The voltage source converter based high voltage direct current(VSC-HVDC)system is based on voltage source converter,and its control system is more complex.Also affected by the fast control of power electronics,oscillation phenomenon in wide frequency domain may occur.To address the problem of small signal stability of the VSCHVDC system,a converter control strategy is designed to improve its small signal stability,and the risk of system oscillation is reduced by attaching a damping controller and optimizing the control parameters.Based on the modeling of the VSC-HVDC system,the general architecture of the inner and outer loop control of the VSCHVDC converter is established;and the damping controllers for DC control and AC control are designed in the phase-locked loop and the inner and outer loop control parts respectively;the state-space statemodel of the control system is established to analyze its performance.And the electromagnetic transient simulation model is built on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform to verify the accuracy of the small signal model.The influence of the parameters of each control part on the stability of the system is summarized.The main control parts affecting stability are optimized for the phenomenon of oscillation due to changes in operation mode occurring on the AC side due to faults and other reasons,which effectively eliminates system oscillation and improves system small signal stability,providing a certain reference for engineering design.

Distance protection of EHV long transmission lines considering compensation degree of shunt reactor

This study investigated the feasibility of distance protection in extra-high voltage(EHV) networks. In long-distance transmission lines, the distributed parameter characteristic of the EHV network is obvious. When a fault occurs far away from the measurement site, the measured impedance might not be directly proportional to the fault distance, and the protection domain of distance protection will be decreased. The detailed theory inferred and proven in this paper reveals that this phenomenon is widespread in EHV transmission lines. The results indicate that the protection domain error is greatly reduced by the application of the shunt reactor. Overall, simulation results show that the proposed method is effective for impedance relay, considering different characteristics, different lengths of lines, and compensation degrees.

Inhibiting Ice Accumulation on Conductors by Using Sheath Treated with Super-hydrophobic Surfaces

Ice accumulation on transmission lines often leads to great damage to power systems.Super-hydrophobic surfaces are proposed to inhibit ice accumulation on electrical power equipment.A novel anti-icing method was presented for conductors with super-hydrophobic sleeves.The super-hydrophobic sleeves were prepared by applying polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) and nano-silica hybrid coating on the outer surface of polyethylen terephthalate(PET) sleeves.Hydrophobicity and ice adhesion strength of the super-hydrophobic surface were investigated.Ice accumulation experiments were carried out on ordinary conductors,super-hydrophobic coated conductors,PET sleeve-covered conductors,and super-hydrophobic PET sleeve-covered conductors.Ice accumulation morphology,accumulated ice weight,and the icicle length of these four types of conductors were studied and analyzed.At the end of the 3 h ice accumulation experiment,the ice weight and icicle length on the conductor with super-hydrophobic PET sleeve was only approximately one tenth and one seventh of that on the untreated conductor respectively.Furthermore,the water contact angles of super-hydrophobic coated aluminum surface and super-hydrophobic coated PET sleeve were about 163o in average.The results indicate that the super-hydrophobic coating is effective in inhibiting ice accumulation on conductors.However,the use of a super-hydrophobic PET sleeve is a significantly more effective method,comparing with the application of a super-hydrophobic coating directly on the conductor.

Optical nanofiber(ONF)is a special tool to achieve the interaction between light and matter with ultralow power.In this paper,we demonstrate V-type electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT)in cold atoms trapped by an ONFbased two-color optical lattice.At an optical depth of 7.35,90%transmission can be achieved by only 7.7 pW coupling power.The EIT peak and linewidth are investigated as a function of the coupling optical power.By modulating the pWlevel control beam of the ONF-EIT system in sequence,we further achieve efficient and high contrast control of the probe transmission,as well as its potential application in the field of quantum communication and quantum information science by using one-dimensional atomic chains.

Transverse Propagation Characteristics and Coherent Effect of Gaussian Beams

As an important electromagnetic Held in experiment,Gaussian beams have non-vanishing longitudinal electric and magnetic components that generate significant energy fluxes on transverse directions.We focus on the transverse energy flux and derive the theoretical propagation properties.Unlike the longitudinal energy flux,the transverse energy flux has many unique physical behaviors,such as the odd symmetry on propagation,slower decay rate on resonant condition.By means of the characteristics of transverse energy Bux,it is feasible to find the suitable regions where the information of coherent lights could be extracted exactly.With the typical laser parameters,we simulate the energy fluxes on receiver surface and analyze the corresponding distribution for the coherent light beams.Especially for coherent lights,the transverse energy Bux on the y-z plane with x=0 and x-z plane with y=0,contains pure coherent information.Meanwhile,in the transverse distance|y|<2 W0(W0 is the waist radius)and|x|<W0/3 the coherent information could also be extracted appropriately.

A Pilot Contamination Avoidance Based on Pilot Pattern Design for Ultra-Dense Network

With the ever-growing number of base stations(BSs)and user equipments(UEs)in ultra-dense networks(UDN),reusing the same pilot sequences among the cells is inevitable.With pilot reuse scheme,the channel estimation obtained at a BS contains not only the desired channel-state information(CSI)but also interference from neighboring cells,which can severely degrade CSI estimation performance and adversely affect communication performance.In this paper we consider a pilot contamination avoidance based on pilot pattern design for UDN where the pilot reuse employed and the interfering users from neighboring cells may be not at lower power levels at the BS compared to the in-cell users.We present a novel statistical interference model of sub-carriers to describe the non-deterministic interference from neighboring cells.Then,we provide a pilot pattern design model with non-uniform pilot distribution.Based on this,a pilot contamination avoidance based on pilot pattern design is proposed where pilot reuse scheme and the non-deterministic interference from neighboring cells are taken into consideration.Unlike existing interference mitigation approaches,the proposed method eliminates interference through the method of interference avoidance and can be applied to different kinds of channel estimation algorithms.Simulation results showed that the proposed approach can effectively avoid the interference and ensure the accuracy of channel estimation.

Coordination control method to block cascading failure of a renewable generation power system under line dynamic security

The large application of renewable energy generation(REG)has increased the risk of cascading failures in the power system.At the same time REG also provides the possibility of new approaches for the suppression of such failures.However,the capacity and position of the synchronous generator(SG)involved in regulation limit the power regu-lation speed(PRS)of REG to the overload line which is the main cause of cascading failures,while the PRS of SG is related to the position and shedding power.REG and SGs have difficulty in achieving effective cooperation under constraints of system power balance.Particularly,the dynamic variation of line flow during power regulation causes new problems for the accurate evaluation of line thermal safety under overload.Therefore,a new strategy for quan-titatively coordinating shedding power and power regulation to block cascading failures in the dynamic security domain is proposed in this paper.The control capability and dynamic security domain of the overload line are mod-eled,and the coordination control method based on power regulation is then proposed to minimize shedding power.The algorithm for the optimal control scheme considers the constraints of load capacity,power source capacity and bus PRS.The correctness of the proposed method is verified using case studies.

Ag-doped Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) sensor:A promising candidate for lowconcentration H_(2)S gas sensing

Trace hydrogen sulphide(H_(2)S)could reflect the severity of insulation faults in gas-insulated switchgear(GIS),therefore,accurate and fast detection of low-concentration H_(2)S is important for on-line monitoring,fault diagnosis,and state evaluation in GIS.Ag-Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) chemiresistive-type sensors were fabricated via drop-coating with self-reduction synthesised Ag-doped Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x).The as-prepared sensors exhibited an excel-lent sensitivity and selectivity to H_(2)S with an extremely low detection of limit of 18.57 parts per billion(ppb)at 25℃(room temperature).The response of Ag-Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) sensor to 10 parts per million(ppm)H_(2)S was enhanced~12 times than that of the pristine Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) sensor.The compositing of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) with Ag nanoparticles(NPs)enabled the fast response/recovery time for H_(2)S detection.Further analysis found that the enhanced H_(2)S sensing performances could be attributed to chemical sensitisation,adsorbed oxygen species regulation and high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller(BET)surface area.This study paves the way for Ag-Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) as room-temperature sensing materials to detect low-concentration H_(2)S in GIS.

Fault location method for petal-shaped distribution network with inverter-interfaced distributed generators

In this paper,a fault location method for the petal-shaped distribution network(PSDN)with inverter-interfaced distributed generators(IIDGs)is proposed to shorten the time of manual inspection.In order to calculate the fault position,the closed-loop structure of the PSDN is skillfully exploited,and the common control strategies of IIDGs are considered.For asymmetrical faults,a fault line identification formula based on the negative-sequence current phase differences is presented,and a fault location formula only utilizing the negative-sequence current amplitudes is derived to calculated the fault position.For symmetrical faults,the positive-sequence current at both ends of lines and the current output from IIDGs are used to identify the fault line,and the positive-sequence current on multiple lines are used to pinpoint the fault position.In this method,corresponding current phasors are separated into amplitudes and phases to satisfy the limitation of communication level.The simulation results show that the error is generally less than 1%,and the accuracy of the proposed method is not affected by the fault type,fault position,fault resistance,load current,and the IIDG penetration.

Field experiment using transient energy method to locate a single-phase to ground fault

Distribution networks in China and several other countries are predominantly neutral inefficiently grounding systems(NIGSs),and more than 80%of the faults in distribution networks are single-phase-to-ground(SPG)faults.Because of the weak fault current and imperfect monitoring equipment configurations,methods used to determine the faulty line secti ons with SPG faults in NIGSs are in effective.The developme nt and application of distributi on-level phasor measurement units(PMUs)provide further comprehensive fault information for fault diagnosis in a distribution network.When an SPG fault occurs,the transient energy of the faulted line section tends to be higher than the sum of the transient energies of other line sections.In this regard,transient energy-based fault location algorithms appear to be a promising resolution.In this study,a field test plan was designed and implemented for a 10 kV distribution network.The test results dem on strate the effective ness of the transient en ergy-based SPG locati on method in practical distributi on networks.

Research on the adsorption of environmentally friendly insulating gas C_(4)F_(7)N decomposed components on the surface ofγ-Al_(2)O_(3)

C_(4)F_(7)N is considered to be the most potential alternative gas for SF_(6).However,harmful decomposition by-products generated by the discharge or overheating faults will pose threat to safe operation and service life of gas insulated equipment(GIE).Herein,we investigated the adsorption performance ofγ-Al_(2)O_(3)on C_(4)F_(7)N and its decomposition products to evaluate the possibility of using it as by-products adsorbent or exhaust treatment material.It is found thatγ-Al_(2)O_(3)demonstrates superior adsorption capacity for CF_(4),C_(2)F_(6),C_(3)F_(8),C_(3)F_(6),C_(2)F_(4),and keeps stable after the interaction.The first-principles calculation infers thatγ-Al_(2)O_(3)has stronger interaction with C_(4)F_(7)N,C_(3)F_(6)and C_(3)F_(8)than that of C_(2)F_(4),C_(2)F_(6)and CF_(4).There exists obvious charge transfer between C_(4)F_(7)N andγ-Al_(2)O_(3),which belongs to chemisorption.The interaction between F 2p orbital and C=Cπorbital determines the gas-solid adsorption performance.The desorption properties were also explored and the recovery time was in order of CF_(4)<C_(2)F_(6)<C_(2)F_(4)<C_(3)F_(8)<C_(4)F_(7)N<C_(3)F_(6).Overall,theγ-Al_(2)O_(3)is inappropriate to be used as the adsorbent for decomposition by-products of C_(4)F_(7)N gas mixture-based GIE,while it can be used as exhaust treatment material for C_(4)F_(7)N wasted gas.

High‐altitude tunnel‐catenary gap impulse discharge characteristics and breakdown voltage correction

Air gap impulse discharge characteristics of railway tunnel‐catenary at high‐altitude are of great significance to the electrical insulation design.The existing altitude correction methods for non‐uniform air gaps are not applicable to tunnel‐catenary.To investigate the impulse discharge characteristics of the tunnel‐catenary,a typical structural model was built in an artificial climate chamber.Different altitudes were simulated by adjusting the atmospheric pressure.The 50%breakdown voltages of the 300–700 mm tunnel‐catenary gap were tested at 243–4000 m.The test found that the altitude/atmospheric pressure and gap length have an evident effect on the 50%impulse breakdown voltage,and the influence of humidity is relatively small.The polarity effect was analysed by streamer theory.The{d,P,h}parameter method was employed to obtain the fitting formulas for the impulse breakdown voltage.A high‐altitude correction method for the tunnel‐catenary breakdown voltage based on 1 km altitude was proposed.Field natural tests were conducted to verify the accuracy of the proposed method.The results show that the breakdown voltage obtained by the correction method has an average error of 3.66%in the results of the field tests,indicating that the method has engineering application prospects.

Research on multi-time scale doubly-fed wind turbine test system based on FPGA+CPU heterogeneous calculation

As the proportion of renewable energy increases, the interaction between renewable energy devices and the grid continues to enhance. Therefore, the renewable energy dynamic test in a power system has become more and more important. Traditional dynamic simulation systems and digital-analog hybrid simulation systems are difficult to compromise on the economy, flexibility and accuracy. A multi-time scale test system of doubly fed induction generator based on FPGA+ CPU heterogeneous calculation is proposed in this paper. The proposed test system is based on the ADPSS simulation platform. The power circuit part of the test system is setup up using the EMT(electromagnetic transient simulation) simulation, and the control part uses the actual physical devices. In order to realize the close-loop testing for the physical devices, the power circuit must be simulated in real-time. This paper proposes a multi-time scale simulation algorithm, in which the decoupling component divides the power circuit into a large time scale system and a small time scale system in order to reduce computing effort. This paper also proposes the FPGA+CPU heterogeneous computing architecture for implementing this multitime scale simulation. In FPGA, there is a complete small time-scale EMT engine, which support the flexibly circuit modeling with any topology. Finally, the test system is connected to an DFIG controller based on Labview to verify the feasibility of the test system.

Multi-stage Coordinated Robust Optimization for Soft Open Point Allocation in Active Distribution Networks with PV

To optimize the placement of soft open points(SOPs)in active distribution networks(ADNs),many aspects should be considered,including the adjustment of transmission power,integration of distributed generations(DGs),coordination with conventional control methods,and maintenance of economic costs.To address this multi-objective planning problem,this study proposes a multi-stage coordinated robust optimization model for the SOP allocation in ADNs with photovoltaic(PV).First,two robust technical indices based on a robustness index are proposed to evaluate the operation conditions and robust optimality of the solutions.Second,the proposed coordinated allocation model aims to optimize the total cost,robust voltage offset index,robust utilization index,and voltage collapse proximity index.Third,the optimization methods of the multiand single-objective models are coordinated to solve the proposed multi-stage problem.Finally,the proposed model is implemented on an IEEE 33-node distribution system to verify its effectiveness.Numerical results show that the proposed index can better reveal voltage offset conditions as well as the SOP utilization,and the proposed model outperforms conventional ones in terms of robustness of placement plans and total cost.

Influence of thermal ageing on high-field polarisation characteristics and conductivity behaviour of submarine polymeric cables insulation

Diagnosing insulation intrinsic ageing is essential for preventing insulation failure of submarine cables,and in case of failure,helping in any decision about maintenance actions.In this study,a novel aged cable diagnosis approach based on high-voltage frequency domain spectroscopy(HV-FDS)with broader frequency width is proposed to analyse the high-field polarisation characteristics and conductivity behaviour of 500 kV submarine polymeric cables insulation,aiming to support the evaluation of overall insulation ageing.The measurement principle of HV-FDS and relaxation mechanism are stated,and then focus is on studying the extent of change of polarisation and conduction properties of submarine cables insulation as a function of ageing stress and time.Moreover,the high-field polarisation characteristics and conductivity behaviour are discussed in-depth based on the carrier transport and trap properties.Finally,the novel diagnostic indicator based on the high-field characteristics is extracted to quantify the thermal ageing state of submarine cables insulation.Results show that the high-field polarisation characteristics and conductivity behaviour seem to become sensitive diagnostic quantities if measured at reasonably high voltage,which are able to reveal mechanisms associated with thermo-oxidative ageing as that generated in the testing procedure considered in this paper.Sensitivity is considerably higher than that experienced in typical dielectric spectroscopy approaches.

Single-ended Time Domain Fault Location Based on Transient Signal Measurements of Transmission Lines

Precise fault location plays an important role in the reliability of modern power systems.With the in-creasing penetration of renewable energy sources,the power system experiences a decrease in system inertia and alterations in steady-state characteristics following a fault occurrence.Most existing single-ended phasor domain methods assume a certain impedance of the remote-end system or consistent current phases at both ends.These problems present challenges to the applicability of con-ventional phasor-domain location methods.This paper presents a novel single-ended time domain fault location method for single-phase-to-ground faults,one which fully considers the distributed parameters of the line model.The fitting of transient signals in the time domain is real-ized to extract the instantaneous amplitude and phase.Then,to eliminate the error caused by assumptions of lumped series resistance in the Bergeron model,an im-proved numerical derivation is presented for the distrib-uted parameter line model.The instantaneous symmet-rical components are extracted for decoupling and inverse transformation of three-phase recording data.Based on the above,the equation of instantaneous phase constraint is established to effectively identify the fault location.The proposed location method reduces the negative effects of fault resistance and the uncertainty of remote end pa-rameters when relying on one-terminal data for localiza-tion.Additionally,the proposed fault analysis methods have the ability to adapt to transient processes in power systems.Through comparisons with existing methods in three different systems,the fault position is correctly identified within an error of 1%.Also,the results are not affected by sampling rates,data windows,fault inception angles,and load conditions.
