This paper proposes a series of parallel optimizations on a high-resolution ocean model, the LASG/IAP Climate System Ocean Model (LICOM), which was independently developed by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The version of LICOM that we used was LICOM 2.1. In order to improve the parallel performance of LICOM, a series of parallel optimization methods were applied. We optimized the parallelization scheme to tackle the problem of load imbalance. Some communication optimizations were implemented, including data packing, the application of the least communication algorithm, and the replacement of communications with calculations. Furthermore, for the calculation procedures, we implemented some mature optimizations and expanded functions in a loop. Additionally, a hybrid of MPI and OpenMP, as well as an asynchronous parallel IO, was used. In this work, the optimized version of LICOM 2.1 was able to achieve a speedup of more than two times compared with the original code. The parallelization scheme optimization and the communication optimization produced considerable improvement in performance in the large-scale parallelization. Meanwhile, the newly optimized LICOM could scale up to 245,760 processor cores. However, for the original version, there was no speedup when scaled up to over 10,000 processor cores. Additionally, the problem of jumpy wall time during the time integration process was also tackled with this optimization. Finally, we conducted a practical simulation from 1993 to 2007 by using the optimized version of LICOM 2.1. The results showed that the mesoscale vortex was well simulated by the model.

When examining the history of wind engineering, it is evident that many full-scale/model test comparisons have found noticeable differences between the results. Although understanding the causes of these differences is important for practical purposes, limited numerical and experimental conditions have often resulted in subjective explanations for full-scale/model test comparisons without scientific validation. To address this issue, this article suggests the use of the computational fluid dynamics technique or the multiple-fan actively controlled wind tunnel technique to quantitatively reveal the adverse effects that impact the reliability of the traditional atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel tests for a large cooling tower, including not only the widely acknowledged influences (Reynolds number effects and turbulent flow characteristics effects) but also the non-stationarity effects that have potential influences. Established on the novel proposition, a new research scheme for future full-scale/model test wind effects comparisons for large cooling towers has been formulated based on the numerical or physical simulations of the sinusoidal flow fields. Using the Pengcheng cooling tower as a case study, the research recognized the very significant impact of Reynolds number effects, the non-stationarity effects that cannot be ignored, and the negligible effects of turbulent flow characteristics.

Transformers, as the hub equipment of the power system, are highly valued by engineering and scientific researchers in production practice and scientific research. The goal of transformer research is to ensure the safe operation of transformers while considering their economic benefits, arrange transformer inspections reasonably to reduce inspection costs, and save labor and maintenance costs reasonably. This study first provides a brief analysis of the life cycle cost of transformers. The life cycle of transformers is divided into initial cost, operating cost, maintenance cost, fault cost, and scrap cost. Based on the distribution of transformer failure rate, the corresponding life cycle cost of transformers is calculated. Taking 110 kV transformers as an example, the differences in the impact of key factors on the full life cycle cost are analyzed to achieve high quality, high reliability, economically optimal equipment procurement.

Nuclear energy is presented as a real option in the face of the current problem of climate change and the need to reduce CO2 emissions. The nuclear reactor design with the greatest global impact throughout history and which has the most ambitious development plans is the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). Thus, a global review of such a reactor design is presented in this paper, utilizing the analysis of (i) technical aspects of the different variants of the PWR design implemented over the past eight years, (ii) the level of implementation of PWR nuclear power plants in the world, and (iii) a life extension scenario and future trends in PWR design based on current research and development (R&D) activity. To develop the second analysis, a statistical study of the implementation of the different PWR variants has been carried out. Such a statistical analysis is based on the operating factor, which represents the relative frequency of reactors operating around the world. The results reflect the hegemony of the western variants in the 300 reactors currently operating, highlighting the North American and French versions. Furthermore, a simulation of a possible scenario of increasing the useful life of operational PWRs up to 60 years has been proposed, seeing that in 2050 the generation capacity of nuclear PWRs power plants will decrease by 50%, and the number of operating reactors by 70%.

With regards to the low degree of digitization, lack of real geological terrain, and low degree of automation in the cutting process of the traditional virtual fully mechanized mining face, we studied the key technologies of virtual operation and cutting path planning of the shearer on the three-dimensional (3D) roof and floor based on the virtual reality engine (Unity3D). Firstly, the virtual 3D coal seam was constructed through the 3D geological coordinate data of the mine. On this basis, the shape function of the scraper conveyor with the adaptive configuration on the floor was constructed to obtain the combined operation of the virtual shearer and the scraper conveyor. The movement of the shearer’s walking and height-adjustment was then, analyzed. A strategy for automatic height-adjustment based on the adjustment of the direction of the drum movement is hence, proposed to control the cutting path of the shearer. Finally, different experimental schemes were simulated in the developed prototype system after which each of the schemes was evaluated using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The results show that the proposed strategy for trajectory control can improve the accuracy and stability of the shearer’s motion trajectory. In Unity3D, the pre-selected schemes and digital and visual planning of coal production are previewed ahead of time, the whole production process can be mapped synchronously in the production process. It is also obtained that the virtual preview and evaluation of the production process can provide some guidance for actual production.

In deep geological disposal system designs, it is important to minimize the installation area for cost effectiveness while satisfying the thermal requirements of the systems. An effective method to reduce the installation area for the systems is to employ an enhanced buffer material, as this can decrease the spacing between the disposal tunnels and deposition holes. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of an enhanced buffer material on the thermal behavior of the systems and their spacing. First, the discrete element method (DEM) was adopted to validate the thermal conductivity of the enhanced buffer material used, which was a mixture of bentonite and graphite. Then, a 3D finite element method (FEM) was conducted to analyze the proper disposal tunnel and hole spacing considering three cases with thermal conductivities values of the buffer as 0.8 W/(m K), 1.0 W/(m K), and 1.2 W/(m K). The results showed that the disposal tunnel and hole spacing could be reduced to 30 m and 6 m, respectively, when the temperature of the buffer surface facing the canister was 100 °C with a thermal conductivity value of approximately 1.2 W/(m K) or if more than 3% of graphite is added.

The use of nanofluids in energy systems allows for increasing efficiency and developing more economic systems. Alumina-water is one of the most common nanofluids used but little information is available about the aqueous theta-phase aluminum oxide. Given the lack of thermal conductivity data for this nanofluid, in this research, this property is experimentally evaluated. Nanofluid is prepared using the two-step method, employing a magnetic stirrer and a sonication bath. A high-precision sensor is employed for measuring thermal conductivity, using the method of transient hot wire. The thermal conductivity measurements for the base fluid (water) are compared with data provided by NIST. Nanoparticle mass fraction in the nanofluid is increased from 1 to 10% and the temperature from 22.1 to 59.3 °C. Three sonication times (1.5, 4 and 16.5 h) are used. A strong dependence between the thermal conductivity and the temperature and nanoparticles concentration has been found, while the sonication time has a negligible influence on the thermal conductivity in the range of times tested. A correlation to obtain the thermal conductivity of the water-based nanofluid using theta-phase aluminum oxide has been developed, including nanoparticle volume concentration and temperature. An excellent agreement is obtained between predicted and experimental data.

In the study of biomass assessment, geospatial modeling-based analysis becomes crucial for the sustainable management of agriculture. Currently, there is no integrated sustainability assessment of the geographic information system (GIS) cluster or suitability analysis for the feedstock of crop residues. In order to fill this research gap and support the strategy of bioenergy formulation with the circular economy concept in agriculture residues in Myanmar, this study aims to assess the energy generation potential and site locations of treatment facilities for crop residue, utilizing the integrated assessment of GIS cluster and suitability modeling. The cluster analysis identifies the rice straw as the highest feedstock of crop residues and township-based high/low clusters. In addition, the electricity generation potential is estimated at 279.14 MW for different clusters of rice straw. Moreover, the suitability analysis in the study uses the conceptual model of variables for constraints and factors with the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique to evaluate the weights. The suitability analysis found high suitability areas of 14,603 hectares for treatment facilities within the high/low cluster of feedstock for rice straw. The multicriteria and GIS integrated assessment model adopted in this research can support the decision-makers in developing spatial-based strategic planning for bioenergy promotion which will support sustainable farming practices in Myanmar. Additionally, the proposed model is adaptable in study areas with similar feedstock.

The use of intelligent algorithms for global solar prediction is an ideal tool for research focused on the use of solar energy. Forecasting solar radiation supports different applications focused on the generation and transport of energy in places where there are no meteorological stations. Different solar radiation prediction techniques have been applied in different time horizons, such as neural networks (ANN) or machine learning (ML), with the latter being the most important. The support vector machine (SVM) is a classification method of the ML that is used to predict solar radiation. To obtain a better accuracy of prediction data, search optimization algorithms (SOA) such as genetic algorithms (GA) and the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) were used to optimize the prediction accuracy by searching the model parameters. This article presents a review of different hybrid SVM models with SOA applied to obtain the best parameters to reduce the prediction error of solar radiation using meteorological variables. Research articles from the last 5 years on solar radiation prediction using SVM models and hybrid SMV optimized models with SOA were studied. The results show that SVM with GA presents a better performance than the classical SVM models using the Radial basis kernel function for prediction parameters.

This paper proposes a series of parallel optimizations on a high-resolution ocean model, the LASG/IAP Climate System Ocean Model (LICOM), which was independently developed by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The version of LICOM that we used was LICOM 2.1. In order to improve the parallel performance of LICOM, a series of parallel optimization methods were applied. We optimized the parallelization scheme to tackle the problem of load imbalance. Some communication optimizations were implemented, including data packing, the application of the least communication algorithm, and the replacement of communications with calculations. Furthermore, for the calculation procedures, we implemented some mature optimizations and expanded functions in a loop. Additionally, a hybrid of MPI and OpenMP, as well as an asynchronous parallel IO, was used. In this work, the optimized version of LICOM 2.1 was able to achieve a speedup of more than two times compared with the original code. The parallelization scheme optimization and the communication optimization produced considerable improvement in performance in the large-scale parallelization. Meanwhile, the newly optimized LICOM could scale up to 245,760 processor cores. However, for the original version, there was no speedup when scaled up to over 10,000 processor cores. Additionally, the problem of jumpy wall time during the time integration process was also tackled with this optimization. Finally, we conducted a practical simulation from 1993 to 2007 by using the optimized version of LICOM 2.1. The results showed that the mesoscale vortex was well simulated by the model.

When examining the history of wind engineering, it is evident that many full-scale/model test comparisons have found noticeable differences between the results. Although understanding the causes of these differences is important for practical purposes, limited numerical and experimental conditions have often resulted in subjective explanations for full-scale/model test comparisons without scientific validation. To address this issue, this article suggests the use of the computational fluid dynamics technique or the multiple-fan actively controlled wind tunnel technique to quantitatively reveal the adverse effects that impact the reliability of the traditional atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel tests for a large cooling tower, including not only the widely acknowledged influences (Reynolds number effects and turbulent flow characteristics effects) but also the non-stationarity effects that have potential influences. Established on the novel proposition, a new research scheme for future full-scale/model test wind effects comparisons for large cooling towers has been formulated based on the numerical or physical simulations of the sinusoidal flow fields. Using the Pengcheng cooling tower as a case study, the research recognized the very significant impact of Reynolds number effects, the non-stationarity effects that cannot be ignored, and the negligible effects of turbulent flow characteristics.

Transformers, as the hub equipment of the power system, are highly valued by engineering and scientific researchers in production practice and scientific research. The goal of transformer research is to ensure the safe operation of transformers while considering their economic benefits, arrange transformer inspections reasonably to reduce inspection costs, and save labor and maintenance costs reasonably. This study first provides a brief analysis of the life cycle cost of transformers. The life cycle of transformers is divided into initial cost, operating cost, maintenance cost, fault cost, and scrap cost. Based on the distribution of transformer failure rate, the corresponding life cycle cost of transformers is calculated. Taking 110 kV transformers as an example, the differences in the impact of key factors on the full life cycle cost are analyzed to achieve high quality, high reliability, economically optimal equipment procurement.

Nuclear energy is presented as a real option in the face of the current problem of climate change and the need to reduce CO2 emissions. The nuclear reactor design with the greatest global impact throughout history and which has the most ambitious development plans is the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). Thus, a global review of such a reactor design is presented in this paper, utilizing the analysis of (i) technical aspects of the different variants of the PWR design implemented over the past eight years, (ii) the level of implementation of PWR nuclear power plants in the world, and (iii) a life extension scenario and future trends in PWR design based on current research and development (R&D) activity. To develop the second analysis, a statistical study of the implementation of the different PWR variants has been carried out. Such a statistical analysis is based on the operating factor, which represents the relative frequency of reactors operating around the world. The results reflect the hegemony of the western variants in the 300 reactors currently operating, highlighting the North American and French versions. Furthermore, a simulation of a possible scenario of increasing the useful life of operational PWRs up to 60 years has been proposed, seeing that in 2050 the generation capacity of nuclear PWRs power plants will decrease by 50%, and the number of operating reactors by 70%.

With regards to the low degree of digitization, lack of real geological terrain, and low degree of automation in the cutting process of the traditional virtual fully mechanized mining face, we studied the key technologies of virtual operation and cutting path planning of the shearer on the three-dimensional (3D) roof and floor based on the virtual reality engine (Unity3D). Firstly, the virtual 3D coal seam was constructed through the 3D geological coordinate data of the mine. On this basis, the shape function of the scraper conveyor with the adaptive configuration on the floor was constructed to obtain the combined operation of the virtual shearer and the scraper conveyor. The movement of the shearer’s walking and height-adjustment was then, analyzed. A strategy for automatic height-adjustment based on the adjustment of the direction of the drum movement is hence, proposed to control the cutting path of the shearer. Finally, different experimental schemes were simulated in the developed prototype system after which each of the schemes was evaluated using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The results show that the proposed strategy for trajectory control can improve the accuracy and stability of the shearer’s motion trajectory. In Unity3D, the pre-selected schemes and digital and visual planning of coal production are previewed ahead of time, the whole production process can be mapped synchronously in the production process. It is also obtained that the virtual preview and evaluation of the production process can provide some guidance for actual production.

In deep geological disposal system designs, it is important to minimize the installation area for cost effectiveness while satisfying the thermal requirements of the systems. An effective method to reduce the installation area for the systems is to employ an enhanced buffer material, as this can decrease the spacing between the disposal tunnels and deposition holes. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of an enhanced buffer material on the thermal behavior of the systems and their spacing. First, the discrete element method (DEM) was adopted to validate the thermal conductivity of the enhanced buffer material used, which was a mixture of bentonite and graphite. Then, a 3D finite element method (FEM) was conducted to analyze the proper disposal tunnel and hole spacing considering three cases with thermal conductivities values of the buffer as 0.8 W/(m K), 1.0 W/(m K), and 1.2 W/(m K). The results showed that the disposal tunnel and hole spacing could be reduced to 30 m and 6 m, respectively, when the temperature of the buffer surface facing the canister was 100 °C with a thermal conductivity value of approximately 1.2 W/(m K) or if more than 3% of graphite is added.

The use of nanofluids in energy systems allows for increasing efficiency and developing more economic systems. Alumina-water is one of the most common nanofluids used but little information is available about the aqueous theta-phase aluminum oxide. Given the lack of thermal conductivity data for this nanofluid, in this research, this property is experimentally evaluated. Nanofluid is prepared using the two-step method, employing a magnetic stirrer and a sonication bath. A high-precision sensor is employed for measuring thermal conductivity, using the method of transient hot wire. The thermal conductivity measurements for the base fluid (water) are compared with data provided by NIST. Nanoparticle mass fraction in the nanofluid is increased from 1 to 10% and the temperature from 22.1 to 59.3 °C. Three sonication times (1.5, 4 and 16.5 h) are used. A strong dependence between the thermal conductivity and the temperature and nanoparticles concentration has been found, while the sonication time has a negligible influence on the thermal conductivity in the range of times tested. A correlation to obtain the thermal conductivity of the water-based nanofluid using theta-phase aluminum oxide has been developed, including nanoparticle volume concentration and temperature. An excellent agreement is obtained between predicted and experimental data.

In the study of biomass assessment, geospatial modeling-based analysis becomes crucial for the sustainable management of agriculture. Currently, there is no integrated sustainability assessment of the geographic information system (GIS) cluster or suitability analysis for the feedstock of crop residues. In order to fill this research gap and support the strategy of bioenergy formulation with the circular economy concept in agriculture residues in Myanmar, this study aims to assess the energy generation potential and site locations of treatment facilities for crop residue, utilizing the integrated assessment of GIS cluster and suitability modeling. The cluster analysis identifies the rice straw as the highest feedstock of crop residues and township-based high/low clusters. In addition, the electricity generation potential is estimated at 279.14 MW for different clusters of rice straw. Moreover, the suitability analysis in the study uses the conceptual model of variables for constraints and factors with the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique to evaluate the weights. The suitability analysis found high suitability areas of 14,603 hectares for treatment facilities within the high/low cluster of feedstock for rice straw. The multicriteria and GIS integrated assessment model adopted in this research can support the decision-makers in developing spatial-based strategic planning for bioenergy promotion which will support sustainable farming practices in Myanmar. Additionally, the proposed model is adaptable in study areas with similar feedstock.

The use of intelligent algorithms for global solar prediction is an ideal tool for research focused on the use of solar energy. Forecasting solar radiation supports different applications focused on the generation and transport of energy in places where there are no meteorological stations. Different solar radiation prediction techniques have been applied in different time horizons, such as neural networks (ANN) or machine learning (ML), with the latter being the most important. The support vector machine (SVM) is a classification method of the ML that is used to predict solar radiation. To obtain a better accuracy of prediction data, search optimization algorithms (SOA) such as genetic algorithms (GA) and the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) were used to optimize the prediction accuracy by searching the model parameters. This article presents a review of different hybrid SVM models with SOA applied to obtain the best parameters to reduce the prediction error of solar radiation using meteorological variables. Research articles from the last 5 years on solar radiation prediction using SVM models and hybrid SMV optimized models with SOA were studied. The results show that SVM with GA presents a better performance than the classical SVM models using the Radial basis kernel function for prediction parameters.
