So far there are many versions of the statements and proofs on the theorem. However, there exist some limitations and lack of strictness in these versions, for instance, the discussion of the uniqueness of solution without considering the existence of solution and the lack of strictness in the case of loss-less medium. In contrast with the traditional statements and proofs, this paper introduces some important conclusions on operator equation from modern theory of partial differential equation (PDE) and attempts to solve the problems on the existence and uniqueness of the solution to operator equation which is derived from Maxwell’s equations of time-harmonic electromagnetic fields. This method provides a novel and rigorous approach to discuss and solve the existence and uniqueness of the solution to time- harmonic fields in the new mathematical framework. Some important conclusions are presented.展开更多

文摘To address the issues of high costs and low component utilization caused by the independent configuration of hybrid DC circuit breakers(HCBs)and DC power flow controllers(DCPFCs)at each port in existing DC distribution networks,this paper adopts a component sharing mechanism to propose a composite multi-port hybrid DC circuit breaker(CM-HCB)with DC power flow and fault current limitation abilities,as well as reduced component costs.The proposed CM-HCB topology enables the sharing of the main breaker branch(MB)and the energy dissipation branch,while the load commutation switches(LCSs)in the main branch are reused as power flow control components,enabling flexible regulation of power flow in multiple lines.Meanwhile,by reconstructing the current path during the fault process,the proposed CM-HCB can utilize the internal coupled inductor to limit the current rise rate at the initial stage of the fault,significantly reducing the requirement for breaking current.A detailed study on the topological structure,steady-state power flow regulation mechanism,transient fault isolation mechanism,control strategy and characteristic analysis of the proposed CM-HCB is presented.Then,a Matlab/Simulink-based meshed three-terminal DC grid simulation platform with the proposed CM-HCB is built.The results indicate that the proposed CM-HCB can not only achieve flexible power flow control during steady-state operation,but also obtain current rise limitation and fault isolation abilities under short-circuit fault conditions,verifying its correctness and effectiveness.Finally,a comparative economic analysis is conducted between the proposed CM-HCB and the other two existing solutions,confirming that its component sharing mechanism can significantly reduce the number of components,lower system costs,and improve component utilization.

文摘Virtor(VSG)technology is widely investigated and applied for dual synchronous generatoubly-fed induction generators(DFIGs)to provide virtual inertia.However,under grid faults,the conventional VSG-based DFIG faces challenges of transient overcurrent and instability.The critical limitation for grid-forming DFIGs to withstand serious grid faults is the rotor-side converter(RSC)’s inability to quickly generate proper rotor voltage to counteract transient electromotive force(EMF),which results in transient overcurrent and damage to the RSC.To fill this gap,this study introduces a novel low-voltage ride-through(LVRT)control strategy for the grid-forming DFIG under symmetrical grid fault conditions.To mitigate transient overcurrent,the core mechanism is to regulate the rotor flux linkage to align with the stator flux linkage in an optimal proportion.Under the proposed control strategy,both post-fault rotor current and required rotor voltage are constrained within operational limits.Moreover,fluctuations in electromagnetic torque are efficiently suppressed during grid disturbances.Consequently,the dynamic stability and power support capacity of the DFIG system remain intact throughout the transient process.Finally,simulation studies and experimental results are provided to verify the feasibility of the proposed approach.

文摘We develop a uniaxial optimal perfectly matched layer （opt PML） method for solving the time-harmonic scattering problems by choosing a particular absorbing function with unbounded integral in a rectangular domain. With this choice, the solution of the optimal PML problem not only converges exponentially to the solution of the original scatting problem, but also is insensitive to the thickness of the PML layer for sufficiently small parameter ε0. Numerical experiments are included to illustrate the competitive behavior of the proposed optimal method.

文摘This paper introduces a novel method for fast calculating the electromagnetic forces in interior permanent magnet synchronous machines(IPMSMs)under pulse width modulation(PWM)voltage source inverter(VSI)supply based on the small-signal time-harmonic finite element analysis(THFEA),which has been successfully utilized for fast calculating the PWMinduced losses in silicon steel sheets and permanent magnets.Based on the small-signal THFEA,the functional relationships between high-frequency harmonic voltages(HFHVs)and corresponding airgap flux densities are established,which are used for calculating the flux density spectra caused by each HFHV in the PWM voltage spectra.Then,the superposition principle is applied for calculating the flux density spectra caused by fundamental currents and all HFHVs,which are converted to the electromagnetic force spectra at last.The relative errors between the force density spectra calculated with the proposed method and those obtained from traditional time-stepping finite element analysis(TSFEA)using PWM voltages as input are within 3.1%,while the proposed method is 24 times faster than the traditional TSFEA.

文摘Magneto-electro-elastic(MEE)materials are a specific class of advanced smart materials that simultaneouslymanifest the coupling behavior under electric,magnetic,and mechanical loads.This unique combination ofproperties allows MEE materials to respond to mechanical,electric,and magnetic stimuli,making them versatile forvarious applications.This paper investigates the static and time-harmonic field solutions induced by the surface loadin a three-dimensional(3D)multilayered transversally isotropic(TI)linear MEE layered solid.Green’s functionscorresponding to the applied uniform load(in both horizontal and vertical directions)are derived using the Fourier-Bessel series(FBS)system of vector functions.By virtue of this FBS method,two sets of first-order ordinarydifferential equations(i.e.,N-type and LM-type)are obtained,with the expansion coefficients being Love numbers.It is noted that the LM-type system corresponds to the MEE-coupled P-,SV-,and Rayleigh waves,while the N-typecorresponds to the purely elastic SH-and Love waves.By applying the continuity conditions across interfaces,the solutions for each layer of the structure(from the bottom to the top)are derived using the dual-variable andposition(DVP)method.This method(i.e.,DVP)is unconditionally stable when propagating solutions throughdifferent layers.Numerical examples illustrate the impact of load types,layering,and frequency on the response ofthe structure,as well as the accuracy and convergence of the proposed approach.The numerical results are usefulin designing smart devices made of MEE solids,which are applicable to engineering fields like renewable energy.

文摘The multi-terminal direct current(DC)grid has extinctive superiorities over the traditional alternating current system in integrating large-scale renewable energy.Both the DC circuit breaker(DCCB)and the current flow controller(CFC)are demanded to ensure the multiterminal DC grid to operates reliably and flexibly.However,since the CFC and the DCCB are all based on fully controlled semiconductor switches(e.g.,insulated gate bipolar transistor,integrated gate commutated thyristor,etc.),their separation configuration in the multiterminal DC grid will lead to unaffordable implementation costs and conduction power losses.To solve these problems,integrated equipment with both current flow control and fault isolation abilities is proposed,which shares the expensive and duplicated components of CFCs and DCCBs among adjacent lines.In addition,the complicated coordination control of CFCs and DCCBs can be avoided by adopting the integrated equipment in themultiterminal DC grid.In order to examine the current flow control and fault isolation abilities of the integrated equipment,the simulation model of a specific meshed four-terminal DC grid is constructed in the PSCAD/EMTDC software.Finally,the comparison between the integrated equipment and the separate solution is presented a specific result or conclusion needs to be added to the abstract.
文摘The uniqueness theorem of time-harmonic electromagnetic fields, which is the theoretical basis of boundary value problem (BVP) of electromagnetic fields, is reviewed. So far there are many versions of the statements and proofs on the theorem. However, there exist some limitations and lack of strictness in these versions, for instance, the discussion of the uniqueness of solution without considering the existence of solution and the lack of strictness in the case of loss-less medium. In contrast with the traditional statements and proofs, this paper introduces some important conclusions on operator equation from modern theory of partial differential equation (PDE) and attempts to solve the problems on the existence and uniqueness of the solution to operator equation which is derived from Maxwell’s equations of time-harmonic electromagnetic fields. This method provides a novel and rigorous approach to discuss and solve the existence and uniqueness of the solution to time- harmonic fields in the new mathematical framework. Some important conclusions are presented.

文摘Advanced OER/HER electrocatalytic alternatives are crucial for the wide adaptation of green hydrogen energy.Herein,Ru/NiMnB spherical cluster pillar(SCP),denoted as Ru/NiMnB,is synthesized using a combination of electro-deposition and hydrothermal reaction.Systematic investigation of Ru doping in the NiMnB matrix revealed significant improvements in electrocatalytic performance.The Ru/NiMnB SCPs demonstrate superior OER/HER activity with low overpotentials of 150 and 103 mV at 50mA/cm^(2)in 1 M KOH,making them highly competitive with state-of-the-art electrocatalysts.Remarkably,the Ru/NiMnB SCPs exhibit a low 2-E cell voltage of 2.80 V at ultra-high current density of 2,000 m A/cm^(2)in 1 M KOH,outperforming the standard benchmark electrodes of RuO_(2)||Pt/C,thereby positioning Ru/NiMnB as one of the best bifunctional electrocatalysts.These SCPs exhibit exceptional high-current characteristics,stability and corrosion resistance,as evidenced by continuous operation at 1,000 mA/cm^(2)high-current density for over 150 h in 6 M KOH at elevated temperatures under harsh industrial conditions.Only a small amount of Ru incorporation significantly enhances the electrocatalytic performances of NiMnB,attributed to increased active sites and improved intrinsic properties such as conductivity,adsorption/desorption capability and reaction rates.Consequently,Ru/NiMnB SCPs present a promising bi-functional electrode concept for efficient green H_(2)production.
文摘BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric condition with complex symptomatology,including debilitating auditory hallucinations.Transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)has been explored as an adjunctive treatment to alleviate such symptoms.AIM To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of tDCS in schizophrenia.METHODS Adhering to PRISMA guidelines,we systematically searched PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,and the Cochrane Library on September 19,2023,for randomized controlled trials examining the efficacy of tDCS in schizophrenia,with no language or time restrictions.We included studies that compared tDCS with a control condition and reported clinically relevant outcomes.Data extraction and quality assessments were performed by independent evaluators using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool.Statistical heterogeneity was evaluated,and a random-effects model was applied due to moderate heterogeneity(I2=41.3%).RESULTS Nine studies comprising 425 participants(tDCS group:219,control group:206)were included.The meta-analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in auditory hallucination scores following tDCS treatment(weighted mean difference:-2.18,95%confidence interval:-4.0 to-0.29,P<0.01).Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the results,with no significant influence from individual studies.Additionally,publication bias was not detected,supporting the reliability and generalizability of the findings.These results underscore the efficacy of tDCS as a therapeutic intervention for auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia.CONCLUSION tDCS significantly reduces auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia,suggesting its potential as an effective adjunctive treatment for managing this disabling symptom.The findings highlight the practical significance of tDCS in clinical settings,particularly for patients with treatment-resistant auditory hallucinations.
