To address this, a biomimetic tactile multimodal sensing approach is introduced in this study, based on TriboElectric NanoGenerator (TENG) and Micro-ThermoElectric Generator (MTEG). This method enables actuators to identify the material properties of underwater target objects and to sense grasping states, such as pressure and relative sliding. In this study, a multi-dimensional underwater bionic tactile perception theoretical model is established, and a bionic sensing prototype with a sandwich-type structure is designed. To verify the performance of pressure feedback and material perception, pertinent experiments are conducted. The experimental results reveal that within a pressure measurement range of 0–16 N, the detection error of the sensor is 1.81%, and the maximum pressure response accuracy achieves 2.672 V/N. The sensing response time of the sensor is 0.981 s. The recovery time of the sensor is 0.97 s. Furthermore, the exceptional fatigue resistance of the sensor is also demonstrated. Based on the frequency of the output voltage from the prototype, the sliding state of the target object relative to the actuator can be sensed. In terms of material identification, the temperature response accuracy of the sensor is 0.072 V/°C. With the assistance of machine learning methods, six characteristic materials are identified by the sensor under 7 N pressure, with a recognition accuracy of 92.4%.

The directional moving of water molecules, which can be driven by gradient of functional groups and water evaporation, is vital for the electricity generation. Here, MEG composed of Graphene Oxide (GO-MEG) with gradient channels is constructed by one-step ice-templating technique, achieving a voltage of 0.48 V and a current of ~ 5.64 µA under humid condition. The gradient channels introduce Laplace pressure difference to the absorbed water droplets and electric potential between two side of the GO-MEG, facilitating the charge flow. Output voltage can be easily enhanced by increasing the structural gradient, reducing the channel size, incorporation of chemical gradient, or scaling up the number of GO-MEG units in series. This work not only provides insight for the working mechanism of GO-MEG with structural gradient, which can be applied to other functional materials, but also establishes a convenient and ecofriendly strategy to construct and finely tune the structural gradient in porous materials.展开更多

However,the design of the high-efficiency, mechanically durable hybrid structure is still challenging. In this study, we report a fully packaged triboelectric–electromagnetic hybrid generator(TEHG), in which magnets were utilized as the trigger to drive contact–separation-mode triboelectric nanogenerators(CS-TENGs) and coupled with copper coils to operate rotary freestanding-mode electromagnetic generators(RF-EMGs). The magnet pairs that produce attraction were used to transfer the external mechanical energy to the CS-TENGs, and packaging of the CS-TENGpart was achieved to protect it from the ambient environment. Under a rotatory speed of 100 rpm, the CS-TENGs enabled the TEHG to deliver an output voltage, current,and average power of 315.8 V, 44.6 μA, and ~ 90.7 μW,and the output of the RF-EMGs was 0.59 V, 1.78 m A, and 79.6 μW, respectively. The cylinder-like structure made the TEHG more easily driven by water flow and demonstrated to work as a practical power source to charge commercial capacitors. It can charge a 33μF capacitor from 0 to 2.1 V in 84 s, and the stored energy in the capacitor can drive an electronic thermometer and form a self-powered water-temperature sensing system.展开更多

Output voltage can be easily enhanced by increasing the structural gradient, reducing the channel size, incorporation of chemical gradient, or scaling up the number of GO-MEG units in series. This work not only provides insight for the working mechanism of GO-MEG with structural gradient, which can be applied to other functional materials, but also establishes a convenient and ecofriendly strategy to construct and finely tune the structural gradient in porous materials.

文摘We employed random distributions and gradient descent methods for the Generator Coordinate Method(GCM)to identify effective basis wave functions,taking halo nuclei ^(6)He and ^(6)Li as examples.By comparing the ground state(0^(+))energy of ^(6)He and the excited state(0^(+))energy of 6 Li calculated with various random distributions and manually selected generation coordinates,we found that the heavy tail characteristic of the logistic distribution better describes the features of the halo nuclei.Subsequently,the Adam algorithm from machine learning was applied to optimize the basis wave functions,indicating that a limited number of basis wave functions can approximate the converged values.These results offer some empirical insights for selecting basis wave functions and contribute to the broader application of machine learning methods in predicting effective basis wave functions.

文摘The power-electronics-based DC microgrid system composed of new energy sources in railway field has low inertia,weak damping characteristics,and the voltage fluctuation microgrid systems caused by the power disturbance of solar.In order to improve the inertia of the DC microgrid system,a virtual DC generator technology is adopted in the interface converter of photovoltaic(PV)power generation unit,so that it has the external characteristics of DC generator.However,the influence of PV maximum power point tracking(MPPT)is not considered in the traditional virtual DC generator control.Therefore,an improved control strategy for virtual DC generator is proposed,and its small signal model is established to analyze the influence of inertia and damping coefficient on stability.The results show that the proposed method effectively weakens the impact on DC bus voltage when the output of PV power unit changes suddenly,which improves the stability of the microgrid.Meanwhile,the correctness and feasibility of the method are verified.
文摘With the development of science and technology,the social demand for energy is also increasing.However,the traditional method of energy supply primarily relies on non-renewable resources for energy conversion.While this conventional approach can expedite the energy conversion process,it also results in irreversible ecological hazards.To solve the above problems,the use of renewable clean energy is proposed.In this paper,a droplet generator is proposed to integrate the rotating structure with the body effect power generation for the tiny energy of raindrops.This droplet generator can increase the speed of droplets leaving the dielectric layer and reduce the effect of continuously falling droplets on the droplet-based electricity generator(DEG).It is demonstrated that the instantaneous power of the generator can reach 0.9 mW,which can be a good solution to the power supply needs of some small power supply equipment,and thereafter is beneficial to the self-powering of the equipment in rainy days.
文摘Organic thermoelectric generators(TEGs)are flexible and lightweight,but they often have high electrical resistance,poor output power,and low mechanical durability,because of which their thermoelectric performance is poor.We used a facile and rapid solvent evaporation process to prepare a robust carbon nanotube/Bi0.45Sb1.55Te3(CNT/BST)foam with a high thermoelectric figure of merit(zT).The BST sub-micronparticles effectively create an electrically conductive network within the three-dimensional porous CNT foam to greatly improve the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient and reinforce the mechanical strength of the composite against applied stresses.The CNT/BST foam had a zT value of 7.8×10^(−3)at 300 K,which was 5.7 times higher than that of pristine CNT foam.We used the CNT/BST foam to fabricate a flexible TEG with an internal resistance of 12.3Ωand an output power of 15.7μW at a temperature difference of 21.8 K.The flexible TEG showed excellent stability and durability even after 10,000 bending cycles.Finally,we demonstrate the shapeability of the CNT/BST foam by fabricating a concave TEG with conformal contact on the surface of a cylindrical glass tube,which suggests its practical applicability as a thermal sensor.

文摘To address the excessive complexity of monthly scheduling and the impact of uncertain net load on the chargeable energy of storage,a reduced time-period monthly scheduling model for thermal generators and energy storage,incorporating daily minimum chargeable energy constraints,was developed.Firstly,considering the variations in the frequency of unit start-ups and shutdowns under different levels of net load fluctuation,a method was proposed to reduce decision time periods for unit start-up and shut-down operations.This approach,based on the characteristics of net load fluctuations,minimizes the decision variables of units,thereby simplifying the monthly schedulingmodel.Secondly,the relationship between energy storage charging and discharging power,net load,and the total maximum/minimum output of units was analyzed.Based on this,daily minimum chargeable energy constraints were established to ensure the energy storage system meets charging requirements under extreme net load scenarios.Finally,taking into account the operational costs of thermal generators and energy storage,load loss costs,and operational constraints,the reduced time-period monthly schedulingmodel was constructed.Case studies demonstrate that the proposedmethod effectively generates economical monthly operation plans for thermal generators and energy storage,significantly reduces model solution time,and satisfies the charging requirements of energy storage under extreme net load conditions.

文摘Progress has been developed in harvesting lowfrequency and irregular blue energy using a triboelectric–electromagnetic hybrid generator in recent years. However,the design of the high-efficiency, mechanically durable hybrid structure is still challenging. In this study, we report a fully packaged triboelectric–electromagnetic hybrid generator(TEHG), in which magnets were utilized as the trigger to drive contact–separation-mode triboelectric nanogenerators(CS-TENGs) and coupled with copper coils to operate rotary freestanding-mode electromagnetic generators(RF-EMGs). The magnet pairs that produce attraction were used to transfer the external mechanical energy to the CS-TENGs, and packaging of the CS-TENGpart was achieved to protect it from the ambient environment. Under a rotatory speed of 100 rpm, the CS-TENGs enabled the TEHG to deliver an output voltage, current,and average power of 315.8 V, 44.6 μA, and ~ 90.7 μW,and the output of the RF-EMGs was 0.59 V, 1.78 m A, and 79.6 μW, respectively. The cylinder-like structure made the TEHG more easily driven by water flow and demonstrated to work as a practical power source to charge commercial capacitors. It can charge a 33μF capacitor from 0 to 2.1 V in 84 s, and the stored energy in the capacitor can drive an electronic thermometer and form a self-powered water-temperature sensing system.
文摘The basic concepts and advantages of more/all electric aircraft （M/AEA） are briefly addressed. The combined starter/generator （CS/G） system is introduced as a key technology to enable M/AEA. Some important performance requirements for CS/G system are obtained. Based on these requirements, a high speed switched reluctance machine （SRM） is designed to operate as a starter/generator. The entire design process is mainly divided into two stages： electromagnetic design and thermal design. In electromagnetic design stage, the electromagnetic structure and dimensions of the machine and the number of phase winding turns per pole are obtained; the topology and main technical details of the converter are briefly introduced as well. In thermal design stage, a liquid-cooling system is designed based on the thermal analysis of the machine. In the end, the performances of the designed SRM are basically verified by simulation. To get high performances, the exciting angles are optimized in two different operating modes respectively, and the optimized performances in the motoring mode are given as well.
