The Mo equation was employed to analyze the non-isothermal crystallization data. The crystallization activation energies were also evaluated by the Kissinger method. The results show that the crystallization onset temperature(T onset) and crystallization peak temperature(T p) decrease with the increase of the content of reactive microgel, while ΔT(T onset–T p), the crystallization half-time(t1/2) and the crystallization enthalpy(ΔH c) increase. The required cooling rates of blends are higher than that of neat nylon6 in order to achieve the same relative crystallinity in a unit of time. The crystallization activation energies of the reactive microgel/nylon 6 blends are greater than those of the neat nylon 6. When the content of reactive microgel is 30%, the relative crystallinity(X t) reaches the maximum.展开更多

An input voltage clamping technique is proposed to impose the photovoltaic operation on the maximum power point. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed methodology for grid connected photovoltaic generation system.展开更多

Current methods often use harsh reagents and organic solvents to control morphology, which are not preferred for biomedical applications. Recently, several peptides with specific amino acid sequences have successfully been used to reduce Au ions and synthesize biocompatible peptide-covered gold particles in situ.However, the molecular mechanism of peptide-assisted nanocluster formation is yet unclear. Thus, reactive abilities of different amino acids should be studied to improve design of peptides with predetermined amino acid content and consequently, synthesize gold nanoclusters with improved performance. In this theoretical study, we have approximated the reactive abilities of 20 natural amino acids in their neutral state using density functional theory calculations, such as Fukui indices and HOMO/LUMO composition analysis. We have found that the top reducing agents are tryptophan, histidine, and tyrosine, and thestrongest binding can be expected from methionine and cysteine. Further study of the exact reactive sites in these high reactive amino acids provided the deep insight for the peptide design route for the targeted gold nanocluster formation.展开更多

The specific surface area of the char was found to decrease with increasing pyrolysis temperature. The interlayer spacing of the char also decreased, while the average stacking height and carbon crystal size increased at higher temperatures, suggesting that the char generated at high temperatures had a highly ordered structure. The char obtained using an ER value of 0.064 exhibited the highest specific surface area and oxidation reactivity. Rela- tively high 02 concentrations degraded the pore structure of the char, decreasing the surface area. The char produced in an atmosphere incorporating H2 showed a more condensed crystalline structure and consequently had lower oxidation reactivity.展开更多

Using a nonlinear feedback lineariza- tion strategy, an attempt is made to improve the desired performances by controlling the generated stator active and reactive power in a linear and decoupled manner. There- fore, to achieve this objective, the Lyapunov approach is used associated with a sliding mode control to guarantee the global asymptotical stability. Thus, an optimal operation of the BDFIG in sub-synchronous operation is obtained as well as the stator power flows with the possibility of keeping stator power factor at a unity. The proposed method is tested with the Matlab/Simulink software. Simulation results illustrate the performances and the feasibility of the designed control.展开更多

文摘The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of reactive microgel/nylon 6 blends was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The Mo equation was employed to analyze the non-isothermal crystallization data. The crystallization activation energies were also evaluated by the Kissinger method. The results show that the crystallization onset temperature(T onset) and crystallization peak temperature(T p) decrease with the increase of the content of reactive microgel, while ΔT(T onset–T p), the crystallization half-time(t1/2) and the crystallization enthalpy(ΔH c) increase. The required cooling rates of blends are higher than that of neat nylon6 in order to achieve the same relative crystallinity in a unit of time. The crystallization activation energies of the reactive microgel/nylon 6 blends are greater than those of the neat nylon 6. When the content of reactive microgel is 30%, the relative crystallinity(X t) reaches the maximum.

文摘Coating of gold nanoclusters with peptides is an important targeting method in biomedical applications.However, their synthetic method highly influences their targeting ability. Current methods often use harsh reagents and organic solvents to control morphology, which are not preferred for biomedical applications. Recently, several peptides with specific amino acid sequences have successfully been used to reduce Au ions and synthesize biocompatible peptide-covered gold particles in situ.However, the molecular mechanism of peptide-assisted nanocluster formation is yet unclear. Thus, reactive abilities of different amino acids should be studied to improve design of peptides with predetermined amino acid content and consequently, synthesize gold nanoclusters with improved performance. In this theoretical study, we have approximated the reactive abilities of 20 natural amino acids in their neutral state using density functional theory calculations, such as Fukui indices and HOMO/LUMO composition analysis. We have found that the top reducing agents are tryptophan, histidine, and tyrosine, and thestrongest binding can be expected from methionine and cysteine. Further study of the exact reactive sites in these high reactive amino acids provided the deep insight for the peptide design route for the targeted gold nanocluster formation.

文摘The physiochemical properties of chars produced by coal pyrolysis in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor with a continuous coal feed and char discharge at temperatures of 750 to 980 ~ C under N2-based atmospheres containing 02, H2, CO, CH4, and CO2 were studied. The specific surface area of the char was found to decrease with increasing pyrolysis temperature. The interlayer spacing of the char also decreased, while the average stacking height and carbon crystal size increased at higher temperatures, suggesting that the char generated at high temperatures had a highly ordered structure. The char obtained using an ER value of 0.064 exhibited the highest specific surface area and oxidation reactivity. Rela- tively high 02 concentrations degraded the pore structure of the char, decreasing the surface area. The char produced in an atmosphere incorporating H2 showed a more condensed crystalline structure and consequently had lower oxidation reactivity.

文摘In the existing multi-period robust optimization methods for the optimal power flow in radial distribution systems,the capability of distributed generators(DGs)to regulate the reactive power,the operation costs of the regulation equipment,and the current of the shunt capacitor of the cables are not considered.In this paper,a multi-period two-stage robust scheduling strategy that aims to minimize the total cost of the power supply is developed.This strategy considers the time-ofuse price,the capability of the DGs to regulate the active and reactive power,the action costs of the regulation equipment,and the current of the shunt capacitors of the cables in a radial distribution system.Furthermore,the numbers of variables and constraints in the first-stage model remain constant during the iteration to enhance the computation efficiency.To solve the second-stage model,only the model of each period needs to be solved.Then,their objective values are accumulated,revealing that the computation rate using the proposed method is much higher than that of existing methods.The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by actual 4-bus,IEEE 33-bus,and PG 69-bus distribution systems.

文摘This paper discusses the power outputs control of a grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator （DFIG） for a wind power generation systems. The DFIG structure control has a six diode rectifier and a PWM IGBT converter in order to control the power outputs of the DFIG driven by wind turbine. So, to supply commercially the electrical power to the grid without any problems related to power quality, the active and reactive powers （Ps, Qs） at the stator side of the DFIG are strictly controlled at a required level, which, in this paper, is realized with an optimized fuzzy logic controller based on the grid flux oriented control, which gives an optimal operation of the DFIG in sub-synchronous region, and the control of the stator power flow with the possibility of keeping stator power factor at a unity.
文摘The paper presents a five-level common ground type(5L-CGT),transformer-less inverter topology with double voltage boosting.The proposed inverter uses eight switches and two capacitors,charged at input voltage level.The inverter in its basic form acts as a string inverter for low-power PV applications.However,it can be extended to work as a scalable multi-level inverter with higher power handling capability to act as a centralized inverter.The working of the inverter with the sizing of the components is presented with mathematical analysis.The efficiency of the proposed PV inverter is found using thermal losses associated with switches using PLECS software.A prototype of 1 kW has been designed,and experimentation has been carried out.Various loads with a lagging power factor up to 0.6 have been tested with the inverter to establish the usability of the proposed inverter in a worst-case emulated homeuse scenario.The total harmonic distortion(THD)at the output has been recorded using a power quality analyzer with voltage and current THD values of 4.5%and 2.5%,respectively,which lies within the limits of IEEE 519 standards.The highest power conversion efficiency of the inverter has been recorded to be 96.20%.
文摘This paper deals with robust direct power control of a grid-connected bmshless doubly-fed induction generator（BDFIG）. Using a nonlinear feedback lineariza- tion strategy, an attempt is made to improve the desired performances by controlling the generated stator active and reactive power in a linear and decoupled manner. There- fore, to achieve this objective, the Lyapunov approach is used associated with a sliding mode control to guarantee the global asymptotical stability. Thus, an optimal operation of the BDFIG in sub-synchronous operation is obtained as well as the stator power flows with the possibility of keeping stator power factor at a unity. The proposed method is tested with the Matlab/Simulink software. Simulation results illustrate the performances and the feasibility of the designed control.
