    Under the context of "dual carbon," an optimization scheduling model considering carbon emission flow and staged carbon trading mechanism is proposed in this paper to promote the lowcarbon economic operation of distribution networks. Firstly, the participation of distribution networks in the carbon trading market is taken into account, and the theory of carbon emission flow is introduced to determine the carbon emission status of each node within the distribution network. Subsequently, the stochastic states of electric vehicles are determined using the Monte Carlo algorithm, and the carbon quota of power generation equipment is obtained based on the entropy weight method. Simultaneously, a carbon quota model for electric vehicles is constructed, and a staged carbon trading mechanism is applied to model electric vehicles, photovoltaic units, wind power generation, and thermal power units. Finally, the system is optimized using an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, with the objectives of minimizing the system operating cost and maximizing the system carbon income. The proposed model is verified through case studies conducted on an improved IEEE33 node distribution network system, where four operating scenarios are set. The research results demonstrate that the proposed model reduces carbon emissions by 539.43 tons, and the amount of wind and light discarded is reduced by 555.27 kW·h, which also makes the system's carbon revenue increase by 79.627 9 yuan.

    With the development of photovoltaic(PV) industry, high capacity ratios have gradually become popular in the PV power station. To find the optimal charging/discharge strategy of energy storage (ES) in PV subarray with a high capacity ratio, one operation strategy based on working mode recognition was proposed to coordinate two competitive objectives—load shifting and smoothing. Furthermore, a capacity configuration model with the objectives of life cycle net present value maximization and output fluctuation minimization was constructed considering the generation income, ES cost, fluctuation characteristics, and typical day type. Moreover, taking a 1 MW subarray with 1.8 capacity ratio in a northeast utilityscale PV power station as a case, the optimal capacity of 700 kW·h was obtained. The simulation results under different typical days verified the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed ES operation strategy as well as the configuration model.

    Wind turbine blades are subjected to various loads during operation, which can cause deformation, and yaw can make the force situation of the blades more complex. To investigate the dynamic flapping deformation of blades under yaw conditions, experimental research was conducted using digital image correlation (DIC) technology to explore the influence of changes in yaw angle, wind speed, and speed on the dynamic flapping deformation of blades. The results show that the dynamic flapping deformation of horizontal axis wind turbine blades varies in a sinusoidal pattern, and the higher the wind speed, the greater the dynamic flapping deformation. The higher the rotational speed, the greater the dynamic flapping deformation, and at the same time, the time it takes to reach the maximum value is also shorter, with more variation cycles experienced; The existence of yaw angle changes the force situation of the blade. The larger the yaw angle, the greater the trend of dynamic flapping deformation. The shorter the time it takes to reach the peak, the earlier the peak position is. At the same time, the proportion of positive dynamic flapping deformation decreases, and the proportion of negative dynamic flapping deformation increases. The most obvious trend is at a 30° yaw angle. The research results of this article can provide experimental data support for effective control of blade deformation and subsequent research on the impact of blade deformation on the aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbines.

    In the context of new power systems, represented by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, low system inertia and high uncertainty have led to prominent issues with grid frequency stability. While new energy sources with virtual inertia control have improved frequency stability to some extent in lowinertia grids, they have simultaneously increased the difficulty of inertia assessment in the grid. Addressing the challenge where traditional online inertia monitoring methods struggle to accurately estimate synchronous machine rotational inertia alongside virtual inertia from new energy sources, this paper proposes a comprehensive estimation method for rotational and virtual inertia in power systems based on multiimportance sampling and Bayesian inference without requiring any linear assumptions. This approach utilizes local measurements from PMUs (Phasor Measurement Units) within a Bayesian inference framework and employs multiimportance sampling algorithms to sample from the nonGaussian posterior distribution of inertia parameters, ensuring the accuracy of inertia estimation. Simulation results demonstrate that this method exhibits high precision in online inertia estimation for both synchronous and asynchronous generators and can be widely applied in novel electric power systems dominated by new energy sources.

    As a clean and lowcarbon energy system, the integration of wind, solar, and hydrogen microgrids plays an essential role in facilitating the transformation of energy structures and enhancing energy utilization efficiency. This paper investigates the capacity configuration issues of wind, photovoltaic, and hydrogen storage microgrid systems. A model of the windsolarhydrogen microgrid system has been developed, taking into account the uncertainties in wind and solar outputs. Based on historical data, typical daily scenarios are selected using an improved Kmeans clustering algorithm, and the uncertainty probability distributions are jointly constrained by both the 1norm and infinity norm within a confidence set. This study proposes a twostage distributionally robust model for the capacity configuration of windsolarhydrogen microgrids. The first stage determines the capacity of each component with the goal of minimizing investment costs, while the second stage aims to minimize operational costs. The solution to the model is derived through the application of the ColumnandConstraint Generation (C&CG) algorithm. The results indicate that the model can achieve a rational configuration of capacity, and it enhances the energy utilization efficiency and economic performance of the windsolarhydrogen microgrid.
