基于网源协同的300MW 机组负荷快调及综合调频技术研究

大力发展新能源和大规模外电入鲁是山东实现新旧动能转换、推动经济快速平稳发展的关键之举,截至017年,新能源发电量和外电入鲁电量已占全省发电量的40.98％,到2018年风电和光电装机容量已达到千万千瓦 级别.但是,新能源受天气因素制约,一直处于随机波动状态,实时干扰电网频率,直接影响人民生活和工业生产, 甚至会产生弃风弃光事件;而特高压直流输电线路一旦出现故障,就会产生巨大供电缺口,导致电网频率突降,极有 可能引发大面积停电事故,造成重大经济损失和不良社会影响.因此,火电机组必须具备良好的一次调频和 AGC等 涉网性能,才能弥补新能源发电量波动和外电入鲁故障造成的频率波动,才能破解新能源消纳难题,为准确应对外电 故障提供数据支撑。     

Design of a 2-DOF-PID controller using an improved sine–cosine algorithm for load frequency control of a three-area system with nonlinearities

This paper proposes an improved sine–cosine algorithm (ISCA) based 2-DOF-PID controller for load frequency control. A three-area test system is built for study, while some physical constraints (nonlinearities) are considered for the investigation of a realistic power system. The proposed method is used as the parameter optimizer of the LFC controller in different scenarios. The 2-DOF-PID controllers are used because of their capability of fast disturbance rejection without significant increase of overshoot in set-point tracking. The 2-DOF-PID controllers’ efficacy is observed by examining the responses with the outcomes obtained with PID and FOPID controllers. The simulation results with the suggested scheme are correlated with some of the existing algorithms, such as SCA, SSA, ALO, and PSO in three different scenarios, i.e., a disturbance in two areas, in three areas, and in the presence of physical constraints. In addition, the study is extended to a four-area power system. Statistical analysis is performed using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test (WSRT) on 20 independent runs. This confirms the supremacy of the proposed method.

酒石酸还原Cu(Ⅱ)制备多种形貌Cu_2O晶体及形成机理

以CuSO_4·5H_2O为原料,KOH为添加剂,酒石酸为还原剂,在水热条件下通过调整相关的实验参数,制备了一系列不同形态的Cu_2O微-纳米晶体及三维十字形枝晶。采用XRD、SEM等手段对不同形态的Cu_2O晶体进行了表征,探讨了不同因素变化对Cu_2O晶体形态的影响。分析认为,晶体生长过程控制了晶体的具体形貌和大小,Cu_2O晶体显露的单形晶面随晶体生长条件的变化而不同。在低温、弱碱性、高浓度溶液中有利于形成八面体形态的Cu_2O晶体,而菱形十二面体单形晶面在高温、强碱性、低浓度溶液中形成的晶体中显露的面积有所增大。     

Silicon-based microelectrode arrays for stimulation and signal recording of in vitro cultured neurons

Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) for stimulation and signal recording of in vitro cultured neurons are presented.Each MEA is composed of 60 independent electrodes with 59 working ones and one reference one.These electrodes are divided into 30 pairs.Through each pair of electrodes,four independent states can be realized to define the accessing modes of neurons cultured on the surface of the electrodes.A total MEA covers an area of 10 mm×10 mm.MEAs are fabricated in a silicon-based semiconductor process.An implemented MEA is bonded on a specially designed printed-circuit-board (PCB) and surrounded by a culture chamber.An impedance measurement has been made to verify the electrical characteristics of MEAs.The surface was modified to enhance the biocompatibility.A series of PC12 cells culture experiments validates the effectiveness of the modification.An extracellular signal recording experiment with acetylcholine (Ach) as a stimulant has been carried out,and the results show the feasibility of MEAs for extracellular action potential recording.Extracellular electrical stimulation and recording experiments have been carried out too.They indicate that MEAs can be used for extracellular stimulation,recording,simultaneous stimulation and recording,and isolation of PC12 cells network cultured in vitro.     

Continuous-variable quantum homomorphic signature

Quantum cryptography is believed to be unconditionally secure because its security is ensured by physical laws rather than computational complexity. According to spectrum characteristic, quantum information can be classified into two categories, namely discrete variables and continuous variables. Continuous-variable quantum protocols have gained much attention for their ability to transmit more information with lower cost. To verify the identities of different data sources in a quantum network, we propose a continuous-variable quantum homomorphic signature scheme. It is based on continuous-variable entanglement swapping and provides additive and subtractive homomorphism. Security analysis shows the proposed scheme is secure against replay, forgery and repudiation. Even under nonideal conditions, it supports effective verification within a certain verification threshold.
