The primary aim of this paper is to provide background information, motivation for applications and an exposition to the methodologies employed in the development of fuzzy logic based decision making in hydro or water power engineering by optimum selection of hydro turbine blade material. All the works on the application of multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) or fuzzy logic to material scie...

The natural resources of Himalayas in terms of hydro power generation are not only crucial for the Himalayan states of India, but very important for the whole country. These states seem to be keen in exploiting their vast hydro electricity potential for net revenue earning. However, due to weak geological conditions and steep slopes these rivers carry a huge quantity of sediment with them. The ...

The fossil fuels consumption is rapidly growing due to increased water and electricity demands. An interconnected water-energy nexus is generally composed of thermal power plants, combined potable water and power (CWP) generation units, and desalination only processes. Hence, participation of hydro power plants in electricity generation facilities not only reduces the total fuel consumption of ...

OBJECTIVE Rosa damascena mill L. (R. damascena) is a well-known plant with fragrant effects. Several therapeutic effects of this plant on respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems have been reported. It is also suggested to have beneficial effect on cardiovascular system especially blood pressure regulation. The present study was carried out to evaluate acute cardiovascular effect of hy...

This paper mainly deals with the design of forecasting model for Hydro power generation using Fuzzy time series. The fuzzy time series has recently received an increasing attention because of its capability of dealing with vague and incomplete data. There have been a variety of models developed either to improve forecasting accuracy or reduce computation overhead. This technique has been applie...

In this paper, the hydro power plant model (with penstock-wall elasticity and compressible water column effect) is simulated at random load disturbance variation with output as turbine speed for random gate position as input. The multilayer perceptron neural network (i.e. NNARX) and fused neural network and fuzzy inference system (i.e. ANFIS) for identification of turbine speed as output variab...

Micro-hydro Power Plant (MHPP) is a small-scale power plant that uses hydroelectric as its driving force, such irrigation canals, rivers or natural waterfalls using the height of waterfall (head) and amount water discharge. Yeh Dikis River, Banjar Lebah, Tabanan Regency supporting location for construction Micro Hydro which useful in planning tourism development around river. The results measur...

Eryngium caucasicum Trautv. (Apiaceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant with about one meter height, an endemic species that has been distributed in the northern parts of Iran. The plant leaves are normally used in medicine and food industries in Iran.The plant has several medicinal properties including enforcing generative power, diuretic, lenitive and appetizer. In this research differents par...

The primary goal of the this paper is to summarize field demonstrations of the feasibility of detecting changes in blade and shaft natural frequencies (such as those associated with a blade or shaft crack) on operating machinery using non-contact, nonintrusive measurement methods. This paper primarily addresses the results of application of this nonintrusive torsional vibration sensing to: a la...

A hybrid hydropower power plant is a conventional Hydro-Power Plant (HPP) augmented with Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to decrease the wear of sensitive mechanical components and improve reliability regulation performance plant. central task controlling HPP determining how total setpoint split between BESS hydraulic turbine (power splitting). This paper describes Model Predictive Control...
