Most fatalities are caused by structural collapse. Earthquakes not only cause severe damage to structures, but can also damage non-structural elements on and inside of facilities. This can halt city life, and disrupt hospitals, airports, bridges, power plants, and other infrastructure. Designers need to use new techniques to protect structures and facilities inside. Isolation, energy dissipation and, control systems are more and more widely used in recent years in China. Currently, there are nearly 6,500 structures with isolation and about 3,000 structures with passive energy dissipation or hybrid control in China. The mitigation techniques are applied to structures like residential buildings, large or complex structures, bridges, underwater tunnels, historical or cultural relic sites, and industrial facilities, and are used for retrofitting of existed structures. This paper introduces design rules and some new and innovative devices for seismic isolation, energy dissipation and hybrid control for civil and industrial structures. This paper also discusses the development trends for seismic resistance, seismic isolation, passive and active control techniques for the future in China and in the world.展开更多

The poly [2- methoxy-5-(2-ethyl)hexoxy-l,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV)/GaN-nanorod hybrid structure is fabricated by depositing the MEH-PPV film on the GaN nanorods by using the spin-coating process. In the hybrid structure, the spatial separation is minimized to achieve high-emciency non-radiative resonant energy transfer. Optical properties of a novel device consisting of MEH-PPV/GaN-nanorod hybrid structure is studied by analyzing photoluminescenee (PL) spectra. Compared with the pure GaN nanorods, the PL intensity of the band edge emission of GaN in the MEH-PPV/GaN-nanorods is enhanced as much as three times, and the intensity of the yellow band is suppressed slightly. The obtained results are analyzed by energy transfer between the GaN nanorods and the MEH-PPV. An energy transfer model is proposed to explain the phenomenon.展开更多

文摘Energy supply is one of the most critical challenges of wireless sensor networks(WSNs)and industrial wireless sensor networks(IWSNs).While research on coverage optimization problem(COP)centers on the network’s monitoring coverage,this research focuses on the power banks’energy supply coverage.The study of 2-D and 3-D spaces is typical in IWSN,with the realistic environment being more complex with obstacles(i.e.,machines).A 3-D surface is the field of interest(FOI)in this work with the established hybrid power bank deployment model for the energy supply COP optimization of IWSN.The hybrid power bank deployment model is highly adaptive and flexible for new or existing plants already using the IWSN system.The model improves the power supply to a more considerable extent with the least number of power bank deployments.The main innovation in this work is the utilization of a more practical surface model with obstacles and training while improving the convergence speed and quality of the heuristic algorithm.An overall probabilistic coverage rate analysis of every point on the FOI is provided,not limiting the scope to target points or areas.Bresenham’s algorithm is extended from 2-D to 3-D surface to enhance the probabilistic covering model for coverage measurement.A dynamic search strategy(DSS)is proposed to modify the artificial bee colony(ABC)and balance the exploration and exploitation ability for better convergence toward eliminating NP-hard deployment problems.Further,the cellular automata(CA)is utilized to enhance the convergence speed.The case study based on two typical FOI in the IWSN shows that the CA scheme effectively speeds up the optimization process.Comparative experiments are conducted on four benchmark functions to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the ABC and gbest-guided ABC(GABC)algorithms.The results show that the proposed energy coverage optimization method based on the hybrid power bank deployment model generates more accurate results than the results obtained by similar algorithms(i.e.,ABC,GABC).The proposed model is,therefore,effective and efficient for optimization in the IWSN.

文摘Various types of energy exist everywhere around us,and these energies can be harvested from multiple sources to power micro-/nanoelectronic system and even personal electronic products.In this work,we proposed a hybrid energy-harvesting system(HEHS)for potential in vivo applications.The HEHS consisted of a triboelectric nanogenerator and a glucose fuel cell for simultaneously harvesting biomechanical energy and biochemical energy in simulated body fluid.These two energy-harvesting units can work individually as a single power source or work simultaneously as an integrated system.This design strengthened the flexibility of harvesting multiple energies and enhanced corresponding electric output.Compared with any individual device,the integrated HEHS outputs a superimposed current and has a faster charging rate.Using the harvested energy,HEHS can power a calculator or a green light-emitting diode pattern.Considering the widely existed biomechanical energy and glucose molecules in the body,the developed HEHS can be a promising candidate for building in vivo self-powered healthcare monitoring system.
文摘China is a country where 100% of the territory is located in a seismic zone. Most of the strong earthquakes are over prediction. Most fatalities are caused by structural collapse. Earthquakes not only cause severe damage to structures, but can also damage non-structural elements on and inside of facilities. This can halt city life, and disrupt hospitals, airports, bridges, power plants, and other infrastructure. Designers need to use new techniques to protect structures and facilities inside. Isolation, energy dissipation and, control systems are more and more widely used in recent years in China. Currently, there are nearly 6,500 structures with isolation and about 3,000 structures with passive energy dissipation or hybrid control in China. The mitigation techniques are applied to structures like residential buildings, large or complex structures, bridges, underwater tunnels, historical or cultural relic sites, and industrial facilities, and are used for retrofitting of existed structures. This paper introduces design rules and some new and innovative devices for seismic isolation, energy dissipation and hybrid control for civil and industrial structures. This paper also discusses the development trends for seismic resistance, seismic isolation, passive and active control techniques for the future in China and in the world.
文摘The performances of a hybrid energy system for decentralized heating are investigated.The proposed energy system consists of a solar collector,an air-source heat pump,a gas-fired boiler and a hot water tank.A mathematical model is developed to predict the operating characteristics of the system.The simulation results are compared with experimental data.Such a comparison indicates that the model accuracy is sufficient.The influence of the flat plate solar collector area on the economic and energy efficiency of such system is also evaluated through numerical simulations.Finally,this system is optimized using the method of orthogonal design.The results clearly demonstrate that the solar-heat pump-gas combined system is more convenient and efficient than the simple gas system and the heat pump-gas combined system,whereas it is less convenient but more efficient than the solarassisted gas system.

文摘With the increasing deployment of renewable energy-based power generation plants,the power system is becoming increasingly vulnerable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy,and a blackout can be the worst scenario.The current auxiliary generators must be upgraded to energy sources with substantially high power and storage capacity,a short response time,good profitability,and minimal environmental concern.Difficulties in the power restoration of renewable energy generators should also be addressed.The different energy storage methods can store and release electrical/thermal/mechanical energy and provide flexibility and stability to the power system.Herein,a review of the use of energy storage methods for black start services is provided,for which little has been discussed in the literature.First,the challenges that impede a stable,environmentally friendly,and cost-effective energy storage-based black start are identified.The energy storagebased black start service may lack supply resilience.Second,the typical energy storage-based black start service,including explanations on its steps and configurations,is introduced.Black start services with different energy storage technologies,including electrochemical,thermal,and electromechanical resources,are compared.Results suggest that hybridization of energy storage technologies should be developed,which mitigates the disadvantages of individual energy storage methods,considering the deployment of energy storage-based black start services.

文摘Distributed collaborative control strategies for microgrids often use periodic time to trigger communication,which is likely to enhance the burden of communication and increase the frequency of controller updates,leading to greater waste of communication resources.In response to this problem,a distributed cooperative control strategy triggered by an adaptive event is proposed.By introducing an adaptive event triggering mechanism in the distributed controller,the triggering parameters are dynamically adjusted so that the distributed controller can communicate only at a certain time,the communication pressure is reduced,and the DC bus voltage deviation is effectively reduced,at the same time,the accuracy of power distribution is improved.The MATLAB/Simulink modeling and simulation results prove the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

文摘A novel parallel hybrid electrical urban bus (PHEUB) configuration consisting of an extra one-way clutch and an automatic mechanical transmission (AMT) is taken as the study subject. An energy management strategy combining a logic threshold approach and an instantaneous optimization algorithm is proposed for the investigated PHEUB. The objective of the energy management strategy is to achieve acceptable vehicle performance and drivability requirements while simultaneously maximizing the engine fuel consumption and maintaining the battery state of charge in its operation range at all times. Under the environment of Matlab/Simulink, a computer simulation model for the PHEUB is constructed by using the model building method combining theoretical analysis and bench test data. Simulation and experiment results for China Typical Bus Driving Schedule at Urban District (CTBDS_UD) are obtained, and the results indicate that the proposed control strategy not only controls the hybrid system efficiently but also improves the fuel economy significantly.

文摘Hybrid energy harvesters under external excitation have complex dynamical behavior and the superiority of promoting energy harvesting efficiency.Sometimes,it is difficult to model the governing equations of the hybrid energy harvesting system precisely,especially under external excitation.Accompanied with machine learning,data-driven methods play an important role in discovering the governing equations from massive datasets.Recently,there are many studies of datadriven models done in aspect of ordinary differential equations and stochastic differential equations(SDEs).However,few studies discover the governing equations for the hybrid energy harvesting system under harmonic excitation and Gaussian white noise(GWN).Thus,in this paper,a data-driven approach,with least square and sparse constraint,is devised to discover the governing equations of the systems from observed data.Firstly,the algorithm processing and pseudo code are given.Then,the effectiveness and accuracy of the method are verified by taking two examples with harmonic excitation and GWN,respectively.For harmonic excitation,all coefficients of the system can be simultaneously learned.For GWN,we approximate the drift term and diffusion term by using the Kramers-Moyal formulas,and separately learn the coefficients of the drift term and diffusion term.Cross-validation(CV)and mean-square error(MSE)are utilized to obtain the optimal number of iterations.Finally,the comparisons between true values and learned values are depicted to demonstrate that the approach is well utilized to obtain the governing equations for the hybrid energy harvester under harmonic excitation and GWN.

文摘GaN nanorods are fabricated using inductively coupled plasma etching with Ni nano-island masks. The poly [2- methoxy-5-(2-ethyl)hexoxy-l,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV)/GaN-nanorod hybrid structure is fabricated by depositing the MEH-PPV film on the GaN nanorods by using the spin-coating process. In the hybrid structure, the spatial separation is minimized to achieve high-emciency non-radiative resonant energy transfer. Optical properties of a novel device consisting of MEH-PPV/GaN-nanorod hybrid structure is studied by analyzing photoluminescenee (PL) spectra. Compared with the pure GaN nanorods, the PL intensity of the band edge emission of GaN in the MEH-PPV/GaN-nanorods is enhanced as much as three times, and the intensity of the yellow band is suppressed slightly. The obtained results are analyzed by energy transfer between the GaN nanorods and the MEH-PPV. An energy transfer model is proposed to explain the phenomenon.

文摘We show that a current-carrying coherent electron conductor can be treated as an effective bosonic energy reservoir involving different types of electron–hole pair excitations.For weak electron–boson coupling,hybrid energy transport between nonequilibrium electrons and bosons can be described by a Landauer-like formula.This allows for unified account of a variety of heat transport problems in hybrid electron–boson systems.As applications,we study the non-reciprocal heat transport between electrons and bosons,thermoelectric current from a cold-spot,and electronic cooling of the bosons.Our unified framework provides an intuitive way of understanding hybrid energy transport between electrons and bosons in their weak coupling limit.It opens the way of nonequilibrium reservoir engineering for efficient energy control between different quasi-particles at the nanoscale.

文摘In this paper,the hybrid photovoltaic-thermoelectric generator(PVTEG)combined dynamic voltage restorer(DVR)system is proposed for the power quality disturbances compensation in a single-phase distribution system.The stable and precise level of input voltage is essential for the smooth and trouble-free operation of the electrically sensitive loads which are connected at the utility side to avoid system malfunctions.In this context,the hybrid PV-TEG energy module combined DVR system is proposed in this paper.With the support of the hybrid energy module,the DVR will perform the power quality disturbances compensation effectively with needed voltage and/or power.In the proposed system,the PV and TEG energy sources are connected electrically in series to produce adequate voltage for the DVR operation and the fractional factor-based variable incremental conduction(FFVINC)maximum power point tracking(MPPT)control algorithm is employed to extract the possible maximum power from the PV array.The intelligent fuzzy logic controller(FLC)is chosen for implementing the MPPT control algorithm.The half-bridge voltage source inverter(VSI)circuit and in-phase voltage compensation technique are used in the DVR for better power quality disturbances compensation.The performance and usefulness of the proposed DVR system are investigated by an extensive simulation study with four different modes of operation,the study results are confirmed that the proposed system promptly identifies the power quality disturbances for compensation.Moreover,the investigation proved that the combined PV and TEG energy module can provide better energy efficiency in converting solar irradiation into electricity.
