Centralized control of parallel connected power conditioning system in electric vehicle charge-discharge and storage integration station

This study presents a centralized control scheme that coordinates parallel operations of power conditioning system(PCS)for the grid interactions of electric vehicles(EVs)in EV charge-discharge and storage integration station.Key issues for the control and operation of PCS under various operation modes are discussed,including vehicle to grid(V2G)mode,stand-alone mode and seamless transfer mode.The intelligent multi-mode charge-discharge method is utilized for the V2G mode,and the parallel control method based on communication network is adopted for the standalone mode.In addition,a novel seamless transfer strategy is proposed,which is able to implement PCS transition between V2G mode and stand-alone mode.The detailed process of the seamless transfer between the two modes is illustrated.Experimental results are presented to show the performance and feasibility of this strategy.

Analysis of the Development of the Commercial Space Around Metro Stations in Urban Core Areas Based on Place Making: A Case Study of Chunxi Road Metro Station in Chengdu

The metro is the most efficient and convenient public transport system in modern cities. For urban core areas in China, in which the metro was built later, there was more consideration for meeting the traffic needs of cities. However, there are few studies of collaborative planning for metro stations and their surrounding space. Thus, there is an urgent need to conduct research on collaborative planning for metro stations and their surrounding commercial space in urban core areas. Unlike conventional methods of integrated design of stations and cities, this paper, based on the theory of place spirit, took Chunxi Road Metro Station in Chengdu and its surrounding commercial space for example. It explored the pattern and characteristics of the place in the commercial space around the metro station, analyzed the strategies of cultural and commercial integration, as well as architecture, street, landscape and other aspects of the design method in the space, and explored the strategies of place-making and infiltration, providing a reference point for the development and place-making of the commercial space around metro stations in urban core areas.

Optimal Planning of Community Integrated Energy Station Considering Frequency Regulation Service

With the extensive integration of high-penetration renewable energy resources,more fast-response frequency regulation(FR)providers are required to eliminate the impact of uncertainties from loads and distributed generators(DGs)on system security and stability.As a high-quality FR resource,community integrated energy station(CIES)can effectively respond to frequency deviation caused by renewable energy generation,helping to solve the frequency problem of power system.This paper proposes an optimal planning model of CIES considering FR service.First,the model of FR service is established to unify the time scale of FR service and economic operation.Then,an optimal planning model of CIES considering FR service is proposed,with which the revenue of participating in the FR service is obtained under market mechanism.The flexible electricity pricing model is introduced to flatten the peak tieline power of CIES.Case studies are conducted to analyze the annual cost and the revenue of CIES participating in FR service,which suggest that providing ancillary services can bring potential revenue.
