The aim of the present study is to improve the performance of a distribution network by successively applying mono-capacitor positioning, multiple positioning and reconfiguration processes using GA-based algorithms implemented in a Matlab environment. From the diagnostic study of this network, it was observed that a minimum voltage of 0.90 pu induces a voltage deviation of 5.26%, followed by active and reactive losses of 425.08 kW and 435.09 kVAR, respectively. Single placement with the NSGAII resulted in the placement of a 3000 kVAR capacitor at node 128, which proved to be the invariably neuralgic point. Multiple placements resulted in a 21.55% reduction in losses and a 0.74% regression in voltage profile performance. After topology optimization, the loss profile improved by 65.08% and the voltage profile improved by 1.05%. Genetic algorithms are efficient and effective tools for improving the performance of distribution networks, whose degradation is often dynamic due to the natural variability of loads.展开更多

From the diagnostic study of this network, it was observed that a minimum voltage of 0.90 pu induces a voltage deviation of 5.26%, followed by active and reactive losses of 425.08 kW and 435.09 kVAR, respectively. Single placement with the NSGAII resulted in the placement of a 3000 kVAR capacitor at node 128, which proved to be the invariably neuralgic point. Multiple placements resulted in a 21.55% reduction in losses and a 0.74% regression in voltage profile performance. After topology optimization, the loss profile improved by 65.08% and the voltage profile improved by 1.05%. Genetic algorithms are efficient and effective tools for improving the performance of distribution networks, whose degradation is often dynamic due to the natural variability of loads.

文摘To generate a neutron beam exhibiting a Maxwellian energy distribution with narrow emission angles for measuring the neutron capture reaction rates of the s-process nuclides,a monoenergetic 3.4 MeV proton beam produced by the tandem-accelerator in the China Institute of Atomic Energy was utilized.The proton beam was first transmitted through a 60.5μm aluminum foil and then impinged on a natural LiF target to produce neutron beam via^(7)Li(p,n)7Be reaction.The quasi-Gaussian energy distribution of protons in the LiF target resulted in neutron energy spectra that agreed with a Maxwellian energy distribution at kT=(22±2)keV,which was achieved by integrating neutrons detected within an emission angle of 65.0°±2.6°using a ^(6)Li glass detector positioned at 65°relative to the proton beam direction.The narrow angular spread of the Maxwelliandistributed neutron beam enables direct measurement of neutron capture cross-sections for most s-process nuclides,overcoming previous experimental limitations associated with broad angular distributions.
文摘Ensuring the reliability of power systems in microgrids is critical,particularly under contingency conditions that can disrupt power flow and system stability.This study investigates the application of Security-Constrained Optimal Power Flow(SCOPF)using the Line Outage Distribution Factor(LODF)to enhance resilience in a renewable energy-integrated microgrid.The research examines a 30-bus system with 14 generators and an 8669 MW load demand,optimizing both single-objective and multi-objective scenarios.The single-objective opti-mization achieves a total generation cost of$47,738,while the multi-objective approach reduces costs to$47,614 and minimizes battery power output to 165.02 kW.Under contingency conditions,failures in transmission lines 1,22,and 35 lead to complete power loss in those lines,requiring a redistribution strategy.Implementing SCOPF mitigates these disruptions by adjusting power flows,ensuring no line exceeds its capacity.Specifically,in contingency 1,power in channel 4 is reduced from 59 to 32 kW,while overall load shedding is minimized to 0.278 MW.These results demonstrate the effectiveness of SCOPF in maintaining stability and reducing economic losses.Unlike prior studies,this work integrates LODF into SCOPF for large-scale microgrid applications,offering a computationally efficient contingency management framework that enhances grid resilience and supports renewable energy adoption.

文摘In the era of massive data,the study of distributed data is a significant topic.Model averaging can be effectively applied to distributed data by combining information from all machines.For linear models,the model averaging approach has been developed in the context of distributed data.However,further investigation is needed for more complex models.In this paper,the authors propose a distributed optimal model averaging approach based on multivariate additive models,which approximates unknown functions using B-splines allowing each machine to have a different smoothing degree.To utilize the information from the covariance matrix of dependent errors in multivariate multiple regressions,the authors use the Mahalanobis distance to construct a Mallows-type weight choice criterion.The criterion can be computed by transmitting information between the local machines and the center machine in two steps.The authors demonstrate the asymptotic optimality of the proposed model averaging estimator when the covariates are subject to uncertainty,and obtain the convergence rate of the weight vector to the theoretically optimal weights.The results remain novel even for additive models with a single response variable.The numerical examples show that the proposed method yields good performance.

文摘To address the high costs and operational instability of distribution networks caused by the large-scale integration of distributed energy resources(DERs)(such as photovoltaic(PV)systems,wind turbines(WT),and energy storage(ES)devices),and the increased grid load fluctuations and safety risks due to uncoordinated electric vehicles(EVs)charging,this paper proposes a novel dual-scale hierarchical collaborative optimization strategy.This strategy decouples system-level economic dispatch from distributed EV agent control,effectively solving the resource coordination conflicts arising from the high computational complexity,poor scalability of existing centralized optimization,or the reliance on local information decision-making in fully decentralized frameworks.At the lower level,an EV charging and discharging model with a hybrid discrete-continuous action space is established,and optimized using an improved Parameterized Deep Q-Network(PDQN)algorithm,which directly handles mode selection and power regulation while embedding physical constraints to ensure safety.At the upper level,microgrid(MG)operators adopt a dynamic pricing strategy optimized through Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)to maximize economic benefits and achieve peak-valley shaving.Simulation results show that the proposed strategy outperforms traditional methods,reducing the total operating cost of the MG by 21.6%,decreasing the peak-to-valley load difference by 33.7%,reducing the number of voltage limit violations by 88.9%,and lowering the average electricity cost for EV users by 15.2%.This method brings a win-win result for operators and users,providing a reliable and efficient scheduling solution for distribution networks with high renewable energy penetration rates.

文摘In the Satellite-integrated Internet of Things(S-IoT),data freshness in the time-sensitive scenarios could not be guaranteed over the timevarying topology with current distribution strategies aiming to reduce the transmission delay.To address this problem,in this paper,we propose an age-optimal caching distribution mechanism for the high-timeliness data collection in S-IoT by adopting a freshness metric,as called age of information(AoI)through the caching-based single-source multidestinations(SSMDs)transmission,namely Multi-AoI,with a well-designed cross-slot directed graph(CSG).With the proposed CSG,we make optimizations on the locations of cache nodes by solving a nonlinear integer programming problem on minimizing Multi-AoI.In particular,we put up forward three specific algorithms respectively for improving the Multi-AoI,i.e.,the minimum queuing delay algorithm(MQDA)based on node deviation from average level,the minimum propagation delay algorithm(MPDA)based on the node propagation delay reduction,and a delay balanced algorithm(DBA)based on node deviation from average level and propagation delay reduction.The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism can effectively improve the freshness of information compared with the random selection algorithm.

文摘The dense integration of residential distributed photovoltaic(PV)systems into three-phase,four-wire low-voltage(LV)distribution networks results in reverse power flow and three-phase imbalance,leading to voltage violations that hinder the growth of rural distributed PV systems.Traditional voltage droop-based control methods regulate PV power output solely based on local voltage measurements at the point of PV connection.Due to a lack of global coordination and optimization,their efficiency is often subpar.This paper presents a centralized coordinated active/reactive power control strategy for PV inverters in rural LV distribution feeders with high PV penetration.The strategy optimizes residential PV inverter reactive and active power control to enhance voltage quality.It uses sensitivity coefficients derived from the inverse Jacobian matrix to assign adjustment weights to individual PV units and iteratively optimize their power outputs.The control sequence prioritizes reactive power increases;if the coefficients are below average or the inverters reach capacity,active power is curtailed until voltage issues are resolved.A simulation based on a real 37-node rural distribution network shows that the proposed method significantly reduces PV curtailment.Typical daily results indicate a curtailment rate of 1.47%,which is significantly lower than the 15.4%observed with the voltage droop-based control method.The total daily PV power output(measured every 15 min)increases from 5.55 to 6.41 MW,improving PV hosting capacity.

文摘This paper presents an optimal operation method for embedded DC interconnections based on low-voltage AC/DC distribution areas(EDC-LVDA)under three-phase unbalanced compensation conditions.It can optimally determine the transmission power of the DC and AC paths to simultaneously improve voltage quality and reduce losses.First,considering the embedded interconnected,unbalanced power structure of the distribution area,a power flow calculation method for EDC-LVDA that accounts for three-phase unbalanced compensation is introduced.This method accurately describes the power flow distribution characteristics under both AC and DC power allocation scenarios.Second,an optimization scheduling model for EDC-LVDA under three-phase unbalanced conditions is developed,incorporating network losses,voltage quality,DC link losses,and unbalance levels.The proposed model employs an improved particle swarm optimization(IPSO)two-layer algorithm to autonomously select different power allocation coefficients for the DC link and AC section under various operating conditions.This enables embedded economic optimization scheduling while maintaining compensation for unbalanced conditions.Finally,a case study based on the IEEE 13-node system for EDC-LVDA is conducted and tested.The results show that the proposed optimal operation method achieves a 100%voltage compliance rate and reduces network losses by 13.8%,while ensuring three-phase power balance compensation.This provides a practical solution for the modernization and upgrading of low-voltage power grids.

文摘The real-time AC optimal power flow(OPF)problem is a key issue in making fast and accurate decisions to ensure the safety and economy of power systems.With the rapid development of renewable energies,the fluctuation has grown more vibrant,thus a novel approach called safe deep reinforcement learning is proposed in this paper.Herein,the real-time ACOPF problem is modeled as a constrained Markov decision process,and primal-dual optimization(PDO)based proximal policy optimization(PPO)is used to learn the optimal generator outputs in the primal domain and security constraints in the dual domain,which avoids manually selecting a trade-off between penalties for constraint violations and rewards for the economy.Before training,behavior cloning clones the expert experience into the initial weights of neural networks.Moreover,multiprocessing training is utilized to accelerate the training speed.Case studies are conducted on the IEEE 118-bus system and the modified IEEE 118-bus system.Compared with other methods,the experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve security and near-optimal economic goals by fast calculating the real-time ACOPF problem.

文摘Low-visibility phenomena strongly impact the environment,as well as transportation,aviation and other fields that are closely related to people's livelihoods;thus,they represent important ecological issues of social concern.Based on observation data concerning low-visibility phenomena derived from 105 national meteorological stations in Xinjiang,China over the past 20 years,we systematically analyzed the differences between manual and instrument observations for six types of low-visibility phenomena,with a focus on exploring their spatiotemporal distribution characteristics using instrument data.The results revealed that low-visibility phenomena were dominated by fog-and haze-related events(mist,fog,and haze)in northern Xinjiang and dust-related events(dust storms,blowing sand,and floating dust)in southern Xinjiang,with transitional characteristics observed in eastern Xinjiang.Compared with manual observations,the instrument measurements significantly improved the fine-scale low-visibility phenomenon identification process.On the basis of the instrument observation data,spatial-dimension analysis results indicated that low-visibility phenomena in Xinjiang were significantly influenced by terrain factors.Constrained by the Tianshan Mountains,haze-like phenomena formed a core agglomeration area in northern Xinjiang,whereas dust-and sand-related phenomena radiated outward,with the Taklimakan Desert at the center.Moreover,the gripping effect of the terrain promoted dust transmission along low-altitude channels.Temporally,fog-and haze-related phenomena occurred mainly during autumn and winter,and the proportion of these events decreased from 76.7%to 55.1%.The fog-and haze-related phenomena demonstrated a U-shaped rebound trend,while the proportion of mist phenomena decreased by 34.2%.Dust storms occurred during spring,accounting for 23.3%to 44.9%of all storms.Instrument measurement technology has the advantages of high spatial and temporal resolutions and multiparameter coordination but provides a limited dust-haze mixed-pollution identification capacity.This study provides crucial reference data for enhancing the understanding of low-visibility events in Xinjiang and the potential responses while improving the accuracy of pollution source tracking and meteorological process diagnosis tasks.

文摘An optimization model has been established and solved to determine the optimal threshold value for the event-triggered self-adaptive optimization strategy,which aims to strike a balance between optimization performance and control load while ensuring continuous optimization.First,evaluation indicators are introduced to comprehensively analyze the impact of power fluctuations on the objective function and system voltage at both the system-wide and local levels.Based on these indicators,a multi-stage centralized optimization(MCO)is selectively applied,addressing system state deviations to achieve optimal operating states while maintaining a voltage security margin to ensure system safety.Then,distributed optimization(DO)is carried out at each bus with a renewable energy source or random load integration to accommodate short-term uncertainties using a self-adaptive reactive power algorithm.The optimal threshold value for event-triggered DO is calculated to balance control burden and optimization effectiveness.Utilizing the local state deviation evaluation indicator,unnecessary DOs are skipped when minor power fluctuations occur at the local level.Finally,following the linear superposition principle,event-triggered DOs executed at all distributed controllers collectively constitute the self-adaptive optimization strategy for the entire system.A case study on the IEEE New England 39-bus power system illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
