Based on dictionary of Gabor atoms and matching pursuit algorithm, the method extracts the atomic components iteratively from the feature signals and translated them to damped sinusoidal components. Then we can obtain the parametrical and analytical representation of atomic components. The termination condition of decomposing iteration is determined by the threshold of the initial residual energy with the purpose of extract the features more effectively. Accordingly, the proposed method can extract the starting and ending moment of disturbances precisely as well as their magnitudes, frequencies and other features. The numerical examples demonstrate its effectiveness.展开更多

Accordingly this paper puts forward the resistance choosing principle: the resistance grounding coefficient must be equal to or greater than 10. So it can not only wipe out the voltage sag and voltage swell but also make sure the overvoltage is limited to electrical equipment allowing range. The method mentioned above is verified by simulation results of a 110 kV power system in ATP.展开更多

The study and measurements show that soil layering and lead interference can have a significant impact on the appropriate test location that yields the exact substation ground impedance. Applying a specific percentage rule such as the 61.8% rule for uniform soils to obtain the true ground impedance may lead to unacceptable errors for large grounding systems. This poses significant problems when attempting to validate a design based on raw test data that are interpreted using approximate methods to evaluate substation ground impedance, and determine ground potential rise (GPR), touch and step voltages. Advanced measurement methodologies and modern software packages were used to obtain and effectively analyze fall of potential test data, compute fault current distribution, and evaluate touch and step voltages for this large substation. Fault current distribution between the grounding system and other metallic paths were computed to determine the portion of fault current discharged in the grounding system. The performance of the grounding system, including its GPR and touch and step voltages, has been accurately computed and measured, taking into account the impedance of the steel material used of the ground conductors and circulating currents within the substation grounding system.展开更多

The electric current can pose a major threat to the man’s life and health. In addition to pose a threat for health, the rise of the short circuit, as a consequence of insulation faults, poses a threat to retirement of electric systems and fire risks. The reliable grounding system design has significant implications for protection of human being as well as for electrical facility protection. The set objective was performed on the base of analytical and software-based methods. Analytical method gives a qualitative indication at each step in analysis. It also allows evaluating the values effect on the result, but the method is not susceptible of tolerable accuracy, that is why analytical method serves as initial approximation in differentiating. Specified estimation can be performed in such software package as MATLAB or ETAP. Software-based estimation is based on the finite element method (FEM), the main advantage of which is the ability to create different forms of grounding and allows obtaining distribution graphs of the step potential on the earth’s surface and touch potential. The calculation results in comparison of analytical and software-based methods taking into account the grounding optimization. There are conclusions on the most effective ground network.展开更多

It is the world’s largest long-distance horizontally elongated joint grounding system, which stretches the length of hundreds to thousands of kilometers, and its structure is not only different from power station and substation grounding system, but also different from the transmission line tower, lightning rod and other small grounding devices. There is little research information on the grounding impedance of high-speed railway integrated grounding system. This paper adopted 0.618 compensation method and reverse away method respectively, measured a section of high-speed railway integrated grounding system grounding impedance by JD16 and CA6425. Measurement results are in good agreement using those two type instrument. By using 0.618 compensation method, the measurement result will be gradually converged at 0.3 Ω with the increasing of current electrode distance, which is the real grounding impedance of integrated grounding system. By using reverse away method, the maximum measurement result difference is less than 0.024 Ω with the lead of current electrode distance increasing. The measurement results will be rapidly converged 0.25 Ω. The results showed that the reverse away method is helpful to shorten the length of current electrode wiring. The measurement error will be small when the current electrode wiring is longer.展开更多

The derived equations arise from direct application of basic electromagnetic equations in frequency domain, whose solution is obtained by the application of the Moment Methods. A formulation based on experimental measurements is applied to quantify the soil parameters for each frequency.

Results show that the inclusion of frequency dependence of the soil parameters leads to a reduction of the values of grounding impedance, in comparison with results for soils with parameters independent of frequency.展开更多

The general grounding problem is to find the optimal locations of these points so that the security and reli ability of power system can be improved. This paper presents a practical approach to find the optimal location of GPs based on the ratios of zero sequence reactance with positive sequence reactance (X0/X1), zero sequence resistance with positive sequence reactance (R0/X1) and Ground Fault Factor (GFF). The optimal values of these indicators were deter-mined by considering several scenarios of fault disturbances such as single line to ground on a selected area of the Iraqi National Grid (132 KV) taking into account the statue of GPs for transformers in the other substations. From the presented results in this paper, it is noted that GFF calculated for some substations could be used to measure the effectiveness of GPs. However, the operated time of relay can be taken as a criterion of this measurement for selecting the best location of GPs.展开更多

文摘Ground source heat pump systems demonstrate significant potential for northern rural heating applications;however,the effectiveness of these systems is often limited by challenging geological conditions.For instance,in certain regions,the installation of buried pipes for heat exchangers may be complicated,and these pipes may not always serve as efficient low-temperature heat sources for the heat pumps of the system.To address this issue,the current study explored the use of solar-energy-collecting equipment to supplement buried pipes.In this design,both solar energy and geothermal energy provide low-temperature heat to the heat pump.First,a simulation model of a solar‒ground source heat pump coupling system was established using TRNSYS.The accuracy of this model was validated through experiments and simulations on various system configurations,including varying numbers of buried pipes,different areas of solar collectors,and varying volumes of water tanks.The simulations examined the coupling characteristics of these components and their influence on system performance.The results revealed that the operating parameters of the system remained consistent across the following configurations:three buried pipes,burial depth of 20 m,collector area of 6 m^(2),and water tank volume of 0.5 m^(3);four buried pipes,burial depth of 20 m,collector area of 3 m^(2),and water tank volume of 0.5 m^(3);and five buried pipes with a burial depth of 20 m.Furthermore,the heat collection capacity of the solar collectors spanning an area of 3 m^(2)was found to be equivalent to that of one buried pipe.Moreover,the findings revealed that the solar‒ground source heat pump coupling system demonstrated a lower annual cumulative energy consumption compared to the ground source heat pump system,presenting a reduction of 5.31%compared to the energy consumption of the latter.
文摘With the development of society, China's economy is growing rapidly. With the gradual improvement of people's living standards, electricity has become an indispensable part of our lives, affecting people's lives and the development of the national economy all the time.
文摘This paper presents the development of a new technique to monitor the operating conditions of a grounding device of high voltage apparatus and systems without any diggings and forced outages. The model is based on the evaluation of the magnetic field distribution along the current-carrying horizontal element when it has been deteriorated or broken. A mathematical model which can be used to analyze and evaluate the integrity of the grounding device has been developed. Computer simulation studies were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
文摘This paper purports to expound a special(technical)notion of paths.A neglected fundamental fact(especially under indeterminism)is that the path-dependent direction of any diachronic outcome is backward,i.e.,later steps depend on earlier ones successively,despite the ineradicable chance in their respective formation.In this paper,a token-oriented retrospective approach is proposed to overcome the limitation of the type-oriented approach in explaining path-related phenomena.My argument for the validity and utility of this approach is largely based on the elements of(PD),a definitional schema for diachronic sequences subject to a recursive counterfactual formula.I explore certain aspects of path individuation that have so far not been discussed,despite(PD)’s formal congeniality with Lewis’s‘causal chain’.Two basic patterns of path generation are examined:the first is for distinguishing actual vs possible branching paths,while the second introduces a metaphysical theme regarding the retrospective grounding of the causal status of an upstream event by its downstream(joint)effect.A central example of the paper,viz.,the Gobang game,is used to illustrate how the token-oriented approach works for path individuation.

文摘A three-dimensional coupled sea ice-ice shelf-ocean numerical model is developed for the Prydz Bay,Antarctica,using the Regional Ocean Modeling System with a grid resolution of approximately 2 km.The influence of the grounding giant iceberg D15 on the distribution of sea ice and polynyas in the Prydz Bay is analyzed through two numerical experiments.Iceberg D15,grounded off the western edge of the West Ice Shelf(WIS),obstructs the southwestward transport of sea ice along the east coast of Prydz Bay,causing sea ice to accumulate to the east of the iceberg and form multi-year fast ice.Grounding of Iceberg D15 also decreases sea ice coverage off its south edge and creates ice-free openings in spring near Davis Station and Zhongshan Station,facilitating the accessibility of vessels to the research stations.These simulated sea ice patterns closely match current satellite observations.When Iceberg D15 is removed,the previously blocked sea ice north of the iceberg,which moved westward,shifts southwesterly along the coastline,leading to a reduction in sea ice thickness during winter and spring,as well as lower sea ice concentrations in spring across large areas north and west of the iceberg.In contrast,the sea ice thickness increases considerably southwest of the WIS,extending to the front of the Amery Ice Shelf during seasons covered by sea ice.The increase in sea ice concentration can also extend to as far as 75°E in spring.Without Iceberg D15,which previously contributed to the ice barrier of Barrier Polynya(BP),the shape of BP changes,the area of BP and Davis Polynya(DP)decreases,and the polynya off the northwest edge of the WIS near 83°E expands.These polynya patterns are much similar to the satellite remote sensing observations before Iceberg D15 was grounded.From April to October,the total area of BP and DP decreases by 2.83×10^(4)km^(2)(60%)and 2.20×10^(3)km^(2)(20%),respectively,while the total sea ice production decreases by 4.11×10^(10)m^(3)(66%)and 1.52×10^(10)m^(3)(52%)compared to the experiment with iceberg.These results indicate the substantial effects of grounding giant icebergs on the spatio-temporal distribution of sea ice,the area of polynyas,and sea ice production.High-resolution Antarctic coastal numerical models,typically with grid scales of kilometers,are sufficient to represent large icebergs,and adding the grounding giant icebergs is crucial for producing realistic simulations of sea ice and polynyas.
