Approach to Represent Run-of-River Hydropower Plants in the Short-Term Hydrothermal System Operation Planning by Tiago Norbiato Dos Santos, Andre Luis Marques Marcato, Amanda Pavila Silva

“…However, in short-term planning, such plants must be explicitly modeled with their corresponding reservoirs to properly account for their ability to respond to load fluctuations. This discrepancy can create challenges when coupling mid- and short-term models, as the cost-to-go function lacks forward-looking information on small reservoirs not represented in the mid-term model. …”

Analysis of characteristics of coal fine production and its influence factors in Baode block by MENG Wenhui, ZHANG Wen, WANG Boyang, HAO Shuai, WANG Zebin, PAN Wujie

“…While single gas phase flow is not effective in displacing the coal fine migration and production, two-phase flow with a gas-water ratio of 50∶50 exhibits a stronger ability to carry coal powder. The concentration of coal fine in the produced liquid continued to decline with the increase of the effective stress loaded on the coal, Similarly, the holding pressure at the outlet follows a downward trend, but the displacement pressure difference increases. …”
