I started to use Arc Hydro tools' version of ArcGis 10.8 to perform the fill sinks step. I have made several attempts to complete the steps, but always displays a message saying there is a problem. If you have answers.
Relevant answer
Answer
If you are having trouble using the Arc Hydro tools in ArcGIS 10.8 to perform the fill sinks step, there are several potential causes and solutions you can try:
  1. Check your input data: Make sure that your input data is properly formatted and that all required fields are present and correctly populated. For example, if you are using a digital elevation model (DEM) as input, make sure that it is in a supported format and that the pixel values are elevation values, not other data types.
  2. Check your tool settings: Double-check the settings you are using in the Fill Sinks tool to make sure that they are appropriate for your data and the analysis you are trying to perform. For example, make sure that the correct flow direction grid is specified, that the correct elevation units are selected, and that the correct output format is chosen.
  3. Check for errors or warnings: Look for any error or warning messages that are displayed during the Fill Sinks step. These messages can often provide clues as to what is causing the problem and how to fix it. For example, an error message might indicate that the input data is in the wrong format, or that there is insufficient memory to complete the operation.
  4. Check your system resources: Make sure that your computer has sufficient resources to run the Arc Hydro tools and perform the Fill Sinks step. This includes having enough free disk space, sufficient memory, and a fast enough processor.
  5. Contact Esri Support: If you have tried the above steps and are still having trouble, you can contact Esri Support for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide guidance on how to resolve it.
By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve any issues you are experiencing with the Arc Hydro tools in ArcGIS 10.8.

why the series compensated transmission lines connected to hydro power stations don't face the problem of subsynchronous resonance but the series compensated transmission lines connected to thermal or nuclear power stations or wind power stations faces the problem of subsynchronous resonance ?
Relevant answer
Answer
Series compensated transmission lines that are connected to hydroelectric power stations typically do not experience the problem of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) for several reasons.
First, series compensation (the use of capacitors or reactors in series with the transmission line) can help to stabilize the transmission line and reduce the risk of SSR. Series compensation can reduce the line impedance and increase the system damping, which can help to suppress the oscillations that can lead to SSR.
Second, hydroelectric power stations typically have relatively low inertia and fast-acting governors, which can help to dampen oscillations and reduce the risk of SSR. The governors of hydroelectric power stations can quickly respond to changes in system frequency and adjust the power output of the station accordingly, which can help to stabilize the system and prevent the development of oscillations.
Finally, hydroelectric power stations are typically operated in a load-following mode, which means that they can adjust their power output in response to changes in demand. This can help to dampen oscillations and reduce the risk of SSR, as the system frequency is less likely to be disturbed by changes in load.
Overall, the combination of series compensation, low inertia, and load-following operation can help to reduce the risk of SSR in transmission lines connected to hydroelectric power stations.

I was studying about the main technical issues regarding the control of large scale electrical grid level water turbines. I came across an article which states that control structures of hydro turbines have been more or less the same for sometime now. Is it because we have already solved the major technical issues already, or are there still some major technical limitations regarding hydro turbine in case of large scale electrical grid implementation that are being researched on?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hydro power has been around for about 150 years, so pretty much we can say that the power system has been built around them. In addition, the "if something is working don't touch it" principle is quite appropriate in this case as well. The only issues (I am aware of) that have arose lately are regarding frequency provision capabilities. While hydro is an excellent source of frequency provision in systems with high inertia they are quite limited in fast frequency response (FFR) terms, due to their non-minimum phase characteristic.
For instance, they are about to be disqualified in the Nordic system due to their slow and initial negative response. Solutions from the industry are coming in the form of hybridization with batteries and other renewables. I believe this work will concern also micro- and mini-grid related research in the near future.

Dear colleagues,
I have some Raman spectra that puzzle me - we did some coating with a hexane-Ar plasma on glass. Thus, I think the films are surely (hydro)carbon films. The Raman spectra we took show only three peaks (so, the glass substrate is neatly covered). My problem now is that I have troubles identifying these peaks, except for the one at 1344 /cm, which is the first order D peak of graphite in my opinion. But there are two more peaks, a quite sharp one at 1541 /cm and a broad one at 2853 /cm. The only value I could find in the literature so far for the former one would be single carbon nano tubes but this is not supported by SEM microscopy and for the latter one I have no clue. Maybe some Raman expert could help me with the identifaction. I attached a spectrum to have a look. The parameters of the measurement were: 1.6 mW Laser power at 532 nm.

Question

Dear all,
I have written a paper about predicting the separation efficiency of hydro-cyclone separators by means of machine learning algorithms. To this end, I have collected 4000 single data comprised of 14 inputs (14 features of hydrocyclone separator), and one target (separation efficiency).
I have been asked by the journal to include an analysis into the computational complexity of applied algorithms (ANFIS, MLP, LSSVM, RBF), in terms of either run-time or big-o-notation. However, as I understand, the run time must increase commensurately by increment in the size of data (or size of inputs). But, strangely I have found out that by the increase in data size, the run-time for the respective models reduces dramatically. So, I am left puzzled how to report this, cuz as far as I know the big-o-notation diagrams cannot have a negative slope (the reduction of runtime by the increase in data size).
From an engineering point of view, this can be justified by bearing in mind that the algorithms can better recognize the target when higher characteristics of hydro cyclones (inputs) are fed. But, this remains as a paradox analyzing it through AI engineering.
I appreciate it if you help me out with this matter
thanks
Relevant answer
Answer
Thanks Mr Allen,
I understand your point,
So, in conclusion, big o notation is working once all the features are given, and the data samples vary.
Say, if the features are sorted in different rows and samples are given through columns, increasing the columns each time can be used for big o notation.
Anyway, I don't want to dwell on the big o notation primarily, cuz i believe it fails to understand my case as it's discussing the runtime versus features.
I have clarified the results in a detail manner in my paper, and i linked the plunge in runtime by increase in data features to the complexity of the structure (hydrocyclone) itself, and the easiness of models in comprehending the target under bigger number of given inputs.
Thanks for your time

We would like to use a Dimethyl polysiloxane dispersing medium in the Malvern 3000 Hydro MV sample preparation. During use, we find that the background is very difficult to adjust and the bubbles formed interfere with the measurement. Could you suggest something?
Stirring was reduced, which helped, but even so, the first two signals fluctuate and the background is inadequate.
Relevant answer
Answer
Viscous liquids are difficult to use on both MS2000 and MS3000, as entrapped air/bubbles are difficult to remove, and thermal equilibrium may be more difficult to achieve. First, to avoid bubbles, we add the liquid when the stirrer/pump is stopped, then slowly increase the speed. Prior degassing of the liquid, by stirring under vacuum while slightly heating, as USP dissolution media, may also help.
Next, there is a higher power demand and thermal dissipation at the level of dispersion units is more important when using viscous liquids, which has an impact on the thermal equilibrium of the system. For this reason, at lower stir and pump speeds, they may work better from point of view of Background stability and cosnequently less prone to thermal artefacts.
If possible, avoid using viscous liquids as dispersant.

Relevant answer
Answer
There is no correct answer to this question. It depends on how much risk the stakeholders running the different types of power plants are willing to take and/or if there are any regulations in place that require certain level of protection to be put in place.
For example, hydropower is often generated via the construction of a large dam. The general safety standard for high hazard dams, (i.e. dams with people living downstream of them) is that they should safely pass the
Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). The PMF is is the theoretically largest flood resulting from a combination of the most severe meteorological and hydrological conditions that could conceivably occur in the catchment upstream of the dam. This paper entitles "Risk analysis for dam safety evaluation gives some details (see: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.179.2568&rep=rep1&type=pdf).
With regards to nuclear power plants these regulatory guides from the US published in 1975 and 1976 give some idea as to what was planned for at that time in terms of floods (see: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1335/ML13350A290.pdf and https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0037/ML003740308.pdf). For nuclear power plant safety risk assessments, flood estimates are needed for return periods of up to 1 million
years (i.e. exceedance probability of 1 in a million) or even the PMF and Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) for surface water flooding. This site maybe of interest: https://allthingsnuclear.org/dlochbaum/flooding-at-the-nuclear-plant. In India it looks like they use the PMF and PMP see: https://www.aerb.gov.in/storage/uploads/documents/regdoc6pLGP.pdf
This updated document for the US is also worth looking at: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1132/ML11321A195.pdf

Much is said about the integration of renewable non-conventional sources. But does this improve the demand profile?
Relevant answer
Answer
According to my studies, it's the best integration of Renewables ( Solar PV or WInd) generations systems with the conventional generation systems like the Hydropower and Thermal Power generations systems. Because the Renewables have the intermittent characteristics that can be compensated with the stable generation-powers from the Hydropower and Thermal power.
This integration could be a feasible option with different beneficial features of the Renewables. For example, in the summer, the Solar PV system can generate the large capacity; in the rainy season, the Hydropower and Wind systems can generate large capacities.

i do not know specifics of your country and topography, but Google Earth suggested major rivers were braided, an indicator of excessive sediment, and low gradient. Gravity water wheels have advantages in their ability to work in lower gradients with excess sediment to pass, less environmental impacts when compared to dams, and generally allow aquatic passage.
Areas with high gradient and low sediment loading may have great potential if small dams or pump storage is desired to help with peaking demand. Headwaters generally best to limit aquatic passage impacts, but remoteness adds other challenges such as transmission to areas of demand.

Among the various conventional sources, hydro-electricity is a source of reliable and flexible energy. PHES is the world’s largest energy storage system, representing more than 90% of installed storage capacity worldwide. PHES plants serve the grid in wide range of applications as a source of flexibility.
Some of the major applications of pumped storage hydro plants could be peak shaving, load balancing, frequency regulation, back-up reserve, spinning reserve, quick start capability, black-start capability and voltage support etc. Ramping capability is a major indicator of flexibility available from a generating station. Despite hydropower’s seasonal nature, the flexibility viz. overload capability, fast ramping & peaking support etc. rendered by hydro generators has immense value for balancing of grid and for reliable, secure and economic grid operation. Its ability to run as a synchronous condenser also helps significantly in managing reactive power imbalance & controlling voltage, thereby ensuring power quality & voltage stability.
In view of all such capabilties PHES could be a very good candidate to support RE integration and grid balancing.
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes Dr Deb, I cannot agree with you more to what you have said. Of-course there may be numerous reasons towards pushing RE into the Indian Grid, however from a grid operators’ experience what I can state confidently is that in addition to address sustainability angle, it has brought a number of supporting measures to the Grid, which were pending since long and were not moving.
Regarding the other compulsions, like storage etc., though lot of discussions/ advocacies may be there, however I feel that so far Indian Utilities have moved with caution and the first grid connected 10 MW capacity battery storage plant has been brought only very recently by Tata’s in Delhi (under NDPL) . On the other hand, under the compulsion of Renewables, the different grid friendly actions, which have been pushed and realised include, enhancing flexibility of thermal generation by bringing the minimum operating level up to 50%, instead of 70-80% earlier, allowing RRAS in the grid by regulators - which were pending since long and bringing the renewables under scheduling domain. It is only due to all above measures, that no sustained spillage/rejection of RE has been observed so far, without having any major expenditure towards the expansive solutions like storage etc.
However one another thing what we have to consider particularly with reference to Indian Grid is that such a large interconnected/synchronous grid is being operated and frequency and other parameters are being maintained in such a close range, without having certain basics in place, like primary and secondary controls in the system. Hence when there is a talk of storage systems etc. in the grid, solely it may not be due to the reasons of renewables, but taking into consideration all above situations in the grid. However as in the face of Renewables, getting anything pushed/implemented is relatively softer, the newer actions like addition of storage etc. are ovbiously/conveniently linked with renewables.

These limits represent the minimum acceptable time period, hence the required and more acceptable could be longer. This is due the relation between time and material failure.

Landfill site selection is one of the most important tasks for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Management planners. Rajshahi is considered to be one of the most growing cities with enormous potentialities to physical and environmental development. The city has taken over air pollution, and it should now shift their focus on preparing to face the consequences of rapid urban growth. With completely unorganized solid waste management even after the absence of industries and mega industries, the city surely has a chance of collapsing in the time of any large development movement. To encounter the potential risk, we are trying to identify the suitable place to dispose of Metropolitan Solid Waste in Rajshahi Metropolitan area with the combination of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) considering Environmental, Technical and Social factors. In order to select suitable site for landfill several important criteria, such as geology/hydro geology, land use, slope, aspect and distance from settlements, surface water body, roads, railway, streams, and protected areas were chosen according to standards and regulations.
Do you think there are any other effective elements that can be added to this list?

We have the Mastersizer 3000 with a Hydro MV dispersion unit. My emulsion is with sunflower oil but I don't want to use it as a dispersant so i'm looking for an oil with similar properties. I tried mineral oil however I feel it is too viscous. When I empty the dispersion unit the oil still stays in the tubes and the measuring unit which makes it very difficult to clean between samples. Any ideas how to solve this? Thank you
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Naama,
I would stick to sunflower oil as dispersant. If you select another oil the water in your emulsion may start redistributing in case its solubility is higher. For emulsions it is wise to keep the continuous phase the same when diluting, esspecially or particle size analysis. One trick to clean your dispersing unit easier, is to check if you can use something like 'white spirit' to rinse. It mixes well with oils, is low viscous and generally pretty cheap and widely available. You may need to ask your Malvern representative if tubings and seals in your dispersing unit can withstand white spirit.

Question

There is a hydro plant upstream and a downstream power plant. The discharge of the upstream plant was decided to be increased from 40-70m3/s, meanwhile the downstream plant is completely dependent of the upstream plant ( the former has no own reservoir). So, the upstream plant provides a short-term regulation for the downstream plant, the downstream plant has a max discharge of 45m3/s. So, in case we increase the discharge at the upstream plant we will have around 70-45=25m3/s water spillafe because of no short-term regulation downstream. Those 25m3/s will be spilled 6 hours per day so 25*6= 150m3/s (1,8GWh production loss in a year) per day spillage downstream. The question is how to calculate the monetary value of that spillage? Do I just need to mulptiply those 1,8GWh by the average power price?
Relevant answer
Answer
You need to multiply the frequency of occurrence of the spillage event times the consequence should the spillage occur.
The consequence can be expressed in monetary term using the GWh times the average cost of power, say in dollars per GWh.
Note the frequency of occurrence of the spillage events is just the annual probability.
Hope this helps answer your question and good luck!
