Prediction and assessment of demand response potential with coupon incentives in highly renewable power systems

Demand Response (DR) provides both operational and financial benefits to a variety of stakeholders in the power system. For example, in the deregulated market operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), load serving entities (LSEs) usually purchase electricity from the wholesale market (either in day-ahead or real-time market) and sign fixed retail price contracts with their end-consumers. Therefore, incentivizing end-consumers’ load shift from peak to off-peak hours could benefit the LSE in terms of reducing its purchase of electricity under high prices from the real-time market. As the first-of-its-kind implementation of Coupon Incentive-based Demand Response (CIDR), the EnergyCoupon project provides end-consumers with dynamic time-of-use DR event announcements, individualized load reduction targets with EnergyCoupons as the incentive for meeting these targets, as well as periodic lotteries using these coupons as lottery tickets for winning dollar-value gifts. A number of methodologies are developed for this special type of DR program including price/baseline prediction, individualized target setting and a lottery mechanism. This paper summarizes the methodologies, design, critical findings, as well as the potential generalization of such an experiment. Comparison of the EnergyCoupon with a conventional Time-of-Use (TOU) price-based DR program is also conducted. Experimental results in the year 2017 show that by combining dynamic coupon offers with periodic lotteries, the effective cost for demand response providers in EnergyCoupon can be substantially reduced, while achieving a similar level of demand reduction as conventional DR programs.

Fault detection and identification for a class of continuous piecewise affine systems with unknown subsystems and partitions

This paper establishes a novel online fault detection and identification strategy for a class of continuous piecewise affine (PWA) systems, namely, bimodal and trimodal PWA systems. The main contributions with respect to the state‐of‐the‐art are the recursive nature of the proposed scheme and the consideration of parametric uncertainties in both partitions and in subsystems parameters. In order to handle this situation, we recast the continuous PWA into its max‐form representation and we exploit the recursive Newton‐Gauss algorithm on a suitable cost function to derive the adaptive laws to estimate online the unknown subsystem parameters, the partitions, and the loss in control authority for the PWA model. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is verified via simulations applied to the benchmark example of a wheeled mobile robot.

乙二胺四乙酸含量对M型钡铁氧体薄膜磁性能和微波性能的影响

采用有机金属裂解法在Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si基板上制备M型钡铁氧体(Ba M)薄膜,并着重研究了螯合剂乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)含量对Ba M薄膜结构、磁性和微波性能的影响。研究发现,当EDTA∶(Ba2++Fe3+)=1(摩尔比)时,Ba M薄膜形成较多的六角形状晶粒,而且磁性能和微波性能较佳,沿c轴生长的取向度高达0.91,饱和磁化强度Ms为302k A/m(μ0Ms=0.38T),在50GHz时铁磁共振线宽ΔH为22k A/m(277Oe)。这是因为适量的EDTA不仅在溶液挥发时能够阻止金属离子的分离和间歇性的沉淀,并且能够促进成形成均匀的前驱液,从而在前驱液分解时能促进形成Ba M,在经过热处理后易形成沿c轴取向、具有六角形状晶粒的Ba M薄膜。

频率信号是水轮机调速器控制系统基本的输入量。凌津滩水电厂水轮机调速器控制系统运用了残压测频和齿盘测频2种形式,由于齿盘连接在发电机延伸轴的法兰上,齿盘测频信号对机组主轴的摆动很敏感,当齿盘驱动轴与发电机主轴不同心时会产生周期性旋转跳动的干扰信号,该干扰信号使调速器主配压阀也随机组主轴旋转同步产生周期性的抽动和跳动现象。
