Energy in Style

Hydro-power is proposed to be one of the most probable renewable energy source which have the potential to replace the use of fossil fuels.Optimal management of hydro power plants are important for maximum utilization of available resources. Geographical Information System(GIS) on the other hand is utilized as a tool which can help in managing any system in the most desirable manner.If GIS is used to manage hydro power plant then maximization of utilization of the power potential can be possible in a cost-efficient manner. The ideas below is an example for doing research in this scope of study.Anyone interested to do research in this aspect can use the following ideas already published in Baipatra. Idea 1: Development of indicator based real time pen stock condition monitoring system by the application of GIS and Cognitive tools Idea 2: Development of a Spatial Predictive Model for Estimation of Flow Rate in Penstock Networks Click here for more details . Beside these...

A new version of our old Baipatra was launched today. The baipatra will start to accept new information from its visitors, Visitors can now share there info,links,publications,field visits etc. with other visitors. Offcourse we will review the post and only if approved the same will be published in the website. Two New Tools were developed today. Climate Change Indicator : A tool to detect whether my place is already under climate change impacts or not. Retention Change Indicator : A tool to evaluate the health of the watershed I am staying.Can it store the same water that it had stored 10 years before ? check both the tool in the new www.baipatra.ws Thanks, Admin www.baipatra.ws

Nature Based Optimization Methods applied in Efficiency Maximization of Cascaded Multi-Reservoir Systems Abstract Nature Based Algorithms like Ant Colony,Bee Colony,Particle Swarm,Genetic Algorithms etc are now widely used in optimization of resource allocation in cascaded multi-reservoir systems. Such systems are constructed worldwide for optimal allocation of resources for hydropower as well as irrigation purposes.The interconnected systems which are useful in providing supply where needed from where the resource is excess and thus utilizing available resources optimally minimizing the wastage. Algorithms like Ant Colony or Bee Colony are popular due to their ability in identifying the mapping that exist between nonlinear variables.In the present study the researchers can optimize inflow and release of water from the reservoirs in such a way that it can minimize the wastage of water from over or under use.As both inflow and outflow are non-linear to each other such pr...

New Research Idea Abstract The selection of ideal conceptual hydrologic model for prediction of surface runoff from any type of watershed is useful for the estimation of future hydrologic conditions of the basin.The predicted runoff is also important for design of hydraulic structure,preparation of watershed management plans ,disaster management etc. related activities.The future runoff will give an idea of future uncertainties that may trouble the watershed and its inhabitants.The hydrologic models which follows the basic physical laws of water balance to estimate the desired output cannot exactly estimate the runoff.There will be some differences with the actual situation and the predicted one.The deviations between the two is allowable but to a certain extent.There are many factors for this deviation.Some models are suitable for some specific types of watersheds.The availability of required dataset is also another important issue.The equalizing constants that are used to linearize...
