However, its commercialization...Space-Based Solar Power(SBSP) presents a promising solution for achieving carbon neutrality and Renewable Electricity 100%(RE100) goals by offering a stable and continuous energy supply. However, its commercialization faces significant obstacles due to the technical challenges of long-distance microwave Wireless Power Transmission(WPT) from geostationary orbit. Even ground-based kilometer-scale WPT experiments remain difficult because of limited testing infrastructure, high costs, and strict electromagnetic wave regulations. Since the 1975 NASA-Raytheon experiment, which successfully recovered 30 kW of power over 1.55 km, there has been little progress in extending the transmission distance or increasing the retrieved power. This study proposes a cost-effective methodology for conducting long-range WPT experiments in constrained environments by utilizing existing infrastructure. A deep space antenna operating at 2.08 GHz with an output power of 2.3 kW and a gain of 55.3 dBi was used as the transmitter. Two test configurations were implemented: a 1.81 km ground-to-air test using an aerostat to elevate the receiver and a 1.82 km ground-to-ground test using a ladder truck positioned on a plateau. The rectenna consists of a lightweight 3×3 patch antenna array(0.9 m × 0.9 m), accompanied by a steering device and LED indicators to verify power reception. The aerostat-based test achieved a power density of 154.6 mW/m2, which corresponds to approximately 6.2% of the theoretical maximum. The performance gap is primarily attributed to near-field interference, detuning of the patch antenna, rectifier mismatch, and alignment issues. These limitations are expected to be mitigated through improved patch antenna fabrication, a transition from GaN to GaAs rectifiers optimized for lower input power, and the implementation of an automated alignment system. With these enhancements, the recovered power is expected to improve by approximately four to five times. The results demonstrate a practical and scalable framework for long-range WPT experiments under constrained conditions and provide key insights for advancing SBSP technology.展开更多

文摘Space-Based Solar Power(SBSP) presents a promising solution for achieving carbon neutrality and Renewable Electricity 100%(RE100) goals by offering a stable and continuous energy supply. However, its commercialization faces significant obstacles due to the technical challenges of long-distance microwave Wireless Power Transmission(WPT) from geostationary orbit.

文摘In GNSS-denied environments,signals of opportunity(SOP)offer an efficient and passive solution for navigation and positioning by utilizing ambient signals.Nevertheless,conventional SOP techniques face significant challenges in real-time processing,especially under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions,due to high data acquisition rates and offgrid errors.To address this,this paper proposes the signal reconstruction and kernel sparse encoding(SRKSE)model,a novel general framework for high-precision parameter estimation.By combining compressed sensing with a deep unfolding network,the SRKSE model not only achieves robust signal reconstruction but also effectively reduces quantization errors.Key innovations of SRKSE include dual crossattention mechanisms for enhanced feature extraction,sinc sparse kernel encoding to minimize quantization errors,and a custom loss function for balanced optimization.With these advancements,SRKSE achieves up to a 650-fold improvement in time of arrival(TOA)estimation accuracy while operating at just 1%of the Nyquist sampling rate.The SRKSE surpasses both conventional and deep learning-based techniques in accuracy and efficiency,especially when operating under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions.Simulations and real-world experiments confirm the reliability and potential of SRKSE for real-time applications in IoT and wireless communication.

文摘The real-time and accurate calculation of electricity indirect carbon emissions is not only the critical component for quantifying the carbon emission levels of the power system but also an effective mean to guide electricity users in carbon reduction and promote power industry low-carbon transformation.Fundamentally,calculating indirect carbon emissions involves allocating direct carbon emission data from the power source side,indicating that accurate indirect emission results rely on the precise measurement of power source emissions.However,existing research on indirect carbon emissions in large-scale power systems rarely accounts for variations in carbon emission characteristics under different operating conditions of power sources,such as rated/non-rated operating conditions and ramping up/down conditions,making it difficult to reflect source-side and load-side carbon emission information variation during providing ancillary services.Quadratic and exponential functions are proposed to characterize the energy consumption profiles of coal-fired and gas-fired power generation,respectively,to construct a refined carbon emission model for power sources.By leveraging the theory of power system carbon flow,we analyze how variable operating conditions of power sources impact indirect carbon emissions.Case studies demonstrate that changes in power source emissions under variable conditions have a significant effect on the indirect carbon emissions of power grids.
文摘In real industrial microgrids(MGs),the length of the primary delivery feeder to the connection point of the main substation is sometimes long.This reduces the power factor and increases reactive power absorption along the primary delivery feeder from the external network.Besides,the giant induction electro-motors as the working horse of industries requires remarkable amounts of reactive power for electro-mechanical energy conversions.To reduce power losses and operating costs of the MG as well as to improve the voltage quality,this study aims at providing an insightful model for optimal placement and sizing of reactive power compensation capacitors in an industrial MG.In the presented model,the objective function considers voltage profile and network power factor improvement at the MG connection point.Also,it realizes power flow equations within which all operational security constraints are considered.Various reactive power compensation strategies including distributed group compensation,centralized compensation at the main substation,and distributed compensation along the primary delivery feeder are scrutinized.A real industrial MG,say as Urmia Petrochemical plant,is considered in numerical validations.The obtained results in each scenario are discussed in depth.As seen,the best performance is obtained when the optimal location and sizing of capacitors are simultaneously determined at the main buses of the industrial plants,at the main substation of the MG,and alongside the primary delivery feeder.In this way,74.81%improvement in power losses reduction,1.3%lower active power import from the main grid,23.5%improvement in power factor,and 37.5%improvement in network voltage deviation summation are seen in this case compared to the base case.

文摘Ensuring reliable power supply in urban distribution networks is a complex and critical task.To address the increased demand during extreme scenarios,this paper proposes an optimal dispatch strategy that considers the coordination with virtual power plants(VPPs).The proposed strategy improves systemflexibility and responsiveness by optimizing the power adjustment of flexible resources.In the proposed strategy,theGaussian Process Regression(GPR)is firstly employed to determine the adjustable range of aggregated power within the VPP,facilitating an assessment of its potential contribution to power supply support.Then,an optimal dispatch model based on a leader-follower game is developed to maximize the benefits of the VPP and flexible resources while guaranteeing the power balance at the same time.To solve the proposed optimal dispatch model efficiently,the constraints of the problem are reformulated and resolved using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker(KKT)optimality conditions and linear programming duality theorem.The effectiveness of the strategy is illustrated through a detailed case study.

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Modern power systems increasingly depend on interconnected microgrids to enhance reliability and renewable energy utilization.However,the high penetration of intermittent renewable sources often causes frequency deviations,voltage fluctuations,and poor reactive power coordination,posing serious challenges to grid stability.Conventional Interconnection FlowControllers(IFCs)primarily regulate active power flowand fail to effectively handle dynamic frequency variations or reactive power sharing in multi-microgrid networks.To overcome these limitations,this study proposes an enhanced Interconnection Flow Controller(e-IFC)that integrates frequency response balancing and an Interconnection Reactive Power Flow Controller(IRFC)within a unified adaptive control structure.The proposed e-IFC is implemented and analyzed in DIgSILENT PowerFactory to evaluate its performance under various grid disturbances,including frequency drops,load changes,and reactive power fluctuations.Simulation results reveal that the e-IFC achieves 27.4% higher active power sharing accuracy,19.6% lower reactive power deviation,and 18.2% improved frequency stability compared to the conventional IFC.The adaptive controller ensures seamless transitions between grid-connected and islanded modes and maintains stable operation even under communication delays and data noise.Overall,the proposed e-IFCsignificantly enhances active-reactive power coordination and dynamic stability in renewable-integrated multi-microgrid systems.Future research will focus on coupling the e-IFC with tertiary-level optimization frameworks and conducting hardware-in-the-loop validation to enable its application in large-scale smart microgrid environments.
文摘The increasing integration of electric vehicle(EV)loads into power systems necessitates understanding their impact on stability.Small-magnitude perturbations,if persistent,can cause low-frequency oscillations,leading to synchronism loss and mechanical stress.This work analyzes the effect of voltage-dependent EV loads on this small-signal stability.The study models an EV load within a Single-Machine Infinite Bus(SMIB)system.It specifically evaluates the influence of EV charging through the DC link capacitor of a Unified Power Flow Controller(UPFC),a key device for damping oscillations.The system’s performance is compared to a modified version equipped with both a UPFC and a Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR)controller.Results confirm the significant influence of EV charging on the power network.The analysis demonstrates that the best performance is achieved with the SMIB system utilizing the combined UPFC and LQR controller.This configuration effectively dampens low-frequency oscillations,yielding superior results by reducing the system’s rise time,settling time,and peak overshoot.

文摘Accurate photovoltaic(PV)power generation forecasting is essential for the efficient integration of renewable energy into power grids.However,the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of PV power signals,driven by fluctuating weather conditions,pose significant challenges for reliable prediction.This study proposes a DOEP(Decomposition–Optimization–Error Correction–Prediction)framework,a hybrid forecasting approach that integrates adaptive signal decomposition,machine learning,metaheuristic optimization,and error correction.The PV power signal is first decomposed using CEEMDAN to extract multi-scale temporal features.Subsequently,the hyperparameters and window sizes of the LSSVM are optimized using a Segment-based EBQPSO strategy.The main novelty of the proposed DOEP framework lies in the incorporation of Segment-based EBQPSO as a structured optimization mechanism that balances elite exploitation and population diversity during LSSVM tuning within the CEEMDAN-based forecasting pipeline.This strategy effectively mitigates convergence instability and sensitivity to initialization,which are common limitations in existing hybrid PV forecasting models.Each IMF is then predicted individually and aggregated to generate an initial forecast.In the error-correction stage,the residual error series is modeled using LSTM,and the final prediction is obtained by combining the initial forecast with the predicted error component.The proposed framework is evaluated using two PV power plant datasets with different levels of complexity.The results demonstrate that DOEP consistently outperforms benchmark models across multiple error-based and goodness-of-fit metrics,achieving MSE reductions of approximately 15%–60%on the ResPV-BDG dataset and 37%–92%on the NREL dataset.Analyses of predicted vs.observed values and residual distributions further confirm the superior calibration and robustness of the proposed approach.Although the DOEP framework entails higher computational costs than single model methods,it delivers significantly improved accuracy and stability for PV power forecasting under complex operating conditions.

文摘The energy transition inspired by carbon neutrality targets and the increasing threat of extreme events raise multi-objective development requirements for power systems.This paper proposes a multi-objective resource allocation model to determine the type,number and location of flexible resources to increase the values of resilience,carbon reduction and renewable energy consumption.To evaluate the values of resilience,a restoration model for transmission systems is established that considers the coordination of fossil-fuel generators,energy storage systems(ESSs)and renewable energy generators in building restoration paths.The collaborative power-carbon-tradable green certificate(TGC)market model is then applied to evaluate the resource values in terms of carbon reduction and renewable energy consumption.Finally,the model is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming(MILP)with a nonconvex feasible domain,and the normalized normal constraint(NNC)method is applied to obtain approximate Pareto frontiers for decision makers.Case studies validate the effectiveness of the proposed model in improving multi-factor values and analyze the impact of resource regulation capacity on values of restoration and carbon reduction.

文摘Background:Low relative sit-to-stand(STS)power has emerged as a critical predictor of adverse health outcomes,such as frailty and disability,in older adults.However,its impact on falls,fractures,hospitalizations,and all-cause mortality remains unclear.Therefore,this longitudinal study aimed to investigate the potential associations between low relative STS power and these adverse health outcomes in older adults.Methods:A total of 1876 older adults(aged≥65 years,56.4%women)were included from the Toledo Study for Healthy Aging.Relative STS power was assessed using the 30-s STS test and the Alcazar equation.Participants were categorized as having low relative STS power based on previously established cut-off points(2.53 W/kg for men and 2.01 W/kg for women).Falls and fractures(hip and all-type)within the previous year were recorded.Hospitalizations and all-cause mortality were obtained during a follow-up of 6.8±3.1 years(mean±SD;median=7.8 years;interquartile range:3.9-10.1 years)and 9.7±3.5 years(median=10.9 years;interquartile range:8.2-12.5 years),respectively.Generalized linear mixed models,binary logistic regression,and proportional hazards regression adjusted for age,educational level,and comorbidities were used.Results:In men,low relative STS power was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of history of falls(odds ratio(OR)=1.73,95%confidence interval(95%CI):1.08-2.75,p=0.022)and all-type fractures(OR=1.86,95%CI:1.21-2.84,p=0.004)in the previous year.In women,low relative STS power was associated with a higher probability of hip fractures within the previous year(OR=3.25,95%CI:1.07-9.86,p=0.038).Low relative STS power predicted hospitalizations in women(hazard ratio(HR)=1.29,95%CI:1.06-1.58,p=0.012)and longer hospital stays in both men(p=0.020)and women(p=0.033).Low relative STS power significantly increased all-cause mortality in both men(HR=1.57,95%CI:1.26-1.97,p<0.001)and women(HR=2.04,95%CI:1.51-2.74,p<0.001).Conclusion:Low relative STS power was associated with history of hip fractures in women,whereas in men it was associated with history of falls and all-type fractures.Low relative STS power predicted hospitalizations in women but not in men.In both men and women,low relative STS power was associated with longer hospital stays and increased risk of all-cause mortality.

文摘We propose an optimization method based on evolutionary computation for the design of broadband high-efficiency current-biased reverse load-modulation power amplifiers(CB-RLM PAs).First,given the reverse load-modulation characteristics of CB-RLM PAs,a comprehensive objective function is proposed that combines multi-state impedance trajectory constraints with in-band performance deviations.For the saturation and 6 dB power back-off(PBO)states,approximately optimal impedance regions on the Smith chart are derived using impedance constraint circles based on load-pull simulations.These regions are used together with in-band performance deviations(e.g.,saturated efficiency,6 dB PBO efficiency,and saturated output power)for matching network optimization and design.Second,a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition with adaptive weights,neighborhood,and global replacement is integrated with harmonic balance simulations to optimize design parameters and evaluate performance.Finally,to validate the proposed method,a broadband CB-RLM PA operating from 0.6 to 1.8 GHz is designed and fabricated.Measurement results show that the efficiencies at saturation,6 dB PBO,and 8 dB PBO all exceed 43.6%,with saturated output power being maintained at 40.9–41.5 dBm,which confirms the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed broadband high-efficiency CB-RLM PA optimization and design approach.

文摘This paper proposes an equivalent modeling method for photovoltaic(PV)power stations via a particle swarm optimization(PSO)K-means clustering(KMC)algorithm with passive filter parameter clustering to address the complexities,simulation time cost and convergence problems of detailed PV power station models.First,the amplitude–frequency curves of different filter parameters are analyzed.Based on the results,a grouping parameter set for characterizing the external filter characteristics is established.These parameters are further defined as clustering parameters.A single PV inverter model is then established as a prerequisite foundation.The proposed equivalent method combines the global search capability of PSO with the rapid convergence of KMC,effectively overcoming the tendency of KMC to become trapped in local optima.This approach enhances both clustering accuracy and numerical stability when determining equivalence for PV inverter units.Using the proposed clustering method,both a detailed PV power station model and an equivalent model are developed and compared.Simulation and hardwarein-loop(HIL)results based on the equivalent model verify that the equivalent method accurately represents the dynamic characteristics of PVpower stations and adapts well to different operating conditions.The proposed equivalent modeling method provides an effective analysis tool for future renewable energy integration research.

文摘Various factors,including weak tie-lines into the electric power system(EPS)networks,can lead to low-frequency oscillations(LFOs),which are considered an instant,non-threatening situation,but slow-acting and poisonous.Considering the challenge mentioned,this article proposes a clustering-based machine learning(ML)framework to enhance the stability of EPS networks by suppressing LFOs through real-time tuning of key power system stabilizer(PSS)parameters.To validate the proposed strategy,two distinct EPS networks are selected:the single-machine infinite-bus(SMIB)with a single-stage PSS and the unified power flow controller(UPFC)coordinated SMIB with a double-stage PSS.To generate data under various loading conditions for both networks,an efficient but offline meta-heuristic algorithm,namely the grey wolf optimizer(GWO),is used,with the loading conditions as inputs and the key PSS parameters as outputs.The generated loading conditions are then clustered using the fuzzy k-means(FKM)clustering method.Finally,the group method of data handling(GMDH)and long short-term memory(LSTM)ML models are developed for clustered data to predict PSS key parameters in real time for any loading condition.A few well-known statistical performance indices(SPI)are considered for validation and robustness of the training and testing procedure of the developed FKM-GMDH and FKM-LSTM models based on the prediction of PSS parameters.The performance of the ML models is also evaluated using three stability indices(i.e.,minimum damping ratio,eigenvalues,and time-domain simulations)after optimally tuned PSS with real-time estimated parameters under changing operating conditions.Besides,the outputs of the offline(GWO-based)metaheuristic model,proposed real-time(FKM-GMDH and FKM-LSTM)machine learning models,and previously reported literature models are compared.According to the results,the proposed methodology outperforms the others in enhancing the stability of the selected EPS networks by damping out the observed unwanted LFOs under various loading conditions.
