With the establishment of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics have undergone tremendous development. However, because of the randomness and volatility of wind and photovoltaic power, the large-scale development of renewable energy faces challenges with accommodation and transmission. At present, the bundling of wind–photovoltaic–thermal power with ultra-high voltage transmission projects is the main development approach for renewable energy bases in western and northern China. Nonetheless, solving the problems of high carbon dioxide emission, carbon dioxide capture, and the utilization of thermal power is still necessary. Based on power-to-hydrogen, power-to-methanol, and oxygen-enriched combustion power generation technologies, this article proposes a power-to-hydrogen-and-methanol model based on the collaborative optimization of energy flow and material flow, which is expected to simultaneously solve the problems of renewable energy accommodation and low-carbon transformation of thermal power. Models with different ways of linking power to hydrogen and methanol are established, and an 8760-hour-time-series operation simulation is incorporated into the planning model. A case study is then conducted on renewable energy bases in the deserts of western and northern China. The results show that the power-to-hydrogen-and-methanol model based on the collaborative optimization of energy flow and material flow can greatly reduce the demand for hydrogen storage and energy storage, reduce the cost of carbon capture, make full use of by-product oxygen and captured carbon dioxide, and produce high-value chemical raw materials, thus exhibiting significant economic advantages.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36174,"journal":{"name":"Global Energy Interconnection","volume":"8 3","pages":"Pages 349-362"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144502755","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}

In this study, a method for optimizing the frequency regulation reserve of wind PV storage power stations was developed. Moreover, a station frequency regulation model was constructed, considering the field dynamic response and the coupling between the station and system frequency dynamics. Furthermore, a method for the online evaluation of the station frequency regulation was proposed based on the benchmark governor fitting.

Traditional detection methods rely predominantly on offline tests, lacking real-time evaluation capabilities. Moreover, existing online approaches require additional sampling channels, thereby increasing system complexity and costs. To address these issues, this paper proposes an online evaluation method for submodule capacitor aging based on CapAgingNet. Initially, an MMC system simulation platform is developed to examine the effects of submodule capacitor aging on system operational characteristics and to create a dataset of submodule capacitor switching states. Subsequently, the CapAgingNet model is introduced, incorporating key technical modules to enhance performance: the Deep Stem module, which extracts larger receptive fields through multiple convolution layers and mitigates the impact of data sparsity in capacitor aging on feature extraction; the efficient channel attention (ECA) module, utilizing one-dimensional convolution for dynamic weighting to adjust the importance of each channel, thereby enhancing the ability of the model to process high-dimensional features in capacitor aging data; and the multiscale feature fusion (MSF) module, which integrates capacitor aging information across different scales by combining fine-grained and coarse-grained features, thus improving the capacity of the model to capture high-frequency variation characteristics. The experimental results reveal that the CapAgingNet model achieves a TOP-1 accuracy of 95.32 % and a macro-averaged F₁ score of 95.49 % on the test set, thereby providing effective technical support for online monitoring of submodule capacitor aging.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36174,"journal":{"name":"Global Energy Interconnection","volume":"8 3","pages":"Pages 420-432"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144502760","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}
