However, the majority of data-driven monitoring strategies do not consider expert knowledge. Consequently, they cannot simultaneously monitor statistical and physical characteristics and have poor monitoring results. This study proposes a knowledge-aided adaptive parallel monitoring strategy to monitor the process by evaluating the physical and statistical characteristics using two submodels. First, we propose a novel knowledge-aided monitoring statistic to characterize energy conversion efficiency, thus monitoring both the conversion efficiency using one of the submodels and the physical performance of the wind turbine. Subsequently, the process characteristics covering both steady and varying states can be monitored with another submodel using two monitoring statistics, which can accurately detect unusual behaviors from a statistical perspective. Generally, we can use three statistics to monitor the process from two perspectives. With the physical and statistical characteristics captured, we propose a novel adaptive monitoring strategy to adjust the model performance and accurately detect fault conditions. Real-world experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Among the four monitoring methods, the monitoring strategy aided by knowledge showed the highest detection accuracy.","PeriodicalId":15695,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Engineering-asce","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135717278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a 70-kW PEMFC system model is established, which is validated by the experimental data with the maximum error of the output voltage being 3.68%. Then, a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed based on the PEMFC model to maintain the excess oxygen ratio, the pressure difference between the cathode and anode, the stack temperature, and the output power at expectations. Finally, the simulation results show that the designed MIMO SMC performs better than the conventional proportional integral (PI) controller. When the PEMFC system responds to the dynamically changing power demand, the maximum power tracking error is 4.79%, the temperature fluctuation is about 0.06 K, and the pressure difference is maintained within 10 Pa.","PeriodicalId":15695,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Engineering-asce","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135465232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the differences in output power and start–stop threshold can lead to a significant difference in energy loss and degradation of power sources. Based on the thermostat control strategy (TCS), the state of charge (SOC) of the battery is stabilized within a reasonable range. To obtain the lowest hydrogen consumption rate, the vehicle’s fuel economy is considered in the evaluation function. The artificial bee colony (ABC) optimization algorithm is then used to increase the driving range, and the conventional ABC-TCS (CABC-TCS) is proposed. However, the CABC-TCS leads to many start–stop times for fuel cells. To enhance the durability of the fuel cells, a penalty factor was added to the evaluation function, and a novel optimized ABC-TCS (OABC-TCS) is proposed. Different strategies were tested under federal test procedure (FTP)-72 and worldwide light-duty test procedure (WLTC) driving cycles. The results show that, compared with TCS, the optimized driving range of OABC-TCS in FTP-72 and WLTC conditions increased almost 10.59% and 10.3%. Compared with CABC-TCS, the start–stop times of OABC-TCS in FTP-72 and WLTC conditions decreased by 27.55 and 46.47 times/h, respectively.","PeriodicalId":15695,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Engineering-asce","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136097248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a risk-based resilience enhancement framework against earthquakes that considers their stochastic nature. The proposed framework supports the decision-making of distribution system operators (DSOs) for retrofitting substation components and underground cables to enhance distribution system resilience. The framework consists of four phases, namely earthquake modeling, vulnerability assessment, risk assessment, and resilience enhancement. An attenuation relationship is used to model the earthquake characteristics. Vulnerability assessment includes the failure probability calculation of substation components and a fault-tree method application to examine the seismic vulnerability of the substation. Conditional value at risk (CVaR) is used to assess the seismic risk, and includes the estimation of repair cost and customer interruption cost due to the damage caused by the earthquake, as well as the power generation cost of the distributed energy resources (DERs) used to meet the demand locally. A modified risk reduction worth (RRW) metric is adopted to determine the optimal retrofitting strategy to enhance resilience. The proposed framework was applied to a real distribution substation to examine the effectiveness of substation component retrofitting for resilience enhancement.","PeriodicalId":15695,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Engineering-asce","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135803519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
