Influence of optical interference and carrier lifetime on the short circuit current density of organic bulk heterojunction solar cells

Based on simple analytical equations, short circuit current density （Jsc） of the organic bulk heterojunction solar cells has been calculated. It is found that the optical interference effect plays a very important role in the determination of Jsc; and obvious oscillatory behaviour of Jsc was observed as a function of thickness. At the same time, the influence of the carrier lifetime on Jsc also cannot be neglected. When the carrier lifetime is relatively short, Jsc only increases at the initial stage and then decreases rapidly with the increase of active layer thickness. However, for a relatively long carrier lifetime, the exciton dissociation probability must be considered, and Jsc behaves wave-like with the increase of active layer thickness. The validity of this model is confirmed by the experimental results.

Analysis of Short-circuit Characteristics and Calculation of Steady-state Short-circuit Current for DFIG Wind Turbine

Large-scale doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG)wind turbines are connected to the grid and required to remain grid-connection during faults,the short-circuit current contributed by the generation has become a significant issue.However,the traditional calculation methods aiming at synchronous generators cannot be directly applied to the DFIG wind turbines.A new method is needed to calculate the short-circuit current required by the planning,protection and control of the power grid.The short-circuit transition of DFIG under symmetrical and asymmetric short-circuit conditions are mathematically deduced,and the short-circuit characteristics of DFIG are analyzed.A new method is proposed to calculate the steady-state short-circuit current of DFIG based on the derived expressions.The time-domain simulations are conducted to verify the accuracy of the proposed method.

Study on Short Circuit Current Calculation of Power System with UHVDC and New Energy Source

With the development of power system, the level of short circuit current will increase accordingly. In general, the influence of the HVDC system and the new energy source is not considered in the calculation of the short circuit current. For the power grid that short circuit current level closes to the interrupting capacity of circuit breaker, it’s necessary to fully consider all kinds of influence factors, careful checking, so as to obtain more accurate calculation results of short circuit current. In 2018, two ±800 kV high-power Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission projects will be connected with Shaanxi power grid, accompanied by a lot of concomitant fossil-fuel generating plants as power resource, and also a large number of new energy source, includes wind power generation and photovoltaic power generation. Around one of the UHVDC converter stations, short circuit current may exceed the withstand limit of some certain circuit breakers. In order to get more accurate short circuit current calculation results, three measures are used: 1) contrastive calculation and analysis by algorithm based on schemes and algorithm based on power flow;2) analysis the influence of UHVDC by electromagnetic transient and electromechanical transient hybrid simulation;3) considered a detailed model of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) with low voltage ride through characteristics. The calculation results shows that: in the typical operation mode of Shaanxi power grid of 2018, the original calculation results by conventional calculation method are coincident with the results by considering the influence of algorithms, UHVDC and DFIG in large, in which: the results of the algorithm based on power flow are smaller than that of the algorithm based on schemes about 2 - 8 kA;the steady values of the short circuit current provided by UHVDC converterstation (includes rectifiers and smoothing capacitors) are about 0 - 3 kA;the steady values of the short circuit current provided by DFIG are about 0 - 5 kA. The calculation results can provide reference for the selection of the circuit breaker, and it can be verified by fault recording data in the future.

Study on Effect of UHV Power Grid Construction Schemes on Short Circuit Current

The commissioning of Southern Hami-Zhengzhou ±800 kV UHVDC transmission project has important significance to heighten operation reliability, transfer capability and supply electric ability of Henan power grid. However, short circuit currents of 500 kV buses in the Center of Henan are almost close to the operation upper limitation. In order to decrease the short circuit currents effectively, it’s necessary to strengthen the network structure of Center of Henan power grid and calculate short circuit currents. Two schemes of strengthening the network structure of Center of Henan power grid are studied. The calculated values of short circuit currents of some important 500 kV buses in the two schemes are still bigger than excepted. According to the latest Plan of State Grid, Yubei UHV substation and Zhumadian UHV substation located in Henan power grid. The calculated values of short circuit currents of some important 500 kV buses with the commissioning of Yubei UHV and Zhumadian UHV are qualified. So, reasonable network structure with UHV is suitable to heighten transfer capability and supply electric ability of Henan power grid.

An Adaptive Slope Compensation Circuit for Peak Current Mode of Boost Switching Power Supply

Based on the analysis of the basic principle of slope compensation, a high-precision adaptive slope compensation circuit for peak current mode boost DC/DC converter is designed. The circuit dynamically detects the input and output voltage of the boost circuit to realize automatic adjustment of the compensation amount with the change of duty ratio, which makes the ramp compensation slope optimized. The design uses a high-precision subtracter to improve the accuracy of slope compensation. While eliminating sub-slope oscillation and improving the stability of boost circuit, the negative impact of compensation on boost circuit is minimized, and the load capacity and transient response speed of boost circuit are guaranteed. The circuit is designed based on SMIC 0.18um CMOS technology, with simple structure, high reliability and easy engineering implementation. Spectre circuit simulator 17.1.0.124 64b simulation results show that the circuit has high compensation accuracy and wide input and output voltage range. When the working voltage is 3.3 V, the compensation slope can be adjusted adaptively under different duty cycles, and the minimum error between the compensation slope and the theoretical optimal compensation slope is only 0.42%.

Transmission network expansion planning with embedded constraints of short circuit currents and N-1 security

An approach of transmission network expan-sion planning with embedded constraints of short circuit currents and N-1 security is proposed in this paper.The problem brought on by the strong nonlinearity property of short circuit currents is solved with a linearization method based on the DC power flow.The model can be converted to a mixed-integer linear programming problem,realizing the optimization of planning model that considers the constraints of linearized short circuit currents and N-1 security.To compensate the error caused by the assump-tions of DC power flow,the compensation factor is pro-posed.With this factor,an iterative algorithm that can compensate the linearization error is then presented.The case study based on the IEEE 118-bus system shows that the proposed model and approach can be utilized to:opti-mize the construction strategy of transmission lines;ensure the N-1 security of the network;and effectively limit the short circuit currents of the system.

Influence of band gap of p-type hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon layer on the short-circuit current density in thin-film silicon solar cells

The impact of the optical band gap（Eg） of a p-type hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon layer on the short-circuit current density（Jsc） of a thin-film silicon solar cell is assessed. We have found that the Jsc reaches maximum when the Eg reaches optimum. The reason for the Jsc on Eg needs to be clarified. Our results exhibit that maximum Jsc is the balance between dark current and photocurrent. We show here that this dark current results from the density of defects in the p-layer and the barrier at the interface between p-and i-layers. An optimum cell can be designed by optimizing the p-layer via reducing the density of defects in the p-layer and the barrier at the p/i interface. Finally, a 6.6% increase in Jsc was obtained at optimum Eg for n-i-p solar cells.

A Preliminary Study of The Short Circuit Current(I_(sc)) Responses of Endometria from Estrum and Bilateral Ovariectomy Female Rats

Objective To investigate the property of the endometrium ion transport in the normal estruation and ovariectomize rats. Methods The basic electrophysiological property of the endometrium was carried out by mean of the short circuit current （Isc） recording with the rats. Results The baseline Lsc and the transepithelial resistance （Rte） were different between the estruation and ovariectomized groups. Apical application of Na＋ channel blocker, amiloride （10 μmol/L）, or CFTR Cl- channel agonist, forskolin （10 μmol/L） did not significantly affect the Lc in the two groups. However, the 1sc in the model group was more sensitive to the CFTR Cl- channel blocker （glibenclamide, 1 mmol/L, apical） decreased about 27.0% （P〈0.05, n=6）, no remarkably changes in the estruation rats. While apical application CA CC CI-channel blocker, DIDS （4, 4 ＇-diisothiocyanostilbene- 2,2 ＇-disulfonic, 100 μmol/L）, the Isc was much more sensitive, percentage almost to 36.52% （P〈0.01） in the model group than that in the control Furthermore, basolateral application of bumetanide （100μmol/L）, a blocker of Na＋-K＋-2Cl- cotransport, didn＇t significantly reduce the Lc in the two groups. Conclusion The baseline Lsc and membrane resistance in the ovariectomize group is much higher than that in the normal estruation group, and the endometrial epithelium CI- secretion may be mediated by predominantly calcium-dependent CI- channels （CACC） and activating adenylate cyclase and apical cAMP-dependent Cl- channels （CFTR） in the model group with minor contributions in the control. Furthermore, the endometrial epithelium responses to different stimulants exists difference in the control and model group a likely mechanism for the ovary hormone.

Fault Current Identification of DC Traction Feeder Based on Optimized VMD and Sample Entropy

A current identification method based on optimized variational mode decomposition(VMD)and sample entropy(SampEn)is proposed in order to solve the problem that the main protection of the urban rail transit DC feeder cannot distinguish between train charging current and remote short circuit current.This method uses the principle of energy difference to optimize the optimal mode decomposition number k of VMD;the optimal VMD for DC feeder current is decomposed into the intrinsic modal function(IMF)of different frequency bands.The sample entropy algorithm is used to perform feature extraction of each IMF,and then the eigenvalues of the intrinsic modal function of each frequency band of the current signal can be obtained.The recognition feature vector is input into the support vector machine model based on Bayesian hyperparameter optimization for training.After a large number of experimental data are verified,it is found that the optimal VMD_SampEn algorithm to identify the train charging current and remote short circuit current is more accurate than other algorithms.Thus,the algorithm based on optimized VMD_SampEn has certain engineering application value in the fault current identification of the DC traction feeder.

In this paper, based on the equivalent single diode circuit model of the solar cell, an equivalent circuit diagram for two serial solar cells is drawn. Its equations of current and voltage are derived from Kirchhoff＇s current and voltage law.

We find that these parameters have different influences on the internal currents of solar cells. Our results will provide a reference for developing higher efficiency solar cell module and contribute to the better understanding of the reason of efficiency loss of solar cell module.

The crowbar circuit consists of a computer control circuit, a trigger voltage pulse generator, a main discharging switch, and a crowbar pseudospark switch. The active trigger technology was studied in the crowbar impulse current circuit. The circuit monitors the main discharging current and generates a trigger signal at a proper time for the crowbar pseudospark switch operation.
