Design and Analysis of a 500W 120000rpm High-Speed Permanent Magnet Motor

High-speed permanent magnet motor is widely used for its excellent performance. With the development of technology, the motor needs be designed to meet more features, such as low torque ripples, low noise, low loss, and so on. This paper focuses on the design of a 500W, 120000rpm high-speed permanent magnet motor, and the torque ripples effected by two pole-slot combinations are analyzed by both the theoretical solution and the finite element analysis with Fourier transformation. It is clarified that because of the different pole pairs and different magnetizations, the electromagnetic torque of 4p6s is smaller than that of 2p3s, while the ripple torque of 4p6s is larger than that of 2p3s. In addition, as the width of the slot opening increasing, the torque ripples of 4p6s are always greater than that of 2p3s.

GPS-PPP Transmission Line Geological Hazard Micro Displacement Monitoring and Early Warning

Transmission line is an important part of power system. The geological and topographical conditions of the area through which the transmission line passes are complex and vulnerable to geological disasters. In order to avoid the damage caused by geological disasters to the transmission line and improve the safety of the transmission and distribution system, an effective means is to monitor the micro displacement of the area where the transmission line is located. Considering that the transmission line often crosses the no man’s land and the communication environment is complex, the GPS-PPP method is used to continuously observe the substation for 11 months. After model correction and calculation, the accuracy of the monitoring data can reach millimeter level. In addition, through the analysis of precipitation in this area in the same period, geological displacement and settlement mainly occur in the time period with abundant precipitation. This shows that GPS-PPP monitoring has a good application prospect in transmission line geological disaster monitoring and early warning, and can effectively ensure the safety of transmission line.

Bidirectional Communication Between Parallel Buck Converters

Power and signal composite modulation (PSCM) has been applied for achieving communication among power converters. Strategy for transmitting signals multi-directionally among power converters is rarely detailed in literatures. In this paper, bidirectional communication between two Buck converters is achieved by PSCM via dc bus by employing the PWM-frequency-shift keying (FSK) and PWM-phase-shift keying (PSK) methods. In addition, the frequency division multiplexing access (FDMA) is employed to identify the signal accesses from different power converters. The calculation of output voltage ripples considering data transmission is analyzed and simulations are conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed communication method. The results show that amplitude of the switching voltage ripples for signal communication can be limited below 0.5% to guarantee power quality.

Post-mortem Analysis of Anode Degradation Caused by Fast Charging in Lithium-Ion Battery

Battery electric vehicles are environmental-friendly transport. However, the fast charging of Lithium-Ion batteries remains problematic. Because fast charging could introduce severe or non-reversible degradation. Thus, this paper dedicates to investigating the aging mechanism caused by fast charging. In the paper, the cylindrical Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is cycled at 4C-rate of more than three thousand times. Then, the battery is dissembled and specific positions are selected on both sides of the anode electrode for Scanning Electrode Microscopy and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy analysis. Results from the aged battery are compared with those captured from a fresh battery having the same calendar aging condition. The post-mortem analysis demonstrates the change in material structure and element composition. It shows that the predominant aging mechanism is lithium deposition, the loss of active material caused by phase transitions, and the dissolution of the cathode current collector. These aging mechanisms will lead to capacity loss or battery resistance increment.

Model Predictive Control with Active Sensor Noise Suppression for Dual Active Bridge Converter

Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converters are widely used in energy storage systems, fuel cell systems and microgrids for its excellent characteristics. Recently, model predictive control (MPC), which is known for its high dynamic performance and multi-objective optimization capability, has been applied to DAB converters. MPC relies on feedback variables to achieve state variable prediction, where the sensor sampling noise will degrade MPC performance and greatly limits its application. In this work, we analyze the effect of sensor noise on the MPC performance of a DAB converter, and propose an MPC method with active sensor noise suppression. The proposed method independently sets the MPC discretization cycle and the switching cycle, so that the control performance deterioration can be suppressed without reducing the switching frequency or adding filters. The simulation results verify that compared with the classical MPC method, the proposed method can effectively reduce the inductor current stress and the output voltage ripple, suppress the transient bias, and improve the efficiency of the DAB converter, when the sensors suffer from sampling noise.

A Dc-Link Startup Pre-charging Control Strategy for Modular Multilevel Converter

Startup pre-charging is essential to the operation of modular multilevel converter (MMC). The startup procedure of MMC includes uncontrolled stage and controlled stage. The conventional startup pre-charging methods mainly focus on the controlled stage, while the performance of uncontrolled stage is deteriorated by the inrush currents. To achieve a soft-startup performance of MMC, this paper presents a dc-link startup pre-charging control strategy which contains three stages. The first stage is pre-charging with current-limiting resistors based on the principle of half-bridge MMC. The second stage is bypassing the current-limiting resistors sequentially. The mathematical model of bypassing resistors sequentially is established, and the optimal bypassing times are achieved to minimize the inrush current during the uncontrolled startup stage. In the last controllable charging stage, constant current charging is adopted to reduce the inrush current effectively. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is verified by simulations.

Model Predictive Control with Parameter Identification for DAB Converter Improving Dynamic and Static Performance

As a key interface, Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) converters are widely used in new energy system (NES). For the NES, which usually requires fast dynamic performance and high efficiency, model predictive control (MPC) can be a promising option. Classical MPC, depended on the model parameters, will produce steady-state deviation due to the inaccurate model. Among all parameters, the inductor has a major impact, which may even lead to control failure. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel MPC strategy combined with the recursive least square (RLS) in this paper. The inductance can be accurately identified and updated online in real time without adding new sampling devices. Finally, experimental results show the influence of the inaccurate inductance on MPC and prove that the proposed strategy: (i) can eliminate the steady-state deviation (ii) maintain the excellent dynamic performance of MPC.

Lithium (Li) metal is considered to be one of the promising anode materials because of its light mass, low potential, and high theoretical specific capacity, however, dendritic growth and low battery coulomb efficiency will shorten the life of lithium metal battery (LMB). To solve this problem, adding film-forming additives to the LMB electrolyte to control the composition of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is a simple and effective method of lithium anode modification. Herein, this work homogenizes lithium deposition by adding a long-chain ionic liquid (IL) surface-active additive [C16MIM]BF4 to take advantage of the electrostatic shielding effect of the long-chain, at the same time, the anion group is reacted into BN, which inhibits electron transport and electrolyte degradation, both of them inhibit the growth of lithium dendrite. Stable cycling of symmetric Li||Li cells for 600 h was achieved by adding the additive to the electrolyte, and the LiFePO4||Li cells exhibited a lower polarization (51 mV) and a reversible capacity of 165.47 mAh g−1 after 30 cycles compared to the blank sample, which was highly compatible with LiFePO4.

This paper presents a method based on the combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and surrogate model to optimize the aluminum extruded heat sinks for high-end energy storage converters. The design experiment takes reducing the thermal resistance and mass of the heat sink as the optimization goals, and looks for the best design points of the base thickness, fin height, thickness and spacing. The calculation and simulation results show that the thermal resistance and mass of the optimized heat sink are reduced, so are the temperatures of the heating elements. Test results verify the effectiveness of the optimization method combining CFD simulation with surrogate models. Finally, the paper also puts forward the method of adding heat pipes to further improve the heat dissipation performance of the heat sink.

Then, the eigenvalue analysis method is adopted to analyze small-signal stability on low-frequency oscillations of the entire power system before and after PV replaces the synchronous generator and PSS (Power System Stabilizer) participates. The root locus method is adopted to discuss the change in eigenvalues and damping ratios of a multimachine power system with a high PV percentage when the parameters of the PV converter are changing. The results indicate that the damping ratio of the system oscillation mode is reduced by replacing the synchronous generator with PV, and the greater the replaced generator is involved in the original mode, the more drastic the change is; At a low ratio, the participation of PSS can enhance the stability of the power system with PV; At a high ratio, the stability can be improved by appropriately adjusting the parameters of the outer voltage controller loop and phase locked loop.

Study on Optimization Model of Oil Pipeline Intermittent Transportation

In the process of crude oil pipeline transportation, if the transportation volume is lower than the minimum allowable pipeline transportation, the pipeline will increase the operation economy due to the increase in energy consumption, and the transportation process is not conducive to the efficient operation of equipment. Intermittent transportation is the main means to solve this problem, but the process is affected by pipeline throughput and intermittent time. In order to rationally distribute the pipeline hourly throughput and determine the intermittent time to reduce the pipeline energy consumption, a crude oil pipeline intermittent transportation optimal operation model is proposed in this paper. The model innovatively considers the pipeline shutdown time constraint and pipeline flow constraint and establishes the minimum energy consumption optimization model of crude oil pipeline intermittent transportation. Taking an oil pipeline in China as an example, the optimization model is solved by the FPA algorithm. After optimization, the energy consumption of the pipeline is reduced by 44% compared with the longest shutdown time and 18% compared with the shortest shutdown time.

Analysis of Influence of Natural Gas Pipeline Arrangement on Bias Flow of Metering Branch

This paper first introduces the operation status of the oilfield metering system, and then through different natural gas pipeline layouts, a metering system that is compared with the Tarim oilfield flowmeter is added to the compressor station at the first station of the long-distance natural gas pipeline. Then, in order to avoid the problem of bias flow in the manifold of the metering system at the first station, an adiabatic model was used to simulate the flow field of the metering system to simulate the setting of the natural gas fluid, and the influence of the arrangement of the natural gas pipeline on the bias flow of the metering branch was analyzed. Although the flow distribution of the middle inlet and outlet is relatively uniform, the flow rate of the middle branch is too high, which is not conducive to measuring the flowmeter, and may bring adverse effects such as vibration and noise. The speed of entry and exit on the same side is relatively gentle, and the measurement and pipeline operations are more convenient, which helps to improve the accuracy of the comparison measurement system at Lunnan Shi Station, protect the economic interests of both supply and demand, and provide reference for solving other domestic and foreign measurement problems.

Study on the Distribution of Corrosion Inhibitor in the Natural Gas Gathering Pipeline

Acid gases such as H2S, CO2, SO2 carried in natural gas will form acid liquid with water during transportation, which is prone to serious corrosion problems such as perforation and leakage. Corrosion inhibitors are often used as one of the main anti-corrosion processes. With regard to the serious internal corrosion of the gas gathering pipeline in a well in Moxi, based on the actual operational conditions, this paper establishes a CFD model to study the distribution of corrosion inhibitors. The simulation results show that: ① the larger the pipeline angle and the faster the injection velocity, the better the distribution of the inhibitor particles in the pipe. Although the injection rate will affect the inhibitor concentration in the pipe, the regularity remains unchanged; ② when the injection velocity increases, the inhibitor becomes better distributed and can protect the longer range of the pipeline; ③ the corrosion inhibitor at the top of the pipe will settle and attach to the wall due to the gravity, and the fluid would rise to the middle and upper part of the pipeline due to the influence of secondary flow after passing through the elbow, causing the inhibitor concentration to increase rapidly.

Gate Oxide Breakdown in IGBT Modules Due to Bonding Wires Lift-Off

In this paper, a rarely reported failure mechanism of multichip IGBT module caused by the aging of the emitter bonding wires on a single IGBT chip is revealed. It is found that when the emitter bonding wires bonded on a single chip are all electrically disconnected due to lift-off or cracking, there is a chance that the chip gate can be broken down when the device is blocking busbar voltage and eventually leading to the malfunction of the entire module. Due to the internal parasitics distribution, an over-voltage might be applied across the E-G terminals resulting in a breakdown on the gate oxide layer of device. In the paper, the failure mechanism of IGBT’s gate overvoltage is studied via equivalent circuit modeling and followed by simulation and experiment validations.

As the renewable energy sources have been envisaged as a major source of energy generation for future, ultra-high-voltage DC (UHVDC) transmission system is playing an increasingly important role in transmitting huge amount of renewable power to the load center. The uncertainty of wind energy together with the risk of UHVDC faults posts great challenges in the secure operation of interconnected inter-regional power systems. In view of these challenges, the security assessment of UHVDC system considering uncertain wind output is proposed in this paper. First, we perform short-term wind output prediction based on Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). Second, we use Monte Carlo simulation to obtain wind power loss expectations, and then obtain different N − 1 contingency scenarios. Third, we proposed an optimal operational strategy in the presence of the above contingences, by coordinating AGC and AVC of each region of the inter-connected power system to eliminate over-limits of frequency, voltage, current and transmission capacity. Case studies with modified IEEE 14-bus system and a synthetic Chinese power grid show that the coordinated optimal operational strategy is able to ensure the frequency security, voltage stability, and the secure operation of the interconnected power system.

As the previous biggest and most liquid emission trading scheme, the study on EU ETS will provide valuable insights for China to develop its carbon derivatives market. This paper investigates the relationship between the EUA spot and futures markets within the third commitment period of the EU ETS by combing the VEC and BEKK models. Based on daily data, we study the transmission of information in these two markets. We reveal the leading position of EUA futures market in the price discovery process and this result is further confirmed by our subsequent volatility analysis. However, this link is weakened or even disrupted in the second sub-period. We argue that the completion of backloading of emission allowances and the upcoming more stringent regulations account for this change. In addition, our BEKK models identify the existence for a close link between the volatility dynamics of two markets, whereas in particular a bilateral volatility spillover is observed. Accordingly, we give the policy advice that regulators should value the role the futures market plays in leading the price discovery process and keep a good balance between the development of derivative markets and the spot market to establish a more integrated ETS.

Distributed Cooperative Control for DC Microgrid Clusters Interconnected by Multi-port Converter

Compared with AC microgrids, DC microgrids have attracted much attention due to the advantages of integrating distributed renewable energy generation systems, energy storage units, electric vehicles and other DC loads efficiently and reliably, without considering the issues of the frequency synchronization, the reactive power compensation, the power quality and so on. However, the current research on DC microgrid mainly focuses on the optimization and control of a single DC microgrid while ignoring the energy exchange and mutual support among multiple DC microgrids. In this paper, based on the consistency theory, we propose a distributed cooperative control method and apply this method to multiple DC microgrids which are connected by a multiple-active-bridge (MAB) converter. Each terminal port of the MAB converter is regarded as the internal node of the corresponding sub-microgrid. Thus, the accuracy of the average bus voltage is improved and the bus voltage of each sub-microgrid is stable and error-free. The output power of each distributed generation unit in a sub-microgrid is balanced. Meanwhile, the MAB converter can regulate the power flow according to the average voltage error and the output power of different microgrids, thereby achieving the energy exchange and mutual support between multiple DC microgrids. The output power of each distributed generation unit in all DC microgrids can also be balanced. Finally, the performance of the distributed cooperative control method is verified by simulation results.

IP Core Design of Phase-Locked Loop for Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Inverter Based on FPGA

In traditional grid-connected photovoltaic inverters, the SPWM signal generation process is complex and inflexible, and the phase-locked loop is easily affected by grid fluctuations and voltage waveform distortion. Based on that, a phase-locked loop control strategy for the grid-connected photovoltaic inverter is designed on the customized IP core technology of FPGA. The strategy realizes real-time tracking and adjustment of the phase difference between the photovoltaic inverter system and the grid. The proposed Graded Phase Control uses multiple delay shift register groups to adjust the phase of the SPWM signal by grades so that the inverter can output sinusoidal waves with high precision and good flexibility through the SPWM technology. The SPWM signal generation process is independently completed by the logic resources of the FPGA. During the process, a large number of CPU resources is released, thereby improving the overall performance and efficiency of the system. The simulation results and the sampling results of the embedded logic analyzer show that IP core can improve the quality of the SPWM signal waveform as well as increase the speed and stability of the system phase adjustment. The simulation experiment verifies the feasibility of IP core, which meets the requirements of fast speed and high reliability of phase-locked loops of the grid-connected photovoltaic inverter.

Prediction of Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) of CO2-Crude Oil System Based on GWO-RBF Neural Network

Accurately evaluating the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) of CO2-crude oil systems is a critical problem in the design of CO2 miscible flooding of reservoirs. Based on optimization algorithm and artificial intelligence model, a novel model integrating grey wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm and radial basis function (RBF) neural network is built through measured MMP data fitting, which is named GWO-RBF. On the basis of Spearman rank correlation analysis, the proposed model selects reservoir temperature, oil C5+ molecular weight and mole fraction of intermediate oil components (C2-C4, CO2, H2S) as the independent variables. The GWO-RBF model parameters (base function width σ, hidden layer node number M) are optimized using 40 sets of published CO2-crude oil system MMP data. Prediction is performed on extra 10 sets of non-training MMP data. The results show that the average absolute relative deviation (AARD) of the GWO-RBF model is 2.73% on training sets, while the AARD of model prediction is only 3.11%. On training and prediction sets, the maximum absolute relative deviations (ARDs) are 8.30% and 9.99%, respectively, while the minimum ARDs are 0.19% and 0.00%.

Once the transformer fails, it will bring blackouts to the power network. The existing protection methods are difficult to detect and locate faults. This paper analyzes the electrical characteristics of inter-turn short circuit of dual-winding transformer, discusses the possibility of on-line monitoring of inter-turn short circuit by innovation graph, and proposes an inter-turn protection method based on current ratio innovation. When the innovation value of current ratio exceeds the threshold value, the fault can be judged and the protection action can be protected. This method can avoid the transient process of transformer, and is not affected by inter-phase fault and external fault, which improves the reliability of the protection algorithm.

Research on Relay Protection of Active Distribution Network Based on Innovation Graph

The large scale integration of new energy leads to great changes in the characteristics of power flow and fault characteristics of traditional radial distribution network, which has a great impact on the correct action of relay protection devices. The influence of different types of short circuit faults on the protection device is analyzed when the distributed power is connected to the starting bus and the intermediate bus. A current protection scheme using the innovation graph to calculate the correct estimate ratio of lines is proposed. In this scheme, the innovation graph parameters are calculated by the current innovation before the fault and after the fault, and the fault is judged only by comparing the correct estimate ratio of each line in the region. Compared with the conventional method of current protection, the scheme has lower requirements for communication system and improves the complex coordination between contiguous lines. A simplified distribution network model is established in PSASP software to verify the effectiveness of the proposed protection scheme.

In the actual use of the substation, due to the long-term operation of the isolation switch, there will be closed or opened not in place, resulting in the arc between the left and right arm of the switch, will cause leakage events or damage to the switch equipment, serious fire, therefore, the opening and closing state of the switch needs to be accurately judged. At present, the real-time status judgment of open disconnector mainly depends on manual observation, which requires a lot of human resources and is not safe. In order to solve the problem of real-time automatic detection of switching on and off in substation, a real-time tracking method for automatic detection of switching on and off in substation is proposed. Firstly, the optical flow method and the midline model of the blade arm are used to accurately locate the blade arm, and the tracking feature points of the blade arm are accurately determined. Meanwhile, the opening and closing angles of the left and right blade arms in the real-time opening and closing process are estimated to achieve accurate positioning of the blade arm. After the circuit breaker is at the position of the disconnector, the center line is used to distinguish the arm wound edges of the circuit breaker, and a symmetrical formula for the matching points of the arm wound edge line circuit breaker is proposed, which is helpful to accurately determine the arm wound edge line circuit breaker. Then, according to the edge line around the circuit breaker arm and the angle between the arms, the relationship between the circuit breaker arm and the angle before and after the real-time video frame is calculated, and the opening and closing status of the disconnector is judged in real time. A deep learning-based identification method for ice breaker brake is proposed. The algorithm takes the adjusted residual network as the basic structure, takes the network model trained on ImageNet as the pre-training model, and adopts the model-based transfer learning method to learn and optimize the model parameters. The experimental results show that the isolation switch detection method has high precision, good stability, and is not affected by the change of external light, which has important practical application value.

Research on Fault Determination of Active Distribution Network Based on Random Forest-SVM Algorithm

After the distributed generation supply is connected to the traditional distribution network, the traditional distribution network changes from "passive" to "active", and the power flow changes from one-way to two-way. When the active distribution network fails, the short-circuit current is small, inconspicuous fault characteristics and rich harmonics make it difficult to locate faults. In this paper, a method for locating fault sections of active distribution network based on random forest-SVM algorithm is proposed. The method first performs fast Fourier transform on the voltage information collected at each measurement point to form the fundamental frequency voltage of each measurement point. And the fault feature set of the 2–7th harmonic voltage, the feature importance evaluation and feature selection of each fault feature are carried out by the random forest algorithm, and finally the fault section is located by the SVM algorithm. By connecting distributed generation and nonlinear loads in the IEEE33 node distribution network, the simulation results show that the method has rapidity, accuracy and fault tolerance for fault section location.

A Multiple Time-Scale Arc Fault Detection Method Based on Wavelet Transform and LSTM Autoencoders

In the photovoltaic (PV) power systems, a detection of arc fault is necessary for maintaining the safe operation of the system. While most of the previous arc fault detection methods generally detect the arc faults according to some single time-scale fault features, they may be disturbed by the change of the environment, leading to a low accuracy. In this work, a novel multiple time-scale arc fault detection method is proposed. Unlike the previous single time-scale detection methods, our method uses a multiscale wavelet transform to extract the multiple time-scale fault features, and then uses a one-class long short-term memory autoencoders (LSTM-AEs) to implement the detection in an end-to-end manner. Theoretical analysis shows that if the proposed multi time-scale fault features are used, the ratio of the false negative and the false positive will be significantly lower than that of the single time-scale methods. Experiments on a real-world arc fault benchmark with ground truth labels show that our method outperforms the baseline approaches in terms of Accuracy and AUC.

High Frequency Inductor Core Loss Calculation with Semi-finite Element Method

This paper describes a finite element-based method to calculate the core losses for the inductor in power converters operating at high frequency. The nodal flux density is calculated via finite element analysis at the given load condition. Then, the power loss of each element is calculated using the obtained nodal flux densities.

A Simulation Environment of Solar-Wind Powered Electric Vehicle Car Park for Reinforcement Learning and Optimization

In accordance with the United Kingdom's goal to reach net zero by 2050, electric vehicles (EVs) play a crucial role in transportation. However, if the electricity used to charge EVs is derived from fossil fuels, this does not necessarily imply a reduction of overall emissions nationally or globally. To achieve optimal EV charging, a deeper comprehension of the unpredictability of on-site renewable energy sources (ORES) energy output is required. In this paper, the predicted renewable energy generated is used as the actual value for the reinforcement learning algorithm simulation environment. Such a model can represent the relationship between the power generation and the wind speed as well as solar irradiation, which are characterized by significant uncertainties. The uncertainty analysis shows that the wind speed at Newcastle upon Tyne can be modelled as a Weibull distribution with parameters A = 19.98 and B = 1.91. As for energy demand, this paper integrates information from an Oslo (Norway) car parking garage-based set of EV charging stations with EVs' demand statistics. The charging habits of EV users range from 800 min to 1,000 min of parking time, and from 5 kWh to 20 kWh in terms of charging energy. The maximum connection frequency for EV charging is 20 min. In addition, this paper develops methods for stochastic EV charging and parking space occupancy employing actual data. Based on the aforesaid renewable energy generation and the EV charging status, it is possible to develop a decision algorithm to optimal renewable energy efficiency.
