Latest ArticlesDue to the complex structure of urban distribution networks, which are mostly cable and overhead mixed lines, and the neutral point is often grounded through arc suppression coils, when the system is single-phase grounded, the grounding current at the fault point is often weak, making it difficult to directly select the fault line by steady-state electrical quantities. This article creatively proposes a fault line selection method that combines transient zero sequence current and wavelet decomposition. The method quantifies the fault characteristic values and provides a fault diagnosis logic. Multiple sets of simulation data show that the fault line selection method proposed in this paper is not affected by factors such as distribution network structure, fault point location, closing angle during grounding fault, and resistance of fault point, and has good prospedts for engineering application.
The proposed practical case takes the signal acquisition project of BeiDou satellite system as the demands traction. The teaching case contains the knowledge and theory learned in the backbone courses, such as analog electronics, digital electronics, integrated circuit design, signals and systems, into the design of analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) circuit. It is expected to provide a coherent body of knowledge that will enable the students to use it for learning purposes. The practical case is a comprehensive, design-based experiment. According to the teaching design concept and the task requirements of the three levels (basic tasks, competence enhancement and engineering application), students complete the design of each unit in turn in accordance with the electronic system design process. Through the design of the competence enhancement and engineering application parts, the students' sense of innovation and enterprise is stimulated, their ability to solve practical problems is enhanced and their thinking about system design and engineering application is cultivated.

In grid-forming converters with weak overcurrent capability, it is generally necessary to introduce the current limiter to ensure fault current limiting. However, the synchronization stability of the system is weakened after triggering the current limiter, which is seldom comprehensively considered and addressed in existing studies. To this end, the phasor diagram method is used to reveal the fault current characteristics in this paper. Then, the adverse impact of the current limiter on the synchronization stability of the converter is analyzed based on the power angle characteristic curves and the extended equal area criterion. Thus, a virtual inertia current limiting method for grid-forming converters with enhanced synchronous stability is proposed, which simultaneously solves the fault current limiting and synchronous stability problems of converters by quantitatively controlling the virtual inertia. Finally, the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by Matlab/Simulink simulation experiments.
High impedance fault (HIF) is difficult to detect because of the low fault current amplitude and they can be easily confused with switching events. Existing HIF detection methods mainly rely on fixed time-window data. However, a fixed decision time often fails to balance the accuracy and speed of HIF detection. Thus, a sequence-adaptive HIF detection model is proposed in this paper. Firstly, zero-sequence current data of the faulty feeder are processed into variable-length training set. Then, a gated recurrent unit (GRU) model is trained based on variable-length data and cost-sensitive coefficient method to construct biased models. Two GRU models with opposite propensities are combined into an evaluation model. The test results on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform show that the detection accuracy rate of this proposed model can reach 99.13%, and the detection speed is improved by at least 37.52% compared to the fixed time-window method. Delayed decision-making improves the accuracy of HIF detection and reduces the risk of harm.
Under pressure, the magnetic field outside the ferromagnetic cavity is more complex under the influence of the background magnetic field, which reduces the accuracy of magnetic detection. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the influence of background magnetic fields on spatial magnetic fields is of great significance. In this paper, a magneto-mechanical coupling model for an oxygen tank is developed based on the improved Jiles-Atherton theory, and the composition of the spatial magnetic field is classified. The influence of the background magnetic field on each component of the spatial magnetic field is simulated and calculated. By establishing the relationship between the induced magnetic field and the background magnetic field, and analyzing the influence of the background magnetic field on the magneto-mechanical coupling effect under specified pressure, references are provided for the magnetic detection.
