This study designed an optimised solar wind power generation system to fulfil the energy requirement of a cold chain logistics centre. This study first conducted a thorough analysis of the clarity indicators and daily temperature positions of the cold chain logistics centre, determined the average daily electricity demand, and proposed an effective design scheme. The energy simulation software, RETScreen 8.0, was used to determine the scale of solar photovoltaic and wind power projects that meet the expected energy needs of the cold chain logistics centre. The results indicated that the estimated annual total energy demand was 833689.2 kWh. The annual power generation of 6 kW from solar photovoltaic projects and 150 kW from wind power projects was found to be enough to meet the expected electricity demand. Solar photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation account for 2.44% and 97.56%, respectively. The hybrid energy system achieved a 96.6% reduction in carbon emissions and provides a reasonable payback period of 6.1 years and an electricity generation of 904368.674 kWh per year.

The lack of models that accurately portray the electrical characteristics of actual MGs while is controller design-friendly has kept the issue active. To this end, this paper establishes a large-signal model containing the comprehensive dynamical behavior of the DC MGs based on the theory of high-order fully actuated systems, and proposes distributed optimal control based on this. The proposed secondary control method can achieve the two goals of voltage recovery and current sharing for multi-bus DC MGs. Additionally, the simple structure of the proposed approach is similar to one based on droop control, which allows this control technique to be easily implemented in a variety of modern microgrids with different configurations. In contrast to existing studies, the process of controller design in this paper is closely tied to the actual dynamics of the MGs. It is a prominent feature that enables engineers to customize the performance metrics of the system. In addition, the analysis of the stability of the closed-loop DC microgrid system, as well as the optimality and consensus of current sharing are given. Finally, a scaled-down solar and battery-based microgrid prototype with maximum power point tracking controller is developed in the laboratory to experimentally test the efficacy of the proposed control method.展开更多

To demonstrate the meritorious performance of the proposed scheme for injected current control, it is compared with the performance of a proportional-integral(PI) controller and advanced exponential sliding mode control(SMC). Finally, the practicality of the proposed scheme is justified by experimental results obtained through rapid control prototyping(RCP) using the dSPACESCALEXIO platform.

文摘In wind power generation system the grid-connected inverter is an important section for energy conversion and transmission, of which the performance has a direct influence on the entire wind power generation system. The mathematical model of the grid-connected inverter is deduced firstly. Then, the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is analyzed. The power factor can be controlled close to unity, leading or lagging, which is realized based on H-type current controller and grid voltage vector-oriented control. The control strategy is verified by the simulation and experimental results with a good sinusoidal current, a small harmonic component and a fast dynamic response.
文摘This paper proposes a robust dichotomy-based model predictive control(DS-MPC)with a fixed switching frequency for the grid-connected inverter(GCI).The proposed fast dichotomy algorithm can select and deduce the optimal voltage vector dynamically through the space vector plane.Therefore,the proposed DS-MPC strategy could ensure dynamic performance and steady-state performance as well.Also,the current control robustness can be improved through DS-MPC with disturbance observer(DO)based on the extended Kalman filter(EKF).The novelty of this control is that the current control with fast dynamic response can be realized in the weak grid,even if the grid voltages are greatly distorted.Simulation and hardware experiments on the weak grid validate the effectiveness of the proposed DS-MPC with the EKF observer approach.

文摘Multi-energy microgrids(MEMG)play an important role in promoting carbon neutrality and achieving sustainable development.This study investigates an effective energy management strategy(EMS)for MEMG.First,an energy management system model that allows for intra-microgrid energy conversion is developed,and the corresponding Markov decision process(MDP)problem is formulated.Subsequently,an improved double deep Q network(iDDQN)algorithm is proposed to enhance the exploration ability by modifying the calculation of the Q value,and a prioritized experience replay(PER)is introduced into the iDDQN to improve the training speed and effectiveness.Finally,taking advantage of the federated learning(FL)and iDDQN algorithms,a federated iDDQN is proposed to design an MEMG energy management strategy to enable each microgrid to share its experiences in the form of local neural network(NN)parameters with the federation layer,thus ensuring the privacy and security of data.The simulation results validate the superior performance of the proposed energy management strategy in minimizing the economic costs of the MEMG while reducing CO_2 emissions and protecting data privacy.

文摘This paper proposes a cascade repetitive control strategy based on odd internal mode,and combines it with proportional-integral(PI)control to establish a compound repetitive control system for improving the quality of grid connected current of LCL grid connected inverter.More specifically,the proposed method could effectively improve the control effect of grid-connected current of LCL inverter,restrain current harmonics and reduce the distortion rate of grid-connected current.Simulation experiment is conducted to verify the proposed repetitive control strategy,and the verification results show that,compared with traditional PI control,the proposed improved compound repetitive control strategy has a higher response speed,and the steady-state and dynamic performance have also been significantly improved.

文摘The widespread penetration of distributed energy sources and the use of load response programs,especially in a microgrid,have caused many power system issues,such as control and operation of these networks,to be affected.The control and operation of many small-distributed generation units with different performance characteristics create another challenge for the safe and efficient operation of the microgrid.In this paper,the optimum operation of distributed generation resources and heat and power storage in a microgrid,was performed based on real-time pricing through the proposed gray wolf optimization(GWO)algorithm to reduce the energy supply cost with the microgrid.Distributed generation resources such as solar panels,diesel generators with battery storage,and boiler thermal resources with thermal storage were used in the studied microgrid.Also,a combined heat and power(CHP)unit was used to produce thermal and electrical energy simultaneously.In the simulations,in addition to the gray wolf algorithm,some optimization algorithms have also been used.Then the results of 20 runs for each algorithm confirmed the high accuracy of the proposed GWO algorithm.The results of the simulations indicated that the CHP energy resources must be managed to have a minimum cost of energy supply in the microgrid,considering the demand response program.

文摘Nowadays,the single state inverter for the grid-connected photovoltaic(PV)systems is becoming more and more popular as they can reduce circuit complexity resulting in less power losses of the inverter.This paper focuses on the use of model predictive control(MPC)to control a 3-phase and 2-level single-state grid-connected inverter in order to regulate the PV maximum power point(MPP).The algorithm of MPC scheme was done to measure the simultaneous current signal including predicting the next sampling current flow.The reference current(Id∗)was used to control the distribution of electrical power from the solar cell to the grid.To be able to control the maximum power point tracking(MPPT)when the sunlight suddenly changes,so that a developing MPPT based on estimation current perturbation and observation(ECP&O-MPPT)technique was used to control the reference current.This concept was experimented by using MATLAB/Simulink software package.The proposed technique was tested and compared with the old technique.The simulation results showed that the developed MPPT technique can track the MPP faster when the light changes rapidly under 1,000W/m2,25℃ standard climatic conditions.The MPPT time was 0.015 s.The total harmonic distortion(THD)was 2.17%and the power factor was 1.
