Price prediction of power transformer materials based on CEEMD and GRU

The rapid growth of the Chinese economy has fueled the expansion of power grids.Power transformers are key equipment in power grid projects,and their price changes have a significant impact on cost control.However,the prices of power transformer materials manifest as nonsmooth and nonlinear sequences.Hence,estimating the acquisition costs of power grid projects is difficult,hindering the normal operation of power engineering construction.To more accurately predict the price of power transformer materials,this study proposes a method based on complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition(CEEMD)and gated recurrent unit(GRU)network.First,the CEEMD decomposed the price series into multiple intrinsic mode functions(IMFs).Multiple IMFs were clustered to obtain several aggregated sequences based on the sample entropy of each IMF.Then,an empirical wavelet transform(EWT)was applied to the aggregation sequence with a large sample entropy,and the multiple subsequences obtained from the decomposition were predicted by the GRU model.The GRU model was used to directly predict the aggregation sequences with a small sample entropy.In this study,we used authentic historical pricing data for power transformer materials to validate the proposed approach.The empirical findings demonstrated the efficacy of our method across both datasets,with mean absolute percentage errors(MAPEs)of less than 1%and 3%.This approach holds a significant reference value for future research in the field of power transformer material price prediction.

In fossil energy pollution is serious and the“double carbon”goal is being promoted,as a symbol of fresh energy in the electrical system,solar and wind power have an increasing installed capacity,only conventional units obviously can not solve the new energy as the main body of the scheduling problem.To enhance the systemscheduling ability,based on the participation of thermal power units,incorporate the high energy-carrying load of electro-melting magnesiuminto the regulation object,and consider the effects on the wind unpredictability of the power.Firstly,the operating characteristics of high energy load and wind power are analyzed,and the principle of the participation of electrofusedmagnesiumhigh energy-carrying loads in the elimination of obstructedwind power is studied.Second,a two-layer optimization model is suggested,with the objective function being the largest amount of wind power consumed and the lowest possible cost of system operation.In the upper model,the high energy-carrying load regulates the blocked wind power,and in the lower model,the second-order cone approximation algorithm is used to solve the optimizationmodelwithwind power uncertainty,so that a two-layer optimizationmodel that takes into account the regulation of the high energy-carrying load of the electrofused magnesium and the uncertainty of the wind power is established.Finally,the model is solved using Gurobi,and the results of the simulation demonstrate that the suggested model may successfully lower wind abandonment,lower system operation costs,increase the accuracy of day-ahead scheduling,and lower the final product error of the thermal electricity unit.

Characteristic Analysis of Power Oscillations Caused by Disharmony Among Voltage-source-controlled Units in Three-terminal Local Power Grid

Previous studies have demonstrated that disharmony among voltage-source-controlled units(VSCUs)may occur on an alternating current(AC)transmission or distribution line under steady-state operating conditions(SSOCs)or quasistatic operating conditions(QSSOCs).As the studies on frequency disharmony have been expanded to multiple disharmonized vS-CUs in the local power grid,its adverse effects on AC lines and equivalent load(EL)at the bus without active voltage control ability(non-active bus)need to be investigated further.Considering the locality of disharmony and common topological con-nections among VSCUs,this paper adopts a Y-type three-termi-nal local power grid(LPG)as the research object.The disharmony among the three VSCUs is discussed.Firstly,for the load at non-active bus,the formulas for single-phase instantaneous voltage,load current,load power,as well as average power un-der disharmony operating conditions(DOCs)are derived.The characteristic indicators of the above electrical quantities are defined,which can measure the amplification and reduction de-grees of the above electrical quantities before and after disharmony.Secondly,for the line directly connected to VSCUs,the formulas for single-phase instantaneous line current and power and the average power under DOCs are derived.The characteristic indicators of power flow are defined,which can be used to quantify the peak amplification impact of oscillation before and after disharmony.Finally,the case study on the Y-type three-terminal LPG under the single-disharmony and the multi-dis-harmony switching scenarios indicates that the long-period pow-er oscillation caused by disharmony may occur in the load flow at the non-active bus and the line flow.The oscillation causes a serious decrease in load capability and a significant amplification of the peak of line power oscillation.

The step response models for the dynamic matrix control(DMC) are constructed using the three inputs and the three outputs. Piecewise models are built at selected operation points. Double-layered multi-model predictive controller is implemented in simulation with satisfactory performance.

LVP Modeling and Dynamic Characteristics Prediction of A Hydraulic Power Unit in Deep-Sea

A hydraulic power unit （HPU） is the driving ＂heart＂ of deep-sea working equipment. It is critical to predict its dynamic performances in deep-water before being immerged in the seawater, while the experimental tests by simulating deep-sea environment have many disadvantages, such as expensive cost, long test cycles, and difficult to achieve low-temperature simulation, which is only used as a supplementary means for confirmatory experiment. This paper proposes a novel theoretical approach based on the linear varying parameters （LVP） modeling to foresee the dynamic performances of the driving unit. Firstly, based on the varying environment features, dynamic expressions of the compressibility and viscosity of hydranlic oil are derived to reveal the fluid performances changing. Secondly, models of hydraulic system and electrical system are accomplished respectively through studying the control process and energy transfer, and then LVP models of the pressure and flow rate control is obtained through the electro-hydraulic models integration. Thirdly, dynamic characteristics of HPU are obtained by the model simulating within bounded closed sets of varying parameters. Finally, the developed HPU is tested in a deep-sea imitating hull, and the experimental results are well consistent with the theoretical analysis outcomes, which clearly declare that the LVP modeling is a rational way to foresee dynamic performances of HPU. The research approach and model analysis results can be applied to the predictions of working properties and product designs for other deep-sea hydraulic pump.

Extended Sequential Truncation Technique for Adaptive Dynamic Programming Based Security-Constrained Unit Commitment with Optimal Power Flow Constraints

Considering the economics and securities for the operation of a power system, this paper presents a new adaptive dynamic programming approach for security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problems. In response to the “curse of dimension” problem of dynamic programming, the approach solves the Bellman’s equation of SCUC approximately by solving a sequence of simplified single stage optimization problems. An extended sequential truncation technique is proposed to explore the state space of the approach, which is superior to traditional sequential truncation in daily cost for unit commitment. Different test cases from 30 to 300 buses over a 24 h horizon are analyzed. Extensive numerical comparisons show that the proposed approach is capable of obtaining the optimal unit commitment schedules without any network and bus voltage violations, and minimizing the operation cost as well.
