Ying LI, De Wit HANS
2017, 4(2): 1-16. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2017.02.001
Abstract:
The Hongkong Zhuhai Macao Bridge (HZMB) Project, 55 km long, links Hongkong, Macao and the Mainland China Zhuhai city. It is a combination engineering of bridges, islands and tunnel in which the two offshore artificial islands are used as transition between bridges and tunnel. With a length of approximately 6.7 km, the immersed tunnel becomes the world′s longest highway concrete immersed tunnel. It is the controlling work of the whole link. To accommodate the passing of 3 million tons vessels, the maximum tunnel depth is 45 m below sea level, being one of the deepest in the world. When also taking into account the varying and relative poor soil conditions, the large tunnel spans, the offshore conditions for construction and the complex connection of two artificial islands which are reclaimed in poor soil conditions, the HZMB Link can be considered as one of the most challenging projects worldwide. From project consultant point of view, the paper introduces the general information of HZMB project but with details on the technical difficulties of the immersed tunnel, which includes: Tunnel structural design, tunnel foundation design, tunnel element production, transport and immersion, closure joint, durability, etc. Finally, the opinion on the main innovations of the immersed tunnel will be introduced. It will be right the time of "through-going" of whole tunnel construction when the paper is to be published, which also means the "through-going" of the whole link construction. As one of the involved companies, this paper expresses also our congratulation to this great milestone of the project.

Abstract:
For the dilemma of modeling & optimizing of DES/CCHP due to the absents of variable-interrelation among sub-systems, a logic modeling/optimizing energy flux chart of DES/CCHP is advanced, which including 9 sub-systems, that are power-system, DCS, DWS, hot water, renewable generating, SMG, gas/LNG, hydrogen, and industrial waste heat.It was pointed out that the topology structure & parameters inside a sub-systems are may be described and optimized, but not existed among different sub-systems.Therefore, a Decomposing/Coordinating strategy has been adapted and electricity is the main coordinating variable.Two main strategies are advanced: (1)Modeling & optimization was realized via optimizing and iterating among multi-operation-subsystem modeling with design modeling; (2)The direct targets of optimization was the economic benefit, high energy-efficiency target comes from sub-system decision according to the principle of "Use energy scientifically" , while low carbon target depends upon energy efficiency and choosing of primal energy.Above method has been applied in design & construction of many natural gas DES/CCHP projects.Thus, it has important scientific meaning and practical prospect.

Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to optimize the parameter iterative process in back propagation neural network forecasting model; original sequence is reformed by using policy factor treatment method in the grey forecasting model, which can strengthen increasing trend of the sequence; stepwise linear regression method is used to eliminate the independent variables that have a small effect on the dependent variable in the regression forecasting model. The three forecasting models are finally weighted combined by using variance-covariance method. The combined forecasting model is tested with the actual data of Guangzhou from 2007 to 2016, the peak load of Guangzhou from 2017 to 2019 is forecasted as well. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the method proposed in this paper is relatively high and the errors are within the permissible range in engineering, indicating the method is valuable in engineering.

Abstract:
The groundwater pollution resulting from landfill leakage in urban areas has become an increasingly serious threat. At present, there are various problems in the method of monitoring the landfill leakage. The environmental geophysics methods are the main approaches for leakage monitoring. However, similarly to other landfill leakage monitoring methods, these traditional geophysical methods have the problems of limited surveying range and a long period of survey intervals. This paper introduces the elemental mechanism of landfill leakage pollution, whilst also reviewing the principles of applying resistivity method to monitor leakages. The resistivity Full Channel Method is introduced with apparent advantages; these are illustrated using a synthetic model to compare the Full Channel Method against other traditional methods. This paper also discusses the advantages of using permanent buried electrodes for data acquisition, and processing, while introducing the main methodologies and principles of the data interpretation on the resistivity anomaly. With the extensively large scale of the landfill industry, the data acquisition and processing with resistivity Full Channel Method can provide real-time, high-efficiency, and comprehensive monitoring, which deserves to be applied within all landfill sites.
