In this paper, a novel quasi-proportional resonance (quasi-PR) controller for grid-connected current control is proposed. For the traditional quasi-PR controller, the performance decreases in cases when a large gird frequency deviation is going through. To solve the problem, a frequency adaptive structure is applied in the current control method to achieve online correction on the resonance frequency, so that a high control accuracy is maintained and the robustness of the control system is enhanced. The feasibility of the proposed method has been verified by experimental results.

The output power of electric-field energy harvesting is limited by displacement current produced in the capacitive coupling between the harvester and power line. This paper presents a capacitive electric-field energy harvester (CEFEH) that obtains energy from 220V power line by displacement current. The CEFEH consists of copper foil wound around the power line and ground electrode. In order to improve the output power of CEFEH, a double-layer copper foil is used to enhance the capacitive coupling, thereby increasing the displacement current. With the help of larger displacement current, the harvesting power of CEFEH with double-layer copper foil is 1.6 times higher than that of the single-layer copper foil. However, the electric-field energy around the 220V power line is very weak, which makes wireless sensor node unable to work directly. A power management circuit is designed for CEFEH. The test results show that the proposed CEFEH collects 2.468mJ in 400s and drives the ultra-low power wireless temperature sensor node to operation for 800ms. This CEFEH can be used in wireless sensor node with a short-term ultra-low power.

Under the effect of lightning current which is with large amplitude, the grounding device and surrounding soil will have spark effect, which makes device show complex impact characteristics and affect the current dissipation process. In this paper, using the parallel plate device, the quantitative relationship between the resistivity of sandy and brown yellow soil and the field strength is obtained, which is expressed as a piecewise function. Considering this relationship, a finite element model of impact dissipation for grounding device is established. A test platform is built, and the impact test data of different topological forms is used to compare with the results of the model, which can verify that the model can effectively analyse the spark effect of the grounding body. After carrying out simulation for the grounding body of different topological forms, this paper analyses the impact dissipation characteristics of the horizontal grounding body and the grounding body with short conductors.

In the past few years, the number of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power station is increasing quickly. Due to the power fluctuation of PV station, the voltage in the power grid with large-scale PV stations integrated may fluctuate irregularly. It may cause transformer tap or shunt capacitor switching frequently. To smooth the voltage fluctuation, a typical solution is to install energy storage system which needs high investment. The alternative way is to use reactive power to regulate the voltage. This paper introduces the ability of reactive power control to mitigate the above voltage fluctuation problem. An improved ΔQ(ΔP) control is proposed. Comparing with the common Q(U) droop control, the results of an actual PV station case verifies its good performance.

Though the silicide metallized electrodes which are widely used in semiconductor devices have their advantage of low contact resistance, they often induce harmful stress in devices. Considering this, a trench-based structure designed to manipulate the silicide induced stress is reported in this letter. The effects of the structure are demonstrated by the numerical simulation results based on the typical PMOSFETs with their electrodes formed by CoSi2 and NiSi. It is shown that, while the trench-based structure is applied, the harmful tensile channel stress caused by the silicide electrode can be reduced as low as about 50%. As a result, the output current can be increased about 7.5%. These results indicate the potential of this novel trench based structure to serve as the stress modulation structure in the semiconductor device with silicide electrodes.

When the lightning strikes the tower, the lightning current is discharged into the ground through the tower grounding device. The magnitude of the impulse earthed resistance of the tower grounding device determines the lightning discharge capacity of the tower. Therefore, the tower grounding device directly affects the lightning protection level of the tower. This paper first introduces three commonly used shock resistance reduction methods: long vertical ground electrode, acupuncture ground electrode, and externally induced rays. Then, the CDEGS software is used to simulate and analyze the long vertical grounding electrode, and a method of insulation short shield is proposed to determine the optimal length of the vertical grounding conductor of the grounding device. Finally, the different resistance reduction effects under the change of length and number of roots are explored, and the optimal resistance reduction arrangement under the same economic conditions is realized.

Aiming at the radar waveform design problem of detecting multiple targets in the presence of clutter, a novel algorithm based on linear probability-weighted summation (PWS) of multi-target impulse response of signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is proposed. In view of the traditional water-filling algorithm, the multi-target detection algorithm is further studied in a new way to improve the overall performance of the system. This method uses Jensen's inequality to make a lot of derivations to determine the target function of the algorithm and the constraints. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better detection performance and more accurate target information.

In this paper an accurate method for efficiency calculation of self-excited induction generator (SEIG) at different operating conditions is proposed, considering the effect of stator and rotor iron core losses, stator and rotor circuits stray load losses, stator and rotor winding (copper) losses, mechanical losses, skin-effect losses, and skew-effect losses. The proposed procedure of efficiency calculation is based on the conventional machine tests such as no-load test, load test at variable supply voltage and temperature test without additional measurements. From these conventional tests, all the SEIG losses can be calculated accurately by their related formulas derived based on the SEIG equivalent circuit. The reduction of these losses causes an increase in the SEIG percentage efficiency, and this is a very important feature in electric energy saving by minimization of SEIG equivalent circuit components.

As the core of industrial control, servo drives have become evident in small volume, multi-spindle integration, acclimatization and energy conservation in recent years. The main domestic and foreign servo drives adopt module temperature detection, thermal accumulation - heat dissipation model or inverse time overload algorithm. The overload multiple and time are relatively fixed, and cannot further improve overload capacity according to the environment temperature or load condition. Due to the low utilization rate of the radiator, the servo drive selection usually amplifies the first gear and increases the cost of the electrical system. Without adding energy feedback cells or capacitors, it's not efficient to recycle the energy produced by braking. This paper mainly studies the overload algorithm which based on junction temperature prediction. The overloading algorithm can increase the overload capacity by 40%. Fanless design can be realized to meet the application of negative conditions such as conductive dust, cutting fluid and cotton. In general, the overload algorithm which based on junction temperature prediction is suit for the application of printing, packaging, semiconductor silicon, forging, laser cutting machines.

Real-time operation risk assessment of power grid is not only an important content of power grid dispatching and operation control, but also an important reference factor in power grid accident disposal. It is difficult for the traditional evaluation methods to meet power system online operation control requirements, because of their complex process and long calculation time. To this end, a real-time power grid operation risk assessment method based on random forest intelligent algorithm is proposed in this paper, The basic concepts and implementation points of random forest algorithm is introduced. The implementation framework of real-time operation risk assessment based on random forest is proposed taking the need of power grid operation risk assessment into consideration. Compared with the traditional evaluation method, this method can calculate the power grid operation risk level directly according to some key operation indexes without complex power grid analysis, such as N-1 security check. Finally, the two-years practical application in a certain provincial power grid in China shows that the method has high evaluation accuracy and computational efficiency, which can match the traditional evaluation method and improve the calculation efficiency and accuracy of risk assessment.

As a large load of the smart grid, datacenters usually have a huge demand for power. Datacenter participation in demand response programs of smart grids can help the grid to adjust the load while reducing its own power costs so as to save electricity costs. In this paper, we designed a two-stage demand response participation strategy to alleviate the peak load pressure of the gird and reduce the power cost of the datacenter. The first stage determines whether to participate in demand response according to the real-time electricity prices variation of the power grid and incentive information will be sent to encourage users to participate in the program to help shave the peak load. In the second stage, the datacenter interacts with its users by allowing users to submit bid information by auction. Then the datacenter selects the tasks of the winning users to postpone processing with awards, which reduces the electricity costs of the datacenter and effectively meets the demand response requirements of the smart grid. In this way, the goals of both parties could be achieved.

Microgrid (MG) is effective to absorb the distributed renewable energy source (RES). Considering the uncertainty of RES and load, this paper proposes a fuzzy rule of energy storage system (ESS) and gets its output by anti-fuzzification in the real-time dispatch stage after receiving the actual load and RES value. Based on the envelope principle and fuzzy control, a grid-connected MG scheduling model is established. Considering the ultra-short-term forecasted data at the beginning of an hour, a receding-horizon scheduling model which includes the constraints of ladder price, ESS, RES, etc. and aims at the lowest operating cost, is established to correct the day-ahead scheduling error as the basic value of real-time scheduling at subsequent times. Taking a MG in Shaanxi Province as an example, the proposed strategy ensures the rapid and economic operation of MG.

Single-phase active power factor corrector (APFC) can eliminate harmonic current pollution to the grid harmonic current. APFC uses a double closed-loop control structure with a voltage outer loop and a current inner loop. Although this control method is very simple, the dynamic response characteristics need to be improved. After analyzing the definition of fractional PID and the design process of fractional PI controller parameter, the fractional-order operators is calculated by using the Oustaloup approximation algorithm, so that a double closed-loop variable coefficient PI controller with a voltage outer loop and a current inner loop are designed in APFC to adopt fractional PI control. The pure resistive load is taken as an example for simulation analysis and compared with the three conditions of the traditional PI controller. The results demonstrate that the APFC can obtain good dynamic and static characteristics by adopting double closed-loop fractional PI control with proper order.

With the development of intermittent renewable energy, power system needs more capacity resources to ensure the generation adequacy during peak load periods. Flexible resources such as electric vehicles(EVs) and demand response resources(DRRs) will play important roles in the capacity market auction. However, due to the uncertainty of outputs, they are not competitive enough in the market and face high investment risks. In order to deal with this situation, we integrate renewable energy resources(RESs), EVs and DRRs into a virtual power plant (VPP) and proposed a novel auction model for the VPP to participate in the capacity market. The objective function is to maximize the social welfare while satisfying the reliability of the system. This paper also presents the results of a case study with three scenarios to prove the validity. The proposed model provides a novel path for distributed flexible resources to participate in capacity market.

In this paper, a novel MTPA control scheme assisted by deep neural network is proposed based on a virtual signal injection concept. The deep neural network models the complex relationship between the electromagnetic torque and the d- and q-axis currents. The mathematical model in the conventional virtual signal injection MTPA control is substituted by the deep neural network. In this way, the MTPA control errors of conventional mathematical model based MTPA control schemes and conventional virtual signal injection based MTPA control schemes due to the neglect of the derivatives of machine parameters with respect to current angle or d-axis current can be avoided. The proposed control scheme was assessed by simulations under various operating conditions. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed MTPA control scheme could control the IPMSM operating on the MTPA points accurately and the errors caused by the neglect of the derivatives of machine parameters with respect to current angle or d-axis current were avoided.

Security monitoring is one of the security strategies for the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and the intrusion detection system (IDS) is a main tool to do security monitoring. Main task of security monitoring is to develop the SCADA-specific IDS, which reflects the semantics of the SCADA domain. In this paper, we work on developing IDS based on deep learning models for the SCADA system. The target SCADA communication protocol of the detection model is the DNP3, which is currently the most commonly utilized communication protocol in the power substation. The attack of major concern is data injection or modification attacks, which is most critical attack in the SCADA system. We extract 12 data features from distributed network protocol 3 (DNP3) packets, and use them to train the deep neural network. We measure the accuracy and loss of the detection system trained based on different deep learning algorithms, and show the comparison of the results.

To cope with the energy crisis and the environment issues caused by the fossil fuels, the renewable energy generation developed rapidly. However, the inherent characteristics of uncertainty bring about difficulty to the operation of power system. Rolling dispatch can use the updated forecast data to adjust unit planning and it is a good method to cope with the volatility of renewable energy. But with the dispatch time resolution be finer, the computation burden of dispatch agent increases significantly and the allowable time limit of each round rolling dispatch shrunk. This paper proposed a time sections clustering method, which could adaptively reduce the number of time sections that should be considered in the optimization model. In order to avoiding the interval of two successive dispatch horizon, this paper use an extended horizon to cover a first few hours of next day. To adopt the variable time resolution, a unified unit commitment model is proposed. The numerical experiment on a real provincial system in northwest China shows the effectiveness of the proposed model.

It is a gradual evolution path and the most common practice in the initial stage of power spot market construction in China to start with bidding without price on the demand side, which lead to a question of how to solve the demand respond (DR) in day-ahead power spot market. To this end, a day-ahead power market clearing model considering incentive-based demand response (IBDR) is proposed. The IBDR is mainly aimed at large users with certain load elasticity, which can adjust their production schedules and change their electricity load curve to obtain certain cost incentives. This clearing method can optimize the spot market clearing result to maximize the social benefit by coordinating the electricity purchase cost and DR incentive cost. In this process, large users can obtain certain economic compensation by providing DR and help the dispatching mechanism to solve the operation problems such as power grid congestion, which could improve the operation efficiency of thermal power units. Finally, a case study based on the IEEE-30 buses system is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

With the large-scale integration of renewable energy sources into the power system, a new source of uncertainty is added to the operation planning problem. In this paper, the rank correlation coefficient is introduced to characterize the dependency among random variables in power flow equations, and Nataf transformation is used to map the probabilistic power flow (PPF) problem to the independent standard normal space. Dimension reduction model is introduced to approximation the function relationship between PPF inputs and outputs. Gauss-Hermite quadrature is used to obtain the statistical moments of the univariate function, whereby the statistical moments of outputs of power flow equations are obtained. Testing on an IEEE-118 system, the dimension reduction method is compared with Hong's point estimate method, it is found the dimension reduction method can improve the accuracy without extra computational burden.

For the Microencapsulated Phase Change Materials slurry(MPCMs)having a large latent heat during the phase change period and having a higher heat convection coefficient than the single-phase fluid, it has become a new thermal fluid of widespread investigation. In this paper, the model of equivalent specific heat is presented to numerical simulate the laminar convective heat transfer performances of MPCMs in a tube under the condition of constant heat flux. The heat transfer of MPCMs in a tube is investigated under various concentrations of MPCMs and heat flux and the correlation of the convective heat transfer with MPCMs in a tube is obtained.

The integrated energy system (IES) promotes the integration of renewable energy and improves energy efficiency, but it also brings uncertainty to the system. The uncertainty of the output of renewable energy may lead to imbalance of supply and demand, which brings the risk of cost increase to the economic dispatch. This paper mainly studies IES with energy hub as the research object, and studies the IES modeling and the optimal scheduling problem considering Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR). Firstly, the mathematical model of energy hub is established. Next, the network model of power system and natural gas system is established and the energy hub is reasonably connected to them. Then, for analyzing the uncertainty of wind power output, this paper develops scenarios using Latin hypercube sampling method and uses K-medoids clustering algorithm to reduce the scenarios. After defining the risk cost under uncertainty, CVaR is introduced into the objective function of IES optimal dispatch to describe the risk which operating personnel faces. Based on CVaR, the IES scheduling model is established and linearized into a mixed integer linear programming problem to be solved. Finally, numerical case studies verify that the IES scheduling model can reduce the risks with least costs and determine whether the system needs to avoid risks.

Coal-fired power plants are usually equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. In this paper, we considered both the denitrification cost of the SCR system and the coal burning cost of the boiler to develop an operation cost model. Furthermore, the genetic algorithm was proposed to minimize the total operation cost by optimizing the feature parameters, including the primary air pressure, secondary air volume, overheated air volume, and NH3 injection volume. Simulation experiments were performed based on the operating data of a 1000 MW coal-fired power plant, with results showing that the total operating cost of the boiler and SCR was lowered.
