Abstract This study presents an avant-garde approach for predicting and optimizing production in tight reservoirs, employing a dual-medium unsteady seepage model specifically fashioned for volumetrically fractured horizontal wells. Traditional models often fail to fully capture the complex dynamics associated with these unconventional reservoirs. In a significant departure from these models, our approach incorporates an initiation pressure gradient and a discrete fracture seepage network, providing a more realistic representation of the seepage process. The model also integrates an enhanced fluid-solid interaction, which allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the fluid-structure interactions in the reservoir. This is achieved through the incorporation of… More >

Abstract Along with the increasing integration of renewable energy generation in AC-DC power networks, investigating the dynamic behaviors of this complex system with a proper equivalent model is significant. This paper presents an equivalent modeling method for the AC-DC power networks with doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind farms to decrease the simulation scale and computational burden. For the AC-DC power networks, the equivalent modeling strategy in accordance with the physical structure simplification is stated. Regarding the DFIG-based wind farms, the equivalent modeling based on the sequential identification of multi-machine parameters using the improved chaotic cuckoo search algorithm (ICCSA) is conducted.… More >

Abstract In order to improve the reliability of power supply, the sophisticated design of the structure of electric cable network has become an important issue for modern urban distribution networks. In this paper, an electric cable path planning model based on heuristic optimization algorithm considering mixed-land scenario is proposed. Firstly, based on different land samples, the kernel density estimation (KDE) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) are used to estimate the construction cost of each unit grid, in order to construct the objective function of comprehensive investment for electric cable loop network. Then, the ant colony optimization (ACO) was improved in… More >
