文摘This paper suggests a way to improve teamwork and reduce uncertainties in operations by using a game theory approach involving multiple virtual power plants(VPP).A generalized credibility-based fuzzy chance constraint programming approach is adopted to address uncertainties stemming from renewable generation and load demand within individual VPPs,while robust optimization techniques manage electricity and thermal price volatilities.Building upon this foundation,a hierarchical Nash-Stackelberg game model is established across multiple VPPs.Within each VPP,a Stackelberg game resolves the strategic interaction between the operator and photovoltaic prosumers(PVP).Among VPPs,a cooperative Nash bargaining model coordinates alliance formation.The problem is decomposed into two subproblems:maximizing coalitional benefits,and allocating cooperative surpluses via payment bargaining,solved distributively using the alternating direction method of multipliers(ADMM).Case studies demonstrate that the proposed strategy significantly enhances the economic efficiency and uncertainty resilience of multi-VPP alliances.
文摘With the advent of sixth-generation mobile communications(6G),space-air-ground integrated networks have become mainstream.This paper focuses on collaborative scheduling for mobile edge computing(MEC)under a three-tier heterogeneous architecture composed of mobile devices,unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),and macro base stations(BSs).This scenario typically faces fast channel fading,dynamic computational loads,and energy constraints,whereas classical queuing-theoretic or convex-optimization approaches struggle to yield robust solutions in highly dynamic settings.To address this issue,we formulate a multi-agent Markov decision process(MDP)for an air-ground-fused MEC system,unify link selection,bandwidth/power allocation,and task offloading into a continuous action space and propose a joint scheduling strategy that is based on an improved MATD3 algorithm.The improvements include Alternating Layer Normalization(ALN)in the actor to suppress gradient variance,Residual Orthogonalization(RO)in the critic to reduce the correlation between the twin Q-value estimates,and a dynamic-temperature reward to enable adaptive trade-offs during training.On a multi-user,dual-link simulation platform,we conduct ablation and baseline comparisons.The results reveal that the proposed method has better convergence and stability.Compared with MADDPG,TD3,and DSAC,our algorithm achieves more robust performance across key metrics.

文摘In winter 2018,an aerosol physicochemical experiment was conducted in the Western Pacific Ocean(WPO)aboard the Research Vessel KEXUE of Chinese Academy of Sciences.This study systematically investigated both natural and anthropogenic effects on marine aerosols optical properties,as well as the applicability of multi-satellite products and IMPROVE equation.The averaged aerosol optical depth(AOD500 nm)was 0.31±0.16 andÅngström exponent440–675 nm was 0.29±0.30.In offshore China,significant anthropogenic emissions affected the marine environment.In remote WPO,dust aerosols transported from northern China,Siberia,Central Asia,and those settling from the upper troposphere originating from north Africa,Arabian peninsula,and western India,were dominant.The spatial trends of AOD were opposite in the mid-latitude and southern seas of WPO.The highest AOD,0.32±0.23,appeared along the coast of South Asia at mid-latitude,decreasing from offshore seas to remote oceans.In low-latitude and equatorial seas,AOD significantly increased from coast to remote oceans.Ångström exponent dropped significantly from the coast to remote oceans as anthropogenic influence diminished across the entire WPO.Correlation analysis showed that both MODIS-C6 and Himawari AOD prod-ucts showed similar applicability in coastal urban areas,while Himawari AOD is highly recommended for coastal background and marine environment due to its finer resolution.The extinction coefficient derived from PM_(2.5) chemical compositions using IMPROVE algorithm exhibited a significant correlation(R^(2)=0.58)with the con-currently measured AOD in the absence of long-distance transport,suggesting that the IMPROVE is a reasonable proxy of the columnar average of marine aerosol extinctions free from transport influences.

文摘The power system is experiencing a higher penetration of renewable energy generations(REGs).The short circuit ratio(SCR)and the grid impedance ratio(GIR)are two indices to quantify the system strength of the power system with REGs.In this paper,the critical short circuit ratio(CSCR)is defined as the corresponding SCR when the system voltage is in the critical stable state.Through static voltage stability analysis,the mathematical expression of the CSCR considering the impact of GIR is derived.The maximum value of CSCR is adopted as the critical value to distinguish the weak power system.Based on the static equivalent circuit analysis,it is proved that the CSCR is still effective to evaluate critical system strength considering the interactive impact among REGs.Finally,we find that the GIR can be neglected and the SCR can be used individually to evaluate the system strength when SCR>2 or GIR>5.The correctness and rationality of the CSCR and its critical value are validated on ADPSS.

文摘Significant exploration progress has been made in ultra-deep clastic rocks in the Kuqa Depression,Tarim Basin,over recent years.A new round of comprehensive geological research has formed four new understandings:(1)Establish structural model consisting of multi-detachment composite,multi-stage structural superposition and multi-layer deformation.Multi-stage structural traps are overlapped vertically,and a series of structural traps are discovered in underlying ultra-deep layers.(2)Five sets of high-quality large-scale source rocks of three types of organic phases are developed in the Triassic and Jurassic systems,and forming a good combination of source-reservoir-cap rocks in ultra-deep layers with three sets of large-scale regional reservoir and cap rocks.(3)The formation of large oil and gas fields is controlled by four factors which are source,reservoir,cap rocks and fault.Based on the spatial configuration relationship of these four factors,a new three-dimensional reservoir formation model for ultra-deep clastic rocks in the Kuqa Depression has been established.(4)The next key exploration fields for ultra-deep clastic rocks in the Kuqa Depression include conventional and unconventional oil and gas.The conventional oil and gas fields include the deep multi-layer oil-gas accumulation zone in Kelasu,tight sandstone gas of Jurassic Ahe Formation in the northern structural zone,multi-target layer lithological oil and gas reservoirs in Zhongqiu–Dina structural zone,lithologic-stratigraphic and buried hill composite reservoirs in south slope and other favorable areas.Unconventional oil and gas fields include deep coal rock gas of Jurassic Kezilenuer and Yangxia formations,Triassic Tariqike Formation and Middle-Lower Jurassic and Upper Triassic continental shale gas.The achievements have important reference significance for enriching the theory of ultra-deep clastic rock oil and gas exploration and guiding the future oil and gas exploration deployment.

文摘Purpose–The bridge expansion joint(BEJ)is a key device for accommodating spatial displacement at the beam end,and for providing vertical support for running trains passing over the gap between the main bridge and the approach bridge.For long-span railway bridges,it must also be coordinated with rail expansion joint(REJ),which is necessary to accommodate the expansion and contraction of,and reducing longitudinal stress in,the rails.The main aim of this study is to present analysis of recent developments in the research and application of BEJs in high-speed railway(HSR)long-span bridges in China,and to propose a performance-based integral design method for BEJs used with REJs,from both theoretical and engineering perspectives.Design/methodology/approach–The study first presents a summary on the application and maintenance of BEJs in HSR long-span bridges in China representing an overview of their state of development.Results of a survey of typical BEJ faults were analyzed,and field testing was conducted on a railway cable-stayed bridge in order to obtain information on the major mechanical characteristics of its BEJ under train load.Based on the above,a performance-based integral design method for BEJs with maximum expansion range 1600 mm(±800 mm),was proposed,covering all stages from overall conceptual design to consideration of detailed structural design issues.The performance of the novel BEJ design thus derived was then verified via theoretical analysis under different scenarios,full-scale model testing,and field testing and commissioning.Findings–Two major types of BEJs,deck-type and through-type,are used in HSR long-span bridges in China.Typical BEJ faults were found to mainly include skewness of steel sleepers at the bridge gap,abnormally large longitudinal frictional resistance,and flexural deformation of the scissor mechanisms.These faults influence BEJ functioning,and thus adversely affect track quality and train running performance at the beam end.Due to their simple and integral structure,deck-type BEJs with expansion range 1200 mm(±600 mm)or less have been favored as a solution offering improved operational conditions,and have emerged as a standard design.However,when the expansion range exceeds the above-mentioned value,special design work becomes necessary.Therefore,based on engineering practice,a performance-based integral design method for BEJs used with REJs was proposed,taking into account four major categories of performance requirements,i.e.,mechanical characteristics,train running quality,durability and insulation performance.Overall BEJ design must mainly consider component strength and the overall stiffness of BEJ;the latter factor in particular has a decisive influence on train running performance at the beam end.Detailed BEJ structural design must stress minimization of the frictional resistance of its sliding surface.The static and dynamic performance of the newlydesigned BEJ with expansion range 1600 mm have been confirmed to be satisfactory,via numerical simulation,full-scale model testing,and field testing and commissioning.Originality/value–This research provides a broad overview of the status of BEJs with large expansion range in HSR long-span bridges in China,along with novel insights into their design.

文摘The substantial emissions of greenhouse gases,particularly CO_(2),constitute a primary driver of global warming.CCUS is proposed as an effective mitigation strategy which is often estimated to account for about 15%of cumulative carbon emission reduction.In-situ CO_(2) mineralization sequestration,compared to conventional geological storage methods such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs,unmineable coal seams,and deep saline aquifers,offers the advantage of permanent immobilization of injected carbon.However,uncertainties persist regarding the characteristics of geochemical interactions under reservoir pore conditions,as well as the kinetic mechanisms of mineralization reactions.Additionally,geochemical reactions may lead to solid particle transport and deposition,potentially causing pore throat occlusion.Pilot projects in Iceland and the United States have demonstrated the feasibility of this technology,but the field remains in the early deployment stage.In this review,the mechanisms of in-situ mineralization have been elucidated,the primary factors influencing the reaction kinetics have been discussed,and the current research status in this field has been summarized.It is emphasized that establishing a reliable system for evaluating storage capacity and understanding the kinetic mechanisms governing CO_(2) conversion into minerals at multi-phase interfaces are key priorities for future work.
