文摘The rapid development of wind energy in the power sectors raises the question about the reliability of wind turbines for power system planning and operation.The electrical subsystem of wind turbines(ESWT),which is one of the most vulnerable parts of the wind turbine,is investigated in this paper.The hygrothermal aging of power electronic devices(PEDs)is modeled for the first time in the comprehensive reliability evaluation of ESWT,by using a novel stationary“circuit-like”approach.First,the failure mechanism of the hygrothermal aging,which includes the solder layer fatigue damage and packaging material performance degradation,is explained.Then,a moisture diffusion resistance concept and a hygrothermal equivalent circuit are proposed to quantitate the hygrothermal aging behavior.A conditional probability function is developed to calculate the time-varying failure rate of PEDs.At last,the stochastic renewal process is simulated to evaluate the reliability for ESWT through the sequential Monte Carlo simulation,in which failure,repair,and replacement states of devices are all included.The effectiveness of our proposed reliability evaluation method is verified on an ESWT in a 2 MW wind turbine use time series data collected from a wind farm in China.

文摘Federated Learning(FL)provides an effective framework for efficient processing in vehicular edge computing.However,the dynamic and uncertain communication environment,along with the performance variations of vehicular devices,affect the distribution and uploading processes of model parameters.In FL-assisted Internet of Vehicles(IoV)scenarios,challenges such as data heterogeneity,limited device resources,and unstable communication environments become increasingly prominent.These issues necessitate intelligent vehicle selection schemes to enhance training efficiency.Given this context,we propose a new scenario involving FL-assisted IoV systems under dynamic and uncertain communication conditions,and develop a dynamic interval multi-objective optimization algorithm to jointly optimize various factors including training experiments,system energy consumption,and bandwidth utilization to meet multi-criteria resource optimization requirements.For the problem at hand,we design a dynamic interval multi-objective optimization algorithm based on interval overlap detection.Simulation results demonstrate that our method outperforms other solutions in terms of accuracy,training cost,and server utilization.It effectively enhances training efficiency under wireless channel environments while rationally utilizing bandwidth resources,thus possessing significant scientific value and application potential in the field of IoV.

文摘We discuss recent progress in using machine-learning(ML)-enabled inverse design techniques applied to photonic devices and components.Specifically,we highlight the design of optical sources,including fiber and semiconductor lasers,as well as Raman and semiconductor optical amplifiers.Although inverse design approaches for optical detectors remain relatively underexplored,we examine optical layers,particularly metamaterial absorbers,as promising candidates for high-performance optical detection.In addition,we underscore advancements in inverse designing passive optical components,including beam splitters,gratings,and optical fibers.These optical blocks are fundamental in developing next-generation standalone optical communication systems and optical sensing networks,including integrated sensing and communication technologies.While categorizing various reported deep learning architectures across five paradigms,we offer a paradigm-based perspective that reveals how different ML techniques function within modern inverse design methods and enable fast,data-driven solutions that significantly reduce design time and computational demands compared with traditional optimization methods.

文摘Silver bismuth sulfide(AgBiS_(2))has recently attracted increasing attention as a promising environmentally friendly semiconductor for next-generation optoelectronic applications,including photovoltaics and photodetection,due to its favorable energy band structure,strong light absorption,high dielectric constant,and low toxicity.Despite notable advances,research on AgBiS_(2) remains in its early stages,with key challenges related to synthetic control,defect passivation,and device engineering.For example,while the power conversion efficiency of AgBiS_(2)-based solar cells has improved rapidly,the current record efficiency of 10.84%remains far below the theoretical Shockley-Queisser limit(-26%).Similarly,AgBiS_(2)-based photodetectors exhibit detectivities around 10^(12)Jones,lagging behind state-of-the-art materials.This review provides a comprehensive summary of recent advances in the crystal structures,synthetic strategies,optoelectronic properties,and device architectures of AgBiS_(2).We highlight key achievements in solar cells,photodetectors,and thin-film transistors,while critically analyzing the remaining bottlenecks in material synthesis,defect modulation,and charge transport optimization.Finally,the broader application potential of AgBiS_(2) in flexible electronics,infrared imaging,buildingintegrated photovoltaics,photocatalysis,spintronics,and biomedicine is discussed.By offering insights into both current progress and future directions,this review aims to support the development of highperformance,multifunctional AgBiS_(2)-based optoelectronic devices.
