文摘To address the issues of high costs and low component utilization caused by the independent configuration of hybrid DC circuit breakers(HCBs)and DC power flow controllers(DCPFCs)at each port in existing DC distribution networks,this paper adopts a component sharing mechanism to propose a composite multi-port hybrid DC circuit breaker(CM-HCB)with DC power flow and fault current limitation abilities,as well as reduced component costs.The proposed CM-HCB topology enables the sharing of the main breaker branch(MB)and the energy dissipation branch,while the load commutation switches(LCSs)in the main branch are reused as power flow control components,enabling flexible regulation of power flow in multiple lines.Meanwhile,by reconstructing the current path during the fault process,the proposed CM-HCB can utilize the internal coupled inductor to limit the current rise rate at the initial stage of the fault,significantly reducing the requirement for breaking current.A detailed study on the topological structure,steady-state power flow regulation mechanism,transient fault isolation mechanism,control strategy and characteristic analysis of the proposed CM-HCB is presented.Then,a Matlab/Simulink-based meshed three-terminal DC grid simulation platform with the proposed CM-HCB is built.The results indicate that the proposed CM-HCB can not only achieve flexible power flow control during steady-state operation,but also obtain current rise limitation and fault isolation abilities under short-circuit fault conditions,verifying its correctness and effectiveness.Finally,a comparative economic analysis is conducted between the proposed CM-HCB and the other two existing solutions,confirming that its component sharing mechanism can significantly reduce the number of components,lower system costs,and improve component utilization.

文摘Yogyakarta was struck by a devastating Mw6.3 earthquake,which intensified awareness about the seismic hazards in the region.This study investigates the kinematic slip rate and seismogenic depth of the northern segment of Opak Fault and an unmapped fault known as Ngalang Fault in Yogyakarta,utilizing Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)data collected between 2019 and 2023.By deploying a network of 12 GNSS stations alongside continuous observations from the InaCORS network,we perfo rmed a detailed geodetic analysis to discern current defo rmation patterns.To quantify the slip rate,we established a frame of reference using the Sundaland Block's rotational parameters and applied the Euler pole angular velocity to transform daily GNSS solutions acco rdingly.The findings reveal significant left-lateral strike-slip motion in the northern segment of Opak Fault,with a slip rate averaging 3 mm/yr and a locking depth of 2.1 km in Northern Segment,whereas the slip rate averages 1.1 mm/yr and the locking depth is estimated at 1 km in the Ngalang Fault,indicating active geological movements that may influence future seismicity.

文摘Battery energy storage systems bolster power grids’absorption capacity,however,battery safety issues remain a formidable challenge.Timely and pre-cise fault diagnosis,coupled with early-stage fault warn-ings,is crucial.This study introduces an eigen decompo-sition-based multi-fault diagnosis approach for lithi-umion battery packs,enabling online diagnosis of short circuits,electrical connection faults,and voltage sensor malfunctions.By incorporating an interleaved measurement topology,precise fault type differentiation is achieved.Eigenvector matching analysis is employed to increase sensitivity to fault characteristics and enhance robustness.The interleaved topology can be seamlessly integrated using common voltage measurement solutions,eliminating the need for additional design complexities,while sensor number redundancy enhances fault tolerance of battery management systems(BMS).A cloud-side collaboration method is proposed,where the BMS functions as an edge device for specific data computations,while the parameters are fine-tuned by the server through big data analytics.This approach circumvents cumbersome server calculations,thereby curbing server cost escalation.The edge computing process is divided into two steps,with partial calculations often sufficient to evaluate battery safety,thus reducing the computational load on edge devices.Several battery tests are conducted,and the results confirm the method’s capability,feasibility,and validity in early-stage fault diagnosis.
文摘Grid-Forming(GFM)converters are prone to fault-induced overcurrent and power angle instability during grid fault-induced voltage sags.To address this,this paper develops a multi-loop coordinated fault ridethrough(FRT)control strategy based on a power outer loop and voltage-current inner loops,aiming to enhance the stability and current-limiting capability of GFM converters during grid fault conditions.During voltage sags,the GFM converter’s voltage source behavior is maintained by dynamically adjusting the reactive power reference to provide voltage support,thereby effectively suppressing the steady-state component of the fault current.To address the active power imbalance induced by voltage sags,a dynamic active power reference correction method based on apparent power is designed to mitigate power angle oscillations and limit transient current.Moreover,an adaptive virtual impedance loop is implemented to enhance dynamic transient current-limiting performance during the fault initiation phase.This approach improves the responsiveness of the inner loop and ensures safe system operation under various fault severities.Under asymmetric fault conditions,a negative-sequence reactive current compensation strategy is incorporated to further suppress negative-sequence voltage and improve voltage symmetry.The proposed control scheme enables coordinated operation of multiple control objectives,including voltage support,current suppression,and power angle stability,across different fault scenarios.Finally,MATLAB/Simulink simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy,showcasing its superior performance in current limiting and power angle stability,thereby significantly enhancing the system’s fault ride-through capability.

文摘The shallow slip deficit(SSD)during strike-slip earthquakes raises a question of how the strain budget is accommodated over multiple cycles.However,the origin of variable SSD observed in different earthquakes is still under debate because each earthquake has its unique initial stress condition.Here,we derive the slip model of the 2021 M_(W) 7.4 Maduo earthquake in Qinghai,China,using multi-track radar images.Our results revealed that,in contrast to the large SSD on segments close to the epicenter,a much smaller SSD was observed at the west terminus of the rupture,where aftershock distribution indicates that the fault changes dip direction at 6 km depth.The 2021 Maduo earthquake thus represents an extraordinary case of significant along-strike SSD variation.After accounting for interseismic,postseismic,and diffuse off-fault deformation,we find that this variation is likely contributed by the along-dipping geometrical variation,implying that a multi-segment earthquake may leave heterogeneous stress condition on the fault with different amounts of SSD.

文摘This paper investigates the reliability of internal marine combustion engines using an integrated approach that combines Fault Tree Analysis(FTA)and Bayesian Networks(BN).FTA provides a structured,top-down method for identifying critical failure modes and their root causes,while BN introduces flexibility in probabilistic reasoning,enabling dynamic updates based on new evidence.This dual methodology overcomes the limitations of static FTA models,offering a comprehensive framework for system reliability analysis.Critical failures,including External Leakage(ELU),Failure to Start(FTS),and Overheating(OHE),were identified as key risks.By incorporating redundancy into high-risk components such as pumps and batteries,the likelihood of these failures was significantly reduced.For instance,redundant pumps reduced the probability of ELU by 31.88%,while additional batteries decreased the occurrence of FTS by 36.45%.The results underscore the practical benefits of combining FTA and BN for enhancing system reliability,particularly in maritime applications where operational safety and efficiency are critical.This research provides valuable insights for maintenance planning and highlights the importance of redundancy in critical systems,especially as the industry transitions toward more autonomous vessels.

文摘Knowledge graphs,which combine structured representation with semantic modeling,have shown great potential in knowledge expression,causal inference,and automated reasoning,and are widely used in fields such as intelligent question answering,decision support,and fault diagnosis.As high-speed train systems become increasingly intelligent and interconnected,fault patterns have grown more complex and dynamic.Knowledge graphs offer a promising solution to support the structured management and real-time reasoning of fault knowledge,addressing key requirements such as interpretability,accuracy,and continuous evolution in intelligent diagnostic systems.However,conventional knowledge graph construction relies heavily on domain expertise and specialized tools,resulting in high entry barriers for non-experts and limiting their practical application in frontline maintenance scenarios.To address this limitation,this paper proposes a fault knowledge modeling approach for high-speed trains that integrates structured logic diagrams with knowledge graphs.The method employs a seven-layer logic structure—comprising fault name,applicable vehicles,diagnostic logic,signal parameters,verification conditions,fault causes,and emergency measures—to transform unstructured knowledge into a visual and hierarchical representation.A semantic mapping mechanism is then used to automatically convert logic diagrams into machine-interpretable knowledge graphs,enabling dynamic reasoning and knowledge reuse.Furthermore,the proposed method establishes a three-layer architecture—logic structuring,knowledge graph transformation,and dynamic inference—to bridge human-expert logic with machinebased reasoning.Experimental validation and system implementation demonstrate that this approach not only improves knowledge interpretability and inference precision but also significantly enhances modeling efficiency and system maintainability.It provides a scalable and adaptable solution for intelligent operation and maintenance platforms in the high-speed rail domain.

文摘Deep learning-based wind turbine blade fault diagnosis has been widely applied due to its advantages in end-to-end feature extraction.However,several challenges remain.First,signal noise collected during blade operation masks fault features,severely impairing the fault diagnosis performance of deep learning models.Second,current blade fault diagnosis often relies on single-sensor data,resulting in limited monitoring dimensions and ability to comprehensively capture complex fault states.To address these issues,a multi-sensor fusion-based wind turbine blade fault diagnosis method is proposed.Specifically,a CNN-Transformer Coupled Feature Learning Architecture is constructed to enhance the ability to learn complex features under noisy conditions,while a Weight-Aligned Data Fusion Module is designed to comprehensively and effectively utilize multi-sensor fault information.Experimental results of wind turbine blade fault diagnosis under different noise interferences show that higher accuracy is achieved by the proposed method compared to models with single-source data input,enabling comprehensive and effective fault diagnosis.

文摘To ensure the safe and stable operation of rotating machinery,intelligent fault diagnosis methods hold significant research value.However,existing diagnostic approaches largely rely on manual feature extraction and expert experience,which limits their adaptability under variable operating conditions and strong noise environments,severely affecting the generalization capability of diagnostic models.To address this issue,this study proposes a multimodal fusion fault diagnosis framework based on Mel-spectrograms and automated machine learning(AutoML).The framework first extracts fault-sensitive Mel time–frequency features from acoustic signals and fuses them with statistical features of vibration signals to construct complementary fault representations.On this basis,automated machine learning techniques are introduced to enable end-to-end diagnostic workflow construction and optimal model configuration acquisition.Finally,diagnostic decisions are achieved by automatically integrating the predictions of multiple high-performance base models.Experimental results on a centrifugal pump vibration and acoustic dataset demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves high diagnostic accuracy under noise-free conditions and maintains strong robustness under noisy interference,validating its efficiency,scalability,and practical value for rotating machinery fault diagnosis.

文摘This paper proposes a fault-tolerant control scheme for Euler-Lagrange systems that ensures the tracking error decays to a pre-specified accuracy level within a prescribed time period,despite unknown actuation characteristics and potential fading powering faults.By performing deliberately designed coordinate transformations on the tracking error,the complex and demanding problem of“reaching specified precision within a given time”is transformed into a bounded control problem,facilitating the development of the control scheme.To enhance practicality,the design incorporates smooth function fitting and dynamic surface control techniques.Additionally,the proposed control algorithm is robust to faults,effectively handling a combination of fading powering faults and additive actuator faults without requiring additional human intervention.Numerical simulations on a two-link robotic manipulator verify the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.
文摘Deep learning-based methods have shown great potential in intelligent bearing fault diagnosis.However,most existing approaches suffer from the scarcity of labeled data,which often results in insufficient robustness under complex working conditions and a general lack of interpretability.To address these challenges,we propose a physics-informed multimodal fault diagnosis framework based on few-shot learning,which integrates a 2D timefrequency image encoder and a 1Dvibration signal encoder.Specifically,we embed prior knowledge ofmulti-resolution analysis from signal processing into the model by designing a Laplace Wavelet Convolution(LWC)module,which enhances interpretability since wavelet coefficients naturally correspond to specific frequency and temporal structures.To further balance the guidance of physical priors with the flexibility of learnable representations,we introduce a parametric multi-kernel wavelet that employs channel-wise dynamic attention to adaptively select relevant wavelet bases,thereby improving the feature expressiveness.Moreover,we develop a Mahalanobis-Prototype Joint Metric,which constructs more accurate and distribution-consistent decision boundaries under few-shot conditions.Comprehensive experiments on the Case Western Reserve University(CWRU)and Paderborn University(PU)bearing datasets demonstrate the superior effectiveness,robustness,and interpretability of the proposed approach compared with state-of-the-art baselines.
文摘This study focuses on permanent surface dislocations caused by a strike-slip fault in an alluvial valley.A twodimensional mathematical model is utilized,considering the valley to have a half-cylindrical shape.The valley medium is assumed to be isotropic,linear elastic and nonhomogeneous,such that the shear modulus of the valley has spatial dependency.The valley is surrounded by an isotropic,linear elastic and homogeneous half-space.A strike-slip fault is located at the intersection between the valley and the half-space.The problem is solved analytically by using finite Fourier transform.Displacement functions are obtained in closed-form,in terms of power series and hypergeometric function series.Unknown coefficients of these series are determined from the boundary conditions,leading to an analytical exact solution.Numerical results indicate that the nonhomogeneity of the alluvial valley material has a limited impact on permanent surface dislocations unless there is a significant variation in the material properties within the functionally graded zone.In many cases,approximating the nonhomogeneous alluvial valley as a homogeneous medium is suitable.

文摘This paper investigates the consensus tracking control problem for high order nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to non-affine faults,partial measurable states,uncertain control coefficients,and unknown external disturbances.Under the directed topology conditions,an observer-based finite-time control strategy based on adaptive backstepping and is proposed,in which a neural network-based state observer is employed to approximate the unmeasurable system state variables.To address the complexity explosion problem associated with the backstepping method,a finite-time command filter is incorporated,with error compensation signals designed to mitigate the filter-induced errors.Additionally,the Butterworth low-pass filter is introduced to avoid the algebraic ring problem in the design of the controller.The finite-time stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously analyzed with the finite-time Lyapunov stability criterion,validating that all closed-loop signals of the system remain bounded within a finite time.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified through a simulation example.

文摘This study examines a 1.32 m thick sediment sequence from the Cunge sag pond in the Litang Basin,eastern Tibetan Plateau,to assess the seismicity of the Litang fault during the Holocene.High-resolution geochemical,grain size,magnetic susceptibility,and total organic carbon indicators are employed to obtain a continuous record of changes in elemental,physical,and biological properties within the profile to identify seismic events.The seismic event layer generally comprises two sedimentary rhythms:a lower coarse sand layer and an upper fine silt-clay layer.These layers represent rapid deposition associated with fault activity(Earthquake A)and slower deposition during calm periods or earthquake recurrence intervals(Seismic interval A).Through six^(14)C dating,five seismic events have been identified in the Cunge sag pond section:E1(before 3955 a B.P.),E2(3713-3703 a B.P.),E3(3492-3392 a B.P.),E4(2031-1894 a B.P.),and E5(1384-1321 a B.P.).E1-E4 had shown a good consistency with the paleo-earthquake recorded by the trench,and whereas E5 is a newly identified seismic event,further improving the continuous earthquake sequence of the Litang fault.Based on existing trench data and the seismic event record from the Cunge sag pond,a total of 11 paleo-earthquakes are identified along the Litang fault since the Holocene.The paleo-earthquake activity of the Litang fault exhibits a clustered pattern,with recurrence intervals of both long periods(1000 a)and short periods(500 a).Since 5000 a,the interval between strong earthquake recurrences gradually decreases,indicating an increasing risk of strong earthquakes along the Litang fault.This study presents a continuous record of paleo-earthquakes along the Litang fault,eastern Tibetan Plateau,and can enhance the understanding of regional seismic activity.
