    Largescale wind power grid integration increases the uncertainties of system operation. It is urgent to use rapidly adjustable resources to smooth the power imbalance caused by wind power and load fluctuation and consider the impact of spinning reserve calling process on the system power flow. Firstly, the probability distribution model of wind power and load prediction error is analyzed. Then, the optimal dispatching model of power system with N1 network security opportunity constraint and spinning reserve opportunity constraint is established, and the unit output is optimized with the goal of minimizing the total dispatching cost. Finally, the Benders decomposition method based on the identification method of active integer variables is used to deal with the N1 network security constraints to improve the solving efficiency. Using the modified IEEE30node test system, it is verified that the proposed model can guarantee the reserve availability, economy and safety of the system, and fully excavate the fast adjustable capacity of pumped storage.

    Deep borehole heat exchangers (DBHE) is currently recognized as the most environmentally friendly way to exploit geothermal energy. The deep Ushaped borehole heat exchanger is a new type of DBHE which is being explored.

    In response to the challenge posed by the limited accuracy of traditional fault diagnosis methods in wind turbine gearbox applications due to the complex and variable operational conditions and the presence of significant noise, the MTFSwin Transformer wind turbine gearbox fault diagnosis model is proposed. Initially, the onedimensional vibration time series signal is transformed into a twodimensional feature map with correlated temporal information using the Markov Transition Field (MTF) graph encoding method. Subsequently, this feature map is employed as the input for the Swin Transformer model, which utilizes a selfattention mechanism for automatic feature extraction. This process culminates in the classification of various fault types. The results demonstrate a fault diagnosis accuracy of 99.48%, affirming the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

    In order to explore the fatigue performance of the wind turbine foundation with embedded ring when the blade mass is imbalanced, the additional load is derived by reconstructing the blade mass imbalance model of the wind turbine, a singlepoint simulation of the pulsating wind velocity spectrum is done based on the harmonic synthesis method theory to calculate the basic operating load such as the aerodynamic load of the wind turbine, the finite element model of the wind turbine bladetowerfoundation integration is established with the actual engineering as an example, and the structural selfresonance characteristics and the load response under the combined action of the basic operating load and the additional load are calculated. The results show that the deepening of the imbalanced quality of the wind turbine blades will lead to the intensification of the stress concentration phenomenon and the increase of the stress amplitude of the basic structure, which in turn will affect the fatigue performance and fatigue life of the structure. and the force characteristics of the concrete in the structure will be greatly affected, followed by the steel cage, and the foundation embeddedring is the smallest.

    In order to improve the control performance of wind turbine electrohydraulic pitch system, a fractional terminal sliding mode control method based on perturbation observer is proposed. The mathematical model of the wind turbine electrohydraulic pitch system is established, and the slidingmode state and perturbation observer is used to compensate the uncertainty and unknown disturbance of the pitch system parameters in real time. Fractional calculus theory is used to design the sliding mode surface of the terminal sliding mode controller, which can improve the jitter of the sliding mode control itself while ensuring the finite time convergence. Simulink is used for experimental verification, and the results show that the method enhances the antiinterference ability of the pitch system, weakens the jitter of the system, improves the tracking accuracy of the pitch angle, and improves the stability of the pitch system.

    As the proportion of renewable energy and variable loads in the distribution system gradually increases, the uncertainty of power flow in the distribution network will affect the optimal network topology. Since distributed generation and demand response are affected by the time factor, the topology obtained by modeling at a single time period is difficult to be optimized at different times of the day. To address this uncertainty, this paper proposes a secondorder cone optimizationbased distribution network reconfiguration model for multitemporal tidal flow analysis for billing and demand response. By considering the "sourcestorageload" structure of the actual distribution system, an optimization problem with the objectives of network operation cost and switching operation cost is established, and the secondorder cone relaxation is used to transform the nonconvex search space into a convex feasible domain for fast solution. Experimental results on an improved IEEE 33 node distribution network show the superiority of the proposed method over traditional methods in terms of accuracy and solution speed.

    Voltage violation has become an important factor limiting the maximum integration capacity of photovoltaics. To address the issue of voltage violation caused by largescale photovoltaic grid connection, the article proposes a grouped coordinated voltage control strategy for distribution networks with high proportions of photovoltaics. Firstly, based on the different voltage sensitivities of photovoltaic connection nodes in the distribution network, the concept of grouped coordinated control for photovoltaic inverters is introduced. Then, within each group of photovoltaic inverters, voltage control is carried out using capacity utilization ratio and power factor as consistent variables, while intergroup coordination control ensures that the voltage at key nodes converges to the set value of 1.05 p.u.. Finally, through case simulations, the proposed control strategy is verified to effectively suppress voltage violations in distribution networks, avoid unnecessary active power reduction, and demonstrate strong robustness during load and photovoltaic fluctuations.

    The article addresses the problem of relatively low accuracy of traditional PV power prediction and proposes a hybrid TOPSISGRNN based mechanismdata driven PV plant power prediction model. Firstly, the correlation analysis of several meteorological indicators and the output power of PV power plant is carried out, and the meteorological data with high correlation is selected as the input factor of the model. The TOPSIS algorithm was used to select the optimal similar days, and then the theoretical values of their PV plant output power and meteorological data were used to build the GRNN prediction model. Finally, the model was simulated and validated by combining the historical meteorological data and power data on the DKASC website. The final test results yielded an average power prediction accuracy of 0.826 9 kW for RMSE, 3.45% for MAPE and 0.019 5 kW for MAE. The prediction accuracy of this forecasting method is significantly higher than that of a single forecasting model and has some theoretical and practical value.
