文摘Grid-forming(GFM)control is a key technique for power systems with high penetration of converter-interfaced generation.However,its application to photovoltaic(PV)systems faces challenges related to DC voltage transient stability.This paper investigates a common countermeasure involving a PI-based DC voltage controller for GFM-PV systems,revealing that their small-signal stability is sensitive to parameter tuning.The study develops a generalized DC voltage-dominated 2nd-order GFM model and successfully conducts complex torque analysis,showing that this approach can be effectively extended to other dynamics governed by DC voltage-dominated GFM systems.Subsequently,the paper establishes a stability criterion for GFM-PV systems and proposes a parameter tuning method for DC voltage controllers that incorporates damping margin considerations.The performance of the tuned single-machine-infinite-bus GFM-PV system is validated on the RT-LAB real-time simulation platform under scenarios involving solar irradiance fluctuations and grid frequency disturbances.The proposed method proves effective in ensuring the stability of the GFM-PV system,with robust theoretical support.

文摘Micro/nano devices(MNDs)are characterized by miniaturization,high precision,and multifunctional integration,making them highly suitable for use in areas such as microrobotics,biomedical devices and electronic sensors.Their fabrication requires exceptional precision in structural integrity,material control,and functional integration.Traditional micro/nano fabrication techniques face inherent limitations in constructing complex three-dimensional(3D)architectures and integrating multiple materials.While additive manufacturing(AM)provides flexibility,challenges remain in material alignment control,microstructural organization,and multifunctional integration.To overcome these limitations,field-assisted additive manufacturing(FAM)has emerged as a promising approach that combines magnetic,acoustic,or electric fields to regulate material alignment,microstructural organization,and spatial alignment.This capability improves fabrication precision,enhances material anisotropy and facilitates functional integration.This review systematically explores the mechanisms,fabrication process,and functional integration of FAM in the framework of nozzle-based and vat photopolymerization-based,while further exploring their applications in microrobotics,biomedical devices,and electronic sensors.Moreover,this review provides a comparative overview of different FAM approaches,highlighting their respective characteristics,typical applications,and unique advantages.In addition,the major challenges facing FAM research are comprehensively assessed and future directions are explored,including advances in spatial precision control capability,intelligent control for process integration,and multi-field coupling optimization.This review establishes a foundational theoretical framework that can serve as a systematic reference for micro/nano manufacturing researchers to promote the development of FAM for high-performance micro/nano device fabrication.

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.
