A dynamic topology optimization method of bi-material plate structures is presented based on power flow analysis. Topology optimization problems formulated directly with the design objective of minimizing the power flow response are dealt with. In comparison to the displacement or velocity response, the power flow response takes not only the amplitude of force and velocity into account, but also the phase relationship of the two vector quantities. The complex expression of power flow response is derived based on time-harmonic external mechanical loading and Rayleigh damping. The mathematical formulation of topology optimization is established based on power flow response and bi-material solid isotropic material with penalization(SIMP) model. Computational optimization procedure is developed by using adjoint design sensitivity analysis and the method of moving asymptotes(MMA). Several numerical examples are presented for bi-material plate structures with different loading frequencies, which verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this method. Additionally, optimum results between topological design of minimum power flow response and minimum dynamic compliance are compared, showing that the present method has strong adaptability for structural dynamic topology optimization problems. The proposed research provides a more accurate and effective approach for dynamic topology optimization of vibrating structures.展开更多

The objective of the proposed method is to find the steady state operation point in a power system which minimizes the fuel cost, while maintaining an acceptable system performance in terms of limits on generator power, line flow limits and voltage limits. In order to improvise the performance of the conventional PSO （cPSO）, the fine tuning parameters- the inertia weight and acceleration coefficients are formulated in terms of global-local best values of the objective function. These global-local best inertia weight （GLBestlW） and global-local best acceleration coefficient （GLBestAC） are incorporated into PSO in order to compute the optimal power flow solution. The proposed method has been tested on the standard IEEE 30 bus test system to prove its efficacy. The results are compared with those obtained through cPSO. It is observed that the proposed algorithm is computationally faster, in terms of the number of load flows executed and provides better results than the conventional heuristic techniques.展开更多

文摘An optimized volt-ampere reactive(VAR)control framework is proposed for transmission-level power systems to simultaneously mitigate voltage deviations and active-power losses through coordinated control of large-scale wind/solar farms with shunt static var generators(SVGs).The model explicitly represents reactive-power regulation characteristics of doubly-fed wind turbines and PV inverters under real-time meteorological conditions,and quantifies SVG high-speed compensation capability,enabling seamless transition from localized VAR management to a globally coordinated strategy.An enhanced adaptive gain-sharing knowledge optimizer(AGSK-SD)integrates simulated annealing and diversity maintenance to autonomously tune voltage-control actions,renewable source reactive-power set-points,and SVG output.The algorithm adaptively modulates knowledge factors and ratios across search phases,performs SA-based fine-grained local exploitation,and periodically re-injects population diversity to prevent premature convergence.Comprehensive tests on IEEE 9-bus and 39-bus systems demonstrate AGSK-SD’s superiority over NSGA-II and MOPSO in hypervolume(HV),inverse generative distance(IGD),and spread metrics while maintaining acceptable computational burden.The method reduces network losses from 2.7191 to 2.15 MW(20.79%reduction)and from 15.1891 to 11.22 MW(26.16%reduction)in the 9-bus and 39-bus systems respectively.Simultaneously,the cumulative voltage-deviation index decreases from 0.0277 to 3.42×10^(−4) p.u.(98.77%reduction)in the 9-bus system,and from 0.0556 to 0.0107 p.u.(80.76%reduction)in the 39-bus system.These improvements demonstrate significant suppression of line losses and voltage fluctuations.Comparative analysis with traditional heuristic optimization algorithms confirms the superior performance of the proposed approach.

文摘A low power 433 MHz CMOS （complementary metal- oxide-semiconductor transistor） low noise amplifier（LNA）, used for an ISM （ industrial-scientific-medical ） receiver, is implemented in a 0. 18 μm SMIC mixed-signal and RF （ radio frequency） CMOS process. The optimal noise performance of the CMOS LNA is achieved by adjusting the source degeneration inductance and by inserting an appropriate capacitance in parallel with the input transistor of the LNA. The measured results show that at 431 MHz the LNA has a noise figure of 2.4 dB. The S21 is equal to 16 dB, S11 = -11 dB, S22 = -9 dB, and the inverse isolation is 35 dB. The measured input 1-dB compression point （PtdB） and input third-order intermodulation product （IIP3）are - 13 dBm and -3 dBm, respectively. The chip area is 0. 55 mm × 1.2 mm and the DC power consumption is only 4 mW under a 1.8 V voltage supply.

文摘Work on dynamic topology optimization of engineering structures for vibration suppression has mainly addressed the maximization of eigenfrequencies and gaps between consecutive eigenfrequencies of free vibration, minimization of the dynamic compliance subject to forced vibration, and minimization of the structural frequency response. A dynamic topology optimization method of bi-material plate structures is presented based on power flow analysis. Topology optimization problems formulated directly with the design objective of minimizing the power flow response are dealt with. In comparison to the displacement or velocity response, the power flow response takes not only the amplitude of force and velocity into account, but also the phase relationship of the two vector quantities. The complex expression of power flow response is derived based on time-harmonic external mechanical loading and Rayleigh damping. The mathematical formulation of topology optimization is established based on power flow response and bi-material solid isotropic material with penalization(SIMP) model. Computational optimization procedure is developed by using adjoint design sensitivity analysis and the method of moving asymptotes(MMA). Several numerical examples are presented for bi-material plate structures with different loading frequencies, which verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this method. Additionally, optimum results between topological design of minimum power flow response and minimum dynamic compliance are compared, showing that the present method has strong adaptability for structural dynamic topology optimization problems. The proposed research provides a more accurate and effective approach for dynamic topology optimization of vibrating structures.

文摘Considering the uncertainty of grid connection of electric vehicle charging stations and the uncertainty of new energy and residential electricity load,a spatio-temporal decoupling strategy of dynamic reactive power optimization based on clustering-local relaxation-correction is proposed.Firstly,the k-medoids clustering algorithm is used to divide the reduced power scene into periods.Then,the discrete variables and continuous variables are optimized in the same period of time.Finally,the number of input groups of parallel capacitor banks(CB)in multiple periods is fixed,and then the secondary static reactive power optimization correction is carried out by using the continuous reactive power output device based on the static reactive power compensation device(SVC),the new energy grid-connected inverter,and the electric vehicle charging station.According to the characteristics of the model,a hybrid optimization algorithm with a cross-feedback mechanism is used to solve different types of variables,and an improved artificial hummingbird algorithm based on tent chaotic mapping and adaptive mutation is proposed to improve the solution efficiency.The simulation results show that the proposed decoupling strategy can obtain satisfactory optimization resultswhile strictly guaranteeing the dynamic constraints of discrete variables,and the hybrid algorithm can effectively solve the mixed integer nonlinear optimization problem.

文摘In covert communications,joint jammer selection and power optimization are important to improve performance.However,existing schemes usually assume a warden with a known location and perfect Channel State Information(CSI),which is difficult to achieve in practice.To be more practical,it is important to investigate covert communications against a warden with uncertain locations and imperfect CSI,which makes it difficult for legitimate transceivers to estimate the detection probability of the warden.First,the uncertainty caused by the unknown warden location must be removed,and the Optimal Detection Position(OPTDP)of the warden is derived which can provide the best detection performance(i.e.,the worst case for a covert communication).Then,to further avoid the impractical assumption of perfect CSI,the covert throughput is maximized using only the channel distribution information.Given this OPTDP based worst case for covert communications,the jammer selection,the jamming power,the transmission power,and the transmission rate are jointly optimized to maximize the covert throughput(OPTDP-JP).To solve this coupling problem,a Heuristic algorithm based on Maximum Distance Ratio(H-MAXDR)is proposed to provide a sub-optimal solution.First,according to the analysis of the covert throughput,the node with the maximum distance ratio(i.e.,the ratio of the distances from the jammer to the receiver and that to the warden)is selected as the friendly jammer(MAXDR).Then,the optimal transmission and jamming power can be derived,followed by the optimal transmission rate obtained via the bisection method.In numerical and simulation results,it is shown that although the location of the warden is unknown,by assuming the OPTDP of the warden,the proposed OPTDP-JP can always satisfy the covertness constraint.In addition,with an uncertain warden and imperfect CSI,the covert throughput provided by OPTDP-JP is 80%higher than the existing schemes when the covertness constraint is 0.9,showing the effectiveness of OPTDP-JP.

文摘To address the issue of coordinated control of multiple hydrogen and battery storage units to suppress the grid-injected power deviation of wind farms,an online optimization strategy for Battery-hydrogen hybrid energy storage systems based on measurement feedback is proposed.First,considering the high charge/discharge losses of hydrogen storage and the low energy density of battery storage,an operational optimization objective is established to enable adaptive energy adjustment in the Battery-hydrogen hybrid energy storage system.Next,an online optimization model minimizing the operational cost of the hybrid system is constructed to suppress grid-injected power deviations with satisfying the operational constraints of hydrogen storage and batteries.Finally,utilizing the online measurement of the energy states of hydrogen storage and batteries,an online optimization strategy based on measurement feedback is designed.Case study results show:before and after smoothing the fluctuations in wind power,the time when the power exceeded the upper and lower limits of the grid-injected power accounted for 24.1%and 1.45%of the total time,respectively,the proposed strategy can effectively keep the grid-injected power deviations of wind farms within the allowable range.Hydrogen storage and batteries respectively undertake long-term and short-term charge/discharge tasks,effectively reducing charge/discharge losses of the Battery-hydrogen hybrid energy storage systems and improving its operational efficiency.
文摘This paper proposes an efficient method for optimal power flow solution （OPF） using particle swarm optimization （PSO） technique. The objective of the proposed method is to find the steady state operation point in a power system which minimizes the fuel cost, while maintaining an acceptable system performance in terms of limits on generator power, line flow limits and voltage limits. In order to improvise the performance of the conventional PSO （cPSO）, the fine tuning parameters- the inertia weight and acceleration coefficients are formulated in terms of global-local best values of the objective function. These global-local best inertia weight （GLBestlW） and global-local best acceleration coefficient （GLBestAC） are incorporated into PSO in order to compute the optimal power flow solution. The proposed method has been tested on the standard IEEE 30 bus test system to prove its efficacy. The results are compared with those obtained through cPSO. It is observed that the proposed algorithm is computationally faster, in terms of the number of load flows executed and provides better results than the conventional heuristic techniques.
文摘Ensuring the reliability of power systems in microgrids is critical,particularly under contingency conditions that can disrupt power flow and system stability.This study investigates the application of Security-Constrained Optimal Power Flow(SCOPF)using the Line Outage Distribution Factor(LODF)to enhance resilience in a renewable energy-integrated microgrid.The research examines a 30-bus system with 14 generators and an 8669 MW load demand,optimizing both single-objective and multi-objective scenarios.The single-objective opti-mization achieves a total generation cost of$47,738,while the multi-objective approach reduces costs to$47,614 and minimizes battery power output to 165.02 kW.Under contingency conditions,failures in transmission lines 1,22,and 35 lead to complete power loss in those lines,requiring a redistribution strategy.Implementing SCOPF mitigates these disruptions by adjusting power flows,ensuring no line exceeds its capacity.Specifically,in contingency 1,power in channel 4 is reduced from 59 to 32 kW,while overall load shedding is minimized to 0.278 MW.These results demonstrate the effectiveness of SCOPF in maintaining stability and reducing economic losses.Unlike prior studies,this work integrates LODF into SCOPF for large-scale microgrid applications,offering a computationally efficient contingency management framework that enhances grid resilience and supports renewable energy adoption.
文摘Restructuring of power market not only introduces competition but also brings complexity which increases overloading of Transmission Lines(TL).To obviate this complexity,this paper aims to mitigate the overloading and estimate the optimal location of Static Synchronous Compensator(STATCOM) by reducing congestion for a deregulated power system.The proposed method is based on the use of Locational Marginal Price(LMP) difference technique and congestion cost.LMPs are obtained as a by-product of Optimal Power Flow(OPF),whereas Congestion Cost(CC) is a function of difference in LMP and power flows.The effiectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by reducing the CC and solution space which can identify the TLs more suitable for placement of STATCOM.Importantly,total real power loss,reactive power loss and total CC are the three main objective functions in this optimization process.The process is implemented by developing an IEEE-69 bus test system which verifies and validates the effectiveness of proposed optimization technique.Additionally,a comparative analysis is enumerated by implementing two optimization techniques:Flower Pollination Algorithm(FPA) and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO).The comparative analysis is sufficient to demonstrate the superiority of FPA technique over PSO technique in estimating an optimal placement of a STATCOM.The results from the load-flow analysis illustrate the reduction in CC,total real and reactive power loss using FPA technique compared to PSO technique.Overall,satisfactory results are obtained without using complex calculations which verify the effectiveness of optimization techniques.
文摘The Sine and Wormhole Energy Whale Optimization Algorithm(SWEWOA)represents an advanced solution method for resolving Optimal Power Flow(OPF)problems in power systems equipped with Flexible AC Transmission System(FACTS)devices which include Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator(TCSC),Thyristor-Controlled Phase Shifter(TCPS),and Static Var Compensator(SVC).SWEWOA expands Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA)through the integration of sine and wormhole energy features thus improving exploration and exploitation capabilities for efficient convergence in complex non-linear OPF problems.A performance evaluation of SWEWOA takes place on the IEEE-30 bus test system through static and dynamic loading scenarios where it demonstrates better results than five contemporary algorithms:Adaptive Chaotic WOA(ACWOA),WOA,Chaotic WOA(CWOA),Sine Cosine Algorithm Differential Evolution(SCADE),and Hybrid Grey Wolf Optimization(HGWO).The research shows that SWEWOA delivers superior generation cost reduction than other algorithms by reaching a minimum of 0.9%better performance.SWEWOA demonstrates superior power loss performance by achieving(P_(loss,min))at the lowest level compared to all other tested algorithms which leads to better system energy efficiency.The dynamic loading performance of SWEWOA leads to a 4.38%reduction in gross costs which proves its capability to handle different operating conditions.The algorithm achieves top performance in Friedman Rank Test(FRT)assessments through multiple performance metrics which verifies its consistent reliability and strong stability during changing power demands.The repeated simulations show that SWEWOA generates mean costs(C_(gen,min))and mean power loss values(P_(loss,min))with small deviations which indicate its capability to maintain cost-effective solutions in each simulation run.SWEWOA demonstrates great potential as an advanced optimization solution for power system operations through the results presented in this study.

文摘As a novel signaling technology,the power splitting receiver(PSR)simultaneously employs both the coherent and non-coherent signal processing.In order to improve its communication performance,an intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)is introduced into its signal propagation path.Consequently,an IRSaided PSR is concerned for a point-to-point(P2P)data link,where both the single-antenna and multiantenna deployments on the receiver are discussed.We aim at maximizing the capacity of the concerned P2P data-link by jointly optimizing the passive beamforming of IRS and the splitting ratio of PSR,either in single-antenna or multi-antenna case.However,owing to the coupling of multiple variables,the optimization problems are non-convex and challenging,especially in the later multi-antenna case.The proposed alternating-approximating algorithm(A-A),aided by semi-definite relaxation(SDR)and successive convex approximation(SCA)methods,etc.,successfully overcomes these challenges.We compare the IRS-aided PSR system that optimized by our proposed algorithm to the systems without IRS or PSR,and the systems without joint optimization.The simulation results show that our proposal has a better performance.
文摘Due to the climate-dependent nature of renewable energy sources(RESs),solving the optimal power flow(OPF)problem in power systems that integrate RESs,such as photovoltaic(PV)units and wind turbines(WTs),remains a significant challenge.To address this problem,this study presents an effective framework that incorporates solar and wind power generation.To manage the nonconvex and nonlinear characteristics of the OPF problem,a modified physics-inspired algorithm termed the Enhanced Coulomb’s and Franklin’s laws Algorithm(ECFA),is deployed.In the proposed OPF model,the power generated from RESs is considered a dependent variable,while voltages at buses equipped with RESs serve as decision variables.Real-time data on solar irradiation and wind speed are used to model the power outputs of PV units and WTs,respectively.Although the Coulomb’s and Franklin’s law algorithm(CFA)offers some advantages,it underperforms on complex optimization tasks compared to SSA,BA,SCA,ABC,and CFA.The enhanced version of the CFA improves the search process across the feasible space by incorporating diverse interaction methods and enhancing exploitation capabilities.The performance of the proposed ECFA is assessed through comprehensive comparisons with state-of-the-art methods for solving the OPF problem.
