Time-domain Differential Protection Based on Operating and Restraining Trajectory Indices for Lines Connecting Battery Storage Energy Stations

Battery energy storage stations(BESSs)pose sever-al challenges for both phasor-based differential protection and the newly-proposed time-domain differential protection.These challenges include low sensitivity and even rejection.Besides,the negative impact of various nonideal conditions,including current transformer(CT)saturation,errors,and outliers,on the security of differential protection remains an important problem.Motivated by the aforementioned issues,this study ac-counts for the trajectory distribution discrepancy on Cartesian plane under various conditions and proposes a time-domain dif-ferential protection method.In this paper,the trajectory formed by operating and restraining current samples is devel-oped.Subsequently,after considering different operating states,the fault severity levels,and nonideal conditions,the variances in trajectory distribution between internal and external faults are extensively analyzed.On this basis,the Cartesian plane is divided into operating,uncertainty,and restraining zones.Fur-ther,the operating and restraining trajectory indices are meticu-lously designed and a protection criterion based on these indi-ces is formed to accurately separate internal faults from other events,unaffected by CT saturation,errors,and outliers.The exceptional performance of the proposed protection method is extensively validated through PSCAD simulations and a hard-ware-in-the-loop testing platform.Regarding the dependability,sensitivity,and security,the proposed protection method outper-forms three state-of-the-art differential protection methods.

A LOOP DRAWBEAD RESTRAINING FORCE MODEL IN SHEET METAL DEEP DRAWING PROCESS

In sheet metal forming, drawbeads are often used to control uneven material flow which may cause defects such as wrinkles, fracture, surface distortion and springback. Appropriate setting and adjusting the drawbead force is one of the most important pa- rameters in sheet metal forming process control. This paper derives the model of loop drawbead restraining force (DBRF) using plastic forming theory, and gives the min imum blankholding force. Experiments are carried out to verify the proposed DBRF model. The good agreement between the calculated values and experiments data justi- fies the proposed loop drawbead restraining force model.

The experimental results were compared with numerical results and proved agreement. It shows the method is effective.

Chemical composition and free radicals restraining activity of extracts from three Manglietia species leaves

The extracts from leaves of Manglietia insignis （Wall） Blume, Manglietia chingii Dandy and Manglietia yuyuanensis Law were prepared by organic solvent extraction and their components were analyzed by GC/MS and quantified. Meanwhile, the free radicals restraining activities were detected. The 21 compounds in M. insignis, 36 compounds in M. chigii and 20 compounds in M. yuyuanensis were identified. There were 11 common components in the extracts from three Manglietia species, and 12 components in two Manglietia species. The results of relative contents of every component in three extracts showed that the main constituents of M. insignis were terpenoids and alkene, amounting to 38.93%, followed by alkane （28.18%）, the nitrogen containing compounds （15.73%） and aromatic compounds （7.23 %）. The main constituents of leaf extract from M. chingii were the terpenoids and alkene, carboxylic acid, alkane and aromatic compounds, amounting to 30.22%, 14.17%, 13.87% and 13.29%, respectively, The main constituents of M. yuyuanensis were alcohol compounds, the terpenoids and alkene, and aromatic compounds, amounting to 28.00%, 25.38% and 18.00% respectively. The results showed that the three extracts had strong function of restraining oxygen free radicals. The ultra oxygen anions activity was restrained at the highest level, when the three extracts were diluted by hundred-fold, whereas the restraining capacity of hydroxyl free radicals reached maximum, when the three extracts were diluted by twenty-fold. The above results provide scientific evidences for further approaching the ecological healthy function of three MangUetia species

Based on the built mathematical model of the flexible arm, the equations of vibration with acceleration,vibration frequency,damping and time are obtained theoretically.According to the vibration frequency and damping, the suitable acceleration is executed experimentally to the flexible arm at the corresponding time. The result shows that this way can give rise to good effect to restrain the residual vibration.

Restraining NO_x Formation during Coal Combustion in Packed Bed

The effects of various combustion conditions (i. e. particle size of coals, oxygen concentration in combustion gas and coal content in the fuel bed, etc.), on reducing conversion of NO_x during coal combustion were studied. Under the present combustion conditions, coals with smaller particle size gave the lower conversion of NO_x, and as expected that an decrease in overall stoichiometric ratio, whether by an decrease in O_2 content in combustion gas or by an increase in coal content in fuel bed would lead to a lower conversion of NO_x. In order to investigate the effect of metallic oxide layers on restraining NO_x formation, the combustion experiments for coal granules with adhering layer of various metallic oxides including Fe_2O_3, Ni_2O_3 and mixed oxides Fe-Ni-O_x were conducted in a packed bed combustor. The combustion experiments have shown that most of adhering materials gave considerable effect on reduction of NO_x emission during coal combustion.

Expansive Behaviors of Self-stressing Concrete under Different Restraining Conditions

The expansive behaviors of the expensive concrete under different restraining conditions were systemically studied. The experimental results indicate that expansive deformation obviously increases before 10 days and tends to be constant after 25 days regardless of the restraining conditions. The mixture ratio of expansive cement and restraining conditions are the main factors affecting expansive deformation. Self-stress can be obtained when the expansive deformation is restrained. The higher self-stress could be obtained when the expensive concrete is restrained by steel tube. For specimens under steel tube restraining, the wall thickness and the length of the steel tube have important influence on self-stress. Both the radial self-stress and axial self-stress in concrete core increase when wall thickness or length of the steel tube increases.

Metabolic restraining of epigenetic modifications promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation

The metabolic state of a cell is closely related to its structure and function in adult mammalian cardiomyocytes.These adult cardiomyocytes primarily use fatty acids as an energy substrate to support heart contraction.Recently,Li and his colleagues reported that inhibiting fatty acid oxidation in cardiomyocytes keeps them in an immature state.This influences epigenomic modifications and ultimately increases the proliferation capacity of the cardiomyocytes.

Underestimated Methane Emissions from Solid Waste Disposal Sites Reveal Missed Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Opportunities

1.Introduction Cities are responsible for approximately 70%of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions and about 60%of all anthropogenic methane(CH4)emissions[1,2].Solid waste disposal sites(including landfills and dumpsites),which are prevalent in global cities,emit CH4 generated from the anaerobic biodegradation of municipal solid waste(MSW).Notably,the proportions of CH4 emissions from disposal sites surpass 50%of the total CH4 emissions in some megalopolises[3].CH4 has a high global warming potential(GWP),being 28 times stronger than carbon dioxide(CO_(2))over a 100-year period and 80 times stronger over a 20-year period[4].Understanding and mitigating CH4 emissions from solid waste disposal sites is particularly pertinent and pressing,considering that the latest Synthesis Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)emphasizes that the current pace of mitigation and adaptation policies and measures falls short of restraining global temperature rise to under 1.5℃ within the 21st century[4].More than 150 countries signed the Global Methane Pledge at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow(COP26),which aims to reduce global annual CH4 emissions by 30%by 2030,compared with emissions in 2020[5].

用于抵抗扭转采取边缘弹性约束下的单轴压缩下板材极限强度:一种新的综合方法

The ultimate strength of platings under compression is one of the most important factors to be addressed in the ship design.Current Rules for ship structural design generally provide explicit strength check criteria against buckling for simply supported and clamped platings.Nevertheless,ship platings generally exhibit an intermediate behaviour between the simple support and the clamped conditions,which implies that the torsional stiffness of supporting members should be duly considered.Hence,the main aim of this study is the development of new design formulas for the ultimate strength of platings under uniaxial compression,with short and/or long edges elastically restrained against torsion.In this respect,two benchmark studies are performed.The former is devoted to the development of new equations for the elastic buckling coefficients of platings with edges elastically restrained against torsion,based on the results of the eigenvalue buckling analysis,performed by Ansys Mechanical APDL.The latter investigates the ultimate strength of platings with elastically restrained edges,by systematically varying the plate slenderness ratio and the torsional stiffness of supporting members.Finally,the effectiveness of the new formulation is checked against a wide number of finite element(FE)simulations,to cover the entire design space of ship platings.

Characterization of the accommodation zones along restraining and releasing bends from analogue modelling simulating the seagap fault,off-shore Tanzania

The study aims to understand geometry and evolution of accommodation zones along restraining and releasing bends in strike slip systems which is often complex and characterized by sharp change in polarity,resulting in a difficult characterization of traps location.A batch of sandbox modelling experiments was performed using a layered scaled sand material.The setup parameters of the wooden baseplates used in the first two experiments(SS1 and SS2)are basement offset of 6.5 cm/3 cm,90
/90
stepovers in releasing and restraining bends of total 96 cm length and 25 cm width.The third experiment(SS3)was performed with basement offset of 6.5 cm/3 cm,156
/126
stepovers in releasing and restraining bends of total 96 cm length and 25 cm width.The experiments were performed with special attention to the role of syn-kinematic sedimentation and the pre-existing structure of the basement.A sequence of pop-up and pull-apart structures was produced.Along the main structures,complex fault trend was compatible with a sinistral riedel distribution and a counterclockwise rotation of pre-existent elements.Change of fault's polarity at depth and dip direction flipping of high angle faults in accommodation zones were clearly observed.Even more,progressive propagation of the pop-up structures produces a spectacular inversion of adjacent extensional structures.Comparing results of the model with the Seagap fault zone,it is possible to put in evidence similar fault orientation and distribution.Internal structures developed were strongly influenced by syn-kinematic sedimentation as observed by characteristic helicoidal shape of growth faults.The analogue models clearly describe how boundary faults of the pull-apart basin along a paired bend,initially characterized by a normal kinematic can be subsequently inverted in the later stages,which can potentially have a strong impact on the petroleum system.

Differential tectonic evolution and formation mechanism of three subsags in Wenchang Sag of Pearl River Mouth Basin,South China Sea

Notable differences in the structural characteristics and evolution of three adjacent sub-sags,i.e.,the Wenchang sub-sags A,B,and C,on the downthrown side of the Zhu IlI South Fault in the Wenchang Sag,are significant as they affect the formation and distribution of the oil and gas in these three sub-sags.However,the differences in their tectonic evolutions and formation mechanisms have not yet been adequately explained.In this paper,stress analysis,equilibrium profiles,and paleogeomorphic restora-tion,are used to investigate the dynamic settings,formation mechanisms,and influencing factors of the structural deformation related to the formation of the Wenchang Sag based on interpretation of seismic data.The results of the stress analysis suggest clockwise deflection of the regional tensile stress direction from a WNW-ESE trend during the Early Paleocene to NW-SE and NNW-SSE trends during the Eocene,to a nearly N-S trend during the Oligocene,and finally to a NNE-SSW trend during the Miocene.This clockwise rotation of the regional tensile stress direction led to the formation of a dextral strike-slip stress component parallel to the NE-trending Zhu I South Fault.This strike-slip stress component formed a releasing bend in sub-sag A,and may be associated with the continuous subsidence of a thick sedimentary layer in sub-sag A.It also created a restraining bend in sub-sag B,which underwent multiple structural inversions during its extension and subsidence and has a relatively s mall sedimentary thick-ness.The double restraining bend in sub-sag C is considered to have been strongly uplifted and eroded in response to this strike-slip stress component.Four obvious structural inversions in sub-sag B are iden-tified in this paper.These structural inversions correspond to the last four regional tectonic movements.This interpretation suggests that the formation of the structural inversions was likely related to the strong tensile stress and the small intersection angle between the direction of the regional tensile stress and the pre-existing boundary fault.The rotation of the tensile stress direction was responsible for the strike-slip movement on the pre-existing boundary fault and the formation of the releasing bend and restraining bend,which controlled the structural evolutions of the sub-sags.This reasonably explains the differential tectonic evolution of these three sub-sags in the Wenchang Sag,and provides a crucial idea forstructuralanalysisof similarbasins.

Analytical solutions for the restraint effect of isolation piles against tunneling-induced vertical ground displacements

This paper presents a simplified elastic continuum method for calculating the restraint effect of isolation piles on tunneling-induced vertical ground displacement,which can consider not only the relative sliding of the pile‒soil interface but also the pile rowesoil interaction.The proposed method is verified by comparisons with existing theoretical methods,including the boundary element method and the elastic foundation method.The results reveal the restraining mechanism of the isolation piles on vertical ground displacements due to tunneling,i.e.the positive and negative restraint effects exerted by the isolation piles jointly drive the ground vertical displacement along the depth direction from the original tunneling-induced nonlinear variation situation to a relatively uniform situation.The results also indicate that the stiffness of the pile‒soil interface,including the pile shaft‒surrounding soil interface and pile tip-supporting soil interface,describes the strength of the pile‒soil interaction.The pile rows can confine the vertical ground displacement caused by the tunnel excavation to the inner side of the isolation piles and effectively prevent the vertical ground displacement from expanding further toward the outer side of the isolation piles.

Macrophage fumarate hydratase restrains mtRNA-mediated interferon production

Metabolic rewiring underlies the effector functions of macrophages1-3,but the mechanisms involved remain incompletely defined.Here,using unbiased metabolomics and stable isotope-assisted tracing,we show that an inflammatory aspartate argininosuccinate shunt is induced following lipopolysaccharide stimulation.The shunt,supported by increased argininosuccinate synthase(ASS1)expression,also leads to increased cytosolic fumarate levels and fumarate-mediated protein succination.Pharmacological inhibition and genetic ablation of the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase(FH)further increases intracellular fumarate levels.

Effects of connection types and elevated temperature on the impact behaviour of restrained beam in portal steel frame

Based on the background of structural protection and Disaster Reduction Engineering, the dynamic behaviour and failure mechanism of restrained beams in portal steel frames in localised fire are investigated via experimental measurement and numerical simulation techniques. Comprehensive parametric studies are carried out to discuss the influence of end connection types, temperature, impact velocity,impact mass and span-to-depth ratio(SDR) on the dynamic response of the beams. The characteristics of deformation, internal force and energy distribution about the restrained beams and its joints are investigated. A temperature dependent criterion for evaluating the frame joint performance is proposed to measure the degree of performance degradation and impact resistance of the joint. The dynamic displacement amplification factor in different temperature environments are proposed for the different beam end constraint types and SDRs. Results of the experimental and numerical analysis show that the welded connection(WC) of three typical joint types is the strongest, and the extended endplate connection(EEC) is the weakest in terms of the impact resistance performance. With regard to the failure mode of the joint, the failure positions of the WC and the welded-bolted connection are located in the inner web of the column. Meanwhile, the EEC is located in the connection position between the beam and the endplate. Three different internal force stages and two obvious critical temperature boundaries of the restrained beams emerge with the increase in temperature, and they have significant characteristics in terms of deformation trend, internal force transfer and energy distribution. During the impact, a phenomenon known as “compression arch action” develops into “catenary action” with the increase in deflection in the frame beam mechanism.
