Novel method for identifying the stages of discharge underwater based on impedance change characteristic

It is difficult to determine the discharge stages in a fixed time of repetitive discharge underwater due to the arc formation process being susceptible to external environmental influences. This paper proposes a novel underwater discharge stage identification method based on the Strong Tracking Filter(STF) and impedance change characteristics. The time-varying equivalent circuit model of the discharge underwater is established based on the plasma theory analysis of the impedance change characteristics and mechanism of the discharge process. The STF is used to reduce the randomness of the impedance of repeated discharges underwater, and then the universal identification resistance data is obtained. Based on the resistance variation characteristics of the discriminating resistance of the pre-breakdown, main, and oscillatory discharge stages, the threshold values for determining the discharge stage are obtained. These include the threshold values for the resistance variation rate(K) and the moment(t).Experimental and error analysis results demonstrate the efficacy of this innovative method in discharge stage determination, with a maximum mean square deviation of Scrless than 1.761.

Predicting dynamic compressive strength of frozen-thawed rocks by characteristic impedance and data-driven methods

In cold regions,the dynamic compressive strength(DCS)of rock damaged by freeze-thaw weathering significantly influences the stability of rock engineering.Nevertheless,testing the dynamic strength under freeze-thaw weathering conditions is often both time-consuming and expensive.Therefore,this study considers the effect of characteristic impedance on DCS and aims to quickly determine the DCS of frozen-thawed rocks through the application of machine-learning techniques.Initially,a database of DCS for frozen-thawed rocks,comprising 216 rock specimens,was compiled.Three external load parameters(freeze-thaw cycle number,confining pressure,and impact pressure)and two rock parameters(characteristic impedance and porosity)were selected as input variables,with DCS as the predicted target.This research optimized the kernel scale,penalty factor,and insensitive loss coefficient of the support vector regression(SVR)model using five swarm intelligent optimization algorithms,leading to the development of five hybrid models.In addition,a statistical DCS prediction equation using multiple linear regression techniques was developed.The performance of the prediction models was comprehensively evaluated using two error indexes and two trend indexes.A sensitivity analysis based on the cosine amplitude method has also been conducted.The results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid SVR-based models consistently provided accurate DCS predictions.Among these models,the SVR model optimized with the chameleon swarm algorithm exhibited the best performance,with metrics indicating its effectiveness,including root mean square error(RMSE)﹦3.9675,mean absolute error(MAE)﹦2.9673,coefficient of determination(R^(2))﹦0.98631,and variance accounted for(VAF)﹦98.634.This suggests that the chameleon swarm algorithm yielded the most optimal results for enhancing SVR models.Notably,impact pressure and characteristic impedance emerged as the two most influential parameters in DCS prediction.This research is anticipated to serve as a reliable reference for estimating the DCS of rocks subjected to freeze-thaw weathering.

Empirical equations between characteristic impedance and mechanical properties of rocks

Based on a great number of experimental data on various mechanical properties of rock in the literature,six empirical equations between the characteristic impedance(product of density and P-wave velocity)and mechanical properties of rock are proposed.These properties include uniaxial compressive strength,tensile strength,shear strength,mode I fracture toughness,Young’s modulus,and Poisson’s ratio.These empirical equations show that the values of the aforementioned properties increase with increase in characteristic impedance.It also implies that the characteristic impedance of rock may be considered as an index to represent the main properties of rock.In this sense,it is possible to consider using characteristic impedance to classify rock masses for studies in the future.

Construction of a broadband impedance spectrum and synchronous DC voltammetry measurement system for solar cells

The current impedance spectroscopy measurement techniques face difficulties in diagnosing solar cell faults due to issues such as cost,complexity,and accuracy.Therefore,a novel system was developed for precise broadband impedance spectrum measurement of solar cells,which was composed of an oscilloscope,a signal generator,and a sampling resistor.The results demonstrate concurrent accurate measurement of the impedance spectrum(50 Hz-0.1 MHz)and direct current voltametric characteristics.Comparative analysis with Keithley 2450 data yields a global relative error of approximately 6.70%,affirming the accuracy.Among excitation signals(sine,square,triangle,pulse waves),sine wave input yields the most accurate data,with a root mean square error of approximately 13.3016 and a global relative error of approximately 4.25%compared to theoretical data.Elevating reference resistance expands the half circle in the impedance spectrum.Proximity of reference resistance to that of the solar cell enhances the accuracy by mitigating line resistance influence.Measurement error is lower in high-frequency regions due to a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

Hybrid Multi-Infeed Interaction Factor Calculation Method Considering Voltage Regulation Control Characteristics of Voltage Source Converter

Voltage source converter based high voltage direct current(VSC-HVDC)can participate in voltage regulation by flexible control to help maintain the voltage stability of the power grid.In order to quantitatively evaluate its influence on the voltage interaction between VSC-HVDC and line commutated converter based high voltage direct current(LCC-HVDC),this paper proposes a hybrid multi-infeed interaction factor(HMIIF)calculation method considering the voltage regulation control characteristics of VSC-HVDC.Firstly,for a hybrid multi-infeed high voltage direct current system,an additional equivalent operating admittance matrix is constructed to characterize HVDC equipment characteristics under small disturbance.Secondly,based on the characteristic curve between the reactive power and the voltage of a certain VSC-HVDC project,the additional equivalent operating admittance of VSC-HVDC is derived.The additional equivalent operating admittance matrix calculation method is proposed.Thirdly,the equivalent bus impedance matrix is obtained by modifying the alternating current(AC)system admittance matrix with the additional equivalent operating admittance matrix.On this basis,the HMIIF calculation method based on the equivalent bus impedance ratio is proposed.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in a hybrid dual-infeed high voltage direct current system constructed in Power Systems Computer Aided Design(PSCAD),and the influence of voltage regulation control on HMIIF is analyzed.

Analysis on the Phase Frequency Characteristic of Soil Impedance

Soil is a typical porous media and its impedance characteristic directly determines the performance of grounding system. Soil phase frequency characteristic measurements were carried out on various soil types and water content. This paper finds that the impedance angle of soil specimen presents a capacitive performance when power frequency (f) is low. As the frequency increases, soil impedance angle goes up rapidly. Furthermore the frequency characteristic while f > 1000 Hz is distinct in terms of different water content. In particular, at low moisture content, soil impedance angle would be higher than 0?, that is, the inductive component is obvious. The study result indicates that porous media possesses the unique conductivity property dif-ferent from conductor and solution. Its mechanism needs further study.

An Efficient Algorithm for Calculating Aircraft RCS Based on the Geometrical Characteristics

Taking into account the influences of scatterer geometrical shapes on induced currents, an algorithm, termed the sparse-matrix method （SMM）, is proposed to calculate radar cross section （RCS） of aircraft configuration. Based on the geometrical characteristics and the method of moment （MOM）, the SMM points out that the strong current coupling zone could be predefined according to the shape of scatterers. Two geometrical parameters, the surface curvature and the electrical space between the field position and source position, are deducted to distinguish the dominant current coupling. Then the strong current coupling is computed to construct an impedance matrix having sparse nature, which is solved to compute RCS. The efficiency and feasibility of the SMM are demonstrated by computing electromagnetic scattering of some kinds of shapes such as a cone-sphere with a gap, a bi-arc column and a stealth aircraft configuration. The numerical results show that： （1） the accuracy of SMM is satisfied, as compared with MOM, and the computational time it spends is only about 8% of the MOM; （2） with the electrical space considered, making another allowance for the surface curvature can reduce the computation time by 9.5%.

Active injection protection scheme for flexible HVDC grids based on amplitude of input impedance

High-voltage direct current(HVDC)grids require fast and reliable protection of the DC lines.The performance of traditional protection schemes is easily impaired by the limitations of the boundary condition and nonlinearity from the control of converters.One of the key technologies for flexible HVDC grids is the half-bridge modular multilevel converter(HB-MMC).Considering the high controllability of HB-MMC,this study proposes an active injection protection scheme to improve the reliability and sensitivity of the HVDC grid protection.The HB-MMC is used to inject a sinusoidal characteristic signal,at the specified frequency,into the DC lines.Then,the voltage and current at the specified frequency are extracted using the Prony algorithm to calculate the input impedance,which is used for the identification of internal and external faults.The active injection protection scheme was simulated for various cases in the simulation software Power Systems Computer Aided Design.The simulation results indicate that the proposed protection scheme is highly reliable and can overcome transition resistance.
