Enhancing stability region of time‐delayed smart power grids by non‐integer controllers

In this study, the impacts of non‐integer order controller on the stable parameter space of the microgrid (MG) frequency control system with fixed communication time delay are investigated and discussed with the help of the stability boundary locus (SBL) method. This study proposes a non‐integer order controller for the load frequency control (LFC) of the MG systems. To that end, the load frequency model of the MG is formulated and then the characteristic equations of this model are obtained. Then, with the help of this characteristic equation, the stable parameter space of the non‐integer controller is determined with regard to different time delay (τ ) and fractional integral order values (α ) using the SBL method. In order to show the accuracy of the obtained stable parameter space, time domain and generalized modified Mikhailov (GMM) criterion studies are carried out for different values of (τ ) and (α ). According to the results obtained, the areas of stable parameter space according to different α values and τ = 1.6 are calculated as 444.8860 for α = 0.4 , 342.9728 for α = 0.7 , 259.3578 for α = 1 , 216.2541 for α = 1.3 and 159.6826 for α = 1.6 . In addition, the areas of stable parameter space according to different τ values and α = 1.4 are calculated as 784.5222 for τ = 1 , 106.3219 for τ = 2 , 29.6959 for τ = 3 and 11.5946 for τ = 4 . Despite the extreme variability arising from nature of resources that make up the MG, the designed non integer order controller with the values selected within the stable parameter space stably carries out LFC control of the MG.     

基于多参数特征保留的载荷谱加速耐久性编辑

为了得到时间更短加载效果相同的加速耐久性试验载荷谱,提出了基于多参数特征保留的载荷谱编辑方法。该方法同时考虑载荷谱的损伤、功率谱密度以及统计参数等信息,对零部件载荷谱的时间进行压缩。以汽车悬架螺旋弹簧的载荷谱为例,采用该方法进行缩减,同时从多个参数特征方面与传统的基于损伤保留的编辑方法所得到的载荷谱进行对比。为了进一步验证编辑效果,采用编辑谱和原始谱对弹簧进行疲劳仿真。结果表明,该方法能够有效缩短汽车零部件的载荷谱,可得到与原始载荷谱具有相同加载效果的编辑载荷谱。

为了提高对称消声器传递损失的测量效率，基于声学理论分析，提出了一种单负载法传递损失计算模型。针对反射系数较大的吸声末端，导致该方法在实际测量中存在较大误差的问题，推导出了一种能够消除测试管道末端反射声波在上、下游形成多次反射的修正公式。通过自制阻抗管进行试验测试，结果表明：在末端声学负载吸声性能良好的情况下，单负载法传递损失计算模型能够精确计算出对称消声器的传递损失；修正公式能够有效地消除末端负载所引起的反射波对传递损失计算的影响，降低对末端声学负载吸声性能的要求，保证单负载传递损失计算模型的适用性。     

Analysis of Radio over Fiber system for mitigating four-wave mixing effect

In this paper, an efficient 8-channel 32Gbps RoF (Radio over Fiber) system incorporating Bessel Filter (8/32 RoF-BF) has been demonstrated to reduce the impact of non-linear transmission effects, specifically Four-Wave Mixing (FWM). The simulation results indicate that the proposed 8/32 RoF-BF system provides an optimum result w.r.t. channel spacing (75 GHz), input source power (0 dBm) and number of input channels (8). In comparison with the existing RoF system, the proposed 8/32 RoF-BF system has been validated analytically and it is found that the performance of the proposed system is in close proximity particularly in FWM sideband power reduction of the order of 4 dBm for the 8-channel 32Gbps RoF system.     

球磨过程中介质群运动区域划分方法研究

球磨过程中介质群运动状态变化对物料的破碎效率影响极大，通过对介质群运动状态进行区域划分，探究不同球磨工况下的介质群运动区域特征更能有效揭示介质群对物料的破碎方式和有效破碎区域。针对理论划分介质群运动区域过于理想、单一，试验追踪法成本过高的问题，提出了一种介质群运动区域划分的新方法-EDEM网格划分法。首先把筒体的横截面划分为若干个微元，利用数理统计的方法得到介质群位置概率分布函数，获取介质群运动速度区域分布图和碰撞特性区域分布图。然后给出了回转运动、螺旋运动及复合颤振运动三种工况下介质群运动区域的划分实例，并与试验追踪法对比，验证了EDEM网格划分法的准确性和有效性。最后通过粉磨试验中进料的破碎速率和微细颗粒产率探讨了介质群运动区域特性对颗粒的破碎方式和有效破碎区域的影响效果。本研究为优化球磨过程的影响因素和操作参数提供了一种快捷、有效的方法。     

链条套筒与销轴铰链副冲击载荷-往复运动的弹流润滑数值模拟

数值模拟链传动中销轴与套筒之间的定载荷和变载荷弹流润滑接触问题,套筒相对于销轴做纯滑动往复运动。定载荷是假定往复运动过程中载荷恒定不变;变载荷是假定链节在啮入和啮出链轮过程中存在的冲击载荷按正弦函数规律变化。比较在定载荷和变载荷加载条件下线接触往复运动工况的弹性润滑油膜变化情况,分析在动载荷加载条件下不同行程长度对弹性流体动力润滑特性的影响。研究发现,动载荷对油膜的压力、膜厚影响较大:随着动载荷的增加,油膜中压力急剧增大,膜厚减小;但加载方式对摩擦因数的影响不大;在相同的加载方式下,随着行程长度的增加,油膜压力减小,中心膜厚和最小膜厚显著增加。     

A review on the features and technologies for energy efficiency of smart grid

In today's world striving for efficiency in every sector, especially power generation and distribution, smart grids emerge as the solution for efficiently meeting the increasing demand. They adjust themselves to optimally deliver energy at the lowest cost and highest quality possible. The grid successfully makes use of renewable energy resources, electric vehicles, and smart pricing techniques in its attempt to achieve energy efficiency. It also promotes a greener environment by striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Information communication technology (ICT) helps the grid in collecting consumption data from the consumers and in sharing tariff information. ICT also helps to gather information about the status of the grid with regard to aspects like power quality, faults etc. The purpose of this paper is to review recent literature with a view to comprehensively present the technologies employed in the smart grid for achieving energy efficiency and the challenges involved therein.     

Lubricating and physico-chemical properties of CI- 4 plus engine oil dispersed with surface modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes

This paper studies the effect of surface modification of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) prior to dispersion in engine oil to improve the tribological properties. The MWCNTs are stabilised in the lubricant with two different surfactants cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) and sorbitan monooleate (SPAN 80) and the effect of surfactants on the tribological properties has been studied. Pristine and surface modified MWCNTs in weight per cent range of 0·5% are dispersed in CI4 plus diesel engine oil. The foaming tendency and other physico-chemical properties of test lubricant have been studied to investigate the effect of nano materials and surfactants. The anti-wear and anti-friction properties are tested on a four ball wear tester and the comparison is made to assess the relative performance of pristine MWCNTs over surface modified MWCNTs. A strong influence of the surface modification technique is found on lubricating and physico-chemical properties. Both CTAB and SPAN 80 could keep the MWCNTs stable in the lubricant without compromising the foaming tendency of lubricant and other physico-chemical properties. The friction and wear characteristics of lubricants have improved with the dispersion of surface modified MWCNTs while there is no improvement in the properties of lubricant dispersed with pristine MWCNTs.
