Credibility and Security of Weighing System for Large Structure Object

The weighing system designed for large structure object is mainly composed of three parts. The part of hydraulic system is made up of hydraulic cylinders, high pressure hydraulic hoses and electric pumps; the part of computer controlling system comprises pressure sensors, displacement sensors, data acquisitions, RS 485 network and the computer controlling model; the part of loading system is composed of the fulcrum structure and the concrete girder. The measurement principle and composition of the weighing system are discussed in this paper. Credibility and security of the weighing system are fully considered during the design phase. The hydraulic system is controlled by pilot operated check valves in case of the sudden loss of system pressure. The states of all gauges and RS485 network are monitored by computer controlling system functioning in different modules. When the system is running incorrectly, it will be switched to manual mode and give alarm. The finite element method is employed to analyze fulcrum structure so that the system has enough intensity to be lifted. Hence the reliability of the whole system is enhanced.

Secure Transmission for NOMA Systems with Imperfect SIC

This paper investigates secure transmission for non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)systems where the imperfect successive interference cancellation(SIC)is considered at both legitimate users and eavesdropper(Eve).A power allocation scheme is designed for the legitimate users to mitigate the effect of the SIC error caused by imperfect SIC.For characterizing the secrecy performance of the NOMA system,the closed-form expressions for connection outage probability(COP),secrecy outage probability(SOP),and effective secrecy throughput(EST)are derived over Nakagami-m fading channels in both NOMA and benchmark orthogonal multiple access(OMA)systems.We also provide security and reliability trade-off results(SRT)for the users in the NOMA and OMA systems.Simulation results verify our analysis and show that the strong users achieve better secrecy performance but worse reliability performance and NOMA outperforms OMA in terms of SRT.

Key Optimization Issues for Renewable Energy Systems under Carbon-Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Targets:Current States and Perspectives

1 Introduction The United States,Japan,Canada,the European Union,and other developed countries and regions have all formulated climate strategies and pledged to achieve net-zero CO_(2) emissions by 2050.China,meanwhile,has announced through the“carbon-peaking and carbon neutrality targets”in September 2020 that it aims to achieve“peak carbon use”by 2030 and“carbon neutrality”by 2060[1].According to statistical data from the International Energy Agency(IEA),Fig.1 illustrates the carbon intensity of electricity generation in various regions in the Announced Pledge Scenario(APS)from 2010 to 2040[2].One can easily observe that each region aims to accomplish a sharp decrease in the carbon intensity of electricity generation after 2020.

A review on simulation models of cascading failures in power systems

Among various power system disturbances,cascading failures are considered the most serious and extreme threats to grid operations,potentially leading to significant stability issues or even widespread power blackouts.Simulating power systems’behaviors during cascading failures is of great importance to comprehend how failures originate and propagate,as well as to develop effective preventive and mitigative control strategies.The intricate mechanism of cascading failures,characterized by multi-timescale dynamics,presents exceptional challenges for their simulations.This paper provides a comprehensive review of simulation models for cascading failures,providing a systematic categorization and a comparison of these models.The challenges and potential research directions for the future are also discussed.
