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...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.展开更多

The vehicle load zones were dynamically divided into several zones by several torque lines to indicate the drivers demand and the high or low efficient operating areas of the diesel engine. The fuzzy logic controller with trapezoid membership function and Mamdani rule reference mechanism was utilized. There are over 100 rules used in this fuzzy-based torque distribution strategy which are sorted into four rule-bases. The fuel economy and acceleration tests were designed to test and validate the integrated starter/generator (ISG) bus perfor-mance using fuzzy-based torque distribution strategy. The fuel economy is improved 7.7% compared with the rule-based strategy. Finally the road test results reveal that there is about 15% improvement of fuel economy. And the 0-50 km/h acceleration time is 9.5% shorter than the original bus.展开更多

文摘Governed by the second law of thermodynamics,waste heat generation is inevitable and has been a major source of energy loss and environmental concern in human society.Harvesting waste heat into useful energy has thus become a paramount priority,but has remained challenging with efficiency and cost constraints.Thermoelectric generators(TEGs),which convert heat into electricity whenever there is a temperature difference,play a crucial role in waste heat harvesting.However,sustaining the temperature difference for uninterrupted and high-power density electricity generation is a major challenge in TEGs to achieve practical applications due to the thermal equilibrium.Here,we demonstrate a diurnal waste heat harvester by integrating a high-power radiative cooling film as the cool end of TEGs to enable a large and continuous temperature difference.Significant voltage increase from 30.0 mV to 65.7 mV was achieved,leading to a dramatic power density enhancement of 4.8 times from 35.2 mW m^(-2)to 168.6 mW m^(-2).In an open zone,an ultra-high power density of 2.76 W m^(-2)was achieved at a heat source temperature of 80°C,exceeding the performance of state-of-the-art radiatively cooled TEGs.More importantly,a portable and foldable thermal energy harvesting prototype composed of 24 TEGs arranged in an array has been constructed.When attached to a hot object(e.g.a car engine hood),it can output 5 V to charge personal electronics(e.g.a cellphone),making it a promising practical device for harvesting waste heat in a wide range of outdoor applications.

文摘With the increasing integration of renewable energy,microgrids are increasingly facing stability challenges,primarily due to the lack of inherent inertia in inverter-dominated systems,which is traditionally provided by synchronous generators.To address this critical issue,Virtual Synchronous Generator(VSG)technology has emerged as a highly promising solution by emulating the inertia and damping characteristics of conventional synchronous generators.To enhance the operational efficiency of virtual synchronous generators(VSGs),this study employs smallsignal modeling analysis,root locus methods,and synchronous generator power-angle characteristic analysis to comprehensively evaluate how virtual inertia and damping coefficients affect frequency stability and power output during transient processes.Based on these analyses,an adaptive control strategy is proposed:increasing the virtual inertia when the rotor angular velocity undergoes rapid changes,while strengthening the damping coefficient when the speed deviation exceeds a certain threshold to suppress angular velocity oscillations.To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method,a grid-connected VSG simulation platform was developed inMATLAB/Simulink.Comparative simulations demonstrate that the proposed adaptive control strategy outperforms conventional VSGmethods by significantly reducing grid frequency deviations and shortening active power response time during active power command changes and load disturbances.This approach enhances microgrid stability and dynamic performance,confirming its viability for renewable-dominant power systems.Future work should focus on experimental validation and real-world parameter optimization,while further exploring the strategy’s effectiveness in improvingVSG low-voltage ride-through(LVRT)capability and power-sharing applications in multi-parallel configurations.

文摘Inertial response control(IRC)makes variable-speed wind turbine generators(WTGs)provide short-term frequency support during contingencies by releasing the kinetic energy stored in wind turbine rotors.When frequency support is terminated,the rotor speed should be restored to optimum for maximum power point tracking(MPPT).Existing IRCs utilize rotor speed recovery(RSR)strategies with a consistent power reference function.However,under real turbulent wind with alternate gusts and lulls,the consistent power reference function may fail to restore rotor speed or cause unexpected secondary frequency drop(SFD).In this regard,this paper proposes a novel adaptive RSR strategy that not only restores rotor speed via the aerodynamic power enhanced by wind gusts,but also stabilizes the turbine at wind lulls by tracking a suboptimal power curve.Experiments on a wind power-integrated power system testbed validate the proposed RSR strategy can successfully restore rotor speed while attenuating SFD under turbulent wind.

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 torque distribution strategy was designed by using fuzzy logic to realize the optimal control. The vehicle load zones were dynamically divided into several zones by several torque lines to indicate the drivers demand and the high or low efficient operating areas of the diesel engine. The fuzzy logic controller with trapezoid membership function and Mamdani rule reference mechanism was utilized. There are over 100 rules used in this fuzzy-based torque distribution strategy which are sorted into four rule-bases. The fuel economy and acceleration tests were designed to test and validate the integrated starter/generator (ISG) bus perfor-mance using fuzzy-based torque distribution strategy. The fuel economy is improved 7.7% compared with the rule-based strategy. Finally the road test results reveal that there is about 15% improvement of fuel economy. And the 0-50 km/h acceleration time is 9.5% shorter than the original bus.

文摘In order to better realize the energy recovery and storage of hybrid EVs(HEVs),a switched reluctance starter/generator(SRS/G)with both starting and power generation functions is investigated in this paper.First,the iron loss of SRS/G is mainly studied to reduce the motor loss and improve the power generation efficiency.Then,the energy storage of hybrid EVs can be effectively improved.Secondly,a magnetic flux density(MFD)waveforms solution method is proposed to solve the difficulty in calculating the iron loss of the SRS/G.Compared with the commonly used finite element method,the proposed solution method has the advantages of simple,fast and small computational amount.Meanwhile,considering the different operating conditions of SRS/G,the iron loss models for both the time-domain and frequency-domain are established.In addition,the calculation formula of the variable coefficient Bertotti three-term loss separation is improved.As the hysteresis loss coefficient,the Steinmetz coefficient and the stray loss coefficient are respectively fitted by the Fourier fitting method.This method is also applied to solve the iron loss of SRS/G.Finally,through an experimental verification,it is indicated that the development of proposed method has high accuracy.

文摘In this paper,the combined k-out-of-n:G model and reliability block diagram model is used to analyze the reliability of a switched reluctance starter/generator system.First,the different operational modes of a switched reluctance motor starter/generator are analyzed,and the fault states of the system are briefly described.Then the fault criteria of the system in different operational states are put forward.Secondly,a relia-bility block diagram model is established to calculate the system-level reliability,and the k-out-of-n:G model is adopted to analyze the reliability of each part of the switched reluctance starter/generator system.To verify effectiveness,the first-order Markov model is also used to analyze the reliability of each part of the switched reluc-tance starter/generator system.Considering the compu-tational complexity and accuracy of the system,the k-out-of-n:G model is more suitable for system component level reliability analysis.Finally,a 6/4 switched reluctance motor is used as the simulated and experimental platform motor.The final results verify the effectiveness of the reliability analysis model.
