A new approach of the automatic contingency selection and ranking with the network flow programming (NFP) is presented in this paper. NFP is adaptable to change the network topology as the transmission or generation branches arc in single or multiple outage. Thus the fast calculation of the contingency states by NFP cm provide the urgent information in real time N- 1 security analysis. In the paper, automatic contingency selection and ranking forP- and Q-type subproblem arc solved by an unified network flow model and algorithm. It is based on the existence of weak coupling between real and reactive quantities in power systems. The performance indices to assess the severity of contingencies are defined as the total real and reactive load required to be curtailed. The proposed ACS technique including the model and its algorithm are examined with IEEE 5-, 14-, 30-, 57- and 118- bus test systems on M-340. And the encouraging results are given in the paper.

An Unsteady Flow Analysis in Gas Transmission Pipeline Based on Theory of Functional Analysis

Branch -like pipeline is a common structure in gas transmission pipeline. In the light of the constituent properties of natural gas branch - like pipeline system, the system can be divided into fundamental constituent units. This paper presents a realistic unsteady flow model consisting of simple models of pipeline units and connecting conditions, boundary conditions and initial condition associated with units by using system analysis method. The solutions in wide sense are obtained by theory of functional analysis and operator series method, Such a method has the properties of both analytical solution and numerical solution methods. When the divided pipeline unit is larger, an intuitive approximate analytical solution may be obtained; while the one is smaller, a more accurate numerical solution may be acquired. Based on this, a general computer program has been developed for this model and solutions have been used successfully in a local natural gas transmission network in Sichuan. It is proved that the model and algorithm proposed in this paper are of the advantages of convenient calculation, high precision, time saving and wide application range by way of analysis and application.

Modeling and Performance Analysis of Unglazed Solar Collector/Regenerator

An analytical model of the unglazed solar collector/regenerator(C/R) was presented. There was an optimum flow rate per unit collector area at normal temperature which led to the maximum evaporation rate. The inlet temperature of absorbent solution and the wind velocity are key parameters to determine the optimum flow rate, in addition, the concentration of solution and solar radiation intensity have obvious effects on the maximum evaporation rate. When the outlet temperature of solution is higher than the inlet temperature, there is not an optimum flow rate, which reflects that the more the flow rate of solution is, the better regeneration efficiency is. With the 2m/s of wind speed, the evaporation rate reaches the peak. In this paper, kinds of factors influencing the performance of solar C/R were evaluated as well.

Changes in Cultivated Land Resources and Grain Potential in Mainland China between 1996 and 2007

Analysis of recent changes in the amount and nature of cultivated land and grain potential, and the impacts of these changes on grain security in mainland China provides vital information for revising and developing strategies regarding protection of cultivated land and national grain security. This study examined changes in the area of cultivated land and in grain potential in agro-ecological zones using the "change rate" method. Agro-ecological subzones were used as the basic units and agro-ecological zones as the research units. We then studied changes for all of mainland China using the "gravity centre model" and analyzed the structural change of cultivated lands in each agro-ecological zone to investigate the changes in detail. The results show that both cultivated land and grain potential in mainland China decreased from 1996 to 2007. The structural and quantitative changes in each zone have caused the shift of the gravity centres of cultivated land and grain potential in mainland China to the northeast. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that natural and economic resources can keep up with this change. Although a large gap remains between the grain potential and the actual grain yield, the rapid loss of grain potential and the direction of change pose great threats to grain security. To ensure comprehensive grain security in China, it is vital to rethink the regional patterns of grain production according to natural conditions without jeopardising cultivated land protection(quantitative and qualitative), and consider the direction of cultivated land use and reconstruction according to local natural conditions, water and soil resources, and the level of economic development, and then work steadily to improve the grain potential.     

A NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING MODEL AND ITS ALGORITHM FOR TRANSMISSION NETWORK PLANNING

The problem of transmission network planning is studied thoroughly by applying the mathmatical optimal tecqhniue in this paper. A novel approach is put forward for computer aided transmission network planning, which is quite different from what is based on D.C. load flow equations. A nonlinear transmission planning model is set up by regarding A.C. load flow equations as the system model. A practical model which can be solved more easily, and an united algorithm are obtained by applying the SUMT to the nonlinear model. The results of some practical examples indicate that this method can not only make the planning results more accurate, but also provide the voltage qualities and produce planning plans autometically and seek the plans optimally and fast.     

Effect of biogas digestate,animal manure and mineral fertilizer application on nitrogen flows in biogas feedstock production

The expansion of biogas feedstock cultivation may affect a number of ecosystem processes and ecosystem services, and temporal and spatial dimensions of its environmental impact are subject to a critical debate. However, there are hardly any comprehensive studies available on the impact of biogas feedstock production on the different components of nitrogen (N) balance. The objectives of the current study were (i) to investigate the short-term effects of crop substrate cultivation on the N flows in terms of a N balance and its components (N fertilization, N deposition, N leaching, NH₃ emission, N₂O emission, N recovery in harvested product) for different cropping systems, N fertilizer types and a wide range of N rate, and (ii) to quantify the N footprint of feedstock production in terms of potential N loss per unit of methane produced. In 2007/08 and 2008/09, two field experiments were conducted at two sites in Northern Germany differing in soil quality, where continuous maize (R1), maize–whole crop wheat followed by Italian ryegrass as a double crop (R2), and maize–grain wheat followed by mustard as a catch crop (R3) were grown on Site 1 (sandy loam), and R1 and a perennial ryegrass ley (R4) at Site 2 (sandy soil rich in organic matter). Crops were supplied with varying amounts of N (0–360 kg N ha⁻¹, ryegrass: 0–480 kg N ha⁻¹) supplied as biogas digestate, cattle slurry, pig slurry or calcium-ammonium nitrate (CAN).Mineral-N fertilization of maize-based rotations resulted in negative N balances at N input for maximum yield (Nopt), with R2 having slightly less negative balances than R1 and R3. In contrast, N balances were close to zero for cattle slurry or digestate treatments. Thus, trade-offs between substrate feedstock production and changes of soil organic matter stocks have to be taken into consideration when evaluating biogas production systems. Nitrogen losses were generally dominated by N leaching, whereas for the organically fertilized perennial ryegrass ley the ammonia emission accounted for the largest proportion. Nitrogen balance of the ryegrass ley at Nopt was close to zero (CAN) or highly positive (cattle slurry, digestate). Nitrogen footprint (NFP) was applied as an eco-efficiency measure of N-loss potential (difference of N input and N recovery) related to the unit methane produced. NFP ranged between −11 and +6 kg N per 1000 m³ methane at Nopt for maize-based rotations, without a significant impact of cropping system or N fertilizer type. However, for perennial ryegrass ley, NFP increased up to 65 kg N per 1000 m³. The loose relation between NFP and observed N losses suggests only limited suitability for NFP.
