منشی احترام علی کاکوروی
افسوس ہے کہ منشی احترام علی صاحب کاکوروی نے ایک طویل علالت کے بعد انتقال کیا، وہ ایک نامور باپ منشی احتشام علی صاحب مرحوم رئیس کاکوروی کے فرزند اور خود بھی بڑی خوبیوں کے انسان تھے، دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء سے ان کو موروثی تعلق تھا، وہ اس کے معتمد مال تھے، ایک زمانہ میں لکھنؤ کے مقامی قومی کاموں میں بھی حصہ لیتے تھے، لیکن ادھر کچھ دونوں سے خانہ نشینی کی زندگی اختیار کرلی تھی لکھنؤ کا مسلم یونیورسٹی کنونشن ان ہی کی کوشش کا نتیجہ تھا، وہ پشتینی رئیس تھے، لیکن طبعاً نہایت متواضع، خلیق اور شرفائے اودھ کی تہذیب و شرافت کا نمونہ تھے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے۔
(شاہ معین الدین ندوی، فروری ۱۹۶۶ء)
Great lineage, good manners, trustworthiness, sincerity, courage and bravery, obedience, generosity, modesty, humility, thankfulness, absolute trust in Allah, education and upbringing, affection and compassion towards the elderly, the youth, slaves and animals, the regard for truth, the endurance and patience etc. Are such features that at them neither was the match for the Holy Master (saw) born, nor will any such person be ever born. In addition, let alone friends, his enemies were helpless to hold him as-Sadiq (the Truthful) and al-Ameen (the Trustworthy) due to these and many other great attributes; and they would say: Muhammad is not a liar at all, but we can’t believe in him as a prophet sent by Allah. Moreover, even a non-Muslim or polytheist has never criticized his character to this day, nor will anybody do till the judgment day. Whenever the greatest personalities of the world were listed or somebody committed to writing on the said topic, the Holy Prophet (saw) remained at the top of the list. Drawing of the swords of father and son against each other, the change of the standard of friendship and enmity, fighting of master and his slave against each other, chanting the slogan of Ahad-Ahad (the only One, the only One) on the blazing sand, giving priority to martyrdom over the utterance of a word of unbelief, taking a husband away from his wife and separating a mother from her infant, deforming the condition after a blasphemous blow on the blessed face, forced migration to Habsha (Abyssinia) at times, and laying siege to Shb-e-Abi Talib (the valley of Abi Talib) at times.
Unit Commitment is an important and vital optimization task in a power control centre. After load forecasting it is the second step in the planning process. It consists of two linked optimization problems. It comprises unit on/off scheduling problem and the economic dispatch sub-problem. The on/off scheduling problem is a 0-1 combinatorial problem with equality and inequality constraints, while the economic dispatch sub-problem is a nonlinear constrained optimization problem. Unit commitment is a nonlinear, large scale, combinatorial, constrained optimization problem. The complete unit commitment optimization problem is to minimize the total production cost (TPC) of utility in such a way that the constraints such as load demand, spinning reserve, minimum and maximum power limits of units, minimum up (MUT) and minimum down times (MDT) are satisfied. Therefore, based on the forecasted load demand, preparing proper on/off schedule of generators can result in cost saving for utility. It is much more difficult problem to solve due to its high dimensionality. The present work is based on the scheduling of thermal units. The generation of initial feasible UC schedules is much important, for the UCP. When initial feasible schedules (generation > load + spinning reserve) are generated randomly, it is difficult to get feasible schedules for the whole daily forecasted load curve. In this work initial schedule is generated by considering the peak, off peak load of the forecasted load curve, must run and must out units based on a new priority list method. The proposed method is very efficient and fast in generating initial unit commitment schedules. In this work the MUT and MDT constraints are checked and repaired by using bit change operator. The trial solutions were generated by taking upper four units in the priority list at each hour to avoid entrapment in local minimum.vi In the unit commitment problem, the economic load dispatch (ELD) sub-problem is an intensive part and its calculations consume a large amount of time. Convex economic dispatch using load to efficient unit and incremental cost criterion methods have been solved. In this work, the ELD calculation for non convex problem has been solved using genetic algorithm (GA) based on real power search method. In the present work, three hybrid approaches have been developed for the convex and non-convex cost functions and applied first time to solve the unit commitment problem. To implement these algorithms a flexible and extensible computational framework has been developed to run in visual C++ environment. The proposed algorithms are (i) “hybrid of dynamic programming, particle swarm optimization and artificial neural network algorithms (DP-PSO- ANN) for convex cost function, (ii) “Neuro-Genetic hybrid approach for non-convex cost function” and (iii) “hybrid of full load average production cost and maximum power output, for convex and non convex cost functions”. For comparison the neural network trained with back propagation learning rule has also been developed. The proposed models have been tested on IEEE 3 and 10 units standard test systems. The significant improvement in the total production cost shows the promise of these hybrid models. National utility system, National Transmission and despatch Company (NTDC) has been reviewed with reference to its operation problems. Four test systems consisting of 12, 15, 25 and 34 units of NTDC system have been tested.
