    In this study, the effects of pyrolysis temperature and lignocellulosic biomass/microalgae blending ratios on the yield, elemental composition, surface morphology, thermal stability, pore structure, surface functional group distribution and carbon skeleton structure of biochar derived from lignocellulosic biomass and microalgae co-pyrolysis were systematically investigated, and the synergistic effect and reaction mechanism during the co-pyrolysis process were further revealed. The results show that pyrolysis temperature and biomass/microalgae blending ratios had significant influence on the yield and physicochemical structure of co-pyrolysis biochar. The biochar yield decreases with rising pyrolysis temperature, and increases with higher microalgae blending ratios. The yield of co-pyrolysis biochar can reach as high as 41.51%, which is 23.5% higher than that of individual biomass biochar. The co-pyrolysis process of microalgae and lignocellulosic biomass exhibits a significant synergistic effect, which can enhance the yield of biochar and significantly promote the enrichment of C and N elements in biochar. The increase of pyrolysis temperature facilitates the conversion of pyridine-N to quaternary-N in biochar. With the increase of the microalgae blending ratios, the disorder degree and aromaticity of biochar is enhanced. The nitrogen-containing volatile produced from microalgae can react with the oxygen-containing functional groups on biomass through Maillard reaction, which further experience cyclization reactions and polycondensation reactions to form nitrogen-rich biochar.

    To achieve a simple and low-cost real-time measurement of sea waves, this article proposes a non-contact wave parameter measurement method based on shape-from-shading (SFS). Initially, a single camera is used to capture images of the wave tank and floating reference objects. Then, the three-dimensional shapes of the wave surface and reference objects are reconstructed using the SFS method. A size transformation coefficient is introduced into the 3D reconstruction results to accurately calculate wave parameters. The proposed method's wave parameter measurements are compared with actual measurements. Results indicate that the relative errors for average wave height and wavelength are less than 5%, the relative error for the average period is less than 1%, and the deviation in wave direction is within 5°. This method demonstrates high stability and accuracy.

    This paper presents a hydrodynamic performance prediction method based on Joukowski transformation and Gaussian process regression for rapid airfoil design of small-scale tidal stream turbines operating in low-velocity conditions. A set of Joukowski airfoils were selected as initial profiles and fitted using CST parameterization method. The lift and drag forces under low-velocity conditions were obtained through Fluent numerical simulation. A hydrodynamic performance prediction model was established by combining lift, drag, CST parameters with Gaussian process regression based on machine learning. Experimental results show that the average error rates of lift and drag prediction models are below 0.2%, with root mean square errors less than 3%.

    Based on long-term wave measurements in the northern sea area of Jiangsu Province, this study statistically analyzed four typhoon events and six cold wave processes to investigate wave characteristics under extreme weather conditions. The results demonstrate that the maximum wave heights induced by typhoons and cold waves are comparable, with significant wave heights reaching 4.59 and 4.73 m respectively. The typhoon waves generated by landfall typhoons are much greater than those of non-landfall typhoons. A positive correlation is observed between wave height and period during extreme wave events, and the wave spectrum is mainly single-peak spectrum, and both wind waves and swell waves exist.

    In order to improve the steady-state performance of the bus voltage of the energy-storage flexible multi-state switch(E-FMSS)DC side and suppress the DC voltage fluctuation when the connected feeder fails, this paper proposes a PID controller with improved fuzzy linear self-disturbance resistance controller(LADRC) instead of the outer ring of DC voltage. The improved fuzzy LADRC, based on the derivation model, adds an additional proportional link in parallel in the integral link of the disturbance estimation of the linear extended state observer (LESO) to enhance the accuracy of the disturbance estimation, and considers the LESO for system total disturbance estimation error compensation. The online optimization of fuzzy LADRC parameters is achieved by combining the active anti-disturbance parameter tuning method of the improved beetle antennae search. Simulation results show that when the feeder connected by E-FMSS fails, the strategy proposed in this paper can significantly suppress the DC voltage fluctuation of E-FMSS, the active power of each port is smooth transition, the system can quickly recover stability, and has good disturbance resistance.

    Aiming at energy coupling problem existing in the coordination and interaction among multiple virtual power plants (MVPP), a quantitative evaluation function of service quality for shared energy storage (SES) is established. Combined with the evaluation function, a bi-level optimization scheduling strategy of energy sharing among MVPP is proposed. In the upper level, taking into account both the target of economic benefits and service quality of SES, the capacity allocation is optimized. In the lower level, the units output within MVPP and transaction power among them are optimized to minimize the operation cost. To address the uncertainty of RE, based on chance constraint, an optimization model is constructed, where the KKT condition and the Big-M method are used to transform bi-level model into an equivalent single-level model. Simulation verifies the rationality of the proposed model and cases analysis are employed to demonstrate the impact of SES service quality and confidence level on energy sharing and energy storage configuration of MVPP. In addition, results show that with the consideration of service quality for SES, the enthusiasm of MVPP to participate in power sharing is enhanced effectively, realizing the rational utilization of resources.

    The power market's frequency regulation is being gradually influenced by flywheel energy storage's high frequency modulation performance with the development of new power systems. To address the issue that the traditional marginal clearing method overly focuses on frequency modulation performance and neglects cost-effectiveness, a market clearing strategy for modulating frequency of flywheel energy storage using Stackelberg game is proposed. A cost model for the charge and discharge of flywheel energy storage is developed firstly. To optimize the quote and minimize frequency regulation and auxiliary expenses, the Stackelberg game method is used with consideration of the operational constraints of flywheel energy storage, thermal power units and wind farms. Finally, according to the real-time frequency modulation demand, the clearing is carried out according to the marginal price ordering. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism ensures a reasonable winning rate and revenue for flywheel energy storage in the frequency modulation market, this aids in lowering the total cost of frequency modulation and enhancing the system's overall performance. Compared with the traditional method, this method improves the frequency modulation income of the unit and effectively promotes the consumption of new energy.

    To improve the control accuracy of permanent magnet synchronous machine in the flywheel energy storage system (FESS), an improved model predictive control strategy is proposed. Firstly, by alternately evaluating the cost functions of torque and flux, the weighting factor is eliminated and there is no need to determine the priority of control objectives in this proposed method. The proposed method effectively balances the control performance of torque and flux. Subsequently, to reduce the torque and flux fluctuations of the FESS, a double-vector synthesis method is designed and the duty cycle calculation process is simplified. In addition, to improve the parameter robustness of the system, the least squares method is used to identify the machine parameters and update the controller parameters in real time. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in FESS charging and discharging conditions are experimentally verified.

    To enhance the accuracy of RUL predictions, we proposed a novel lithium battery RUL prediction model that integrates multi-scale decomposition with multi-model fusion, effectively addressing noise and local fluctuations in capacity degradation data. Firstly, complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) is employed to decompose the original capacity data into several components. The high-frequency components primarily reflect short-term local variations and noise, while the low-frequency components capture the long-term degradation trends. Secondly, bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) networks and Gaussian process regression (GPR) are applied to model the decomposed high-frequency and low-frequency components, respectively, capturing the complex patterns and dependencies in the time series data. To further enhance predictive performance, the model parameters are optimized using an adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm. Finally, the individual predictions from each component are aggregated to compute the overall battery RUL. To evaluation on public datasets includes a comprehensive suite of experiments, such as comparison, ablation, and generalization studies. The results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves minimum AE, MAE and RMSE values of 0, 0.15%, and 0.18%, respectively, for the RUL prediction task. These findings highlight the model’s excellent generalization ability and high prediction accuracy, establishing its effectiveness for lithium battery RUL prediction.

    A robust MPC for three-phase grid-connected inverter system is proposed to address the high dependence on system model of traditional MPC in this paper. The dynamic sliding mode disturbance observer is designed to observe the centralized disturbance caused by the parameter mismatch of three-phase grid-connected inductor, and the disturbance observation is compensated to the system predictive model. At the same time, the active current and reactive current output control of the three-phase grid-connected inverter are incorporated into the cost function of MPC. The cost function values are evaluated for all valid switch states, then the optimal switch state that minimizes the cost function will be selected to trigger the grid-connected inverter. Finally, a 10 kW three-phase grid-connected inverter experimental platform is built to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed robust MPC.

    In order to explore the hydrogen diffusion law after hydrogen refueling station leakage and formulate corresponding protective measures, taking a planned hydrogen refueling station in Ningbo city as the research object, the CFD simulation software Ansys Fluent was used to simulate the hydrogen leakage diffusion under various external environmental conditions. Results indicate that wind has a significant impact on the leakage and diffusion of hydrogen: higher wind speeds correspond to smaller volume of hydrogen cloud formed and faster attainment of steady state. Structural elements such as buildings and equipment can redirect wind and reduce its speed to some extent. In such cases, the volume of formed hydrogen cloud is slightly larger but still smaller than under windless conditions. Hydrogen tends to accumulate at areas such as the junction of the station and the roof, as well as above the hydrogen dispenser. Placement of hydrogen sensors near these locations enables effective leak detection, reducing potential risks at hydrogen refueling station. Based on the constructed model, a layout scheme for hydrogen sensors is proposed, ensuring successful alarms in all studied scenarios. When wind direction is perpendicular to the direction of the leak, the volume of hydrogen cloud formed is small and detection may be relatively challenging, potentially leading to delayed alarms. Hence, it is suggested to increase personnel patrols or deploy additional mobile alarm devices in these areas.

    To tackle the non-uniform distribution of alkaline electrolyte across the corrugated bipolar plates during alkaline water electrolysis process for hydrogen production, the present work undertakes a structural optimization of the bipolar plates in a 5 Nm³/h alkaline electrolyzer. Computational fluid dynamics was employed to resolve the electrolyte velocity field under representative operating conditions. Numerical results indicate that the high-velocity zone is concentrated along the central axis of the existing corrugated plates, undermining flow uniformity. Two complementary remedies are therefore proposed. First, inclined guide grooves are introduced at the electrolyte inlet to laterally disperse the incoming flow. Second, the conventional spherical protrusions and recesses are replaced by ellipsoidal corrugations that alternately split and refocus the electrolyte stream. Simulations demonstrate that the combination of slanted inlet grooves and ellipsoidal surface topography markedly improves flow uniformity across the entire bipolar plate.

    This study developed a three-dimensional model of a composite flow field in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) to investigate the effects of operating conditions and geometric parameters of the flow field on cell performance. The findings reveal that oxygen distribution and current density in the inclined flow field are more uniform compared to the parallel and serpentine flow fields. The cell’s power density output is improved by 7.43% and 12.05% in the inclined flow field relative to the serpentine and parallel configurations, respectively. Higher operating pressures increase oxygen concentration within the channels, leading to enhanced cell output performance, while temperature shows a relatively minor influence due to the structural limitations of the flow field. A reduced number of channels in the flow field leads to uneven oxygen distribution, thereby diminishing the cell's performance. Increasing the rib-to-channel width ratio improves output performance, while changes in the channel aspect ratio show minimal impact on performance.

    To address the issue of low efficiency in hydrogen production from large-scale fluctuating wind power, we proposed an optimized control strategy for an electrolyzer array in a wind-hydrogen system combined with grid power purchases. Firstly, we stuolied the hydrogen production efficiency curve of proton exchange membrane electrolyzer. Based on the efficiency characteristics, we proposed a segmented regulation strategy considering hydrogen production efficiency for the start-stop control and power distribution of the electrolyzer array. Secondly, aiming to minimize the total system cost, we constructed an intraday optimization scheduling model for the wind-hydrogen system based on the artificial bee colony algorithm, using actual data from Ningbo for computational analysis. The results show that the proposed strategy increases hydrogen production by an average of 5.93% per hour compared to simple start-stop control, reduces the average daily start-stop times from 18 to 2, and improves the electrolyzer utilization rate from 64.58% to 98.75%. Furthermore, when the electricity price decreases by 47.27% and the hydrogen price increases by 14.29%, hydrogen production and power purchase increase by 15.56% and 227.79%, respectively, but the total cost decreases by 5.91% and 12.78%, indicating that the hydrogen price has a greater impact on the system’s economic performance.

    Based on the traditional serpentine flow channel, several non-uniform flow channel structures with alternating, gradient, trumpet, and dispersed types were proposed in this paper. By establishing a three-dimensional isothermal steady-state PEMFC simulation model, the effects of non-uniform flow channels on the mass transfer characteristics and output performance of PEMFCs were analyzed. The results show that compared to the conventional serpentine flow channel, non-uniform designs can effectively improve the transport and distribution of reactant gases and products within the flow channel, enhance the electrochemical reaction process, and achieve higher membrane current densities. Furthermore, these designs can better balance transport performance and pressure loss matching, effectively improving the energy utilization efficiency of PEMFCs. Specifically, the MD-Ⅵ flow channel increases the peak current density of PEMFCs by 10.2% and the peak power density by 14.2%. The non-uniform designs are expected to provide more ideas for the innovation and optimization of PEMFC flow channel structures.

The PV module dataset is constructed by slicing 2667 visible and thermal imaging images and labelling them with three kinds of defects: bird droppings, shading and light spots. Firstly, on the backbone network of YOLOv8n, a small target detection layer is constructed by adding a 3-layer CBS module to enhance the transmission of small target feature information. Secondly, a global attention mechanism is added to the Backbone part, adopting the framework of channel and spatial attention, so that the model can better capture the global feature information. Based on the above two improvements to the network structure to design its ablation experiments, the experimental results show that the improved model improves the mAP50 value and mAP50:95 by 4.3% and 1.5%, respectively, compared with the base model; to design the comparison experiments between the improved model and the other target detection models, and the experimental results show that the improved model's accuracy is better than that of the other detection models. Finally, combined with slice-assisted hyper-reasoning for slicing before detection, the overall model comparison experiments are designed with the addition of slice-assisted hyper-reasoning, and the experimental results show that the improved YOLOv8-PG+SAHI model is optimal for detecting small target defects in high-resolution photovoltaic module images, and the accuracy rate can reach 88.73%. The above experiments show that the improved model is more suitable for small target detection of PV modules under aerial high-resolution images.

Taking the P-V curve data of the photovoltaic array as input, the two models are used to diagnose the samples separately, and then the probabilities of the diagnostic results output from the two diagnosis models are weighted and averaged to derive the final diagnostic results and thus the type of faults are determined, so as to improve the accuracy of the photovoltaic array fault diagnosis. The proposed model is evaluated on the same dataset against four fault diagnosis models (CNN, CNN-LSTM, CNN-BiGRU, and DBN-ELM).

    In order to assess environmental impact throughout the full life cycle of the monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic system, a life cycle assessment (LCA) method was used to analyze and evaluate the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the production, transportation, operation and recycling stages of the 1 kW monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic system. The results show that the whole life cycle energy consumption of the 1 kW monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic system installed in Kunming is 992.08 kWh, with carbon emissions of 2033.24 kg. The energy payback period and carbon payback period are 0.90 and 16.96 years, respectively, both of which are shorter than the system’s operational lifespan. Energy consumption and carbon emissions are primarily concentrated in the production stage, with the production of solar-grade polysilicon having the largest share, followed by the production of balance-of-system components and monocrystalline silicon wafers. Improving the production technologies for solar-grade polysilicon, balance-of-system components, and monocrystalline silicon wafers, as well as enhancing the recycling efficiency of discarded photovoltaic systems, is key to reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Additionally, transportation distance and installation location can impact the energy payback period and carbon payback period.

    The nearshore floating photovoltaic (PV) power systems effectively address the contradiction between the need of PV power development and limited land resources, offering significant economic and social benefits. However, such systems are still in the early exploration stage and lack systematic research. This study utilizes PVsyst and SolarPV simulation software along with AQWA hydrodynamic simulation results to establish models of floating PV systems under various typical daily time scales in complicated nearshore environments. It comprehensively explored various key factors influencing system performance. A linear regression numerical model was developed based on simulation results, and path analysis was used to compare their impact on system performance gains. The results indicate that sea surface reflectance (37.9%) has the most significant impact on system performance, followed by average tilt angle during floating (30.6%), installation tilt angle or front-to-rear spacing (17.5%), and height above sea level (14%).

    This paper theoretically analyzes the current characteristics after a fault occurs in the transmission line of large-scale photovoltaic power generation, and proposes a large-scale photovoltaic transmission line pilot protection method based on the Hellinger distance. The current sampling values after the fault are discretized into probability distributions, and the similarity of the sampling value distribution on both sides is quantified using the Hellinger distance algorithm. The internal and external faults are judged based on the calculation results. The simulation verification shows that the proposed method can reliably respond to the internal and external faults of the protected line, and has good anti-noise and anti-synchronization error capabilities. Compared with the existing similarity protection and traditional pilot current differential protection, the proposed protection principle is more reliable.

    A mathematical model of the PV-thermoelectric coupling system is established based on thermal resistance theory. The improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is adopted, with maximum efficiency and output power as the optimization objectives. Simultaneously, the design variables include the cross-sectional area of the hot and cold sides of the thermoelectric element, the height of the thermoelectric element, the load resistance, and the concentrator ratio. The effects of different flow rates of nanofluids on the optimization results are also discussed. The results indicate that maximum efficiency and output power constrain each other and exhibit a non-linear relationship. Furthermore, the optimized performance of the coupled system surpasses that of a single photovoltaic system significantly, with efficiency and output power being maximally improved by 22.44% and 12.33% respectively compared to a single photovoltaic system. Moreover, the impact of increasing the nanofluid flow rate on system performance is not consistently beneficial. The coupled system performance is significantly influenced by the thermoelectric structure. An element height of approximately 1.073 mm is more compatible with this system. The system performance of non-equal cross-section thermoelectric elements is significantly better than that of equal cross-section elements. Maximum efficiency is achieved when S equals 2.27. TOPSIS effectively balances the efficiency and output power of the coupled system. The output power of the optimal compromise scheme increases by 283.01% compared to the efficiency maximization scheme, with only a 14.36% reduction in efficiency.

    When using drones to capture infrared images of photovoltaic modules for detection, the images often exhibit complex backgrounds, leading to challenges in detecting small target hot spots, which may result in information loss, false positives, or false negatives. In response to these issues, a novel fusion network(HCF-YOLO) is proposed by integrating the HCF-Net with the YOLOv8n network for detecting hot spot faults in infrared images of photovoltaic modules. This fusion network incorporates a Parallelized Patch-Aware Attention Module(PPA) to enhance the representation of small targets through hierarchical feature fusion and attention mechanisms, ensuring the retention of crucial hot spot information after multiple downsampling steps. Additionally, a Dimension-Aware Selective Integration Module(DASI) is employed to adaptively select and finely integrate high-dimensional and low-dimensional features, thereby enhancing the saliency of small targets. The Powerful IoU(PIOU) is adopted as the loss function for HCF-YOLO, guiding the early-stage regression of predicted boxes along effective paths to improve detection speed. The HCF-YOLO algorithm demonstrates a significant enhancement in detection accuracy, with the average precision at an intersection over union of 50%(AP50) increasing from 89.27% to 97.28% compared to the original YOLOv8n algorithm, achieving a detection speed of 217.33 frame/s. According to the experimental results, the effectiveness of the model is validated.

    The complex background interference in electroluminescence(EL) images of photovoltaic modules poses challenges for accurate defect identification. To address this, an improved deep learning model YOLOV5-PMD based on YOLOv5 is proposed. This model utilizes a lightweight convolution GSConv module to replace the Conv part of the Neck, enhancing accuracy while reducing the number of parameters. In addition, the convolutional CBAM attention mechanism is combined to improve the feature perception ability, and the EIoU loss function is replaced by the CIoU loss function to achieve more accurate defect location. On the public SolarMonocrystal dataset, the improved model reduces the training parameters from 7.025×106 to 6.695×106, and the average accuracy of mAP50 reaches 89.8%, which is 2.6% higher than that of the original model.

    Firstly, four experiments were conducted to assess the properties of acetic acid-resistant ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer(EVA) film: acid concentration test, high temperature stripping test, volume resistivity test, and electroluminescence(EL) test of small double-glass modules encapsulated with a combination of acetic acid-resistant EVA and ethylene vinyl acetate/polyolefin elastomer(EPE). Secondly, the reliability of N-type TOPCon solar cells' double-glass photovoltaic modules——encapsulated with acetic acid-resistant EVA and EPE, conventional EPE and EPE, as well as combinations of acetic acid-resistant EVA and EVA——is meticulously examined. The results indicate that the acetic acid concentration in acetic acid-resistant EVA is lower than that in conventional EVA after the PCT test. Furthermore, there is no significant black discoloration observed due to corrosion on the small modules' EL after both the PCT144 h and DH1000 h tests. This suggests that acetic acid-resistant EVA exhibits minimal corrosion effects on TOPCon solar cells under these conditions. The volume resistivity of acetic acid-resistant EVA exceeds 1015 Ω·cm, thereby meeting the insulation requirements for photovoltaic (PV) modules. The acetic acid-resistant EVA exhibits a stable adhesion to glass at a temperature of 80 ℃, thereby mitigating the risk of delamination under high-temperature conditions. The power degradation of double-glass PV modules encapsulated by acetic acid-resistant EPE and EVA combination and double EPE combination is less than 4% after DH3000 h, PID288 h and TC600 test, which can meet the International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC) standard. Therefore, the combination of acetic acid-resistant EPE and EVA can be utilized to encapsulate double-glass modules, serving as a replacement for the conventional EPE and EVA combination. This approach effectively meets the demand for encapsulation film particles while contributing to cost reduction.

    Based on the theory of random sampling, a ray-tracing model for predicting the wind-induced vibration of the mirror surface and its concentrating distribution is developed. A transient multi-physics approach is employed, integrating the flow field, structure, and optics. The model takes the solar position, heliostat elevation angle, and azimuth angle as variables, and analyzes the variation in the concentrating distribution of the mirror surface under pulsating wind loads. Pulsation, time-history, and Gaussian characteristics of key physical quantities such as concentrating efficiency, net wind load, and mirror displacement are also examined. The results show that wind-induced vibrations cause the heliostat’s concentrating efficiency to decrease by 8.26% to 19.48%, with the maximum efficiency loss occurring at noon. For every 1 mm increase in mirror displacement, the concentrating efficiency loss increases by about 2.87%. As wind speed increases, the net wind pressure and mean displacement exhibit a positive correlation, while concentrating efficiency follows a negative correlation. The fluctuation patterns of net wind pressure, mean displacement, and mean concentrating efficiency display instantaneous synchronization.

    To minimize the comprehensive power generation cost of microgrids, this article undertakes a study focusing on the optimization configuration of microgrid capacity, employing the improved sparrow search algorithm (ISSA). A capacity optimization model is formulated, with the annual comprehensive cost of microgrids serving as the objective function. This model incorporates various factors, such as price-based demand response, the levelized cost of energy storage systems, and time-of-use electricity pricing. Addressing the challenges of inadequate convergence accuracy and susceptibility to local optima in the traditional sparrow search algorithm, this study introduces an enhanced version of the algorithm. Initially, a chaotic reverse learning strategy is adopted to ensure a uniform distribution of the initial population. Subsequently, the golden sine formula is integrated to enhance the algorithm's convergence accuracy. Additionally, dynamic weight factors are introduced to improve the algorithm's dynamic performance and bolster its global search capabilities. Lastly, a mixed mutation perturbation strategy and a greedy strategy are employed to facilitate escaping from local optima. To validate the proposed ISSA, a comparative test is conducted against the sparrow search algorithm, grey wolf algorithm, and whale algorithm. The results demonstrate that ISSA exhibits superior convergence accuracy and faster convergence speed. Utilizing actual data from a specific region for numerical simulation, the calculated comprehensive power generation cost is reduced by 6.39%, 7.35%, and 11.68% when compared to the other three algorithms, respectively. This underscores the effectiveness and superiority of the ISSA in optimizing microgrid capacity configuration.

    The impedance model of LCL single-phase grid-connected inverter is established, and the mechanism of phase reduction of inverter output impedance caused by PLL is analyzed. In order to improve the influence of phase-locked loop on system stability, a multi-objective constrained power grid voltage feedforward control strategy is proposed. Firstly, a positive impedance is obtained by designing the transfer function of the voltage feedforward channel at the common coupling point to offset the negative impedance introduced by the phase-locked loop. Secondly, in order to reduce the difficulty of engineering implementation of feedforward control strategy, the original feedforward transfer function is simplified by establishing multi-objective constraints from the aspects of amplitude-frequency deviation and phase-frequency deviation in basic frequency band and middle frequency band, and an approximate equivalent feedforward transfer function is designed. And the stability analysis is presented. Simulation and experiment verify that the proposed method effectively enhances the adaptability of grid-connected inverter in weak grid.

    In this paper, the problem of high communication burden in the secondary control of islanded microgrids is investigated, and a new dynamic event triggering mechanism is proposed to schedule the communication between microgrids not only to regulate the voltage and frequency that cannot be controlled by the drop control to the desired values, but also to avoid the use of global information. Compared with the existing research results, the linear matrix inequality is used to design the ideal triggering mechanism and control protocol, and the proposed triggering mechanism involves internal dynamic variables, which dynamically adjusts the triggering thresholds, enlarges the lower limit of the event triggering interval, and drastically reduces the number of communication times among the controllers. Since the control scheme is fully distributed, there is information exchange between each generating unit only with its neighbours, which reduces the requirements of the communication network and improves the stability of the system. These internal dynamic variables play an important role in excluding Zeno behaviour. Finally, the argumentation is obtained through simulation.

    Based on the PEM hydrogen production model, develop models for both PV and PEM hydrogen production systems, and construct experimental setups for photovoltaic and photothermal PEM water electrolysis (PVPT-PEM)with various coupling configurations to explore the operational strategies of PV and photothermal-coupled PEM hydrogen production systems. Simulation and experimental results show that the hydrogen production rate of the direct-coupled PV system varies with solar irradiance. Under the same operating conditions, this system shows lower losses but suffers from reduced hydrogen production stability. In contrast, the indirect-coupled system is less affected by weather conditions, allowing for stable and continuous hydrogen production, although with increased system complexity. The independent photothermal system more effectively maintains the electrolyte temperature within the range of 50-80 ℃.

    To achieve mutual benefit between integrated energy systems (IES) and Vehicle-to-Grid(V2G) charging stations, a bilevel optimization method based on a leader-follower game under uncertain factors is proposed. Firstly, the IES is set as the upper-level leader and the V2G charging station as the lower-level follower. The objective of the upper level is to minimize the operating cost of the IES by formulating time-varying charging and discharging prices to guide the lower-level users in adjusting the charging and discharging power of the V2G charging station. The lower level aims to minimize the total charging cost of the V2G charging station and responsed based on the price information set by the upper level, thus constructing a leader-follower game model. Then, based on the multi-scenario method, the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) is introduced to measure the risk loss caused by the uncertainty of wind and solar power output on system operation. Using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions and strong duality theorem, the original bilevel game model is transformed into a single-level mixed-integer linear programming problem to compute the Nash equilibrium solution, thereby obtaining the optimal operation and pricing scheme. Results show that the proposed method can balance the economic interests of different entities within the IES and V2G charging stations, achieve a balance between operating costs and risk costs, ensure the consumption of renewable energy and promote carbon reduction.

This method enhances the precision of system flexibility assessment over medium- and long-term time horizons, thereby providing guidance for the planning and development of flexibility resources. Initially, wind power ramping segments are meticulously filtered and extracted using the Spinning Door algorithm and the Four-Point method. Subsequently, the daily wind power output ramping characteristic indices are identified by analyzing the morphology and distribution properties of these ramping segments. With these indices in hand, the K-medoids clustering algorithm and kernel density estimation are employed to establish a probabilistic distribution model for the daily wind power output ramping features. This enables the generation of a daily wind power output sequence that encapsulates both ramping characteristics and time series attributes, achieved through Monte Carlo sampling and sequence optimization techniques. In the final step, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is utilized to simulate the impact of meteorological conditions on the transition characteristics between daily wind power output sequences, thereby creating annual wind power output sequences that accurately reflect both the stochastic nature and ramping characteristics of wind power. The simulation is grounded in wind power output data from a province in Northwest China. The resultant annual wind power output sequences are then applied to assess the long-term flexibility of the system, validating the efficacy and practical applicability of the proposed methodology.

    The monopile foundation of offshore wind turbines is subjected to cyclic loads such as wind, waves and currents for a long time, resulting in excessive cumulative deformation of the pile foundation. The monopile foundation is strengthened in the shallow layer with cement-soil to form a composite pile, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the cyclic cumulative deformation. To research the cyclic behavior of monopile in cement-improved clay, a series of model tests on the lateral bearing capacity of monopile in cement-improved clay under lateral cyclic loading were carried out. The variation characteristics of monopile bearing capacity, pile bending moment, accumulated deformation, cyclic unloading stiffness and cyclic bending moment before and after reinforcement were analyzed. The test results show that the initial stiffness and ultimate bearing capacity of single pile are significantly strengthened by cement-improved soil, and the maximum bending moment of pile is reduced, which improves the overall load performance of pile. Regardless of the reinforced or the unreinforced pile, with the increase of cycle times, the cumulative displacement of pile top cycle increases rapidly initially, and then gradually stabilizes. Cement-soil reinforcement can effectively improve the horizontal stiffness of pile foundation, but it cannot change the law of attenuation with the increase of circulating load amplitude. There is a significant accumulation of the bending moment of the unreinforced pile, but the cumulative effect of the decrease of the reinforced pile can be ignored.

    This article establishes a new type of life prediction model to address the issue of large prediction errors in the remaining life of wind turbine bearings. This model considers the randomness of the failure threshold for life prediction, uses the maximum likelihood method to estimate the parameters in the model, and updates the parameters based on Bayesian theory. At the same time, considering that the errors of the prediction model itself will accumulate over time, which will affect the accuracy of life prediction, an error correction model is established, and the distribution of its remaining service life was solved. The prediction model established in this article was used to predict the remaining life of wind turbine bearings, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

    Field data monitoring and analysis were carried out for a 4 MW offshore wind turbine at a nearshore wind farm in Jiangsu Province. An integrated model of the wind turbine-tower-foundation was established by finite element software and compared with the base-tower model. The models’ reliability was verified based on long-term monitoring data for the project. The effects of structural dimensions, foundation conditions, and wind turbine operating states on the natural frequency of the structure were analyzed based on the integrated model. The results show that the natural frequency of the wind turbine obtained from the integrated model is closer to the actual monitoring values compared to a simplified model, and simplifying the upper wind turbine structure leads to an overestimation of the natural frequency. The monitoring results of the natural frequency of the structure are not significantly affected by the monitoring elevation and can be used to assess the wind turbine's operational status based on the consistency of natural frequencies at different elevations. As the foundation embedment depth, pile diameter, soil elastic modulus, and internal friction angle increase, the natural frequency of the structure also increases. With an increase in the tower height, the natural frequency of the structure linearly decreases, and an increase in the tower wall thickness leads to a parabolic increase in the natural frequency of the structure. Changes in the friction coefficient between piles and soil have minimal impact on the natural frequency of the structure. Wind turbine operation increases the low-order natural frequencies of the structure, with the most significant impact on the first two natural frequencies.

    In order to further investigate the influence between the tooth root crack excitation and the dynamic characteristics of the wind turbine gear-bearing coupling system, a quantitative calculation of the time varying meshing stiffness(TVMS) of cracked gears and a coupled system vibration solution method considering the slicing coupling effect are proposed. Taking the high-speed stage of a certain type of wind power gearbox in an enterprise as the research object, and comprehensively considering time-varying factors such as the dynamic meshing force of gear pairs and the dynamic supporting force of rolling bearings, a dynamic model of crack faults in the wind power gear-bearing coupling system was established. The influence of tooth root cracks on the TVMS of gears and the dynamic characteristics of the system was analyzed, and the correctness of the model was verified through bench tests. The results show that: the gear TVMS correction algorithm considering the slicing coupling effect can better characterise the dynamic change of the gear meshing stiffness under crack failure, the tooth root crack causes the gear TVMS to decrease, and ignoring the coupling effect between the slicing gear teeth may overestimate the effect of the tooth root crack depth on the gear TVMS. There is a certain correlation law between the root crack excitation and the dynamic contact load of the rolling body in the bearing, with the increase of the root crack depth, the amplitude of the dynamic contact load of the rolling body also increases, and the range of the bearing load carrying area tends to decrease; When cracked gears are involved in meshing, the reduction of TVMS will cause the vibration displacement of the coupled gear-bearing system to produce a large cyclic shock response, and produce the phenomenon of side bands near the meshing frequency, ignoring the coupling effect between the sliced gears and teeth, or simplifying bearings to stiffness damping matrix may underestimate the vibration response of the coupled system due to gear crack excitation.

    In order to accurately characterize the winding asymmetry fault in a doubly-fed induction generator, this study investigates the effect of spatio-temporal wind speed variations (caused by wind shear and tower shadow) based on actual wind conditions across the rotor swept area. Firstly an equivalent wind speed mode that accounts for the spatio-temporal variations of wind speed was develop-ed, and investigates the corresponding stator current characteristics based on this model was investigated. It then analyzes the impact of key wind speed distribution parameters, including the wind shear exponent, tower radius, and hub offset, on the stator current behavior.

Subsequently, simulation verification was conducted using the MATLAB/Simulink platform, and experimental verification was performed on a doubly-fed wind turbine fault simulation platform. The results show that, compared with the existing fault characteristics based on the average wind speed at the hub, the modulation frequencies of 3kPk is an integer, P is the rotation frequency) appear on both sides of the stator current fundamental frequency and its third harmonic when wind speed spatio-temporal distribution differences are considered. Different wind speed distribution parameters affect these characteristic frequencies to varying degrees. The research results improve the fault diagnosis theory system of doubly-fed wind turbines and have a certain theoretical significance for practical fault diagnosis.

    In order to understand the actual fatigue damage and remaining service life of wind turbines, it is crucial to conduct fatigue assessment of wind turbines based on vibration monitoring. Through long-term monitoring of tower bottom strain of a 1.5MW wind turbine, a new method for real-time prediction of fatigue damage was proposed based on the traditional four-point rainflow cycle counting algorithm. Traditional methods only considered stress cycles within subsets and ignored transition cycles between subsets. The new method proposed in this article predicted the current fatigue damage by concatenating residue series that could not form complete cycles in the past stresses with newly measured stresses. The new residue series were then stored and combined with subsequent measured stresses to evaluate the fatigue damage of wind turbines in real time. The fatigue damage obtained by using this method was identical to the results obtained by using known data as a continuous sequence, proving the accuracy of this method. At the same time, in this method only the residue series of historical data need to stored, which occupy less memory, this article also proveds that the accuracy of this method is not affected by the calculation window length. This provides a solution for online real-time prediction of fatigue damage in wind turbine structures.

    To enhance the load-bearing capacity and operational stability of wind turbine gearbox, this study investigates influence of multiple errors on the load sharing of compound planetary gearbox. A dynamic load sharing performance uncertainty analysis method for compound planetary gearbox of wind turbine under the influence of multiple errors is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the lumped parameter method is adopted to establish the dynamic load sharing performance analysis model of the compound planetary gearbox. Specifically, the mapping relationship between the multiple errors and the load sharing performance is apprehended. Secondly, the second-order derived λ-PDF is applied to model the uncertainty of the aforementioned errors, enabling a unified measurement of multiple errors under different distributions. Thirdly, the dimension reduction integration method is employed to solve the high-dimensional dynamic load sharing performance analysis model of the compound planetary gearbox. Finally, the second-order derived λ-PDF is used to precisely quantify the uncertainty of the load sharing performance of compound planetary gearbox. The example results indicate that the proposed method can effectively decompose the dynamic load sharing performance analysis problem containing multiple uncertain parameters into the dynamic load sharing performance analysis problem with multiple single uncertain parameters. Compared to the Monte Carlo method involving the large-sample statistical simulation, the proposed approach reduces the computational complexity of dynamic load sharing performance analysis while ensuring computational accuracy.

    Dynamic stall induced by flow separation during the rotation of wind turbine blades can make the aerodynamic forces deteriorate drastically. In order to improve the dynamic stall characteristics of the airfoil, an aerodynamic optimization framework of the airfoil based on a surrogate model is established. The S809 airfoil is taken as the research object. First, the airfoil is parametrically characterized, and the input vectors of the model training samples are obtained by Latin hypercube sampling, and the corresponding response values are solved by CFD method. Secondly, the surrogate model of aerodynamic shape and aerodynamic force of the airfoil is constructed by Gaussian process regression, and the model accuracy is improved by the infill point criterion. Finally, with the objective of reducing the aerodynamic fluctuations, the aerodynamic forces of one pitch cycle are optimized and designed by combining the global optimization algorithm. The results show that compared with the baseline airfoil, the change of aerodynamic shape of the optimized airfoil significantly reduces the drag and moment fluctuations, and effectively suppresses the dynamic stall in the airfoil leading edge during the pitch-down phase.

    In response to the lack of predictive accuracy and error processing of the existing predictive model when dealing with the severe fluctuations of wind power, this work proposes a mixed wind power prediction method based on error -based modification, combining the experience modus of the time -based filter to decompose TVFEMD, TVFEMD, and Support vector return to SVR and two -way long -term memory neural network BiLSTM. First of all, the original wind power data is decomposed into this modulus function IMFS by applying TVFEMD to achieve the purpose of eliminating its complexity and uncertainty. Then, the improved grid search algorithm and cross -verification algorithm (GridsearchCV) optimize the support vector regression model, and use the model to predict the decomposed IMFS. Secondly, use a improved sparrow search algorithm (SSA) to optimize the BiLSTM network construction error correction model, predict the prediction error of support vector regression, and superimpose the prediction results with those of support vector regression to obtain a more accurate final prediction result. This method not only improves the accuracy of wind power prediction, but also provides a more reliable basis for the fields of wind power power generation. Compared with the results of the prediction model constructed under other optimization methods, this model has higher predition accuracy and stability.

    This paper proposes a hybrid model for ultra-short term wind speed prediction based on UAV-based wind measurement. The model firstly integrates Time2Vec temporal embedding layer to extract the complex non-linear temporal information, and secondly adopts deep convolutional neural networks with wide first-layer kernels(WDCNN) to accurately extract the wind speed features while further reducing the influence of high-frequency noise, and on the basis of the accurate feature extraction, the accurate prediction of short-term wind speed is achiered by combining bi-directional gating unit (BiGRU) and the attention mechanism to achieve the accurate prediction of short-term wind speed. The accuracy of the hybrid model proposed in this paper is superior to the comparative method for wind speed prediction at all altitude layers when wind speed data acquired by a UAV mounted at 5-25 m is used for validation. Furthermore, at the 25 m altitude layer, where wind speed volatility is the greatest, the model's wind speed prediction demonstrates a lower mean absolute error (EMAE), root mean square error (ERMSE), and mean square error (EMSE) than that of the comparative method. The values are 0.1455, 0.4124, and 0.1700 m/s, respectively, which are lower than those of the comparison model by 45%, 25%, and 43%, respectively. These values have been reduced by more than 45%, 25%, and 43%, respectively, in comparison with the values obtained from the comparative model.

    This paper proposes an improved centralized damping method: applying a damping matrix at the equivalent rotational center of the monopile. The equivalent rotational center serves as a "decoupling point" for the monopile foundation, addressing the coupling issue in the stiffness matrix at the mudline that complicates rotational damping coefficient calculations based on apparent rotational stiffness. First, the formulas for calculating the damping ratio of the pile-soil interaction system and the position of the equivalent rotational center are derived. Then, this improved method is incorporated into the integrated time-domain analysis of offshore wind turbines by developing the SoilDyn module in OpenFAST. Finally, the validity of the improved centralized damping method is verified by comparing it with distributed damping results under the same load conditions.
