Variable damping forces caused by electromagnetic energy harvesting with an adjustable load

A novel variable damper using an adjustable energy harvesting structure is proposed for semi-active vibration systems. The fluid flowing in a hydraulic cylinder is employed to drive an electromagnetic generator for harvesting vibration energy, which on the other hand, leads to a damping effect of the hydraulic damper. To make the damping force variable, an adjustable resistor is adopted to tune the capability of energy harvesting. The present approach is validated by both theoretical analysis and experimental evaluation. When connected with different resistance loads, the prototype damper has different equivalent damping coefficients ranging from 3. 987 × 104 to 2. 488 × 105 N· s/m. The results show that the damping force of the damper is variable in response to the adjustable load for the vibration energy harvesting.

A method for real power transfer allocation using multivariable regression analysis

A multivariable regression(MVR) approach is proposed to identify the real power transfer between generators and loads.Based on solved load flow results,it first uses modified nodal equation method(MNE) to determine real power contribution from each generator to loads.Then,the results of MNE method and load flow information are utilized to determine suitable regression coefficients using MVR model to estimate the power transfer.The 25-bus equivalent system of south Malaysia is utilized as a test system to illustrate the effectiveness of the MVR output compared to that of the MNE method.The error of the estimate of MVR method ranges from 0.001 4 to 0.007 9.Furthermore,when compared to MNE method,MVR method computes generator contribution to loads within 26.40 ms whereas the MNE method takes 360 ms for the calculation of same real power transfer allocation.Therefore,MVR method is more suitable for real time power transfer allocation.

Novel grey forecast model and its application

The advancement of grey system theory provides an effective analytic tool for power system load fore-cast. All kinds of presently available grey forecast models can be well used to deal with the short-term load fore-cast. However, they make big errors for medium or long-term load forecasts, and the load that does not satisfythe approximate exponential increasing law in particular. A novel grey forecast model that is capable of distin-guishing the increasing law of load is adopted to forecast electric power consumption (EPC) of Shanghai. Theresults show that this model can be used to greatly improve the forecast precision of EPC for a secondary industryor the whole society.

A Negative Donor Center Trapped by a Spherical Quantum Dot

The properties of the low-lying states of a negative donor center trapped by a spherical quantum dot, which is subjected to a parabolic potential confinement, are investigated in the absence of magnetic field. The calculations have been performed by means of the exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix within the effective-mass approximation. We find that there is only one bound state the D^- center in a spherical parabolic quantum dot in the absence of magnetic field. The binding energy of the ground state is obtained as a function of the dot size. Moreover, the critical confined potential radius value at which the negative donor center changes from unbound to bound is obtained.

Structural and Bonding Properties of Al_(n)C_(4)^(−/0)(n=2−4)Clusters:Anion Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Theoretical Calculations

We measured the photoelectron spectra of Al_(n)C_(4)^(−)(n=2−4)clusters by using size-selected anion photoelectron spectroscopy.The structures of Al_(n)C_(4)^(−/0)(n=2−4)clusters were explored with quantum chemistry calculations and were determined by comparing the theoretical results with the experimental spectra.It is found that the most stable structure of Al_(2)C_(4)^(−) anion is a C_(2v)symmetry planar structure with two Al atoms interacting with two C_(2)units.In addition,Al_(2)C_(4)^(−) anion also has a D∞h symmetry linear structure with two Al atoms located at the two ends of a C_(4)chain,which is slightly higher in energy than the planar structure.The most stable structure of neutral Al_(2)C_(4)has a D∞h symmetry linear structure.The most stable structure of Al_(3)C_(4)^(−) anion is a planar structure with three Al atoms interacting with two C_(2)units.Whereas neutral Al_(3)C_(4)cluster has a C_(2v)symmetric V-shaped bent structure.The global minima structures of both Al_(4)C_(4)^(−) and neutral Al_(4)C_(4)are C_(2)h symmetry planar structures with four Al atoms interacting with the ends of two C_(2)units.Adaptive natural density partitioning analyses of Al_(n)C_(4)^(−)(n=2−4)clusters show that the interactions between the Al atoms and C_(2)units have bothσandπcharacters.

Time Series as an Aid to Research of Traction Substation Load

In the case of electric or tram traction vehicles, the energy for propulsion purposes, as well as all other purposes, is processed and delivered via traction substations. Knowledge of the course of traction substation loading, especially at the stage of its design, is an extremely important issue because of the choice of the processing equipment of the main circuit or protection devices. In the range of investigations of railway traction substation B in vicinity of Cracow （Poland）, the measurements of current load in hours 4：00 a.m.-8：00 p.m. were realized. The measurements for the analysis were chosen from those realized between 6：00 a.m.-8：00 a.m. （the morning rush time）. Due to the sampling of 2 h summit with a frequency of 2 kHz, the recorded data set contains 1.44 ~ 107 elements. Therefore, the necessary transformation of data was to lower frequency 1 Hz, 10 Hz and 50 Hz. The results of the analysis presented below indicate the effect of such conduct on the obtained results for the parameters of time series models. In view of the unsatisfactory effects of the polynomial approximation, there is a need to seek a more efficient approximation method for achieving the optimum compatibility with the measured process. Continued research should lead to the formulation of procedures, which will determine an acceptable accuracy of the expected variability of traction substation loads.

Electrochemical Behavior of Electrodeposited Sn Films： Possible Negative Electrode for Na^＋ Rechargeable Batteries

Tin films on copper substrate, obtained by electrodeposition procedure, were structural and electrochemical characterized. In particular to investigate the possibility to use such metal as possible negative electrode in Na＋ rechargeable batteries, EPS （electrochemical potential spectroscopy） and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling of the electrodes were investigated, at room temperature in organic electrolyte. Three crystalline and one amorphous phases were identified as well as high discharge capacity （738 mAb/g） was obtained after 4 cycles. Unfortunately material fading, due to the internal stress during sodiation/desodiation process, causes poor cyclability.

Integrated Power Conversion for Multiple DC Voltage Sources and Its Power Quality

In a smart grid, electric loads are supplied by various DC （direct current） power sources, such as solar cells or batteries. On the other hand, traditional AC （alternating current） loads like a directly connected induction motors will also be used. In the circumstances, a smart power conversion unit is one of key components, which can integrate these DC or AC apparatus and trade power among them. Authors have developed an integrated power converter based on a well-known circuit topology of flying capacitor multilevel converter. This paper describes the detail of the circuit topology and its characteristics depending on designed parameters. The achieved power quality is also verified by simulation study.

Size Effect of a Negatively Charged Exciton in a Two-Dimensional Quantum Dot

In this paper we study a negatively charged exciton （NCE）, which is trapped by a two-dimensional （2D） parabolic potential. By using matrix diagonalization techniques, the correlation energies of the low-lying states with L=0, 1, and 2 are calculated as a function of confinement strength. We find that the size effects of different states are different. This phenomenon can be explained as a hidden symmetry, which is originated purely from symmetry. Based on symmetry, the features of the low-lying states are discussed in the influence of the 2D parabolic potential well. It is found that the confinement may cause accidental degeneracies between levels with different low-excited states. It is shown that the effect of quantum confinement on the binding energy of the heavy hole is stronger than that of a light hole.

Frequency Variations of Power System Due to Switching of Renewable Energy Sources

Power systems in Germany mainly containing intermittently operating renewable sources require load/frequency control which is performed up to now at the AC transmissioh and distribution levels. Frequency control can be achieved by employing short-and long-term storage plants buffering and complementing renewable energy sources. A representative grid consists of a natural-gas-fired plant serving as frequency leader, long-term storage plant, wind-power farm with associated short-term storage plantfor energy buffering, and photovoltaic farm with associated short-term storage plant interconnected by a long transmission line to two load circuits. Transient analysis is performed with Mathemafica solving the differential equation system for frequency variation. Powerflow through the AC transmission line is limited by its impedance. The long transmission line must be segmented to achieve stability and voltage control over an 800 km distance. The renewable plants must be operated together with the storage plants in order tominimize frequency variations by smoothing the power output of renewable plants, achieving step-wise control of the transmission-line power. Although to date only AC Iransmission lines in Germany exist, it is anticipated that within the next 10 years these will beaugmented by DC high-voltage lines.

A Case Study Survey of the Impact of the Inductive Loads on Power Quality

Power quality is a complex term that is defined by the legislation, but also as an obligation of the supplier and customer. The customer must return the negative effects of its consumers （taking reactive power, harmonic generation, phase unbalance） down to the prescribed limits. This primarily refers to the presence of non-linear consumers, leading to distortion of the basic parameters of voltage and current, in steady or transient conditions, and therefore the deformation of waveform. One way to reduce the negative feedback effects, especially with inductive loads, is the reactive energy compensation. The paper presents one of the solution for reactive power compensation, applied on the pumping station of public company ＂Waterworks and Sewerage---Bar＂, Bar.

Load Management Scheme Using Air Conditioning Electric Power Consumption and Photovoltaic Power System Generation

In the last few decades, in the world and also in the European Union, considerable resources had been invested in the rapid development of renewable energy sources and distributed generation in general. At the same time, power consumption is continuously increasing, and consumers are becoming more complex, which ultimately requires new investments in the distribution network. Concept of smart grids is generally accepted as a possible solution. Smart grid is a concept with many elements, where monitoring and control of every element in the chain of production, transmission, distribution and final consumption enable much more efficient delivery and use of electricity. One of the elements of smart grid efficiency is the ability of real-time demand-supply balancing. This balancing is carried out by monitoring of consumption and redistribution of electricity among individual end users, according to their needs. The aim of this paper is creating algorithm for real-time load management using power measurements. Algorithm for real-time load management at the ETFOS （Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Osijek）, Croatia is created based on measurements of photovoltaic power plant production, the power consumption of air conditioning system and the faculty building total electricity consumption. Expected result of real-time re-dispatching of air conditioners consumption, depending on the level of electricity production in photovoltaic power plant is decreasing peak demand of the faculty.

Assessing Micro-generation＇s and Non-linear Loads＇ Impact in the Power Quality of Low Voltage Distribution Networks

Distribution networks face an increasing penetration of solar PV （photovoltaic） and small WTG （wind turbine generator） as well as other forms of micro-generation. To this scenario, one must add the dissemination of non-linear loads such as EV （electric vehicles）. There is something in common between those loads and sources： the extensive use of power electronic converters with commutated switches. These devices may be a source of medium-to-high frequency harmonic distortion and their impact on the local distribution grid must be carefully assessed in order to evaluate their negative impacts on the network, on the existing conventional loads and also on other active devices. In this paper, methodologies to characterize effects such as： harmonics, network unbalances, damaging power line resonance conditions, and over/under voltages are described and applied to a real local grid configuration.

New electrochemical energy storage systems based on metallic lithium anode the research status,problems and challenges of lithium-sulfur,lithium-oxygen and all solid state batteries

Li-ion batteries have played a key role in the portable electronics and electrification of transport in modern society. Nevertheless,the limited highest energy density of Li-ion batteries is not sufficient for the long-term needs of society. Since lithium is the lightest metal among all metallic elements and possesses the lowest redox potential of.3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode, it delivers the highest theoretical specific capacity of 3860 mA h g^(-1) and a high working voltage of full batteries which causes a great interest in electrochemical energy storage systems. Lithium-sulfur, lithium-oxygen and corresponding all solid state batteries based on metal lithium anode have received widely attention owing to their high energy densities. However, the problems in the cathode,electrolyte and anode of these three systems restrict their practical application. In this review, the research status and problems of these three energy storage systems are summarized and the challenges and future perspectives are also outlined.

A review of negative electrode materials for electrochemical supercapacitors

With increasing demands for clean and sustainable energy, the advantages of high power density, high efficiency, and long life expectancy have made supercapacitors one of the major emerging devices for electrochemical energy storage and power supply. However, one of the key challenges for SCs is their limited energy density, which has hindered their wider application in the field of energy storage. Despite significant progress has been achieved in the fabrication of high-energy density positive electrodes materials, negative electrode materials with high capacitance and a wide potential window are relatively less explored. In this review, we introduced some new negative electrode materials except for common carbon-based materials and what's more, based on our team's work recently, we put forward some new strategies to solve their inherent shortcoming as electrode material for SCs.

Pseudocapacitive sodium storage of Fe1-xS@N-doped carbon for low-temperature operation

Constructing potential anodes for sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)with a wide temperature property has captured enormous interests in recent years.Fe1-xS,a zero-band gap material confirmed by density states calculation,is an ideal electrode for fast energy storage on account of its low cost and high theoretical capacity.Herein,Fe1-xS nanosheet wrapped by nitrogen-doped carbon(Fe1-xS@NC)is engineered through a post-sulfidation strategy using Fe-based metal-organic framework(Fe-MOF)as the precursor.The obtained Fe1-xS@NC agaric-like structure can well shorten the charge diffusion pathway,and significantly enhance the ionic/electronic conductivities and the reaction kinetics.As expected,the Fe1-xS@NC electrode,as a prospective SIB anode,delivers a desirable capacity up to 510.2 mA h g^-1 at a high rate of8000 mA g^-1.Additionally,even operated at low temperatures of 0 and-25°C,high reversible capacities of 387.1 and 223.4 mA h g^-1 can still be obtained at 2000 mA g^-1,respectively,indicating its huge potential use at harsh temperatures.More noticeably,the full battery made by the Fe1-xS@NC anode and Na3 V2(PO4)2 O2 F cathode achieves a remarkable rate capacity(186.8 mA h g^-1 at 2000 m A g^-1)and an impressive cycle performance(183.6 m A h g^-1 after 100 cycles at700 mA g^-1)between 0.3 and 3.8 V.Such excellent electrochemical performance is mainly contributed by its pseudocapacitive-dominated behavior,which brings fast electrode kinetics and robust structural stability to the whole electrode.
