Water power is a renewable energy which is economically cheap, clean and reliable. Theoretical hydropower resources of China amounted to 680 million kW, the greatest in the world. For the water maintains circulating according to a certain hydrologic cycle continuously and uninterruptedly, the water resources are considered to be a renewable energy. Therefore Hydropower is low cost due to firstly, the energy carried by the water flow is the only energy required for the power generation in the hydropower station. Secondly, the applied equipment is simpler than that of thermal power plant, thus costing less in maintenance and overhaul. If taking the fuel consumption into consideration, the annual operation cost of thermal power plant is 10~15 times higher than that of hydropower plant. Beside hydropower is clean during the course of hydropower generation, neither harmful gas, smoke, dust, ash will nor nuclear pollution will be caused. Hydropower generation has a high efficiency and conventional hydropower plant can make use of 80% water resources, while the heat efficiency of thermal power plant only reaches 30%~50%. In this paper, the study is established in the necessary Engineering development of hydropower plants and hydroelectric generation technology in China. The Chinese model base of hydropower plants features, functions, flow analysis chart and ecologic Issues are also discussed in this paper.

Trickling filters are an attractive wastewater treatment option but the past experience of installing and operating them in Pakistan is not very successful as they have not performed up to the mark. It is, therefore, important to identify the underlying operational problems of trickling filter and resolving them. A pilot scale indigenous maize cobs trickling filter (MCTF) was developed using agricultural waste (Maize cobs) as a biological growth medium to investigate the effect of operational parameters like temperature and organic loadings on the performance of trickling filter operation. The developed MCTF wastewater treatment system was experimented under different organic loadings: 9-21 Kg BOD/m3.d; 9-26 Kg COD/m3.d and a temperature range of 20-43°C during five months of operation. The results indicated that as the organic loadings increased, the removal (%) of BOD and COD decreased for the developed trickling filter. The removal (%) increased with an increase in temperature. The maximum removal (%) was achieved at an organic loading of 12-15 Kg BOD/COD/m3.d and a temperature range of 35-43°C. The main reason of effective BOD and COD removal was rapid development of microbial film (within first two weeks) probably due to the filamentous structure, relatively high specific surface area, and inter-cob voids of the maze cobs. Maize cobs served as an economic, efficient and robust filter media which have better capability to sustain higher organic loadings and temperature fluctuations as compared to other conventional filter media.

High temperature effects on the impact ionization of the n-channel fully depleted (FD) SOI MOSFET are investigated over a wide range of temperature from 300 to the 600 K by using TCAD. In particular, we have studied the current voltage characteristics (Id-Vd and Id-Vg ) , threshold voltage (Vth)and transconductance (gm). By the simulation results, we have analyzed that impact ionization decreases with increasing the temperature and vice versa. Furthermore, we have observed that threshold voltage and transconductance are both inversely proportional to the temperature.

Gryphon as a 5-DOF robot has the ability to emulate the gestures of human arm and hand. It has pivots for rotation around the elbow and wrist. The wrist has two operative pivots, for rotation and elevation. Unlike previous works which concentrate on using WALLI as Gryphon robots own software, in this paper a PC-based and XPC Target’s real-time feature has been used. . Recently, techniques based on metaheuristics of natural computing, mainly evolutionary algorithms (EA), have been successfully applied to a large number of robotic applications. The aim of this paper is to evaluate a modified Biogeography-based Optimization (BBO) approach based on mutation operator to solve the trajectory planning of a Gryphon. Computer simulation results and practical experiments demonstrate that accurate trajectory tracking can be achieved by using the proposed method.

By using large-scale antenna arrays, considerable enhancement in energy and spectral efficiency is accomplished. What will be the optimum number of antennas, active users and transmit power? In single cell consequence Zero Forcing (ZF) processing is used to know how the constraints interact. A conjoint belief is transmitter power is enlarged with large number of antennas that means EE-systems can operate in high Signal to noise ratio systems where interference-suppressing signal processing is mandatory. Systematic and arithmetical results show that, Massive MIMO is the solution to get maximum energy efficiency. A combination of Massive MIMO and Small cell access point is also anticipated to increase the energy proficiency at the UEs, without losing the Quality of Service (QoS). If latter are operator positioned, a spatial soft cell tactic can be used at the multiple transmitters to oblige the users by non-coherent beam forming, overall power ingestion can be diminished without losing QoS restraints.

Dynamic flexible job shop scheduling problems has been one of the important and strongly NP-hard problem of manufacturing systems for many years. Most of the proposed algorithms are based on priority rules; By using these rules, the arrived jobs go to a long queue of waited jobs and sometimes it takes a long time for a job to be processed. In this paper a new approach, integrating of priority rules and genetic algorithm is presented, by decomposition of a dynamic problem to smaller dynamic and static problems. A module converts the queue of dynamic jobs to static, and then a genetic algorithm has been used to improve some objective functions.

The composite insulation system of power transformers consisting of two insulation materials (cellulose and mineral oil) are the main insulation material of power transformer, the increase of moisture will reduce their insulation strength. Moisture equilibrium curves are the basis of power transformer moisture detection, however, the service data and theory analysis both indicate the present curves are not fit for old transformer. Therefore this research work is focused the law and mechanism of the impact of aging on moisture equilibrium of cellulose and mineral oil. In this paper theory of moisture absorption mechanism and impact factors of cellulose and mineral oil are analyzed. The various aged cellulose and mineral oil samples were analysis by thermal aging method. This research work is also analyzed the moisture equilibrium law and mechanism of cellulose and mineral oil, which have been both theoretical significance and applicable potentials.
