This is important for the cost of the articles fabricated in this type of industrial plants installed in Mexicali city, where around 80% of companies are, and which fabricate electronic devices and systems, or have industrial electronic systems and machines to their manufacturing process. Mexicalicity is located in theBaja CaliforniaStateof the northwest ofMexico, which is a border city with Calexico in theCaliforniaStateof the United States of America (USA). The region located in Mexicali, is a desert area. Geothermal plant is located in this area, which is an important industry and supplies electricity to this city and its valleys and some cities on southwest of United States for daily activities. This company emits hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a main air pollutant that reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere, generating sulfur oxides (SOX). This chemical is dispersed to the city of Mexicali in which industrial plants are located with electronic control systems, and penetrates to indoor rooms. Those cause the corrosion process. The presence of corrosion leads to the deterioration of electrical connectors, the connections of electronic systems and the decreasing of the lifetime of these control systems. Other air pollutants that are considered as chemical agents which cause damage to materials used in the electronics industry, are the sulfurs and nitrogen oxides (NOX), emitted from the traffic vehicle and some industries. This causes the low productive yielding of electrical and electronic devices and systems used in the companies of this city, and is a major concern to specialized people, managers and owners. To analyze the productive yielding of electronic devices and systems installed in indoor of the electronics industry. For this reason, to know the principal causes of it, a study in three industrial plants, to determine the grade level of deterioration of the electronic control systems (ECS) used in the electronics industry of this city was made. The results showed that at major air pollution concentration detected by specialized methods, the lifetime of the ECS was decreased by the generation of corrosion in their electrical connectors and connections. This was caused for the levels of air pollutants mentioned above, than exceed the air quality standards in some periods of the year, added with the levels upper of relative humidity levels (RH) and temperatures of 85% and 25°C in winter and 80% 35°C in summer, being a main factor of this electrochemical phenomenon.展开更多

As these devices are becoming increasingly important, there is a need to reduce their losses and improve their performance to reduce electric power consumption. Current power semiconductor devices, such as inverters, are made of silicon (Si), but the performance of these Si power devices is reaching its limit due to physical properties and energy bandgap. To address this issue, recent developments in wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor materials, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), offer the potential for a new generation of power semiconductor devices that can perform significantly better than silicon-based devices. In this research, a green synthesized copper-zinc-tin-sulfide (CZTS) nanoparticle is proposed as a new WBG semiconductor material that could be used for optical and electronic devices. Its synthesis, consisting of the production methods and materials used, is discussed. The characterization is also discussed, and further research is recommended in the later sections to enable the continual advancement of this technology.展开更多

文摘Intelligent electronic devices(IEDs)are interconnected via communication networks and play pivotal roles in transmitting grid-related operational data and executing control instructions.In the context of the heightened security challenges within smart grids,IEDs pose significant risks due to inherent hardware and software vulner-abilities,as well as the openness and vulnerability of communication protocols.Smart grid security,distinct from traditional internet security,mainly relies on monitoring network security events at the platform layer,lacking an effective assessment mechanism for IEDs.Hence,we incorporate considerations for both cyber-attacks and physical faults,presenting security assessment indicators and methods specifically tailored for IEDs.Initially,we outline the security monitoring technology for IEDs,considering the necessary data sources for their security assessment.Subsequently,we classify IEDs and establish a comprehensive security monitoring index system,incorporating factors such as running states,network traffic,and abnormal behaviors.This index system contains 18 indicators in 3 categories.Additionally,we elucidate quantitative methods for various indicators and propose a hybrid security assessment method known as GRCW-hybrid,combining grey relational analysis(GRA),analytic hierarchy process(AHP),and entropy weight method(EWM).According to the proposed assessment method,the security risk level of IEDs can be graded into 6 levels,namely 0,1,2,3,4,and 5.The higher the level,the greater the security risk.Finally,we assess and simulate 15 scenarios in 3 categories,which are based on monitoring indicators and real-world situations encountered by IEDs.The results show that calculated security risk level based on the proposed assessment method are consistent with actual simulation.Thus,the reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed index system and assessment method are validated.
文摘Power-electronic devices are widely used in various applications, such as voltage and frequency control for transmitting and converting electric power. As these devices are becoming increasingly important, there is a need to reduce their losses and improve their performance to reduce electric power consumption. Current power semiconductor devices, such as inverters, are made of silicon (Si), but the performance of these Si power devices is reaching its limit due to physical properties and energy bandgap. To address this issue, recent developments in wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor materials, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), offer the potential for a new generation of power semiconductor devices that can perform significantly better than silicon-based devices. In this research, a green synthesized copper-zinc-tin-sulfide (CZTS) nanoparticle is proposed as a new WBG semiconductor material that could be used for optical and electronic devices. Its synthesis, consisting of the production methods and materials used, is discussed. The characterization is also discussed, and further research is recommended in the later sections to enable the continual advancement of this technology.
文摘With the continuous development of enterprises, more and more enterprises pay attention to the training of staff's practical ability. In the maintenance of electronic devices, enterprises lack the training of staff's practical ability. In the maintenance of electronic devices of railway vehicles, due to the lack of a sound management system, maintenance personnel for the maintenance of electronic devices is not standard, resulting in cumbersome work. In the face of this, enterprises need to actively explore the innovation of maintenance technology, manage the maintenance process, improve the overall maintenance efficiency and promote the technical progress of maintenance personnel. This paper analyzes the status quo of electronic device maintenance technical training and discusses how to improve the quality of electronic device maintenance technical training.

文摘Mechanical reliability plays a critical role in determining the durability of flexible electronic devices because of the significant mechanical stresses they experience during manufacturing and operation.Many such devices are built on sheets comprising stiff transparent-conducting oxide(TCO)electrode films on compliant polymer substrates,and it is generally assumed that the high-toughness polymer substrates do not crack.Contrary to this assumption,here we show extensive cracking in the polymer substrates during bending of a variety of TCO/polymer sheets,and a device example—flexible perovskite solar cells.Such substrate cracking,which compromises the overall mechanical integrity of the entire device,is driven by the amplified stress-intensity factor caused by the elastic mismatch at the film/substrate interface.To mitigate this substrate cracking,an interlayer-engineering approach is designed and experimentally demonstrated.This approach is potentially applicable to myriad flexible electronic devices,with stiff films on compliant substrates,for improving their durability and reliability.

文摘High proportion of renewable energies and the installation of power electronic devices(PEDs)pose tough challenges to the operation of power systems.In this paper,the remote coordination adjustment(RCA)of PEDs in stochastic scenarios is studied.The steady-state model for the AC/DC system with PEDs is first established,and the alternate iteration method based on linearization(AIML)is adopted,especially for efficient deterministic power flow calculation.Then,the RCA is proposed using a modular local sensitivity method combined with AIML,which can adjust the electrical variables by diverse PEDs with high efficiency.Additionally,the probabilistic power flow calculation using the quasi-Monte Carlo method with the adaptive sampling number(ASN-QMC)is introduced to keep the balance between the computational efficiency and accuracy,as well as demonstrating the positive impact of RCA by the PEDs in stochastic scenarios.The effectiveness of the proposed RCA is validated by a series of modified IEEE test systems.

文摘Doping of semiconductors,i.e.,accurately modulating the charge carrier type and concentration in a controllable manner,is a key technology foundation for modern electronics and optoelectronics.However,the conventional doping technologies widely utilized in silicon industry,such as ion implantation and thermal diffusion,always fail when applied to two-dimensional(2D)materials with atomically-thin nature.Surface charge transfer doping(SCTD)is emerging as an effective and non-destructive doping technique to provide reliable doping capability for 2D materials,in particular 2D semiconductors.Herein,we summarize the recent advances and developments on the SCTD of 2D semiconductors and its application in electronic and optoelectronic devices.The underlying mechanism of STCD processes on 2D semiconductors is briefly introduced.Its impact on tuning the fundamental properties of various 2D systems is highlighted.We particularly emphasize on the SCTD-enabled high-performance 2D functional devices.Finally,the challenges and opportunities for the future development of SCTD are discussed.

文摘Two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDCs)have demonstrated a huge potential in the broad fields of optoelectronic devices,logic electronics,electronic integration,as well as neural networks.To take full advantage of TMDC characteristics and efficiently design the device structures,one of the most key processes is to control their p-/n-type modulation.In this review,we summarize the p-/n-type modulation of TMDCs based on diverse strategies consisting of intrinsic defect tailoring,substitutional doping,surface charge transfer,chemical intercalation,electrostatic modulation,and dielectric interface engineering.The modulation mechanisms and comparisons of these strategies are analyzed together with a discussion of their corresponding device applications in electronics and optoelectronics.Finally,challenges and outlooks for p-/n-type modulation of TMDCs are presented to provide references for future studies.
