fuzzy inference system to predict fluid flow patterns can greatly save production costs while ensuring the safe operation of production equipment.
This paper addresses the use of data-driven evolving techniques applied to fault prognostics. In such problems, accurate predictions of multiple steps ahead are essential for the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation of a given asset. The fault prog nostics solutions must be able to model the typical nonlinear behavior of the degradation processes of these assets, and be adaptable to each units particularities. In this context, the Evolving Fuzzy Systems (EFSs) are models capable of representing such behaviors, in addition of being able to deal with non-stationary behavior, also present in these problems. Moreover, a methodology to recursively track the models estimation error is presented as a way to quantify uncertainties that are propagated in the long-term predictions. The well-established NASAs Li-ion batteries data set is used to evaluate the models. The experiments indicate that generic EFSs can take advantage of both historical and stream data to estimate the RUL and its uncertainty.
