COST ESTIMATION OF SMALL HYDRO POWER GENERATIONRajeev Kumar
R. Montanari [4] in his paper presents an original method for finding the most economically advantageous choice for the installation of micro hydroelectric plants. More precisely, the paper that follows is to be considered in a context defined as “problematic” by those who have the job of constructing water-flow plants with only small head and modest flow rates. Traditional plant solutions using Kaplan or Francis type turbines must be rejected because of the high levels of initial investments. Much more simple configurations must be analyzed, such as plants with propeller turbines or Michel–Banki turbines, in order to reduce the investment costs. The general methodology applied provides a powerful decision-making instrument which is able to define the best plant configuration. The method is based on the use of economic profitability indicators, such as the Net Present Value (NPV), calculated using the plant project parameters, the nominal flow rate and head, and the particular hydrologic characteristics of the site, such as the type of distribution, the average value and the standard deviation of the flow rates in the course of water supplying the plant
S.M.H. Hosseinia, F. Forouzbakhshb, M. Rahimpoor [6] in their paper a method to calculate the annual energy has presented, as is the program developed using Excel software. This program analyzes and estimates the most important economic indices of a small hydro power plant using the sensitivity analysis method. Another program, developed by Mat lab software, calculates the reliability indices for a number of units of a small hydro power plant with a specified load duration curve using the Monte Carlo method. Ultimately, comparing the technical, economic and reliability indices will determine the optimal installation capacity of a small hydro power plant.
S.K. Singal and R.P.Saini [9] has presented methodology to determine the correlations for the cost of different components of canal based small hydro power schemes. The cost based on the developed correlations, having different head and capacity, has been compared with the available cost data of the existing hydropower stations. It has been found that these correlations can be used reasonably for the estimation of cost of new canal-based SHP schemes.
Project Cost Management includes the processes involved in planning, estimating, budgeting, and controlling costs so that the project can be completed within the approved budget.
Whenever an engineering economic analysis is performed for a major capital investment, the cost-estimating effort for that analysis should be an integral part of a comprehensive planning and design process requiring the active participation of not only engineering designers but also personnel from marketing, manufacturing, finance, and top management

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
2. CHAPTER 3
Cost-Estimation Techniques
• Whenever an engineering economic analysis is
performed for a major capital investment, the
cost-estimating effort for that analysis should
be an integral part of a comprehensive planning
and design process requiring the active
participation of not only engineering designers
but also personnel from marketing,
manufacturing, finance, and top management.
3. • Results of cost estimating are used for a variety of
purposes, including the following:
1. Providing information used in setting a selling
price for quoting, bidding, or evaluating contracts
2. Determining whether a proposed product can
be made and distributed at a profit (for simplicity,
price = cost + profit)
3. Evaluating how much capital can be justified
for process changes or other improvements
4. Establishing benchmarks for productivity
improvement programs
4. Approaches for Cost Estimating
• There are two fundamental approaches to cost
estimating: the “top-down” approach and the
“bottom-up” approach.
• The top-down approach basically uses historical data
from similar engineering projects to estimate the costs,
revenues, and other data for the current project by
modifying these data for changes.
•
This approach is best used early in the estimating
process when alternatives are still being developed and
refined.
5. • The bottom-up approach is a more detailed
method of cost estimating. This method breaks
down a project into small, manageable units and
estimates their economic consequences.
• These smaller unit costs are added together with
other types of costs to obtain an overall cost
estimate.
• This approach usually works bet when the detail
concerning the desired output (a product or a
service) has been defined and clarified.
6.
7.
8. An Integrated Approach
• An integrated approach to developing the net cash flows for
feasible project alternatives is shown in Figure .
• This integrated approach includes three basic components:
1. Work breakdown structure (WBS) :This is a technique for
explicitly defining, at successive levels of detail, the work
elements of a project and their interrelationships (sometimes
called a work element structure).
2. Cost and revenue structure(classification) :Delineation of
the cost and revenue categories and elements is made for
estimates of cash flows at each level of the WBS.
3. Estimating techniques (models) :Selected mathematical
models are used to estimate the future costs and revenues
during the analysis period.
•
These three basic components, together with integrating
procedural steps, provide an organized approach for
developing the cash flows for the alternatives.
9.
10. • As shown in Figure , the integrated approach begins with a
description of the project in terms of a WBS. WBS is used to
describe the project and each alternative’s unique
characteristics in terms of design, labor, material
requirements,and so on.
• Then these variations in design, resource requirements,
and other characteristics are reflected in the estimated
future costs and revenues (net cash flow) for that
alternative.
•
To estimate future costs and revenues for an alternative,
the perspective (viewpoint) of the cash flow must be
established and an estimating baseline and analysis period
defined.
11. • Normally, cash flows are developed from the
owner’s viewpoint. The net cash flow for an
alternative represents what is estimated to
happen to future revenues and costs from
the perspective being used.
• Therefore, the estimated changes in revenues
and costs associated with an alternative have
to be relative to a baseline that is consistently
used for all the alternatives being compared.
12. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
•
The first basic component in an integrated approach to developing cash flows
is the work breakdown structure (WBS).
• The WBS is a basic tool in project management and is a vital aid in an engineering
economy study.
• The WBS serves as a framework for defining all project work elements and their
interrelationships,
collecting and organizing information, developing relevant cost and revenue data,
and integrating project management activities.
•
Figure shows a diagram of a typical four-level WBS. It is developed from
the top (project level) down in successive levels of detail. The project is divided
into its major work elements (Level 2).
• These major elements are then divided to develop Level 3, and so on. For example,
an automobile (first level of the WBS) can be divided into second-level
components (or work elements) such as the chassis, drive train, and electrical
system.
• Then each second-level component of the WBS can be subdivided further into
third-level elements. This process is continued until the desired detail in the
definition and description of the project or system is achieved.
•
13. •
Different numbering schemes may be used.
• The objectives of numbering are to indicate the
interrelationships of the work elements in the
hierarchy.
• The scheme illustrated in Figure is an
alphanumeric format.
• Another scheme often used is all numeric—Level
1: 1-0; Level 2: 1-1, 1-2, 1-3; Level 3: 1-1-1, 1-1-2,
1-2-1, 1-2-2, 1-3-1, 1-3-2; and so on (i.e., similar
to the organization of this book)..
14.
15.
16.
17. Estimating Techniques (Models)
•
The third basic component of the integrated
approach involves estimating techniques
(models).
• These techniques, together with the detailed cost
and revenue data, are used to develop individual
cash-flow estimates and the overall net cash flow
for each alternative.
18. Indexes
•
Costs and prices vary with time for a number of reasons,
including
(1) technological advances,
(2) availability of labor and materials
(3) inflation.
• An index is a dimensionless number that indicates how a
cost or a price has changed with time (typically escalated)
with respect to a base year.
• Indexes provide a convenient means for developing
present and future cost and price estimates from historical
data.
19. INDEX
Statistical device which summarizes a collection of data(usually related to the price
or quantity of a 'basket' of goods and services) in a single base figure.
This composite figure serves as a benchmark for measuring changes in the price or
quantity data over a period (month, quarter, year).
Usually, the base is assigned an arbitrary value of 100 and all subsequent data is
expressed in relation to this base.
For example, the consumer price index (CPI) of a year might stand at 95 (to indicate a
fall of 5 percent in the prices) or 105 (to indicate an increase of 5 percent in the prices).
20. • An estimate of the cost or selling price of an
item in year n can be obtained by multiplying
the cost or price of the item at an earlier point
in time (year k) by the ratio of the index value
in year n to the index value in year k
•
21.
22. • This Equation is sometimes referred to as the ratio
technique of updating costs and prices.
• Use of this technique allows the cost or potential selling
price of an item to be taken from historical data with a
specified base year and updated with an
index.
• This concept can be applied at the lower levels of a WBS to
estimate the cost of equipment, materials, and labor,
• as well as at the top level of a WBS to estimate
the total project cost of a new facility, bridge, and so on.
23.
24. Power-Sizing Technique
• The power-sizing technique, which is
sometimes referred to as an exponential
model is frequently used for developing
capital investment estimates for industrial
plants and equipment.
• This technique recognizes that cost varies as
some power of the change in capacity or size.
• That is,
25.
26. • The value of the cost-capacity factor will
depend on the type of plant or equipment
being estimated.
• For example, X = 0.68 for nuclear generating
plants and 0.79 for fossil-fuel generating
plants.
27.
28. Sources of Estimating Data
• The information sources useful in cost and revenue
estimating are too numerous to list completely.
• The following four major sources of information are
listed roughly in order of importance
• 1. Accounting records.
2.Other sources within the firm.
3.Sources outside the firm
4.Research and development (R&D)
5.The Internet
29. Accounting records
• Accounting records are a prime source of
information for economic analysis.
• accounting consists of a series of procedures for
keeping a detailed record of monetary
transactions between established categories of
assets.
• Accounting records are a good source of
historical data
30. Other sources within the firm
• The typical firm has a number of people and
records that may be excellent sources of
estimating information.
• Examples of functions within firms that keep
records useful to economic analyses are
engineering, sales, production, quality,
purchasing, and personnel.
31. Sources outside the firm
• There are numerous sources outside the firm
that can provide helpful information.
• The main problem is in determining those
that are most beneficial for particular needs.
• The following is a listing of some commonly
used outside sources:
32. (a) Published information
• Technical directories, buyer indexes, U.S.
government publications, reference books,
and trade journals offer a wealth of
information.
• For instance, Standard and Poor’s Industry
Surveys gives monthly information regarding
key industries.
33. (b) Personal contacts
• are excellent potential sources. Vendors,
salespeople, professional acquaintances,
customers, banks, government agencies,
chambers of commerce, and even competitors
are often willing to furnish needed
information on the basis of a serious and
tactful request.
34. Research and development (R&D)
• If the information is not published and
cannot be obtained by consulting someone,
the only alternative may be to
undertake R&D to generate it. Classic
examples are developing a pilot plant
and undertaking a test market program.
35. The Internet
• can also be a source of cost-estimating data,
though you should assure yourself that the
information is from a reputable source.
• The following Web sites may be useful to you
both professionally and personally.
