Synchronous detection of multiple optical characteristics of atmospheric aerosol by coupled photoacoustic cavity

Owing to the influence of sampling loss,cavity difference and detecting source,the multi-optical parameter measurement of atmospheric aerosol cannot be detected simultaneously in the same reference environment.In order to solve this problem,a new method of simultaneously detecting the aerosol optical parameters by coupling cavity ring-down spectrometer with photoacoustic spectroscopy is proposed.Firstly,the coupled photoacoustic cavity is formed by the organic fusion of the photoacoustic cavity and the ring-down cavity.Secondly,the integrated design of the coupling spectroscopy system is carried out.Finally,the extinction coefficient and absorption coefficient of aerosol are measured simultaneously by the system,and then the aerosol scattering coefficient and single albedo are calculated indirectly.The accuracy of the system is verified by comparing with the data from the environmental quality monitoring station,which provides a new idea for the detection of multi-optical characteristics of atmospheric aerosol.

Virtual Synchronous Generator Based Current Synchronous Detection Scheme for a Virtual Inertia Emulation in SmartGrids

Renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic wind turbines, and wave power converters, use power converters to connect to the grid which causes a loss in rotational inertia. The attempt to meet the increasing energy demand means that the interest for the integration of renewable energy sources in the existing power system is growing, but such integration poses challenges to the operating stability. Power converters play a major role in the evolution of power system towards SmartGrids, by regulating as virtual synchronous generators. The concept of virtual synchronous generators requires an energy storage system with power converters to emulate virtual inertia similar to the dynamics of traditional synchronous generators. In this paper, a dynamic droop control for the estimation of fundamental reference sources is implemented in the control loop of the converter, including active and reactive power components acting as a mechanical input to the virtual synchronous generator and the virtual excitation controller. An inertia coefficient and a droop coefficient are implemented in the control loop. The proposed controller uses a current synchronous detection scheme to emulate a virtual inertia from the virtual synchronous generators. In this study, a wave energy converter as the power source is used and a power management of virtual synchronous generators to control the frequency deviation and the terminal voltage is implemented. The dynamic control scheme based on a current synchronous detection scheme is presented in detail with a power management control. Finally, we carried out numerical simulations and verified the scheme through the experimental results in a microgrid structure.

An Azo-PDMS-based wearable UV sensor with the optimized photo response mode for dual sensing and synchronous detection

A wearable UV sensor is designed to realize UV detection and a warning effect on people’s excessive UV exposure.It is noteworthy that the photoelectric system and supporting material of the most conventional sensor are separated.The unstable connection between the two components and the complicated construction method makes the sensor susceptible to external motion interference and prone to failure.Herein,we developed a unique photo response mode of the UV sensor based on a novel photo responsive material.An azobenzene-containing polydimethylsiloxane(Azo-PDMS)film was prepared as the outer layer of the sensor.It integrated the functions of photo response source,support and protection,which realized the direct contact and rapid response to the UV light source.Carbon nanotube(CNT),wrapped in the middle of Azo-PDMS films as an inner layer,transformed the photomechanical response signal into the photoelectric signal.The photo response mode endows the sensor with excellent anti-motion interference capabilities and a true sense of UV-strain synchronous monitoring performance,which is of great significance to the practical application of wearable devices.In addition,based on the excellent properties of Azo-PDMS,the sensor can also protect the human body from UV damage,self-repair after fracture,and realize personalized customization through 3 D printing.It makes a breakthrough in the design and construction of wearable UV sensors and paves a new way to optimize sensor photo response modes.
