Three north-underthrusting （subducting）, steep-dipping, high-velocity zones （bodies） are recognized at depths, which correspond to the central West Kunlun junction belt （bounded by the Kiida-Kaxtax fault on the north and Bulungkol-Kangxiwar fault on the south）, Quanshuigou fault belt （whose eastward extension is the Jinshajiang fault belt） and Bangong Co-Nujiang fault belt. The geodynamic process of the basin-range junction belt generally proceeded as follows： centering around the magma source region （which largely corresponds with the Karatag terrane at the surface）, the deep-seated material flowed and extended from below upward and to all sides, resulting in strong deformation （mainly extension） in the overlying lithosphere and even the upper mantle, appearance of extensional stress perpendicular to the strike of the orogenic belt in the thermal uplift region or at the top of the mantle diapir and localized thickening of the sedimentary cover （thermal subsidence in the upper crust）. Three stages of the basin- and mountain-forming processes in the West Kunlun-southern Tarim basin margin may be summarized： （1） the stage of Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rampingrapid uplift and rapid subsidence, when north-directed thrust propagation and south-directed intracontinental subduction, was the dominant mechanism for basin- and mountain-building processes; （2） the stage of Late Cretaceous-Paleogene deep-level detachment-slow uplift and homogeneous subsidence, when the dominant mechanism for the basin- and mountain-forming processes was detachment （subhorizontal north-directed deep-level ductile shear） and its resulting lateral propagation of deep material; and （3） the stage of Neogene-present compression-rapid uplift and strong subsidence, when the basin- and mountain-forming processes were simultaneously controlled by north-vergent thrust propagation and compression. The authors summarize the processes as the “ramping-detachment-compression basin- and mountain-forming dynamic model”. The basin-range tectonics was initiated in the Late Jurassic, the Miocene-Pliocene were a major transition period for the basin- and mountain-forming mechanism and the terminal early Pleistocene tectonic movement in the main laid a foundation for the basin-and-mountain tectonic framework in the West Kunlun-southern Tarim basin margin.展开更多

Residential PEFC-CGS has recently been gathering attention as one of the distributed power sources with high efficiency and low environmental impacts. Previous research pointed out that the output variations of PEFC adversely affect the durability. It can be surmised that smaller output variations will be desired to extend durability years. However, in this field, ramping rate have not been sufficiently considered. For local search and tabu search, ramping rate constraint makes our operation planning difficult because it restricts the search for feasible neighborhood solutions. Therefore, the authors proposed a method to deal with typical and harsher ramping rate constraints in comparison with conventional methods. There are two key points for the improvement. One is the reinforcement of the search along the output power axis;the other is to make use of the strategy of tabu search which avoids the local optimal solutions. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in the daily operation planning. Furthermore, in the case using typical ramping rate parameter, it is confirmed that tabu search doesn’t contribute the reduction of daily operational cost due to the above stated restriction of the search area.展开更多

文摘AC loss is one of the critical issues for designing REBCO fast‐ramping magnets operating at cryogenic temperatures.There are many ways to reduce AC loss for coil windings.However,it is not clear which method is the most effective way to minimize AC loss in the coil windings for a given Ampere‐turns.In this work,we numerically studied coil configurations of several small superconducting magnets constructed from 12 mm SuperPower REBCO coated conductors,for fast‐ramping application with the same Ampere‐turns to identify the lowest AC loss among them.The HTS magnets have a total turn number of 50 and inner diameter of 30 cm,carrying AC current operating in the temperature range of 20–40 K at 25 Hz.We incorporated several existing loss reduction strategies including spacing between the turns for single pancake coils,grading Ic values for the solenoid configuration,and applying flux diverters to shape the magnetic field around the coil windings.The simulation was implemented using a homogenized H‐formulation.Across all studied loss reduction methods,the use of flux diverters has the largest impact in AC loss reduction.The AC loss values in the solenoid winding comprising a stack of five single pancake coils with 0.1 mm turn‐to‐turn gap with the flux diverters agree well with those in the single pancake coil for 2 mm turn‐to‐turn gap with the flux diverters.Solenoid type coil configurations with flux diverters generate much smaller AC loss than the single pancake type with flux diverters when they generate the same center magnetic field.
