Latest ArticlesInstalling a certain capacity of flywheel energy storage system (FESS) at the grid connection of wind farms can effectively smooth the gridconnected power and improve the gridfriendliness of wind farms. To improve the power response speed of FESS and enhance the smoothing effect of wind power fluctuation while avoiding overcharge/overdischarge of FESS, this paper proposes a control strategy for FESS based on a fuzzy Kalman filter and the improved sliding mode control(SMC). The Kalman gain is adaptively adjusted according to the realtime speed and power of FESS. The difference between the filtering result and the wind farm output power is used as the input of the SMC to realize the power control of FESS. The simulation results show that the control strategy proposed in this paper has good dynamic response characteristics and the wind power can be effectively smoothed, thus meeting the requirements of grid connection. The flywheel speed is kept within the limit during the smoothing process, which extends the service life of FESS.

The microexplosion of emulsified fuel can promote fuel atomization and mixing, however the key to affect its microexplosion characteristic is the emulsifier. Emulsified methanoldiesel was prepared by mechanical emulsification and phacoemulsification, to study the effect of emulsifier types and content on the stability and dispersion of micro emulsified methanoldiesel. The results show the dispersion of the micro emulsified methanoldiesel can be improved by using compound emulsifiers and increasing the emulsifier content; The increase of emulsifier content can improve the microexplosion intensity, delay the initial time of microexplosion, reduce the droplet life, and reduce the droplet evaporation rate in the stabilization stage; The microexplosion intensity of methanol emulsifier content ratio of 10:5 and 10:8 was increased by 34.3% and 37.6% compared with methanol emulsifier content ratio of 10:3 respectively.
The analysis and mastery of the inner law of the fluctuation characteristics of wind power output is conducive to improving the prediction accuracy of wind power output, thus guiding the power grid scheduling department to reasonably arrange the power generation plan and improve the economy of system operation. To characterize the probability density distribution of wind power output fluctuations, two adaptive bandwidth kernel density estimation models are developed by modifying the fixed bandwidths obtained from the empirical method and the unbiased crossvalidation method. Then, the above two models are combined and optimized, and finally the probability density distribution model of wind power output fluctuation based on hybrid adaptive kernel density estimation (HAKDE) is established. A variety of probability density distribution models were used to fit the fluctuations of wind power output at different spatial and temporal scales in a province in North China. The results show that the fitting effect of the HAKDE model is the best, which verifies the effectiveness of the HAKDE model.
In order to maximize the solar radiation yield, it's imperative to optimize the inclination angle of the solar collector. To this end, a calculation model for solar radiation on inclined surfaces was established, and the computation processes for direct and scattered radiation were separately streamlined. MATLAB was utilized to analyze and perfect the elevation angle of the collector, which led to the determination of monthly and annual optimum inclination angles. The research disclosed that the ideal annual inclination angle in Tianjin is 36.3° , marginally inferior to the local latitude. The monthly tilt angle should vary between 10~64°, with lower degrees in summer and higher in winter. Placing the collector horizontally enhances annual solar radiation by 12.4% and 17.3% at the optimal yearly and monthly inclination angles, correspondingly. Adjusting the optimum tilt angle by 5.0% is feasible when compared with using the local latitude as the tilt angle. Taking Guangzhou, Lhasa, Jinan and Changchun as examples, the annual and monthly optimum tilt angles of these regions are calculated.The comparative analysis of various cities revealed that for regions with high direct radiation proportion, refining the optimal angle on a monthly basis leads to higher energy gains.
A transfer learningbased early fault warning method for offshore wind turbine bearings is established to address the problems of varying operating conditions of offshore wind turbines and many false alarms for early fault warning of turbine bearings. The method uses the shorttime Fourier transform to extract the timefrequency domain features of the vibration signals, which are normalised to form pre processed samples. The objective function of the convolutional autoencoder is supplemented with a support vector data description regular term and a maximum mean discrepancy regular term to constrain the feature distribution while obtaining the common features center of the bearings in normal state under different operating conditions. The Euclidean distance between the online sample features and the common feature center is calculated to construct bearing health indicator sequence, and the ADF(Augmented DickeyFuller)test is introduced to perform stationarity analysis and capture the sequence mutation points, which finally realize the early fault warning of bearings in offshore wind turbines. The validation on the XJTUSY bearing dataset showed that the proposed method has fewer false alarms, high accuracy and better detection stability.
To investigate the combustion characteristics of a blended fuel consisting of bituminous coal, miscellaneous wood pellets, and oil sludge, thermogravimetric analysis is conducted on the blended fuel to analyze its combustion behavior. The FWO method is employed for kinetic analysis of the blended fuel. The results show that the combustion process of bituminous coal is primarily fixed carbon combustion, while the combustion process of miscellaneous wood pellets is more complex and exhibits the best combustion performance, with a comprehensive combustion characteristic index as high as 1.93×10⁻⁷. Cofiring with miscellaneous wood pellets effectively enhances the combustion performance of bituminous coal. When bituminous coal and miscellaneous wood pellets are blended in a mass ratio of 1:4, the ignition temperature of the blended fuel decreases by 35% compared to bituminous coal alone. The comprehensive combustion characteristic index increases by 7.2% compared to miscellaneous wood pellets. The most probable function for the cofiring of bituminous coal and miscellaneous wood pellets is [ln (1x)]⁻³/⁴. When the blending ratio of miscellaneous wood pellets reaches 45%, the appropriate addition of oil sludge can improve the combustion performance of the fuel. The most probable function for the combustion reaction of the blended fuel consisting of all three components is [ln (1x)]². When the blending ratios of bituminous coal, miscellaneous wood pellets, and oil sludge are 40:40:20 and 45:45:10, respectively, the corresponding activation energies of the blended fuel are significantly lower than those of other blending ratios, and the comprehensive combustion characteristic index is approximately 1.5 times that of pure bituminous coal.

This paper proposes a method to predict the photovoltaic output based on weather state pattern recognition and SSABP, which is more accurate than traditional single models under different weather conditions. Firstly, the historical data was cleaned using the 3sigma algorithm to obtain the data that can reflect the output of photovoltaic power plants and the regularity of weather changes. Then, based on the analysis of the parameters such as irradiance, temperature, and wind speed, Gaussian mixture models were applied to classify the professional weather types and three typical generalized weather types were obtained. Furthermore, the data was used as SSABP neural network input to predict the futuristic photovoltaic power plant output. Finally, the carbon accounting method was used to calculate the carbon emission reduction of the photovoltaic power generation project. The experimental results show that through classification recognition and the optimized SSABP neural network, the mean relative errors in the prediction for the three weather types are 0.195, 0.243 and 0.310, respectively. Compared with other predication models, the relative errors are reduced by 17.8%~66.7%. In addition, the relative error between the predicted carbon dioxide emission reduction and actual value is only 3.37%. The model proposed in this work shows satisfactory prediction results.
The traditional photovoltaic power generation system usually operates at the maximum power operation point, does not respond to the change of grid frequency, and cannot provide active power to suppress the change of grid frequency. With the increase of photovoltaic permeability, the safe and stable operation of the grid will be affected. In this paper, load shedding control is adopted to realize the response to system frequency without changing the main circuit structure, grid connection strategy of inverter and adding energy storage equipment. First, the current maximum power operation point is obtained by setting the masterslave array to achieve load shedding control. By setting the corresponding relationship between frequency and load shedding rate, the change of active power output for frequency change is achieved, and the system is provided with active power support. Finally, the effectiveness of the results is verified through simulation on the hardware in the loop simulation platform.
