An Efficient Task Scheduling Method for the Unified Interface Platform of the Electric Information Acquisition System

Due to the large and frequent static data interaction between the Electric Information Acquisition System and the external business systems,researching on using limited server sources to do an efficient task scheduling is becoming one of the key technologies of the unified interface platform.The information interaction structure of the unified interface platform is introduced.Task scheduling has been decomposed into two stages,task decomposition and task combination,based on the features(various types and dispersed)of large static data.The principle of the minimum variance of the subtasks data quantity is used to do the target task resolving in the decomposition stage.The thought of the Greedy Algorithm is used in the task combination.Breaking the target task with large static data into serval composed tasks with roughly same data quantity is effectively realized.Meanwhile,to avoid the situation of the GA falling into the local optimal solution,an improved combination method has been put forward.Moreover,the new method creates more average composed tasks and making the task scheduling more effective.Ultimately,the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the experimental data.

Research on DCC Strategy for Grid-Connected Inverter of D-PMSG under Unbalanced Network Voltage Conditions

According to performance analysis of a three-phase grid-connected inverter mathematical model of a directly-driven wind turbine with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG) under unbalanced network voltage conditions, a dual current-loop control strategy (DCC) oriented on positive voltage and negative current is proposed to inhibit the DC voltage fluctuation. Meanwhile, a notch filter is introduced into the conventional control strategy of a phase-locked loop to complete the low voltage ride through (LVRT) ability of the wind generator. A 1.5-MW D-PMSG with a back-to-back IGBT frequency converter was simulated in the PSCAD/EMTDC environment, and simulation results showed that: the maximum wind power tracking was achieved in this system and the proposed DCC strategy could successfully inhibit the rising aging of DC voltage and enhance the ride-through capability of D-PMSG wind generation system under unbalanced network voltage conditions.

Accurate carbon price forecasting is essential to provide the guidance for production and investment.Current research is mainly dependent on plenty of historical samples of carbon prices,which is impractical for the newly launched carbon market due to its short history.Based on the idea of transfer learning,this paper proposes a novel price forecasting model,which utilizes the correlation between the new and mature markets.The model is firstly pretrained on large data of mature market by gated recurrent unit algorithm,and then fine-tuned by the target market samples.An integral framework,including complexity decomposition method for data pre-processing,sample entropy for feature selection,and support vector regression for result post-processing,is provided.In the empirical analysis of new Chinese market,the root mean square error,mean absolute error,mean absolute percentage error,and determination coefficient of the model are 0.529,0.476,0.717%and 0.501 respectively,proving its validity.

Data-driven Reliability Assessment of an Electric Vehicle Penetrated Grid Utilizing the Diffusion Estimator and Slice Sampling

Due to the stochasticity of charging behaviors of electric vehicles(EVs),it is difficult to anticipate when charging load demand will be densely concentrated.If massive charging loads and the system peak profile appear at the same time,it may pose a risk to the reliable operation of power grids.For a system integrated with renewable energies,this risk can be much higher because of their unsteady power output.With load measurements more widely collected,this paper presents a data-driven framework to assess the reliability of a power grid considering charging EVs.Specifically,the diffusion estimator is firstly applied to estimate the probability density function of EV charging loads,which possesses both regional adaptivity and good boundary estimation performance.Then,charging load samples are produced through slice sampling.It is capable of sampling from irregularly-shaped distributions with high accuracy.The proposed approach is verified by the numerical results from the simulations on a modified IEEE 30-bus test system based on real measurement data.

A Blockchain Based Mobile Crowdsensing Market

Mobile crowdsensing(MCS)is an emerging pattern which means task initiators attract mobile users sensing with their own devices by some platforms.MCS could exploit idle resources in low cost,while it has lots of flaws,which impede its developments.First,isolations between different MCS systems leads to wastage of social resources.What’s more,current MCS always operate in a centralized way,which causes it vulnerable and unbelievable.Blockchain is a promising technology which could supply a credible and transparent environment.This paper construct a blockchain based MCS market and design smart contract for its operation.In our design,platform breaks isolation by blockchain,task initiators and mobile users manage their tasks by smart contract and bargain price with distributed algorithm.By this way,resource could be exploited better,and the market could be more fair.What’s more,the paper analyzes Walrasian Equilibrium(WE)in the market,and details how to deploy MCS in blockchain.Evalution results shows that Equilibrium could be found.

Vulnerability Assessment of Distributed Load Shedding Algorithm for Active Distribution Power System Under Denial of Service Attack

In order to deal with frequency deviation andsupply-demand imbalance in active distribution power system, inthis paper a distributed under frequency load shedding (UFLS)strategy is proposed. Different from conventional centralizedUFLS schemes, no centralized master station gathering all thebuses’ information is required. Instead, each bus decides itsown load shedding amount by only relying on limited peer-topeer communication. However, such UFLS strategy may sufferfrom some unexpected cyber-attacks such as integrity attacksand denial of service (DoS) attack. The latter DoS attack aimsto degrade the system performance by jamming or breakingthe communication, which is of high probability to happen inpractical power system. To assess the vulnerability of proposeddistributed UFLS algorithm, the effect of DoS attack on distributed average consensus algorithm is theoretically derived,which indicates that the final consensus value can be estimatedby a given attack probability. It is also investigated that such DoSattack does harm to the load shedding amount and finally affectsthe system frequency performance in the active distributionpower system. Several case studies implemented on an IEEE33-bus active distribution power system are conducted to verifythe effectiveness of the theoretical findings and investigate thevulnerability of the considered power system.

Modification of Corrosion Resistance of the Plain Carbon Steels by Pulsed Electric Current

The fracture of pipelines caused by corrosion cracks and the resulting oil and gas leakage can lead to great environmental pollution and economic losses. These negative effects are due to serious corrosion of the plain carbon steels used for armor of flexible pipe in oil and gas transmission medium. However, corrosion resistance of carbon steel armors has yet to be improved. In this study, the relationship between corrosion resistance and pearlite fraction in the plain carbon steels has been investigated through the application of pulsed electric current. Based on immersion test and electrochemical measurement, pulsed electric current increases the corrosion resistance of the plain carbon steels by reducing the fraction of pearlite phase. Pitting corrosion, which tends to initiate by galvanic corrosion of ferrite and cementite, is therefore inhibited due to the decrease in pearlite fraction(mixture of ferrite and cementite) under electropulsing.

Data-driven Probabilistic Static Security Assessment for Power System Operation Using High-order Moments

In this letter,a new formulation of Lebesgue integration is used to evaluate the probabilistic static security of power system operation with uncertain renewable energy generation.The risk of power flow solutions violating any pre-defined operation security limits is obtained by integrating a semialgebraic set composed of polynomials.With the high-order moments of historical data of renewable energy generation,the integration is reformulated as a generalized moment problem which is then relaxed to a semi-definite program(SDP).Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical examples.

Research on Time-Domain Transfer Impedance Measurement Technology for High Frequency Current Transformers in Partial Discharge Det ection of Cables

We focus on the high frequency current method which is widely applied in the partial discharge(PD)detection of cables.Aiming at guaranteeing the accuracy of this method,we study an innovative time-domain technology for effectively measuring the transfer impedance of the high frequency current transformers(HFCTs).The proposed technology called pulse injection method obtains the system response under the excitation of the wide-band instantaneous pulse signal.Firstly,by studying the working principle of HFCTs,we summarize that the bandwidth of the selected signal acquisition device should be at least 100 MHz to ensure measurement accuracy.Secondly,Gauss pulse and square wave pulse are generated to determine the effects of different sources.The measurement results indicate that Gauss pulse is more suitable for pulse injection method,and the rise time should be under 10 ns to improve the starting frequency of oscillation distortion.Finally,the transfer impedance curves of five types of HFCTs are acquired by both pulse injection and traditional point-frequency methods.The measurement results show a remarkable consistency between two methods.However,pulse injection method requires the simpler operation and lias a higher resolution,obviously improving the measurement efficiency and bet ter displaying the details of the transfer impedance curves.

Intelligent Breakage Assessment of Composite Insulators on Overhead Transmission Lines by Ellipse Detection Based on IRHT

With the development of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)technology,visible images are playing an important role in the maintenance of power systems.To achieve the shed breakage evaluation of composite insulators by UAV visible images,an intelligent fault assessment method is proposed.First,the composite insulators in visible light images are identified by Faster-RCNN.After image preprocessing,the image is enhanced and the noise is removed.Then,a canny operator is used to extract the edge of the sheds.An Improved Randomized Hough Transform(IRHT)is used to detect the ellipses in the edge image.The parameters of the detected ellipse,length of major axes and minor axes,center coordinates and deflection angle of major axes,are used to realize the segmentation of the composite insulator.Finally,the number of pixel points in the ellipse and the distance between the points and the ellipse boundary are used to judge whether there are breakage or cracks on the sheds.The area ratio of the breakage to the whole shed is calculated based on the number of pixel points inside the broken area.This method can be realized without a large amount of training dataset of the specific fault type and provides a technical basis for the online fault assessment of a composite insulator on overhead transmission lines.

Effect of p H on the Electrochemical Behaviour and Passive FilmComposition of 316L Stainless Steel

The effect of pH on the electrochemical behaviour and passive film composition of 316 L stainless steel in alkaline solutions was studied using electrochemical measurements and a surface analysis method. The critical pH of 12.5 was found for the conversion from pitting corrosion to the oxygen evolution reaction(OER). OER was kinetically faster than pitting corrosion when both reactions could occur, and OER could postpone pitting corrosion. This resulted in pitting being initiated during the reversing scan in the cyclic polarization at the critical pH. According to the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, the content of Cr and Mo decreased with pH, while Fe content increased. This induced the degradation of the passive film, which resulted in the higher passive current densities under more alkaline conditions. The selective dissolution of Mo at high p H was found, which demonstrated that the addition of Mo in austenitic stainless steels might not be beneficial to the corrosion resistance of 316L in strong alkaline solutions.

Non-isolated stacked bidirectional soft-switching DC-DC converter with PWM plus phase-shift control scheme

In this paper, a non-isolated stacked bidirectional DC-DC converter with zero-voltage-switching(ZVS) is introduced for the high step-up/step-down conversion systems. The extremely narrow turn-on and/or turn-off duty cycle existing in the conventional bidirectional buck-boost converters can be extended due to the stacked module configuration for large voltage conversion ratio applications. Furthermore, the switch voltage stress is halved because of the series connection of half bridge modules. The PWM plus phase-shift control strategy is employed, where the duty cycle is adopted to regulate the voltages between the input and output sides and the phaseshift angle is applied to achieve the power flow regulation.This decoupled control scheme can not only realize seamless bidirectional transition operation, but also achieve adaptive voltage balance for the power switches. In addition, ZVS soft-switching operation for all active switches is realized to minimize the switching losses. Finally, a prototype of 1 kW operating at 100 kHz is built and tested to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed converter and the control strategy.

Distributed cooperative voltage control based on curve-fitting in active distribution networks

This study investigates a hybrid hierarchical multi-agent system for distributed cooperative voltage control in active distribution networks. The hybrid hierarchical multi-agent system adopts on-load tap-changing(OLTC) agents for the distribution transformers and feeder control section(FCS) agents for the distributed generators(DGs). The objective is to minimize the voltage deviations over the network. The FCS agents also have the objective of minimizing reductions in DG power output. A least squares method is used for curve fitting to achieve the two objectives. The OLTC agent receives voltage information from the FCS agents to evaluate the state of the voltage in each feeder and the distribution network and cooperates with the FCS agents to control the voltage of the network.The FCS agents exchange the fitted curve parameters and basic information on the DGs with other agents to achieve the objectives. The effectiveness of the proposed distributed cooperative voltage control scheme is verified through simulations. Depending on the network voltages obtained by the OLTC agent, different operations are executed to prevent voltage limit violations and to minimize the voltage deviations and reductions in the DG power outputs.

Calculating current and temperature fields of HVDC grounding electrodes

Current field calculation based on the resistance network method (RNM) and temperature field calculation based on the finite volume method (FVM) can be used to evaluate the performance of high-voltage direct-current(HVDC) grounding electrodes.The main idea of the two methods is to transform an electric and temperature field problems to equivalent circuit problems by dividing the 3D soil space near the grounding electrode into a suitable number of contiguous and non-overlapped cells.Each cell is represented as a central node connecting to the adjacent cells.The resistance network formed by connecting all the adjacent cells together can be solved to calculate the current field.Under the same conditions,the results calculated by the RNM are consistent with the result by CDEGS,a widely used software package for current distribution and electromagnetic field calculation.Based on the finite volume method,the temperature field results are also calculated using time domain simulation.

Effects of Al8Cu4Er Phase on Corrosion Behavior of Al-Cu-Mg alloy with Er addition

The effect of Al8Cu4Er phase on the corrosion behavior of Al-Cu-Mg alloy with rare earth Er addition in an under-aging state was studied.The results revealed that the addition Er into the Al-Cu-Mg alloy induced the formation of Al8Cu4 Er phase.The Al8Cu4Er phase can significantly refine the grains during recrystallization,thereby suppressing the continuous precipitation of S-phase at grain boundaries and improving the resistance to intergranular corrosion.Conversely,the corrosion susceptibility of local regions around the Al8Cu4Er phase with large dimension was higher than that of the AlCuFeMnSi phase,but weaker than that of θ phase,resulting in decreased pitting corrosion resistance.

A new insight into promotion action of Co2+ in Ni-diamond composite electrodeposition

A new insight into the promotion action of Co^2+ on both particle and metal deposition in Ni-diamond composite electrodeposition system was analyzed according to electrochemical measurements. The results showed that the addition of Co^2+ made particles content in deposits increased remarkably. The change of particles content in deposits was related inversely to the change of cathodic zero potential with the increase of the concentration of cobalt sulfate. Zero charge potential of cathode was shifted to much more negative region. The negative shift of the zero potential, combining with positive shift of the zeta potential, increased the electrostatic force between the particle-adsorbed metallic cations and the cathode. It not only benefits to the transportation of particles in solution towards cathode, but also shortens their residence time on cathodic surface. Meanwhile, entry of particles is also promoted. For metals deposition,reduction resistance of metallic cations rises greatly and deposition current at cathodic potentiodynamic polarization decreases after cobalt sulfate has been added into electrolyte. These factors are favorable for increasing particles content in deposits. In addition, physical model of diamond particles deposition state before and after the addition of Co^(2+)has been discussed.

Manipulating Precipitation Through Thermomechanical Treatment to Control Corrosion Behavior of an Al–Cu–Mg Alloy

Controlling the precipitation through thermomechanical treatment is an important method to improve the corrosion resistance of Al–Cu–Mg alloys. In this study, the corrosion behaviors of Al–Cu–Mg alloys in the solution-treated state and retrogressiontreated state under cold rolling deformation and then natural aging were investigated. In the solution-treated series alloys, the cold-rolled deformation improved the resistance to intergranular corrosion by suppressing the precipitation of the S-phase on the grain boundaries. The increased pitting potential and corrosion potential were related to the increased concentration of solute atoms within the grain interiors and the eliminated S-phase on grain boundaries. In the retrogression-treated series alloys, the 30% cold rolling deformation stimulated the growth of the S-phase and transformed the S-phase distribution from discontinuous to continuous on the grain boundaries, thereby changing the pitting corrosion to the network corrosion morphology. The precipitation of the S-phase with large dimension within the grain interiors contributed to the decreased pitting potential and corrosion potential.

Study on the thermal decomposition characteristics of C_(4)F_(7)N-CO_(2)mixture as ecofriendly gas-insulating medium

The authors explored the thermal decomposition characteristics of perfluoroisobutyronitrile–carbon dioxide(C_(4)F_(7)N–CO_(2))gas mixture as eco-friendly dielectric medium.The main by-products and decomposition mechanism of C_(4)F_(7)N–CO_(2)gas mixture under different temperature and gas pressure conditions were revealed and analysed.It was found that the thermal decomposition of 6%C_(4)F_(7)N–94%CO_(2)gas mixture starts at about 350°C(0.15 MPa),producing C_(3)F_(6) and CO first.Some other characteristic by-products such as CF_(4),C_(2)F_(6),CF_(3)CN,COF_(2) and(CN)_(2) could also be detected at higher temperature.The yield of C_(3)F_(6),(CN)_(2) increased with the temperature(lower than 450℃)first and then decreased when it reached to 500℃.While the yield of CO,C3F8,COF_(2) and CF_(3)CN increased with temperature(350–550℃).The generation of CF_(4) and C_(2)F_(6) begins at temperatures higher than 500℃,which can be used as the feature component of severe overheating fault.The thermal decomposition amount and by-products yield of C_(4)F_(7)N–CO_(2)gas mixture slowed down with the increase of gas pressure,indicating that C_(4)F_(7)N–CO_(2)gas mixture is quite suitable used at high-pressure equipment,especially high-voltage devices such as gas insulated switchgear.
