Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of wind power generation during typhoons at coastal wind farms in Guangdong. This study examines power generation data from the Lingnan Wind Farm during Typhoon Chaba and calculates indexes including wind shear, temperature and pressure change. Results show that the average power generation of Lingnan Wind Farm was 44.4 MW/h during the study period, and when Typhoon Chaba approaches the wind farm within a proximity of less than 300 km, the average power generation increases by 43%. Conversely, when Chaba is more than 600 km away from the wind farm, the average power generation decreases by 10%. The analysis employing a random forest model identifies wind speed at 80 m height, 24-h pressure change, and pressure as the most influential factors throughout the study period. This underscores the significance of surface pressure and pressure variations at the wind farm for predicting wind power output at coastal wind farms during a typhoon process.

There are two ways to increase the module efficiency: boosting module output for the same input energy or by reducing inactive area in the modules. When reducing the module size, the space between cells in a string can be eliminated by overlapping them. However, this overlapping areas can cause critical reliability issues such as cell crack, which can lead to decreasing module power during its lamination process. We demonstrate that this type of cell crack on the overlapping area can be resolved by applying wire flattening technology and developing encapsulation materials with the dynamic sheer viscosity data at different temperatures. The combination of the flattening technology and precured high melting index of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) are the key technologies, which result in less stress on the overlapped area, eliminate the cell cracks, and finally prevent the future potential reliability issue in the field.

Due to the anisotropic nature of the layered schist in the study area, and the varying angles between different tunnel layers and the tunnel axis, significant discrepancies arise between the HC method's classification results and actual rock mass classifications when these angles are parallel. This study employs uniaxial compression tests on schist to reveal its anisotropic characteristics under loading directions at 0°, 45°, and 90° angles relative to the bedding planes. The compressive strength exhibits a V-shaped variation with changes in angle between loading direction and schistosity plane, while the elasticity modulus shows a linear decrease as this angle varies. Numerical simulation experiments were conducted to monitor deformations of surrounding rock masses around tunnels. The findings indicate that as the angle between bedding orientation and tunnel axis decreases, both wall and roof deformations increase progressively. Under conditions of 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° angles, the ratios of wall deformation values are approximately 1:3.73:4.74:5.44:7.7; whereas for roof deformation values, they are about 1:1.3:1.94:4.7:6.7. When applying traditional HC methods for classifying surrounding rock quality in parallel schist tunnels, a low agreement rate of only 13.33% was observed. However, by incorporating adjustments based on scoring criteria related to major structural plane orientations into numerical simulation results—specifically modifying weights assigned to structural planes—the agreement rate improved significantly to an impressive 100%. These research outcomes effectively enhance both accuracy and applicability in classifying layered rock masses, providing reliable foundations for tunneling construction practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"47-60"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://scijournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.70336","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145994011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this shortcoming, the proposed study introduces the experimental verification of the optimal section of the battery-based adaptive reconfiguration (OBAR) technique is verified on 4 × 4 total-cross-tied PV array to reduce the current mismatch. The OBAR is implemented in two steps: initially, the adaptive reconfiguration technique is performed by switching circuit 1 to reduce the current mismatch. The OBAR algorithm monitors the existence of a current mismatch; if the mismatch persists, the switching circuit 2 selects the battery of suitable capacity from a battery bank of three ranges: 0.5 Ah and 18 V, 1 Ah and 18 V, and 1.5 Ah and 18 V based on the current mismatch.
