The detection of fault, fault classification, and random changes of direction of fault current cannot always be monitored and determined via on-line by conventional fault diagnosis system due to DG penetration. In this paper, a fault current characterization which based on fuzzy logic algorithm (FLA) is proposed. Fault detection, fault classification, and fault current direction are extracted after processing the measurement result of three-phase line current. The ability of fault current characterization based on FLA is reflected in directional overcurrent relay (DOCR) model. The proposed DOCR model has been validated in microgrid test system simulation in Matlab environment. The simulation result showed accurate result for different fault location and type. The proposed DOCR model can operate as common protection device (PD) unit as well as unit to improve the effectiveness of existing fault diagnosis system when DG is present.展开更多

One interesting result of the numerical analysis is the direct characterization of the interface state density and characteristic gate voltage values corresponding to LDD effective surface doping concentration. It is observed that the S/D N- surface doping concentration and corresponding region's interface state density are R-G current peak position and amplitude dependent, respectively. It is convincible that the proposed method is well suitable for the characterization of deep sub-micron MOSFET's in the current ULSI technology.展开更多

Pore dimensions are 450 nm in diameter and 1 μm in length. The pores are electrically characterized in aqueous KCl electrolyte, exhibiting a stable time-independent ionic current through the pore with a noise level of less than 1% of the open-pore current. The current-voltage curves are linear and scale with electrolyte concentration. The negative surface charge of the membrane over-proportionally decreases pore conductance at low electrolyte concentrations (≤0.1 M) that are still beyond those typically applied in biological experiments. Pores do not exhibit rectification of current flowing through them, allowing for operation with either polarity. To allow for detection of yet much smaller particles, the described PMMA-based system also was successfully equipped with pores of 1.5 nm instead of 450 nm in diameter. This was achieved by introducing naturally occurring biological protein pores of α-hemolysin on a lipid bilayer into the prepatterned PMMA membrane of an assembled PMMA-based electrophoretic flow detector system. Characteristics of translocation events of single-stranded linear plasmid DNA molecules through the pores were recorded, and ionic current deductions during biomolecule translocation were clear and distinguished. Based on the presented submicron scale open pore ionic current transport properties, as well as the observed passage of DNA molecules through protein pores inserted into PMMA membranes, our current research proposes that all PMMA electrophoretic flow detectors exhibit an excellent potential for future use as biomedical resistive-pulse sensors, as long as pore dimensions match those of biomolecules to be detected.展开更多

The system provides surface currents with fine spatial resolution every hour. Prior to its use for model validation, the accuracy of the radar data was verified through comparison with measurements from acoustic Doppler current profilers （ADCPs） and a good correlation between time series of surface current speeds and directions obtained from radar data and ADCP data. Since Galway Bay is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, it is subject to relatively windy conditions, and surface currents are therefore strongly wind-driven. With a view to assimilating the radar data for forecasting purposes, a three-dimensional numerical model of Galway Bay, the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code （EFDC）, was developed based on a terrain-following vertical （sigma） coordinate system. This study shows that the performance and accuracy of the numerical model, particularly with regard to tide- and wind-induced surface currents, are sensitive to the vertical layer structure. Results of five models with different layer structures are presented and compared with radar measurements. A variable vertical structure with thin layers at the bottom and the surface and thicker layers in the middle of the water column was found to be the optimal layer structure for reproduction of tideand wind-induced surface currents. This structure ensures that wind shear can properly propagate from the surface layer to the sub-surface layers, thereby ensuring that wind forcing is not overdamped by tidal forcing. The vertical layer structure affects not only the velocities at the surface layer but also the velocities further down in the water column.展开更多

The promoting effects of current on the bio-oil reforming were studied. It was found that the performance of the bio-oil reforming was remarkably enhanced by the current which passed through the catalyst. The effects of currents on the microcosmic properties of the catalyst, including the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET） surface area, pore diameter, pore volume, the size of the crystallites and the reduction level of NiO into Ni, were carefully characterized by BET, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. The desorption of the thermal electrons from the electrified catalyst was directly observed by the TOF （time of flight） measurements. The mechanism of the electrochemical catalytic reforming of bio-oil is discussed based on the above investigation.展开更多

The nanohardness of Ti–Al surface alloy increased significantly compared with a-Ti substrate due to the nanostructure and enhanced dislocation. Since the e-beam remelted repeatedly, the Ti–Al surface alloy mixed sufficiently with Ti substrate. Moreover, there is no obvious boundary between the alloyed layer and substrate.展开更多

文摘Mid-and high-frequency resonance(MHFR)is highly likely to occur at the sending end of voltage source con-verter-based ultra-high voltage direct current(VSC-UHVDC)for large-scale renewable energy transmission.It is of great im-portance to investigate the resonance characteristics and the corresponding suppression strategies.Firstly,this paper intro-duces the overall'control scheme of VSC-UHVDC for large-scale renewable energy transmission.Then,the impedance mod-els of VSC under grid-forming control with AC voltage coordi-nated control are established.The mid-and high-frequency im-pedance characteristics of VSC-UHVDC are analyzed.The key factors affecting the impedance characteristics have been re-vealed,including the AC voltage control,the voltage feedfor-ward,the inner current loop,the positive-sequence and nega-tive-sequence independent control(PSNSIC),and the control de-lay.The MHFR characteristics at the sending-end system are analyzed in the whole operation process,including the black start and the normal power transmission operation.An integrat-ed control scheme is proposed to address the MHFR problems.Finally,extensive case studies are conducted on a planned VSC-UHVDC project to verify the theoretical analysis.
文摘为突破冯·诺伊曼架构的能效与数据吞吐瓶颈,基于脉冲神经网络的存算一体化架构对底层非易失性存储器的性能提出严苛要求。在众多新型存储器中,自旋转移矩磁性随机存储器(spin-transfer torque magnetic random access memory,STT-MRAM)凭借纳秒级读写速度、极高耐久性、出色的数据保持能力、低功耗以及与互补金属-氧化物-半导体(complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor,CMOS)工艺的后端兼容性,成为极具潜力的候选器件。STTMRAM的核心元件为磁隧道结(magnetic tunnel junction,MTJ),其通过电流直接驱动磁化翻转的物理机制是实现快速读写和低功耗操作的关键。系统综述STT-MRAM快速翻转动力学机理与性能优化策略的最新研究进展,重点分析MTJ核心结构参数(如自由层材料、垂直磁各.向异性能等)对其翻转性能和可靠性的影响规律,并对先进电学表征技术进行详细介绍,为面向存算一体应用的高性能STT-MRAM设计提供理论依据与技术路径。
