Latest ArticlesWith the rapid development of wind power industry, the number of wasted wind turbine blades increased significantly year by year, which brings great environment pressure. Against this problem, the influence of atmosphere on the generation characteristics of gas, liquid and solid products of wasted wind turbine blades during thermal treatment at different temperatures was studied, to provide reference for thermal recovery strategies. The results showed that, in N2 and CO2 atmospheres, the production of combustible CH4 reached the highest at 800 ℃, that of CO increased with temperature. Tar products in each atmosphere mainly consisted of p-isopropenyl phenol, p-isopropyl phenol and bisphenol A. Moreover, it was found in the experiment that, at high temperature, CO2 in the atmosphere effectively prevented the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in tar, which is helpful to subsequent treatment of tar. It is also found that, the coke yield in air and CO2 atmosphere was higher than that in N2 atmosphere, however, at higher temperatures (600 ℃ and above), the results were opposite. This may be due to different carbonization levels in different atmospheres at low temperatures.
China's large-scale clean energy base has formed a regional power-heat combined system with multiple randomness, such as wind power, photovoltaic power generation and power/heat load, which highly depends on flexible and adjustable resources. Its low-carbon and economic operation is also challenging. In order to fully integrate the resources from source and load sides and maximize the consumption of new energy power, a day-ahead optimal dispatching method of the regional integrated electric-heating operation system considering demand response of electric, heating loads and prediction error scenario is proposed. Firstly, sliding time window multivariate Gaussian mixture distribution and Monte Carlo are used to generate and correct the random source-charge day-ahead prediction error to further optimize the forward scheduling results. Secondly, the demand response models of electric and heating loads are analogically defined. A regional electric-thermal system model considering the source-charge interaction is established. Then, considering multiple costs, a low-carbon and economic pre-ahead scheduling expectation model of the joint system is established in all typical scenarios. Finally, by taking the winter energy supply in a region in northern China as an example, the multi-scenario optimization operation results of electricity with and without electricity and heat load demand response are gradually compared. The results show that, fully introducing the electric and heating load demand responses and molten-salt thermal energy storage boiler can promote the consumption of large-scale wind and photovoltaic power, and significantly enhance the low-carbon and economic operation capability of the regional integrated electric-heating system.
In order to reduce the adverse impact of wind power fluctuation and anti-peak shaving on power grid operation, a coordinated optimal dispatching strategy of "wind-grid-EV charging and swapping station" considering wind power consumption is proposed. Firstly, thermal power is used as an adjustable power supply to assist wind power grid, and through the carbon trading mechanism, the thermal power system is encouraged to actively reduce output and reduce carbon during periods of low grid load and high wind abandonment rate, so as to effectively improve the wind power grid space. Then, on the basis of meeting the power demand of the power grid, the load of the charging and changing power station is connected to further restrain the fluctuation of wind power, and at the same time, the wind power consumption is increased. The objective function is to minimize the peak valley difference of power grid load and optimize the comprehensive operation cost of the system. The low-carbon economic operation model of the joint system is constructed. Finally, the NSGA-Ⅱ algorithm is used to solve and analyze different scenarios. The results show that, this strategy can effectively reduce the system operation cost and the peak valley difference of grid load, and improve the wind power consumption rate of the grid.
Aiming at the problem of weak internal regularity caused by the characteristics of nonlinear and strong fluctuation of load data, a TCN-WOA-BiLSTM-Attention power load short-term prediction model based on Bootstrap error correction was constructed. Temporal convolutional network (TCN) was used to extract temporal features and the contribution of important information to the features was highlighted through the Attention mechanism. The whale optimization algorithm (WOA) was employed to find the optimal bidirectional long short term memory network (BiLSTM) hyperparameters, thus to reduce the negative impact of manual search hyperparameters and then forecast. Based on Bootstrap analysis on error distribution of the prediction interval, the necessity of correcting the prediction result was judged by whether the PICP was lower than the corresponding confidence, and the reasonable correction range was selected. The results show that, the error correction based on the Bootstrap method can avoid the problem of insufficient correction and excessive correction. Compared with the method of correcting the whole error sequence, it is more scientific and improves the prediction accuracy of the model to the greatest extent.
Dual-rotor wind turbine with high-soft tower can break the limits of wind energy utilization of conventional single-wheel wind turbines and improve the efficiency of wind energy utilization in low wind speed areas. The natural frequency of the flexible tower is within the operating speed range of the wind turbine, so there is a speed exclusion zone. Based on the normal operation control of wind turbine, a resonance crossing control algorithm is proposed to prevent the resonance between the wind turbine impeller and the tower during operation. The algorithm finds the resonance interval through Campbell diagram, and adds speed control on the basis of optimal torque control to achieve fast resonance crossing. A large number of simulation tests were carried out on a simple wind turbine model developed on Simulink for steady-state wind and in three scenarios with different turbulence intensities. The simulation results show that the algorithm can achieve fast and effective resonance traversal under all the above conditions.
Aiming at the characteristics of interconnection and multi-source in modern power systems, a heuristic intelligent optimization algorithm is proposed to assist multi-area interconnected power systems with wind, solar, water, thermal storage to optimize load frequency control. This method takes the area control error of each region as the objective function, and uses the advantages of whale intelligent optimization algorithm, such as strong robustness, high solution accuracy and fast convergence speed to jointly optimize the parameters of the PID load frequency controller in each region, so that the system can maintain frequency stability and long-term safe operation under various random disturbances. Finally, a three-area interconnected power system model with wind, solar, water and thermal storage is established to compare the frequency and tie line power deviation of the interconnected power system in different optimization tuning methods, and test the stability of the system in different regions under different disturbances and the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the coordinated optimization tuning method of the multi-area interconnected load frequency controller adopted in this paper effectively improves the stability of the system, and has good robustness and practicality.
This paper studies how to mitigate the blade root flap-wise moment of wind turbine under the influence of wind shear and tower shadow effect. An individual pitch control strategy based on simplex method is proposed to mitigate the blade root flap-wise moment and its 1p component load on the basis of ensuring the power control of the wind turbine. This method and the individual pitch control strategy of conventional PI control are applied to a 4.5 MW wind turbine model, and simulation is carried out under turbulent wind conditions to compare and analyze the blade root flap-wise moment, its power spectral density and the output power. The analysis of the simulation operation data of the 4.5 MW wind turbine model shows that, the individual pitch control strategy based on the simplex method can effectively mitigate the blade root flap-wise moment and its 1p component, and stabilize the output power.
In order to study the influence mechanism of rotor-side converter and its control system on damping characteristics of doubly-fed wind turbine, a dynamic model of the wind turbine under small disturbance state is constructed considering mechanical torque, electromagnetic torque, transient potential, rotor-side converter control, voltage control and angle offset. Then, the damping torque and synchronous torque expressions of the doubly-fed wind turbine are derived based on the complex torque coefficient method. The damping torque is related to the oscillation frequency, wind speed, mechanical parameters, electrical parameters and control system parameters of the wind turbine, and the control parameters of the inner and outer loops of the rotor-side converter are coupled with each other to affect the damping of the wind turbine. Finally, the mathematical model is verified by time domain simulation and frequency domain simulation. The results show that the model has applicability at different oscillation frequencies.
For wind power units, both torque control and pitch control are designed based on generator speed, which leads to the coupling between them near the rated speed, further resulting in rotational speed disturbances. Consequently, conventional torque control will frequently change the control logic according to generator speed, thereby causing the torque and power dips. Besides, two kinds of conventional torque control strategies above the nominal wind, constant-torque and constant-power control, have advantages and disadvantages in torque, power and drive-train loads. In order to eliminate the torque and power dips, full load curve was extended to generator speeds below the rated value. Several state variables, relevant to pitch angle, were selected to reduce the frequency of switching the torque control regions near the rated speed. A new full load curve was designed based on weight programming to comprehensively consider the power and torque performances. The transition curve connecting the optimum Lambda curve and full load curve, was optimized dynamically. Moreover, the proposed control strategy was tested under typical turbulent wind conditions. The simulation results show that, the torque and power dips at above nominal wind are eliminated and the power capture increases at rated wind by using the improved torque control strategy. Furthermore, both torque and power achieves good performance by applying the rational weight.
