文摘This research aims to address the challenges of fault detection and isolation(FDI)in digital grids,focusing on improving the reliability and stability of power systems.Traditional fault detection techniques,such as rule-based fuzzy systems and conventional FDI methods,often struggle with the dynamic nature of modern grids,resulting in delays and inaccuracies in fault classification.To overcome these limitations,this study introduces a Hybrid NeuroFuzzy Fault Detection Model that combines the adaptive learning capabilities of neural networks with the reasoning strength of fuzzy logic.The model’s performance was evaluated through extensive simulations on the IEEE 33-bus test system,considering various fault scenarios,including line-to-ground faults(LGF),three-phase short circuits(3PSC),and harmonic distortions(HD).The quantitative results show that the model achieves 97.2%accuracy,a false negative rate(FNR)of 1.9%,and a false positive rate(FPR)of 2.3%,demonstrating its high precision in fault diagnosis.The qualitative analysis further highlights the model’s adaptability and its potential for seamless integration into smart grids,micro grids,and renewable energy systems.By dynamically refining fuzzy inference rules,the model enhances fault detection efficiency without compromising computational feasibility.These findings contribute to the development of more resilient and adaptive fault management systems,paving the way for advanced smart grid technologies.
文摘The process of including renewable energy sources in power networks is moving quickly,so the need for innovative configuration solutions for grid-side ESS has grown.Among the new methods presented in this paper is GA-OCESE,which stands for Genetic Algorithm-based Optimization Configuration for Energy Storage in Electric Networks.This is one of the methods suggested in this study,which aims to enhance the sizing,positioning,and operational characteristics of structured ESS under dynamic grid conditions.Particularly,the aim is to maximize efficiency.A multiobjective genetic algorithm,the GA-OCESE framework,considers all these factors simultaneously.Besides considering cost-efficiency,response time,and energy use,the system also considers all these elements simultaneously.This enables it to effectively react to load uncertainty and variations in inputs connected to renewable sources.Results of an experimental assessment conducted on a standardized grid simulation platform indicate that by increasing energy use efficiency by 17.6%and reducing peak-load effects by 22.3%,GA-OCESE outperforms previous heuristic-based methods.This was found by contrasting the outcomes of the assessment with those of the evaluation.The results of the assessment helped to reveal this.The proposed approach will provide utility operators and energy planners with a decision-making tool that is both scalable and adaptable.This technology is particularly well-suited for smart grids,microgrid systems,and power infrastructures that heavily rely on renewable energy.Every technical component has been carefully recorded to ensure accuracy,reproducibility,and relevance across all power systems engineering software uses.This was done to ensure the program’s relevance.

文摘The extraction characteristics of multi-charged ions produced by ion sources are important for some useful applications.In this paper,the extraction process of Cu^(+),Cu^(2+),Cu^(3+),and Cu^(4+)mixed ions is simulated by setting ideal physical parameters in a two-dimensional particle-in-cell(PIC)code,and the evolution characteristics of density and velocity distributions of different charged ions during plasma(density about 10^(15)m^(-3))motion and extraction are presented.Besides,the effects of grid thickness and grid aperture on the motion behavior of different charged ions and the extracted ion current are analyzed.The results showed that the ion diffusion increases with the increase of the ion charge,and higher charged ions are more likely to be affected by the grid.This provides support for further understanding of the extraction characteristics of multi-charged mixed ion beams.

文摘This research presents an analysis of smart grid units to enhance connected units’security during data transmissions.The major advantage of the proposed method is that the system model encompasses multiple aspects such as network flow monitoring,data expansion,control association,throughput,and losses.In addition,all the above-mentioned aspects are carried out with neural networks and adaptive optimizations to enhance the operation of smart grid networks.Moreover,the quantitative analysis of the optimization algorithm is discussed concerning two case studies,thereby achieving early convergence at reduced complexities.The suggested method ensures that each communication unit has its own distinct channels,maximizing the possibility of accurate measurements.This results in the provision of only the original data values,hence enhancing security.Both power and line values are individually observed to establish control in smart grid-connected channels,even in the presence of adaptive settings.A comparison analysis is conducted to showcase the results,using simulation studies involving four scenarios and two case studies.The proposed method exhibits reduced complexity,resulting in a throughput gain of over 90%.
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With the accelerating urbanization process,the load demand of urban power grids is constantly increasing,giving rise to a batch of ultra-large urban power grids featuring large electricity demand,dense load distribution,and tight construction land constraints.This paper establishes a network planning method for urban power grids based on series reactors and MMC-MTEDC,focusing on four aspects:short-circuit current suppression,accommodation of external power supply,flexible inter-regional power support,and voltage stability enhancement in load centers.It proposes key indicators including node short-circuit current margin,line thermal stability margin,maximum fault-induced regional power loss,and voltage recovery time,thereby constructing an evaluation system for MMT-MTEDC network planning in urban power grids.Based on the Shenzhen power grid planning data,simulations using DSP software reveal that series reactors reduce short-circuit current by up to 5.0%,while the MMC-MTEDC system enhances node short-circuit margins by 4.212.9%and shortens voltage recovery time by 19.8%.Additionally,the MMC-MTEDC system maintains 3.34-6.76 percentage points higher thermal stability margins than conventional AC systems and enables complete avoidance of external power curtailment during N-2 faults via power reallocation between terminals.Compared with traditional AC or point-to-point HVDC schemes,the proposed hybrid planning method better adapts to the spatial and reliability demands of ultra-large receiving-end grids.This methodology provides practical insights into coordinated AC/DC development under high load density and strong external power reliance.Future work will extend the approach to include electromagnetic transient constraints and lightweight MMC station designs for urban applications.
