SIMULATION OF THE PROCESS OF VIBRATING SUNFLOWER DRYING

This work is devoted to the research and substantiation of the technology of drying sunflower seeds and the development of technological and technical proposals for the creation of drying equipment that would ensure work on this crop, both in seed and food modes. The technological value of sunflower seeds is determined by their oil content. Therefore, it is important to preserve the quantity and quality of oil. Under optimal drying conditions, the oil content in sunflower seeds increases. Therefore, the question of selecting technological equipment for the drying process arises. Analysis of the mechanical and technological parameters of series-produced dryers showed that these machines are mainly intended for the processing of grain crops. The disadvantages of well-known mine grain dryers are low moisture removal during one pass of the material through the dryer, overheating of the seed and a decrease in its quality in the area of contact with the surface of the intake boxes, increased fire hazard. Drum grain dryers when drying sunflower seeds are very fire-hazardous and do not allow obtaining seeds with uniform moisture content, and the use of high-temperature modes leads to a decrease in the sowing qualities of seeds due to overheating. When drying sunflower seeds in recirculation type dryers, it is very important to evenly distribute the seeds over the entire cross-section of the chamber, as well as to prevent the accumulation of oil dust in the heating chamber and to eliminate the ingress of sparks from the furnace into the heating chamber. One of the promising methods of drying bulk materials is the method of drying in a vibrating fluidized bed, which can be achieved on vibrating dryers of various types. A number of experiments were conducted to substantiate the technological and technical proposals for the process of drying sunflower seeds and to determine the operating parameters of the dryer. Based on the results, graphs were constructed. The results of the research proved the expediency and necessity of using vibrating dryers during drying of sunflower seeds. The best parameters of the infrared radiation drying process with a selected wavelength of 1,5-3,0 μm , a sunflower seed layer height of 15 mm, and a heat flow density of IR radiation were found. 5 kW/m 2 , the height of the placement of the IR generator blocks relative to the layer of the irradiated product is 25 mm, while the drying time will be 11 minutes.

Optimal placement and sizing of multiple distributed generators in power distribution networks

The primary objective of power systems is to meet the total power requirement, as well as to retain system reliability and security with the economic operation of the system. In recent years, exponential growth in power demand, lack of investments in up-gradation of electrical infrastructure, shortage in power generation and environmental concerns have been the key factors for unreliable and poor operation of the power systems. To tackle these problems, there is a need to rely on supplementary sources of generation and fortification of transmission capacity. Whereas, installation of large scale new generating units is not economical. An adequate number of small generating units incorporated is a more effective solution to meet the growing power demand. This research work focuses on the enhancement of voltage profiles while curtailing power loss by the optimal sizing and optimal placement of multiple distributed generators (DGs) at different buses. Different types of DG sizing and placement are carried out at 100%, 120% and 140% loading conditions.

Positional effect of vortex generators on the combustion efficiency of the micro combustor fuelled with hydrogen/air mixture

The focus of this study is to explore the effect of vortex generator placement in a planar hydrogen combustor. The optimization of vortex generator placement is crucial for improving combustion efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions in the exhaust by achieving higher combustion. A numerical simulation model was developed using ANSYS- Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes to examine the effect of vortex generators. Vortex generators were placed at four different locations away from the inlet at distances of 0.25 m, 0.30 m, 0.40 m, and 0.60 m such as 0.25S, 0.3S, 0.4S, and 0.6S models, respectively. Parameters such as combustion temperature, mass fraction of H2, mass fraction of H2O, turbulence intensity, and heat of reactions (HOR) were determined. The flow was assumed to be turbulent and steady, with hydrogen and air used as the fuel mixture. Hydrogen was released from the nozzle at a pressure of 300 bar and the velocity of air was 10 m/s. The strategic placement of vortex generators near the air inlet has been shown to have a significant impact on combustion temperatures and mixing, resulting in notable improvements in H2O formation and peak HOR. Furthermore, the utilization of vortex generators has been observed to enhance velocity magnitude and HOR, with the 0.25S model demonstrating the highest HOR values. 0.25S model also exhibited elevated temperatures and turbulent kinetic energy, indicating its potential for achieving optimal combustion efficiency. However, it is crucial to optimize the design and placement of vortex generators to mitigate disturbances in fuel spray patterns and attain the desired performance levels. Overall, these findings strongly suggest that vortex generators represent a promising technology for enhancing combustion efficiency and reducing emissions in planar combustors.

Intermuscular placement and defibrillation with the extravascular ICD: a single-centre experience

Abstract Background Extravascular (EV) implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) with substernal lead have recently proved to be a safe and effective alternative to conventional transvenous (TV) and subcutaneous defibrillators (S-ICD), owing to the possibility to deliver antitachycardia and asystole pacing while saving intravascular hardware. The proposed implantation technique for EV-ICDs is a subcutaneous pocket along the mid axillary line, although an intermuscular ICD placement can potentially reduce the risk of pocket complications, device migration and improve patient comfort and aesthetic outcomes. Purpose exploring the safety and feasibility of extravascular ICDs implantation with a substernal coil and an intermuscular generator placement. Methods Seventeen patients with a class I or IIa ICD indication either for primary (14/17) or secondary (3/17) prevention underwent EV-ICD implantation in our centre as part of the EV ICD Pivotal Study from May 2021 to November 2022. Access and tunnelling along the retrosternal space were performed based on current standard recommendations for EV-ICDs implantation. An intermuscular pocket for generator placement was obtained between the latissimus dorsi and the serratus anterior muscles beyond the left mid-axillary line. Results Mean age, BMI, NYHA class and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were respectively 53±9yrs, 25.3 ±6 kg/m2, 2 ±0.7, and 39±14%. The main aetiology was non ischemic cardiomyopathy (12/17), including 3 arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy patients and one with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The implantation was successful in 16 (6 females) out of 17 patients, with one implant failure due to inadequate sensing (0,5 mV); the median sensing amplitude was 2,3 mV (min = 1,3 mV; max = 5,8 mV), with R1R2 being the final sensing vector chosen for 14/16 and R2-Can for 2/16. Defibrillation Testing (DFT) was performed in all patients: a 15 J shock terminated induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) in 12/16 patients, 20 J terminated VF in 3, a single patient had VF terminated at 30 J. No patient had infection or skin erosion or complained pain/discomfort at the pocket site along an 18±4 months follow-up. Only 1/16 patients had ventricular tachycardia at follow-up, successfully treated by the device. Conclusions Intermuscular placement of the EV ICD may be a feasible and reliable alternative to a subcutaneous one in terms of defibrillation efficacy, enabling patient comfort and aesthetic acceptance in thin-habit or young patients. Additional long-term data and larger patient cohorts are required to confirm its advantage compared to the subcutaneous placement.

Effect of Vortex Generator Placement and Nanofluids on Channel Flow Heat Transfer

In this research, an attempt has been made to enhance the heat transfer for a plate-fin heat exchanger with the new arrangement of classic delta winglets used for vortex generators and compared the same with the existing literature. The computational domains are developed by dislocating delta winglets from their original position, so there is no additional pressure loss with flow geometry. All the flow domains are analyzed by computing the 3D Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations using ANSYS Fluent. Two different working fluids are considered one is water and nanofluids (water with Aluminum oxide). Heat transfer characteristics are analyzed for different placements of winglets for both water and nanofluids. The plate-fin heat exchanger’s performance has been optimized with the optimum location of winglets and nanofluids from the analysis of numerical results. For the case of 0% nanofluids at 300 Reynolds number, Case 3 Nusselt number has been increased by 23.2% with a decrease in pressure drop of 17.7% with the dislocation of one winglet. It represents the enhancement of heat transfer.

New typical power curves generation approach for accurate renewable distributed generation placement in the radial distribution system

<span lang="EN-US">This paper investigates, for the first time, the accuracy of normalized power curves (NPCs), often used to incorporate uncertainties related to wind and solar power generation, when integrating renewable distributed generation (RDG), in the radial distribution system (RDS). In this regard, the present study proposes a comprehensive, simple, and more accurate model, for estimating the expected hourly solar and wind power generation, by adopting a purely probabilistic approach. Actually, in the case of solar RDG, the proposed model allows the calculation of the expected power, without going through a specific probability density function (PDF). The validation of this model is performed through a case study comparing between the classical and the proposed model. The results show that the proposed model generates seasonal NPCs in a less complex and more relevant way compared to the discrete classical model. Furthermore, the margin of error of the classical model for estimating the expected supplied energy is about 12.6% for the photovoltaic (PV) system, and 9% for the wind turbine (WT) system. This introduces an offset of about 10% when calculating the total active losses of the RDS after two RDGs integration.</span>

Optimal placement of time-varying distributed generators by using crow search and black widow - Hybrid optimization

This paper focuses on the optimal reorganization of radial distribution system (RDS) and the superlative location of time-varying power generation distributed generators, considering time-varying loads. The electric generators, utilizing non-conventional energy sources, are directly connected to the distribution grids with lower ratings compared to conventional source-driven generators. In this study, a combination of optimization techniques, such as the black widow and crow search techniques, is employed to enhance performance in terms of optimal reorganization and superlative location of distribution generation. The reorganization problem is examined and analyzed by considering various scenarios in a standard 69-bus grid, as well as in larger-scale 119-bus and 135-bus systems, with and without the presence of distributed generation resources. The analysis of the proposed optimization techniques with the obtained results is well discussed in this paper.

Aesthetic transaxillary subpectoral placement of vagus nerve stimulator in children and young adults: A technical note

IntroductionVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a neuromodulation therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), refractory status epilepticus, and treatment-resistant depression. The lead is tunneled into the subcutaneous space and connected to the generator, which is usually implanted in a subcutaneous pocket below the clavicle. Surgical complications in the chest region include skin breakdown or infection. An alternative approach is to perform a subclavear subpectoral implantation. In our surgical series, we report a new aesthetic implantation method for VNS generators in children and young patients: the transaxillary subpectoral placement. Materials and methodsFrom May 2021 to May 2023, 10 vagus nerve stimulation generators were placed subpectorally with a transaxillary approach by the authors. We considered operative time, surgical complications such as blood loss, infections, device migration, pain, and adverse events at follow-up. ResultsIn this surgical series, we reviewed all cases of subpectoral implantation of VNS generators in children and young adults at our institution in the last 2 years. All patients were treated with subpectoral Sentiva 1000 (Livanova PLC) insertion with axillary access by a neurosurgeon and a pediatric surgeon. The operative time was slightly longer compared to the traditional subcutaneous implant. All generators reported impedances within the optimal range. Blood loss was not significant and no other perioperative complications were reported. Patients and families were highly satisfied with the outcomes in terms of comfort and aesthetic results after surgery and at the last follow-up. No cases of infection occurred, and no malfunctions or displacements of the generator were registered at clinical follow-up. ConclusionThe transaxillary subpectoral placement of theVNS generator is an aesthetic and anatomic approach, which provides several benefits to children and young adults.

On the design and power output response of hydraulic wind turbines

Standard horizontal axis wind turbines typically use gearboxes for large-scale applications and direct coupling for small-scale designs to connect the rotor to the generator. However, gearboxes pose challenges due to their weight, cost, and exposure to dynamic loads and vibrations within the nacelle. A promising alternative is replacing mechanical transmission with a hydrostatic counterpart, offering advantages such as reduced nacelle mass, generator placement at the tower base, and elimination of the gearbox. It can potentially lead to cost savings of up to 20% in the levelized cost of electricity for offshore wind turbines. This study compares regulated hydrostatic transmission with unregulated transmission and damping components under different wind conditions, including atmospheric boundary layer and low-level jet inputs. Dynamic simulations of a horizontal axis wind turbine incorporating a hydrostatic transmission are conducted to evaluate its response to wind fluctuations caused by prevailing wind velocity profiles, atmospheric boundary layer, and low-level jet velocity profiles. Addressing torque fluctuations and power impact on power quality and mechanical components is crucial in wind turbine operation. The proposed hydrostatic transmission includes primary and secondary proportional controllers for adaptability to varying wind speeds, along with integrated accumulators in the high and low-pressure lines. The main findings indicate that the regulated hydrostatic transmission achieves an efficiency range of 69%–75% across various wind velocity profiles, surpassing the unregulated counterpart. It reduces torque fluctuation amplitude by 35% and improves efficiency by nearly 20% compared to the basic transmission. Torque and power fluctuations are also reduced by 35% and 40%. These improvements are attributed to the damping capabilities of the hydrostatic transmission and the actions of the proportional controller. Implementing the regulated hydrostatic transmission offers several technical and economic advantages, including relocating the generator to ground level and achieving continuous hydraulic variable transmissions without the need for a gearbox. The methodology is applicable to a range of wind turbine sizes.

Optimizing Distributed Generation Placement and Sizing in Distribution Systems: A Multi-Objective Analysis of Power Losses, Reliability, and Operational Constraints

The integration of distributed generation (DG) into distribution networks introduces uncertainties that can substantially affect network reliability. It is crucial to implement appropriate measures to maintain reliability parameters within acceptable limits and ensure a stable power supply for consumers. This paper aims to optimize the location, size, and number of DG units to minimize active power losses and improve distribution System (DS) reliability while considering system operational constraints. To achieve this objective, multiple tests are conducted, and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is implemented. The simulation studies are performed using the ETAP software 19.0.1 version, while the PSO algorithm is implemented in MATLAB R2018a. ETAP enables a comprehensive evaluation of the DG system’s performance, providing valuable insights into its effectiveness in reducing power losses and enhancing system reliability. The PSO algorithm in MATLAB ensures accurate optimization, facilitating the identification of the optimal DG unit location and size. This study uses a modified IEEE-13 bus unbalanced radial DS as the test system, assessing the effects of photovoltaic (PV) and wind DG units under various scenarios and penetration levels. The results demonstrate that the optimal DG unit location and size of either a single PV or wind DG unit significantly reduce power losses, improve DS reliability, and enable effective load sharing with the substation. Moreover, this study analyzes the impact of DG unit uncertainty on system performance. The findings underscore the potential of optimized DG integration to enhance DS efficiency and reliability in the presence of renewable energy sources.

Interactive Distribution Expansion and Measurement Planning Considering Controlled Partitioning

To model interactions among system expansion, con-trolled partitioning (CP), and observability, an integrated multi-period framework is developed in this paper for simultaneous planning of distribution systems and measurements with CP con-straints (DSMP-CP) in unbalanced multi-phase networks. The proposed framework, employing the network AC model, is formu-lated as a mixed-integer quadratically-constrained programing problem. This problem minimizes investment costs (including the costs of feeder reinforcement, distributed generation (DG) place-ment, and allocation of micro-phasor measurement units and their measuring channels) and operation costs (including the costs of DG operation, energy purchased from the upstream grid (UG), re-dispatching of DG and UG injections, and energy curtailment). A phase-based observability function is also introduced to ensure the observability of all phases of buses. Furthermore, the concept of zero-injection (ZI) property is proposed for ZI groups considering physical connections and mutual impedances among phases to en-hance observability efficiency and avoid suboptimal solutions. To enhance problem tractability and eliminate linearization errors, a duality-based solution approach is proposed employing an exact-ness loop with recursive re-linearization. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated by testing it on the unbalanced IEEE 111-node and 256-node distribution test systems.

Golden Jackal Algorithm for Optimal Size and Location of Distributed Generation in Unbalanced Distribution Networks

The Golden Jackal Optimization algorithm (GJO) is used in this study to address the problem of optimal placement and sizing of single and multiple distributed generators (DGs) on the IEEE123 test system. The proposed approach attempts to minimize the total power loss of the system while respecting the voltage and power limits. The GJO algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm inspired by the behavior of the golden jackal in the wild. The GJO algorithm is used to find the ideal location and sizing of DGs, and the results are compared with those obtained by other meta-heuristic techniques. According to the simulation results, the GJO method outperforms other metaheuristic algorithms in terms of problem-solving, while satisfying all constraints of the system. The proposed approach also demonstrates the effectiveness of the GJO algorithm in the solution of complex optimization problems in power systems

Research on Combination of Distributed Generation Placement and Dynamic Distribution Network Reconfiguration Based on MIBWOA

This paper aims to address the combination of distributed generation placement and dynamic distribution network reconfiguration. Herein, a multi-strategy multi-objective improved black widow algorithm is proposed. A model is established, which considers the objectives of minimizing active power loss, voltage deviation, and carbon emission. The proposed algorithm significantly enhances the traversal capability and search speed by employing Cubic–Tent chaotic mapping, involving a novel formula with the fusion of optimal genes, and employing an adaptive mutation of Wald mutation and elite reverse learning mixing. The DeepSCN is employed to forecast the distributed generation (DG) output power and distribution network load. Through various test functions, the capability of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated. Whether single-objective or multi-objective, the algorithm has excellent performance. To showcase the practicality and effectiveness of the model and approach, a simulation experiment was performed on the IEEE-33 node configuration. The solution set provided by MIBWOA can reduce active network loss to improve operating efficiency, increase voltage offset to make operation more stable, and reduce carbon emissions to make operation more environmentally friendly. The proposed algorithm shows excellent performance in distributed generation placement and distribution network reconfiguration compared with the comparison algorithms. The results show that the solution proposed by MIBWOA can enhance the real-time operational parameters of the distribution network with considerable efficiency.

Additional coils mitigate elevated defibrillation threshold in right-sided implantable cardioverter defibrillator generator placement: a simulation study.

The standard implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) generator (can) is placed in the left pectoral area; however, in certain circumstances, right-sided cans may be required which may increase defibrillation threshold (DFT) due to suboptimal shock vectors. We aim to quantitatively assess whether the potential increase in DFT of right-sided can configurations may be mitigated by alternate positioning of the right ventricular (RV) shocking coil or adding coils in the superior vena cava (SVC) and coronary sinus (CS). A cohort of CT-derived torso models was used to assess DFT of ICD configurations with right-sided cans and alternate positioning of RV shock coils. Efficacy changes with additional coils in the SVC and CS were evaluated. A right-sided can with an apical RV shock coil significantly increased DFT compared to a left-sided can [19.5 (16.4, 27.1) J vs. 13.3 (11.7, 19.9) J, P < 0.001]. Septal positioning of the RV coil led to a further DFT increase when using a right-sided can [26.7 (18.1, 36.1) J vs. 19.5 (16.4, 27.1) J, P < 0.001], but not a left-sided can [12.1 (8.1, 17.6) J vs. 13.3 (11.7, 19.9) J, P = 0.099). Defibrillation threshold of a right-sided can with apical or septal coil was reduced the most by adding both SVC and CS coils [19.5 (16.4, 27.1) J vs. 6.6 (3.9, 9.9) J, P < 0.001, and 26.7 (18.1, 36.1) J vs. 12.1 (5.7, 13.5) J, P < 0.001]. Right-sided, compared to left-sided, can positioning results in a 50% increase in DFT. For right-sided cans, apical shock coil positioning produces a lower DFT than septal positions. Elevated right-sided can DFTs may be mitigated by utilizing additional coils in SVC and CS.

ID: 213146 Trends in Medicare Reimbursement for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery: 2004-2021

The viability of multidisciplinary movement disorder programs depends heavily on reimbursement for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. Procedures related to DBS include cranial lead insertion, generator placement, microelectrode recording, as well as lead or generator replacements or revisions. These procedures are tied to Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes with associated reimbursement rates maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Though not the sole factor in what is ultimately reimbursed to a facility, annual differences in pricing associated with CPT coding can reflect relative changes to reimbursement rates. The purpose of this study was to evaluate trends in Medicare reimbursement for DBS surgery from 2004-2021 when corrected for inflation.

Single center experience with subcutaneous ICD in combination with previously implanted endocardial or epicardial antibradycardia or cardiac resynchronization devices

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) is an established therapy for prevention of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias (VA). One major drawback of the S-ICD is the lack of antibradycardia pacing. Theroretically the S-ICD can be used in combination with endocardial or epicardial pacemaker (PM), or even cardiac resinchronization (CRT) devices, but recently there are only few case reports available on this topic. Purpose To evaluate the feasibility and safety of concomitant use of endocardial or epicardial PM or CRT devices and S-ICD in a single center patient cohort. Methods Fifty-seven patients underwent S-ICD implantation in our center between 2017 and 2022. Based on individualized decision making-process, six out of these patients underwent the S-ICD implantation without explantation of previuosly implanted transvenous devices, or after epicardial PM or CRT implantation (group 1). The procedural and follow-up data of these patients were compared with data of the other 51 patients (group 2). All patients underwent successful S-ICD screening before implantation. Patients with previously implanted devices were screened either in bipolar pacing mode and either during intrinsic rhythm, if present. S-ICD implantations were performed under general anaesthesia (33 %) or under deep sedation with ultrasound guided regional nerve blocks (66 %) using intermuscular generator placement and two incision technique. Defibrillation threshold test was performed successfully in all the 57 patients. Results All S-ICD implantations were performed successfully without any procedural complications. There were no significant difference between group 1 and group 2 in terms of age (52,3±20 yrs vs. 37,7±18,5 yrs, p=0,75), ejection fraction (49,2±25,6 % vs. 46,5±21 %, p=0,77), procedure duration (57±9,7 min. vs. 52,2±15,5 min., p=0,46), and the mean follow-up duration (20,5±23,6 months vs. 25±18,8 months, p=0,59). During follow-up, one patient in group 1 (17%), and 10 patients in group 2 (19,6 %) experienced adequate ICD therapies due to VA. There were no inadequate ICD therapy in group 1, but eight patients (15,6 %) in group 2 suffered from inadequate ICD shocks caused by T wave oversensing (3/8), atrial fibrillation (2/8) myopotential oversensing (2/8,) and S-ICD lead fracture (1/8). In group 1, no interferences occured between the implanted devices, and no missed S-ICD therapy were observed during induced or spontaeous VA due to pacing artefact oversensing by the S-ICD caused by undersensing of the VA by the pacemakers. Non of the patients in group 2 experienced symptomatic bradycardia required antibradycardia pacing during follow up. Conclusion Based on our observations, S-ICD implantation after previously implanted endocardial or epicardial pacemaker or CRT systems seems feasible and safe. After individualized decision-making, with careful screening and device programming the potential interference between the implanted devices can be prevented.

Development of optimal placement and sizing of FACTS devices in power system integrated with wind power using modified krill herd algorithm

PurposeThis study aims to intend and implement the optimal power flow, where tuning the production cost is done with the inclusion of stochastic wind power and different kinds of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices. Here, the speed with fitness-based krill herd algorithm (SF-KHA) is adopted for deciding the FACTS devices’ optimal sizing and placement integrated with wind power. Here, the modified SF-KHA optimizes the sizing and location of FACTS devices for attaining the minimum average production cost and real power depletions of the system. Especially, the objective includes reserve cost for overestimation, cost of thermal generation of the wind power, direct cost of scheduled wind power and penalty cost for underestimation. The efficiency of the offered method over several popular optimization algorithms has been done, and the comparison over different algorithms establishes proposed KHA algorithm attains the accurate optimal efficiency for all other algorithms.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed FACTS devices-based power system with the integration of wind generators is based on the accurate placement and sizing of FACTS devices for decreasing the actual power loss and total production cost of the power system.FindingsThrough the cost function evaluation of the offered SF-KHA, it was noted that the proposed SF-KHA-based power system had secured 13.04% superior to success history-based adaptive differential evolution, 9.09% enhanced than differential evolution, 11.5% better than artificial bee colony algorithm, 15.2% superior to particle swarm optimization and 9.09% improved than flower pollination algorithm.Originality/valueThe proposed power system with the accurate placement and sizing of FACTS devices and wind generator using the suggested SF-KHA was effective when compared with the conventional algorithm-based power systems.
