Centered on the correlation of composition and structure, analyses by means of X-ray diffration （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM） and energy dispersive spectrometry （EDS） are conducted on the specimens, which have been PEO-treated under hybrid voltages of different direct current （DC） values （140-280 V） with constant alternate current （AC） amplitude （200 V）. Attention is paid to the composition, properties and growth mechanism of oxide layers formed with hybrid voltages. Moreover, the main effects of DC value are discussed. Ceramic layers with a double-layer structure which combines hard outer and soft inner layers are found to be consist of α-Al2O3,γ-Al2O3 and mullite. With the DC values increasing, the growth of the ceramic layers tends to have increasingly obvious three-stage feature.展开更多

Based on the symmetrical component theory, the torque pulsation is the consequence of the interaction of stator and rotor currents of different sequences. This paper presents a control technique to reduce the effect of unbalanced voltages on the DFIG in wind energy conversion systems. The negative sequence stator voltage is derived from the unbalanced three phase stator voltages. The compensated rotor voltage in terms of the derived negative sequence stator voltage and slip which minimizes the negative stator and rotor currents is proposed. The results from the simulation of control system with steady state model and dynamic model of the DFIG show that additional control loop with compensated voltage can significantly reduce torque and reactive power pulsations.展开更多

The evolution of discharging sparks during the PEO process under different anodic voltages was observed. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies, composition, bonding strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, thin-film X-ray diffraction （TF-XRD）, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry （EDS）, surface roughness, direct pull-off test, ball-on-disk friction and wear test and potentiodynamic polarization test, respectively. The results showed that the evolution of discharging sparks during the PEO process directly influenced the microstructure of the PEO coatings and further influences the properties. When the anodic voltage increased from 320 V to 400 V, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the coatings slowly increased, and all the bonding strength was higher than 60 MPa; further increasing the anodic voltages, especially up to 440 V, although the thickness and γ-AI203 crystallinity of the coatings further increased, the microstructure and properties of the coatings were obviously deteriorated.展开更多

Under a single electrostatic voltage, it is difficult to charge and absorb small particulates. A new method of superimposing an alternative voltage on the electrostatic voltage is provided in this paper. Characteristics of small particulates are analyzed under alternative and electrostatic voltages. It is demonstrated that an alternative voltage can significantly improve the collection efficiency in three aspects： preventing anti-corona, increasing the charge quantity of small particulates, and increasing the median particulate size by electric agglomeration. In addition, practical usage with the superposition of alternative voltage is provided, and the results are in agreement with the theoretical analysis.展开更多

The mechanism of improving the two BVs is investigated by analysing the leakage current components and by software simulation. The forward BV increases from 72 V to 149 V due to the good Schottky contact morphology. During the reverse bias, the buffer leakage in the Ohmic- drain HEMT increases significantly with the increase of the negative drain bias. For the Schottky-drain HEMT, the buffer leakage is suppressed effectively by the formation of the depletion region at the drain terminal. As a result, the reverse BV is enhanced from -5 V to -49 V by using a Schottky drain. Experiments and the simulation indicate that a Schottky drain is desirable for power electronic applications.展开更多

The approach was inspired by our finding that the classic instantaneous reactive power theory based algorithm was unsatisfactory in terms of isolating positive sequence fundamental active components exactly under non-ideal mains voltages. So, a modified ip-iq reference current calculation method was presented. With usage of the new method, not only the positive sequence but also the fundamental active current components can be accurately isolated from load current. A deadbeat closed-loop control model is built in order to eliminate both delay error and tracking error between reference voltages and compensation voltages under unbalanced and distorted mains voltages. Computer simulation results show that the proposed strategy is effective with better tracking ability and lower total harmonic distortion (THD). The strategy is also applied to a 10 kV substation with a local electrolysis manganese plant injecting a large amount of harmonics into the power system, and is proved to be more practical and efficient.展开更多

Because lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate is a solid solution of lead magnesium niobate （PMN） and lead titanate （PT）, there are two types of signals. One is wide with a time response of a microsecond, and the other superimposed with the wide signal is narrow with a time response of a nanosecond. The transverse LITV signals depend on the ratio of PMN to PT drastically. Under the irradiation of 28-ns pulsed KrF excimer laser with the 248-nm wavelength, the largest induced voltage is observed in the 0.50Pb（Mg1/3Nb2/3）O3-0.50 PbTiO3 films. Moreover, the effects of film thickness, substrates, and tilt angles of substrates are also investigated.展开更多

文摘Plasma electrolytic oxidation （PEO） coatings, formed under various anodic voltages （320-440 V） on biomedical NiTi alloy, are mainly composed of γ-AI203 crystal phase. The evolution of discharging sparks during the PEO process under different anodic voltages was observed. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies, composition, bonding strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, thin-film X-ray diffraction （TF-XRD）, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry （EDS）, surface roughness, direct pull-off test, ball-on-disk friction and wear test and potentiodynamic polarization test, respectively. The results showed that the evolution of discharging sparks during the PEO process directly influenced the microstructure of the PEO coatings and further influences the properties. When the anodic voltage increased from 320 V to 400 V, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the coatings slowly increased, and all the bonding strength was higher than 60 MPa; further increasing the anodic voltages, especially up to 440 V, although the thickness and γ-AI203 crystallinity of the coatings further increased, the microstructure and properties of the coatings were obviously deteriorated.

文摘The effect of substrate doping on the threshold voltages of buried channel pMOSFET based on strained-SiGe technology was studied.By physically deriving the models of the threshold voltages,it is found that the layer which inversely occurs first is substrate doping dependent,giving explanation for the variation of plateau observed in the C-V characteristics of this device,as the doping concentration increases.The threshold voltages obtained from the proposed model are-1.2805 V for buried channel and-2.9358 V for surface channel at a lightly doping case,and-3.41 V for surface channel at a heavily doping case,which agrees well with the experimental results.Also,the variations of the threshold voltages with several device parameters are discussed,which provides valuable reference to the designers of strained-SiGe devices.

文摘This paper reports that the transverse laser induced thermoelectric voltages （LITV） axe observed for the first time in the step flow growth （1- x）PD（Mg1/3Nb2/3）O3-xPbTiO3 （PMN-PT, x = 0.20, 0.33, 0.50） thin films deposited on vicinal-cut strontium titanate single crystal substrates. Because lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate is a solid solution of lead magnesium niobate （PMN） and lead titanate （PT）, there are two types of signals. One is wide with a time response of a microsecond, and the other superimposed with the wide signal is narrow with a time response of a nanosecond. The transverse LITV signals depend on the ratio of PMN to PT drastically. Under the irradiation of 28-ns pulsed KrF excimer laser with the 248-nm wavelength, the largest induced voltage is observed in the 0.50Pb（Mg1/3Nb2/3）O3-0.50 PbTiO3 films. Moreover, the effects of film thickness, substrates, and tilt angles of substrates are also investigated.

文摘Fault currents emanating from inverter-based resources(IBRs)are controlled to follow specific references to support the power grid during faults.However,these fault currents differ from the typical fault currents fed by synchronous generators,resulting in an improper operation of conventional phase selection methods(PSMs).In this paper,the relative angles between sequence voltages measured at the relay location are determined analytically in two stages:(1)a short-circuit analysis is performed at the fault location to determine the relative angles between sequence voltages;and(2)an analysis of the impact of transmission line on the phase difference between the sequence voltages of relay and fault is conducted for different IBR controllers.Consequently,new PSM zones based on relative angles between sequence voltages are devised to facilitate accurate PSM regardless of the fault currents,resistances,or locations of IBR.Comprehensive time-domain simulations confirm the accuracy of the proposed PSM with different fault locations,resistances,types,and currents.

文摘Although lithium-ion batteries are widely recognized as a new generation of energy storage devices,their large-scale application is severely hampered by their low energy density and restricted cyclic stability.Herein,an ingenious dual-modified interface,where the F-doping and fluorocarbon coating co-existed on Li[Ni_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)]O_(2)surface,is rationally constructed to elevate its energy density and structural stability attributed to F-grafting between the bulk material and the coating utilizing a robust super-conformal fluorocarbon coating structural framework and more stable F-doped system under high charge/discharge cut-off voltage.In comparison with a single carbon-coated modified Li[Ni_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)]O_(2),the dual-modified sample overcomes the fatal disadvantage of carbon coating stripping during long-period cycles ascribed to the“TM-F-multifunctional coating”connector which firmly combines the bulk material with the coating with a strong interaction force,exhibiting a more stable-reversible structure and excellent comprehensive electrochemical performance under high cut-off voltage.Concomitantly,the F-transition metal bonds with stronger bond energies improve its structural reversibility during the processes of charge/discharge under high voltage.Furthermore,the fluorocarbon coating enhances its charge transfer ability and effectively restrains the interfacial side reactions.Additionally,the climbing nudged elastic band methodology is used to calculate the diffusion energy barrier of lithium-ions in the matrix material,which confirms the fundamental reason for its superior lithium-ion diffusion ability.The high pseudocapacitance contribution ratio is perfectly explained by calculating the adsorption capacity on the surface of the dual-modified sample.Consequently,experiments and theoretical calculations unequivocally confirm its distinguished electrochemical properties under high cut-off voltage.

文摘Memristors have a synapse-like two-terminal structure and electrical properties,which are widely used in the construc-tion of artificial synapses.However,compared to inorganic materials,organic materials are rarely used for artificial spiking synapses due to their relatively poor memrisitve performance.Here,for the first time,we present an organic memristor based on an electropolymerized dopamine-based memristive layer.This polydopamine-based memristor demonstrates the improve-ments in key performance,including a low threshold voltage of 0.3 V,a thin thickness of 16 nm,and a high parasitic capaci-tance of about 1μF·mm^(-2).By leveraging these properties in combination with its stable threshold switching behavior,we con-struct a capacitor-free and low-power artificial spiking neuron capable of outputting the oscillation voltage,whose spiking fre-quency increases with the increase of current stimulation analogous to a biological neuron.The experimental results indicate that our artificial spiking neuron holds potential for applications in neuromorphic computing and systems.
