Well testing analysis is performed for detecting oil and gas reservoir model and estimating its associated parameters from pressure transient data which are often recorded by pressure down-hole gauges (PDG). The PDGs can record a huge amount of bottom-hole pressure data, limited computer resources for analysis and handling of these noisy data are some of the challenging problems for the PDGs monitoring. Therefore, reducing the number of the recorded data by PDGs to a manageable size is an important step in well test analysis. In the present study, a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is employed for reducing the amount of long-term reservoir pressure data obtained for eight different reservoir models. Then, a multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) is developed to recognize reservoir models using the reduced pressure data. The developed algorithm has four steps: (1) generating pressure over time data (2) converting the generated data to log-log pressure derivative (PD) graphs (3) calculating of the multi-level discrete wavelet coefficient (DWC) of the PD graphs and (4) using the approximate wavelet coefficients as the inputs of a MLPNN classifier. Sensitivity analysis confirms that the most accurate reservoir model predictions are obtained by the MLPNN with 17 hidden neurons. The proposed method has been validated using simulated test data and actual field information. The results show that the suggested algorithm is able to identify the correct reservoir models for training and test data sets with total classification accuracies (TCA) of 95.37% and 94.34% respectively.

Summary: This study investigates the critical factors causing non-Darcian flow in porous media and explores the distinct roles of pores and throats in total dissipation using numerical simulation. The Forchheimer model is used to analyze the non-Darcian flow. The results show that pores are more likely to deviate from the Darcy model than throats, and increasing the pore-to-throat ratio leads to earlier onset of non-Darcian flow in the pores.

Improved energy management of chiller system with AI-based regression

Fu-Wing Yu, Wai-Tung Ho, Chak-Fung Jeff Wong

Summary: This research aims to enhance the energy management in commercial building air-conditioning systems, specifically focusing on chillers. Ridge regression is found to outperform lasso and elastic net regression when optimized with the appropriate hyperparameter, making it the most suitable method for modeling the system coefficient of performance (SCOP). The key variables that strongly influence SCOP include part load ratios, the operating numbers of chillers and pumps, and the temperatures of chilled water and condenser water. Additionally, July is identified as the month with the highest potential for performance improvement. This study introduces a novel approach that balances feature selection, model accuracy, and optimal tuning of hyperparameters, highlighting the significance of a generic and simplified chiller system model in evaluating energy management opportunities for sustainable operation. The findings from this research can guide future efforts towards more energy-efficient and sustainable operations in commercial buildings.

Gerardo Humberto Valencia-Rivera, Maria Torcoroma Benavides-Robles, Alonso Vela Morales, Ivan Amaya, Jorge M. Cruz-Duarte, Jose Carlos Ortiz-Bayliss, Juan Gabriel Avina-Cervantes

Summary: Electric power system applications are complex optimization problems. Most literature reviews focus on studying electrical paradigms using different optimization techniques, but there is a lack of review on Metaheuristics (MHs) in these applications. Our work provides an overview of the paradigms underlying such applications and analyzes the most commonly used MHs and their search operators. We also discover a strong synergy between the Renewable Energies paradigm and other paradigms, and a significant interest in Load-Forecasting optimization problems. Based on our findings, we provide helpful recommendations for current challenges and potential research paths to support further development in this field.
