Tests on the First 500 kV Compact Transmission Line in China

The paper deals with the tests on the first 500 kV compact transmission line. The transmission line stretches from Fangshan Substation to Changping Substation nearby Beijing with a length of 83 km. In order to investigate the characteristics of the transmission line, many tests were performed on the line before and after its operation. The results indicate that all electrical parameters are perfectly identical to the design.

Analysis on the gear-shifting schedule of hydraulic automatic transmission

With an advanced foreign hydraulic automatic transmission as the objective,an analytical method for the gear-shifting schedule is proposed.First the demanded maximum gradient of test is estimated.Then a test scheme and analytical procedure is formulated by initial test and hypothetical shift parameters.Finally through gear-shifting tests under different road conditions,load,accelerator pedal position limitation,throttle opening and output shaft speed are found to be the gear-shifting parameters.Under a common road condition,the gear-shifting schedule is a double-parameter schedule.Based on the driver＇s demands on braking and dynamic performance,different shift schedules are made under downhill,uphill and quick releasing acceleration pedal conditions.The operation criteria of down-shift schedule on abrupt grade are proposed.

Stability Analysis of Multi-paralleled Grid-connected Inverters Including Distribution Parameter Characteristics of Transmission Lines

The sparse distribution characteristics of renewable energy resources can lead to there being tens of kilometers of transmission lines between a grid-connected inverter and the actual grid.Accurate analysis of the stability of such gridconnected inverter systems currently involves using a complex hyperbolic function to shaped model of the transmission line circuit.This has proved to be problematic,so,drawing upon the distribution parameter characteristics of transmission lines,this paper looks at how to use impedance-based stability criteria to assess the stability of multi-paralleled grid-connected inverters.First,the topology of multi-paralleled inverters connected to the grid via transmission lines is established,using each transmission line terminal as a grid connection point.Each grid-connected system is taken to be equivalent to a small-signal circuit model of the“current source-grid”.Euler’s formula and the Nyquist stability criterion are combined to assess the stability of the associated grid-connected current transfer functions and evaluate the stability of the grid-connected current.Finally,a simulation analysis circuit is constructed to verify whether power line intervention will cause stability problems in the grid-connected system.Overall,it is found that long-distance transmission lines are more likely to cause unstable output of the grid-connected current.It is also found that the number of grid-connected inverters,the short-circuit ratio(SCR),the distorted grid and the inverter parameters can all have a significant impact on the stability of the grid-connected current.

Estimation of boundary parameters and prediction of transmission loss based upon ray acoustics

Estimation of boundary parameters and prediction of transmission loss using a coherent channel model based upon ray acoustics and sound propagation data collected in field experiments are presented. Comparison between the prediction results and the experiment data indicates that the adopted sound propagation model is valuable, both selection and estimation methods on boundary parameters are reasonable, and the prediction performance of transmission loss is favorable.

A discrete-time susceptible-infectious-recovered-susceptible model for the analysis of influenza data

We develop a discrete time compartmental model to describe the spread of seasonal influenza virus.As time and disease state variables are assumed to be discrete,this model is considered to be a discrete time,stochastic,Susceptible-Infectious-RecoveredSusceptible(DT-SIRS)model,where weekly counts of disease are assumed to follow a Poisson distribution.We allow the disease transmission rate to also vary over time,and the disease can only be reintroduced after extinction if there is a contact with infected individuals from other host populations.To capture the variability of influenza activities from one season to the next,we define the seasonality with a 4-week period effect that may change over years.We examine three different transmission rates and compare their performance to that of existing approaches.Even though there is limited information for susceptible and recovered individuals,we demonstrate that the simple models for transmission rates effectively capture the behaviour of the disease dynamics.We use a Bayesian approach for inference.The framework is applied in an analysis of the temporal spread of influenza in the province of Manitoba,Canada,2012e2015.

FSK signal generation with wavelength reuse capability in 8 Gbit/s radio over fiber systems

In this paper, a technique was numerically implemented to generate a frequency shift keying （FSK） radio-over-fiber （RoF） signal in optical domain. Due to the oscillator free generation of FSK signal, this scheme is highly stable with reduced complexity and extremely cost effective. The remote heterodyne detection method was used to detect the signal, where beating occurs to detect the FSK signal. With this scheme, it is able to efficiently generate FSK signal in the range of 60 and 75 GHz at 8 Gbit/s and effectively transmit it over 80 km link without degrading the signal shape and quality. The nonlinear threshold （NLT） point of the system has also been numerically analyzed to estimate the nonlinear tolerance of the system. Besides, the impact of transmission distance and polarization mode dispersion （PMD） was evaluated. Furthermore, the wavelength reuse for the uplink was implemented in the scheme by reusing the same wave- length for uplink that was used for signal generation at downlink. The whole process was performed in optical domain. Thus this scheme is very cost effective as the overall architecture of RoF system is simplified.
