A hybrid optimization technique for proficient energy management in smart grid environment

Electrical energy is one of the key components for the development and sustainability of any nation. India is a developing country and blessed with a huge amount of renewable energy resources still there are various remote areas where the grid supply is rarely available. As electrical energy is the basic requirement, therefore it must be taken up on priority to exploit the available renewable energy resources integrated with storage devices like fuel cells and batteries for power generation and help the planners in providing the energy-efficient and alternative solution. This solution will not only meet electricity demand but also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions as a result the efficient, sustainable and eco-friendly solution can be achieved which would contribute a lot to the smart grid environment. In this paper, a modified grey wolf optimizer approach is utilized to develop a hybrid microgrid based on available renewable energy resources considering modern power grid interactions. The proposed approach would be able to provide a robust and efficient microgrid that utilizes solar photovoltaic technology and wind energy conversion system. This approach integrates renewable resources with the meta-heuristic optimization algorithm for optimal dispatch of energy in grid-connected hybrid microgrid system. The proposed approach is mainly aimed to provide the optimal sizing of renewable energy-based microgrids based on the load profile according to time of use. To validate the proposed approach, a comparative study is also conducted through a case study and shows a significant savings of 30.88% and 49.99% of the rolling cost in comparison with fuzzy logic and mixed integer linear programming-based energy management system respectively.     

Commercial farmers’ strategies to control water resources in South Africa: an empirical view of reform

This article shows how large-scale commercial farmers, individually and collectively, are responding to land and water reform processes in the Thukela River basin, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. With a high degree of innovative agency, commercial farmers have effectively executed four strategies, enabling them to adapt and use their access to resources to neutralize multiple water reform efforts that once promised to be catalysts for inclusive change in the post-apartheid era. It is likely that policy alone will not facilitate the envisioned transformation, if local practices are not sufficiently understood and anticipated by the governmental officials charged with the implementation of water reform processes.     

矿产资源供应能力评价的FAHP方法

为了合理地开发和利用资源，提高资源利用效率和矿业发展质量，科学论证与评价矿产资源供应能力，具有重要的理论意义和现实意义。采用定性定量相结合的模糊层次分析法（FAHP），构建了矿产资源的供应能力的评价模型，并以我国2006—2015年钴资源的历史数据为例，将资源禀赋、供需市场、政治环境作为评价准则，通过对评价指标进行分析，得到了钴资源供应能力的评价值均在1以下，并呈现逐年下降趋势。研究结果表明，我国钴资源的供应能力整体偏弱，今后几年钴资源供应能力仍会维持在较低水平。     

招远市金矿资源开发利用调查评价研究

为深入贯彻生态文明思想，促进矿产资源全面节约和高效利用，对招远市展开了金矿矿产资源开发利用水平调查评价，对2018年度数据进行整理和实地核查后，进行了单个矿山评价和多矿山评价，包括矿种评价、地区评价、行业评价。招远市16个矿山实际数据和基准值指标对比显示，单个矿山评价和多矿山评价的达标率均为100%。在此基础上，分析了金矿矿产资源资源开发利用水平调查评价的意义和存在问题。

试论煤炭资源开采安全生产技术

在中国经济发展的过程中,煤炭是最重要的消耗能源,提高煤炭资源的开采水平具有重要的现实意义。近年来,中国开展了各项活动来保证煤炭资源的开采安全,同时还出台了相关的措施来加强对煤炭安全生产的管理,这使得煤炭资源的开采与生产形势开始好转。但是在煤炭开采的过程中,人员的伤亡率仍然比较高,因此,在煤炭资源开采过程中,研发安全的生产技术是十分必要的。     

国际环境不确定下海外采矿权评估研究

在实物期权理论框架下,基于Black-Schole采矿权评估模型,提出了计量国际环境不确定性的方法以及将其纳入评估模型的途径,以此优化完善海外采矿权评估; 通过一实例验证了本文所述方法的可行性,并依据评估结果进一步分析了投资策略,最后对所提方法的可靠性进行了检验。研究结果显示: ① 采矿权价值来自于矿业权人对矿产资源的开采加工及具有灵活经营的权利,国际环境的不确定变化影响采矿权价值及投资策略。② 矿产品价格升高、价格波动率增加、驻在国矿业行业环境和国家环境变异程度的增加、矿山服务年限的增加,均提高了海外采矿权价值; 但矿产品价格下降、矿山服务年限减少将降低采矿权价值。③ 当矿产品价格持续处于低位时,项目应尽早建设或放弃; 而当价格处于增长或高位时,项目可适当推迟建设。④ 老挝矿业行业环境的变异程度大于该国国家环境的变异程度,前往老挝投资的矿企应重点关注该国涉及矿业投资的法律法规及政策,重点防范行业风险。⑤ 本文所提海外采矿权评估方法是可行、可靠的,具有一定实践意义。

Evaluating the role of resilience in reducing economic losses from disasters: A multi-regional analysis of a seaport disruption

Models to estimate economic impacts of disasters have recently been augmented to include resilience. However, most research has incorporated only a limited set of resilience tactics and has not estimated their individual loss reduction effect. We present a comprehensive framework for estimating the relative effects of a broad set of post-disaster resilience tactics. Our methodological innovation is illustrated by adapting the TERM multi-regional CGE model for a seaport disruption, distinguishing inherent resilience working through the price system from adaptive resilience and other inherent tactics to cope with input shortages. We also overcome a path-dependency problem in the modelling process.     

铜渣尾矿制备空心陶瓷微球及其表征

以铜渣尾矿为原料, 利用火焰喷枪熔射法制备空心陶瓷微球, 研究了淬熄距离对陶瓷微球形貌与性能的影响。结果表明, 淬熄距离为400 mm时, 制成的微球粒径分布均匀,直径15~30 μm, 经破碎确认为空心球。成球机理是铜渣尾矿粉末受热逐渐熔化过程中, 发气物质产生气体并合并, 当高温液滴喷射进入水中快速冷却凝固时, 液滴中气体无法逸出, 从而形成空心陶瓷微球。
