For the parallel inverter system without output isolation transformers, the difference of DC components of the output voltage can cause large DC loop-current among modular inverters. Aiming at this problem, this paper studies several DC loop-current detecting and restraining methods. By digital adjustment with high precision on the DC components of reference sine wave, the DC components of inverter′s output voltage can be adjusted to restrain DC loop-current. Experimental results prove that the DC loop-current detecting and restraining methods have a good performance.展开更多

In this paper, the impacts of climate change on the hydrological cycle were analyzed for the Hai River Basin, a semi-humid and semi-arid basin and also the water receiving area of the middle route of South-to-North Water Diversion project. Meanwhile it is the most vulnerable to climate change. Firstly, the linear regression and Mann-Kendall non-parametric test methods were used to analyze the change characteristics of the hydrological and meteorological elements for the period from 1960 to 2009. The results show a significant increase in temperature, while precipitation decreases slightly, and runoff decreases drastically over the past 50 years. Secondly, the applicability of SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model based on the DEM (Digital Elevation Model), land use and soil type was verified in the basin. Results show the model performs well in this basin. Furthermore, the water balance model, Fu's theory and Koichiro's theory were used to calculate the actual evaporation, comparing to the simulated actual evaporation by SWAT model to validate the result for the lack of large-scale observed evaporation datasets. Possible reasons were also analyzed to explore the reasonable factor for the decline of the runoff. Finally the precipitation, temperature, runoff and evaporation response processes based on the IPCC AR4 multi-mode climate models and the verified SWAT model under different GHG emission scenarios (SRES-A2, AIB and B1) in the 21st century were discussed in three time periods: 2020s (2011-2040), 20S0s (2041-2070), 2080s (2071-2099). Results show that there are systematic positive trends for precipitation and temperature while the trends for runoff and evaporation will differ among sub-areas. The results will offer some references for adaptive water management in a changing environment, also including adaptation of a cross-basin water transfer project.展开更多

The recent global economic turmoil is threatening the tourism industry; at the same time, global experts claim that tourism may be a key to overcoming economic difficulties and play a vital role in the green new deal. The purpose of the study is to introduce a new strategic option that has become increasingly attractive for troubled businesses-barter. While the study focuses on the advantages of this concept's recent refinements for South Africa's tourism and travel industry, its findings are also applicable to other countries. A survey of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) from Europe and Turkey, as well as graduate students at an Israeli university, demonstrate the gap between familiarity with barter processes and their advantages and the actual scale of barter transactions in the supply chain, in order to enhance the economic performance of their tourism enterprises as well as the entire economy, providing evidence for the potential of adapting old proven concepts to the modem digital world.展开更多
