End splitting during long products rolling billet quality of rolling processJorge Madias
End splitting occurs because the material being rolled has not enough ductility to withstand the stress to which it is submitted. This may happens for different reasons. Coarse cracks in the billet end, like central or diagonal cracks, weakens the end, particularly when the plane where are located coincides in part with the symmetry plane between rolls. Hot ductility of steel depends on the one hand of their intrinsic features, and on the other hand, on the temperature at which they suffer the stress, and its speed.
It is important to roll the steel within the range of higher ductility at a given deformation speed. This is more critical for steels with inherent low ductility as those containing high sulfur.
The role of MnS stringers is also clear; having S controlled at the lower level of the specification is favorable. Nevertheless it is worth to mention that if caster condition is proper and excessive thermal/mechanical stresses do not arise, very high Mn/S ratio is not necessary.
Bar ends loss temperature faster. Another factor is roll cooling, it has to be correctly oriented, not excessive and keeping the position along the processing time.
In other factors experimental and modeling results are apparently controversial. There is coincidence in the fact that more friction between bar and rolls promotes splitting, but not in factors like roll diameter and reduction.
On the basis of pilot rolling results, plane, box-box, square to round and oval to round passes are favorable to avoid splitting, while oval to square promotes splitting.
Billet defects pinhole and blowhole formation prevention and evolutionJorge Madias
Pin holes as a surface defect, and blow holes as an inner defect, occur in billet / bloom / beam blank casting, particularly for Si-Mn killed steel cast with metering nozzle and oil lubrication. If they are present in abundance or have a large size, they may originate defects in the rolled products. Their characteristics, factors behind their formation, as well as usual processing conditions that promote their occurrence are discussed. Finally, the evolution of these defects during reheating and rolling is analyzed, with industrial examples

Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.

A New Solution to Improve Power Quality of Renewable Energy Sources Smart Gri...iosrjce
This particular article reveals a prototyped interface current control protocol which is ideal for
multilevel converters and it’s utilization with a three-phase cascaded H-bridge inverter. This kind of
administration approach utilizes a discrete-time type of the device to estimate the longer term benefit from the
current for many voltage vectors, as well as decides on the vector which in turn decreases an expense purpose.
A result of the multitude of voltage vectors obtainable in a multilevel inverter, numerous computations are
expected, producing challenging execution with this strategy in a typical control program. A new improved
strategic approach with the demonstration using physical framework as well as Matlab system significantly
decreases the number of computations without influencing the actual system’s effectiveness is suggested.
Experimental outcomes intended for five-level inverters confirm the suggested strategy. Additionally, author
considered the socio-environmental effects occurring due to carbon foot printing as per KYOTO protocol and
demonstrates the implementation of prototype carbon foot printing control sub-protocol for minimization of
carbon foot printing occurring due to microbial fuel cell micro-grid setup. Hence this will help to manage
attitudinal goals to improve electricity resource quality and efficiency.
[Oil & Gas White Paper] Optimizing Pipeline Energy ConsumptionSchneider Electric
Effective energy management can benefit the hydrocarbon pipeline operator. Energy consumption costs – the leading expense for most operators – are rising continuously; however, the commitments needed on the part of the operator often impede implementation of energy-saving practices.
Key to effective energy management is the ability to quantify energy consumption accurately at any specific time and its cost and that of drag reducing agent (DR) use. Operators committed to energy management can implement a real-time, system-wide power optimization solution that evaluates the resource efficiency of a steady-state model of the pipeline. This solution will also perform costing runs of alternative configurations, formulated for the next energy cost rate or other ‘what if’ scenarios, in order to find the most energy-efficient alternative that maintains operational safety and integrity. Implementing these alternatives, the operator can save one percent to five percent of energy costs and reduce carbon emissions.
This advanced information management technology makes these costing considerations so practical they can become a routine, real-time operations process. Putting available information to work with this solution can make power optimization extremely realistic and highly rewarding for the company while supporting overall operational security, safety and environmental stewardship.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

9. EVALUATION OF DSM OPTIONS
As seen from the above, various identified end use
efficiency,DSM measures, offering energy and demand
saving opportunities qualify to be assessed for supply side
impact, benefits and costs,(as cost of saved capacity and
cost of saved energy).The results relate to local utility
attributes and considerations .
These are then compared with alternative, corresponding,
supply (utility) side costs of capacity addition and long
run marginal cost of generation.
Only those options of DSM are shortlisted, which are
cheaper than supply side costs.
To arrive at cost of saved capacity CSC,and cost of saved
energy, following relations, criteria can be adopted.
10. RELATIONS AND CRITERIA…..
» Capital recovery factor (CRF)
= d × (1 + d)n
/ [(1 + d)n
- 1]
where d = utility discount rate & n = measure life
» Total DSM measure cost
= initial cost × [ 1 + (1/(1+d/100)m
) + (1/(1+d/100)2m
+
…...)
where d = utility discount rate & m = device life &
the series includes all terms where exponent is less than
the measure life
» Cost of saved capacity (CSC) Rs/kW or Rs/kVA=
(Total measure cost (Rs))
((Saved capacity kVA or kW × PCF) / (1-TDLF) (CUF))
» Cost of saved energy (CSE) Rs/kWh=
(Total measure cost (Rs) × CRF)
(Annual Energy Savings (kWh))
11. …...RELATIONS AND CRITERIA
T & D loss factor of local HT & EHT segment for measures
relates to HT or EHT segment end use = TDLF (HT)
T & D loss factor of local LT segment for measures relates
to LT segment end use= TDLF (LT)
Capacity utilization factor (CUF)is also PLF of the local
power plants.(A low CUF say in hydro power plants as
against base load thermal plants can influence measure
cost benefits)
Peak Coincidence Factor (PCF), indicates proportion of
the end use equipment actually operational, during system
peak hours.
Utility discount rate, is denoted here as, d.
Each DSM measure cost is assessed for a measure life of 25
years, for parity with considered utility plant life in
account books, and equals the net present value of measure
cost for 25 years of measure life where m is number of
replacements within 25 years, and d is the discount rate.
12. NEXT STEPS IN DSM PROCESS:
Analyze and merit rate each of the choices, where the
cost of saved capacity & cost of saved energy of DSM
measure is less, as compared to cost of capacity
addition and long run marginal cost of
generation(being utility side SSM costs).
Once all the DSM interventions are merit rated, the
logical next step is the development of Detailed
Project Reports and plans for implementation of
short listed DSM interventions, in a programmatic
manner, adopting a standard project management
cycle.
13. ILLUSTRATIVE CASE STUDY OF DSM OPTION EVALUATION…..
(APPLICATION OF LIGHTING VOLTAGE REGULATORS IN
MUNICIPAL WATER PUMP HOUSES)
The Fluorescent tube manufacturers list the rated or nominal
wattage on any given tube as the objective wattage which the tube
should dissipate under prescribed conditions of operation.
The actual wattage, invariably higher, however depends upon
factors such as supply voltage.
A lighting voltage controller operates on the well known principle
that reduction in input power can be achieved by voltage
optimization without significant drop in light output.
A typical device operates by bringing in, an impedance across the
lighting circuit, to control supply voltage and current.
The lighting voltage controllers are modular in configuration and
can be used on lighting circuits and are applicable for Sodium
Vapor and Mercury vapor lamps as well.
Based on end user feedback, Energy Savings of 10% and Demand
Savings of 15% are envisaged through application of the Lighting
Voltage controllers.
14. Lighting System kW Load = 24
PF of Lighting circuit = 0.85
Lighting system kVA Load = 28.2
Hours of annual operation = 8760 (indoor application)
Peak coincidence factor = 1.0
Utility discount rate = 0.09
End User Electricity Cost = Rs.2.46/kWh
Demand Charges = Rs.170/kVA
Capital Recovery factor = 0.102
Transmission and Distribution Loss Factor for HT Industry (TDLF) = 0.3132
Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) = 0.725
Energy Savings (kWh) scope = 10%
Demand Reduction (kVA) scope = 15%
Investment in Rs/kVA rating = 1800
Measure Life, Years = 25 Years
Device life, hours = 100,000
Total Measure Cost = Rs.71,144 ,being initial investment + discounted costs of
future replacements over measure life period
….APPLICATION ANALYSIS RESULTS IN A MUNICIPAL
WATER PUMPING STATION……
15. Present annual energy consumption kWh = 181332
Annual electricity savings, kWh@ 10% = 18133
Annual Demand savings @ 15% = 4 kVA * 12 months
Rupee value of annual electricity (kWh) savings = Rs44608
Rupee worth of annual demand (kVA) savings = Rs8160
Total annual savings = Rs52768
Investment for lighting controller (Rs.1800/KVA*Lighting system kVA Load)
= 50800
Simple Payback Period Years =
(Investment/Rupee value of annual electricity cost savings)
= less than 1 year
…END USER COST BENEFITS…..
16. Cost of Capacity saved (CSC) in Rs/kW=
(Total Measure Cost (Rs.)) / ((kW Capacity Saved*PCF)/ (1-TDLF)(CUF))
= (71144) /((2.4 * 1)/ (1-.3132)( 0.725))
= Rs. 14760 / kW
Cost of Energy Saved (CSE) in Rs. /kWh=
(Total Measure Cost(Rs.)*(CRF)/(Annual Electricity Savings in kWh)
= (71144 * 0.102)/(18133)
= Rs. 0.40 / kWh
The end user simple payback period of less than 1.0 Year, alongside attractive utility side
costs of Rs. 14760 per kW saved capacity ,as against utility side cost of Rs 40,000 per kW of
capacity addition; and, Rs0.40/kWh cost of saved energy, as against Rs 2.00/kWh average
utility cost of supply, render the DSM measure a win-win option.
The state Utility / DISCOM could develop a DSM program for all municipal pump houses
in its coverage area and incentivize stakeholders suitably.
It may be appreciated that a well designed DSM program can address energy efficiency
improvement at macro level, considering all local factors.
Analytics in an iterative manner, for sensitivity factors like peak coincidence factor,
TDLF,CUF, discount rate, can be attempted for customized, localized, program design for
various options.

21. CONCLUSIONS
DSM is a viable, win-win cost effective alternative to SSM.
There is a good case for DISCOMs to develop customized
DSM programs for end users like industry clusters,
agricultural pump sector, municipal water pumping, street
lighting, PSU townships, industrial estates, special
economic zones, commercial buildings etc., due to diffused
yet significant bulk nature of these end user entities and
energy efficiency margins.
•DISCOMs may also consider developing customized DSM
programs, involving distribution upgrades, automation,
kVAh billing, static metering, TOD tariffs etc, to bridge
demand supply gaps efficiently, without revenue losses.
Current crunch times at utilities call for load research
and comprehensive re-visit to various end use segments for
structured DSM program design and implementation,
which could be highly cost effective, as against supply side
capacity augmentation initiatives.
