With the recent advancement of 5G technologies, non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) has been used at relay node to transmit multiple messages simultaneously to multiple cell-edge users. In this paper, a Collaborative NOMA Assisted Relaying(CNAR) system for 5G is proposed by enabling the collaboration of source-relay(S-R) and relay-destination(R-D) NOMA links. The relay node of the CNAR decodes the message for itself from S-R NOMA signal and transmits the remaining messages to the multiple cell-edge users in R-D link. A simplified-CNAR(S-CNAR) system is then developed to reduce the relay complexity. The outage probabilities for both systems are analyzed by considering outage behaviors in S-R and R-D links separately. To guarantee the data rate, the optimal power allocation among NOMA users is achieved by minimizing the outage probability. The ergodic sum capacity in high SNR regime is also approximated. Our mathematical analysis and simulation results show that CNAR system outperforms existing transmission strategies and S-CNAR reaches similar performance with much lower complexity.展开更多

Bad tracking performance will cause assistant torque delay, and make road feeling bad, and is influenced by the input steering torque and system measuring noise. However the existing methods have some shortages on system＇s robust dynamic performance and robust stability. The mixed H2/H∞ strategy for recirculating ball-type EPS system in a pure electric bus is proposed, and vehicle dynamic model of the system is established. Due to the existence of system model uncertainty, disturbance signals, sensor noises and the demand of system dynamic performance, the indexes of robust performance and road feeling for drivers are defined as the appraisal control objectives. The H∞ method is introduced to design the H∞ controller, and the H2 method is applied to optimize the H∞ controller, thus the mixed H2/H∞ controller is designed. The response of EPS system to the motor current command with amplitude of 20 A, the road disturbance with amplitude of 500 N and the sensor random noise with the amplitude of 1 A is simulated. The simulation results show that the recirculating ball-type EPS system with the mixed H2/H∞ controller can attenuate the random noises and disturbances and track the boost curve well, so the mixed H2/H∞ controller can improve the system＇s robust performance and dynamic performance. For the purpose of verifying the performance of the designed control strategy, the motor current tracking performance ground tests are conducted with step response input of the steering wheel, double-lane steering test and lemniscate steering test, respectively. The tests show that the mixed H2/H∞ controller for the recirculating ball-type EPS system of pure electric bus is feasible. The designed controller can solve the robust performance and robust stability of the system, thus improve the tracking performance of the EPS system and provide satisfied road feeling for the drivers.展开更多

文摘Solid-state batteries are widely recognized as the next-generation energy storage devices with high specific energy,high safety,and high environmental adaptability.However,the research and development of solid-state batteries are resource-intensive and time-consuming due to their complex chemical environment,rendering performance prediction arduous and delaying large-scale industrialization.Artificial intelligence serves as an accelerator for solid-state battery development by enabling efficient material screening and performance prediction.This review will systematically examine how the latest progress in using machine learning(ML)algorithms can be used to mine extensive material databases and accelerate the discovery of high-performance cathode,anode,and electrolyte materials suitable for solid-state batteries.Furthermore,the use of ML technology to accurately estimate and predict key performance indicators in the solid-state battery management system will be discussed,among which are state of charge,state of health,remaining useful life,and battery capacity.Finally,we will summarize the main challenges encountered in the current research,such as data quality issues and poor code portability,and propose possible solutions and development paths.These will provide clear guidance for future research and technological reiteration.

文摘The power generation performance of a heaving body wave energy converter(HBWEC)can be enhanced through strategic deployment in proximity to natural or artificial coastal structures.In this study,coastal structures are represented by a partial reflection wall,enabling the device to harness additional reflected wave energy.However,the mechanisms by which the reflection coefficient and the clearance between the wall and the device affect energy conversion performance remain inadequately understood.This study experimentally investigates these effects.The findings demonstrate that the clearance impact on HBWEC power performance near partial reflection walls aligns with standing wave variation characteristics,with optimal positioning near the second antinode of the HBWEC's heaving natural period.Enhanced reflection coefficients improve energy conversion efficiency within the wave spectrum around the device's heaving natural period.Additionally,significant water sloshing observed within the clearance may diminish power performance,as verified through computational fluid dynamics(CFD)analysis.This phenomenon results from the multiplicative relationship of leeside clearance with 0.5λ(λis the wavelength).These insights suggest that practical engineering implementation requires balanced consideration of reflection coefficient,clearance,sloshing phenomenon,and heaving restriction system,rather than individual parameter optimization.

文摘Critical for metering and protection in electric railway traction power supply systems(TPSSs),the measurement performance of voltage transformers(VTs)must be timely and reliably monitored.This paper outlines a three-step,RMS data only method for evaluating VTs in TPSSs.First,a kernel principal component analysis approach is used to diagnose the VT exhibiting significant measurement deviations over time,mitigating the influence of stochastic fluctuations in traction loads.Second,a back propagation neural network is employed to continuously estimate the measurement deviations of the targeted VT.Third,a trend analysis method is developed to assess the evolution of the measurement performance of VTs.Case studies conducted on field data from an operational TPSS demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in detecting VTs with measurement deviations exceeding 1%relative to their original accuracy levels.Additionally,the method accurately tracks deviation trends,enabling the identification of potential early-stage faults in VTs and helping prevent significant economic losses in TPSS operations.

文摘AIM:To evaluate the influence of ocular biometric parameters on the performance of actual near-add power in the spectacle plane of multifocal intraocular lenses(MIOLs).METHODS:This retrospective study defined prediction error(PE)as the difference between actual postoperative near-add power and manufacturer-predicted values.Linear regression assessed PE correlations with axial length(AL),mean keratometry(K),pupil size,anterior chamber depth(ACD),lens thickness(LT),ACD+0.5×LT,and back-calculated IOL power.Differences in PE across MIOLs types,AL,K,pupil size,ACD,LT,ACD+0.5×LT,and back-calculated IOL power groups were compared.RESULTS:Totally 250 eyes of 250 patients(116 males and 134 females,mean age 56.22±12.31y)who underwent phacoemulsification with MIOL implantation were reviewed.PE showed no significant correlation with most parameters but had a weak positive correlation with LT.The mean predicted error(MPE)in the AL≤22,26–27,and 27–28 mm groups were 0.83(0.51,1.01)D,0.78(0.51,1.07)D,and 0.72(0.57,0.94)D respectively(P<0.001).The MPE in the K between the 45–46 D groups was 0.78(0.37,1.07)D(P=0.0004).The MPE in the LT between the 4.5–5.0 mm groups and≥5 mm was 0.72(0.50,1.01)D and 0.72(0.51,1.01)D respectively(P<0.001).The MPE in the back-calculated IOL power≥25 D was 0.86(0.60,1.01)D(P<0.001).CONCLUSION:Although there is no significant linear relationship between near-add power and most ocular biometry parameters,and specific segments of AL,K,LT,and IOL power have a significant impact on the near-add power of MIOLs.These factors should be taken into account in preoperative evaluations.

文摘Cu nanoparticles exhibit excellent properties as high-temperature-resistant,conductive,heat-dissipating,and connecting materials.However,their susceptibility to oxidation poses a major challenge to the production of high-quality sintered bodies in the air,severely limiting their widespread adoption in power electronics packaging.This study presents a novel approach to the synthesis of Cu nanoparticles capped with oleylamine ligands.By employing a simple solvent-cleaning process,effective control of the density of oleylamine ligands on particle surfaces was achieved,resulting in high-performance Cu nanoparticles with both oxidation resistance and air-sintering susceptibility.Moreover,through our research,the solvent-cleaning mechanism was clarified,a model for the oleylamine ligand decomposition was developed,the air-sintering behavior of Cu nanoparticles was analyzed,and the impacts of both the sintered bodies and interfaces on the sintering performance were explained.Additionally,Cu nanoparticles subjected to 5 cleaning rounds followed by sintering at 280℃and 5 MPa in air were confirmed to be able to produce the highest shear strength(49.2±3.51 MPa)and lowest resistivity(6.15±0.32μΩ·cm).Based on these results,flexible capacitive pressure sensors with Cu sintered electrodes were fabricated and demonstrated a stable pressure-capacitance response over the temperature range of 25-250℃.These findings underscore the impressive robustness and durability of sintered structures and the potential for high-temperature applications of oleylamine-capped Cu nanoparticles.Our study provides reliable application demonstrations for the low-cost manufacture of high-performance power electronics packaging structures that can operate in high-current-density,high-heat-flow-density,high-temperature,and high-stress environments.

文摘Existing power forecasting models struggle to simultaneously handle high-dimensional,noisy load data while capturing long-term dependencies.This critical limitation necessitates an integrated approach combining dimensionality reduction,temporal modeling,and robust prediction,especially for multi-day forecasting.A novel hybrid model,SLHS-TCN-XGBoost,is proposed for power demand forecasting,leveraging SLHS(dimensionality reduction),TCN(temporal feature learning),and XGBoost(ensemble prediction).Applied to the three-year electricity load dataset of Seoul,South Korea,the model’s MAE,RMSE,and MAPE reached 112.08,148.39,and 2%,respectively,which are significantly reduced in MAE,RMSE,and MAPE by 87.37%,87.35%,and 87.43%relative to the baseline XGBoost model.Performance validation across nine forecast days demonstrates superior accuracy,with MAPE as low as 0.35%and 0.21%on key dates.Statistical Significance tests confirm significant improvements(p<0.05),with the highest MAPE reduction of 98.17%on critical days.Seasonal and temporal error analyses reveal stable performance,particularly in Quarter 3 and Quarter 4(0.5%,0.3%)and nighttime hours(<1%).Robustness tests,including 5-fold cross-validation and Various noise perturbations,confirm the model’s stability and resilience.The SLHS-TCN-XGBoost model offers an efficient and reliable solution for power demand forecasting,with future optimization potential in data preprocessing,algorithm integration,and interpretability.

文摘The need for efficient thermal energy systems has gained significant attention due to the growing global concern about renewable energy resources,particularly in residential buildings.One of the biggest challenges in this area is capturing and converting solar energy at maximum efficiency.This requires the use of strong materials and advanced fluids to enhance conversion efficiency while minimizing energy losses.Despite extensive research on thermal energy systems,there remains a limited understanding of how the combined effects of thermal radiation,irreversibility processes,and advanced heat flux models contribute to optimizing solar power performance in residential applications.Addressing these knowledge gaps is critical for advancing the design and implementation of highly efficient thermal energy systems.Owing to its usage,this study investigates the thermal energy and irreversibility processes in the context of solar power systems for residential buildings.Specifically,it explores the influence of thermal radiation and the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model,considering the interactions over a stretching surface.The study incorporates cross fluid and Maxwell fluid effects into the governing model equations.Utilizing the Galerkin-weighted residual method,the transformed model is solved to understand the impacts on heat distribution.The findings reveal that increased thermal radiation and thermal conductivity significantly enhance heat distribution,offering valuable insights for optimizing solar power system efficiency in residential applications.
文摘Enhancing the efficiency of Rankine cycles is crucial for improving the performance of thermal power plants,as it directly impacts operational costs and emissions in light of energy transition goals.This study sets itself apart from existing research by applying a novel optimization technique to a basic ideal Rankine cycle,focusing on a specific power plant that has not been previously analyzed.Currently,this cycle operates at 41%efficiency and a steam quality of 76%,constrained by fixed operational parameters.The primary objectives are to increase thermal efficiency beyond 46%and raise steam quality above 85%,while adhering to operational limits:a boiler pressure not exceeding 15 MPa,condenser pressure not dropping below 10 kPa,and turbine temperature not surpassing 500℃.This study utilizes numerical simulations to model the effects of varying boiler pressure(Pb)and condenser pressure(Pc)within the ranges of 12MPa<Pb<15 MPa and 5 kPa<Pc<10 kPa.By systematically adjusting these parameters,the proposed aimto identify optimal conditions that maximize efficiency and performance within specified constraints.The findings will provide valuable insights for power plant operators seeking to optimize performance under real-world conditions,contributing to more efficient and sustainable power generation.
文摘Based on the theoretical analyses, the dynamic and mathematical models of the system were developed. The models were implemented in the ambit of the Matlab/Simulink environment, and an integrated simulation model was developed. The dynamic performance of the power shift clutch during engagement and disengagement was studied by using this assembly model. The sliding speed, torque transmitted through the clutch, and the rate at which energy is dissipated during the process were determined. Using this model, the calculation during simulation can be simplified. This lays a foundation for the dynamic performance research on the power train with the power shift clutch, and provides a powerful tool for developing an automatic, electronically controlled transmission.
文摘An optimal design method for an aircraft low-power thermoelectric refrigeration system（TRS）is proposed using an existing experimental model as the research platform under given aircraft flight conditions.The variation curves of the cooling capacities and the refrigeration coefficients of the system running at three flight altitudes are investigated.The performance of the system is evaluated by the minimum-entropy-generation method and the performance penalty is also calculated.The power variation curves of the cooling system are obtained by an electric power experiment.The peak values of these curves are less than the maximal electric power supply of airborne equipment,proving that the use of the low-power TRS for airborne equipment is feasible.The COP,cooling capacity and entropy generation of the system are relative to the flight altitude and the current of the TRS.Through the analyses of these data,the optimal values of the COP are obtained,and the optimization measures are proposed to maximize the use of the advantages of the TRS.

文摘Serving multiple cell-edge mobile terminals poses multifaceted challenges due to the increased transmission power and interferences, which could be overcome by relay communications. With the recent advancement of 5G technologies, non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) has been used at relay node to transmit multiple messages simultaneously to multiple cell-edge users. In this paper, a Collaborative NOMA Assisted Relaying(CNAR) system for 5G is proposed by enabling the collaboration of source-relay(S-R) and relay-destination(R-D) NOMA links. The relay node of the CNAR decodes the message for itself from S-R NOMA signal and transmits the remaining messages to the multiple cell-edge users in R-D link. A simplified-CNAR(S-CNAR) system is then developed to reduce the relay complexity. The outage probabilities for both systems are analyzed by considering outage behaviors in S-R and R-D links separately. To guarantee the data rate, the optimal power allocation among NOMA users is achieved by minimizing the outage probability. The ergodic sum capacity in high SNR regime is also approximated. Our mathematical analysis and simulation results show that CNAR system outperforms existing transmission strategies and S-CNAR reaches similar performance with much lower complexity.

文摘The tracking performance of motor current is an important factor that affects the assistance torque of electric power steering （EPS） system. Bad tracking performance will cause assistant torque delay, and make road feeling bad, and is influenced by the input steering torque and system measuring noise. However the existing methods have some shortages on system＇s robust dynamic performance and robust stability. The mixed H2/H∞ strategy for recirculating ball-type EPS system in a pure electric bus is proposed, and vehicle dynamic model of the system is established. Due to the existence of system model uncertainty, disturbance signals, sensor noises and the demand of system dynamic performance, the indexes of robust performance and road feeling for drivers are defined as the appraisal control objectives. The H∞ method is introduced to design the H∞ controller, and the H2 method is applied to optimize the H∞ controller, thus the mixed H2/H∞ controller is designed. The response of EPS system to the motor current command with amplitude of 20 A, the road disturbance with amplitude of 500 N and the sensor random noise with the amplitude of 1 A is simulated. The simulation results show that the recirculating ball-type EPS system with the mixed H2/H∞ controller can attenuate the random noises and disturbances and track the boost curve well, so the mixed H2/H∞ controller can improve the system＇s robust performance and dynamic performance. For the purpose of verifying the performance of the designed control strategy, the motor current tracking performance ground tests are conducted with step response input of the steering wheel, double-lane steering test and lemniscate steering test, respectively. The tests show that the mixed H2/H∞ controller for the recirculating ball-type EPS system of pure electric bus is feasible. The designed controller can solve the robust performance and robust stability of the system, thus improve the tracking performance of the EPS system and provide satisfied road feeling for the drivers.
