However, a complicated phase- and amplitude-compensation method, which is highly sensitive to the DC-offset, is required. A frequency-adaptive dual second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) can be used to replace the LPF, eliminating the compensation link and the effects of the DC-offset; however, strong coupling is introduced between the front-end SOGI block and back-end phase-locked loop (PLL) block, thereby reducing the dynamic performance. To solve this problem, this study proposes an SMO-based grid-voltage observation method with a frequency-fixed dual SOGI and cross-compensated PLL that can eliminate the frequency coupling between the front-end SOGI block and back-end PLL blocks, thereby increasing its dynamic performance. In this study, the phase and amplitude are compensated simultaneously using the proposed cross-compensation method, achieving an accurate observation of the grid voltage under off-nominal frequencies. An analysis of the small-signal model theoretically verified that the proposed method has good dynamic performance. Finally, the superiority of the proposed method is verified through comparative experiments.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"10 3","pages":"37-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10707126","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142397472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, grid-voltage faults are commonly accompanied by a grid voltage phase-angle jump (VPAJ), which is typically ignored in the evaluation of the transient stability of VSCs. To address this issue, this study comprehensively assesses the impact of the VPAJ and key control parameters on the transient characteristics of VSCs.

A hybrid modulation method with capacitor voltage-balancing control for 4L NPC converters is proposed. The proposed method is achieved using three-level (3L) SVPWM and two-level (2L) carrier-based pulse-width modulation (CPWM) based on the concept of “4L=3L+2L”. Thus, it can be easily implemented on a digital chip because the modulation process is nearly identical to that of 3L SVPWM without the more cumbersome 4L SVPWM algorithm. Meanwhile, any proven optimization scheme of 3L SVPWM can be directly applied to the proposed method to further improve performance.

IDBO is compared with algorithm-free reconfiguration and five other heuristic algorithms using two evaluation criteria: mismatch loss and power enhancement percentage, across six shading scenarios for 6×6 PV arrays. The irradiation distribution of PV arrays reconfigured by IDBO is also presented. The results show that IDBO effectively increases the output power of PV arrays and reduces mismatch loss.

This study introduces an innovative residual convolutional network (RCN)-gated recurrent unit (GRU) model to accurately assess health of lithium-ion batteries on multiple time scales. The model employs a soft parameter-sharing mechanism to identify both short-and long-term degradation patterns. The continuously looped \u0000<tex>$Q(V), T(V), frac{mathrm{d}Q}{mathrm{d}V}$</tex>\u0000, and \u0000<tex>$frac{mathrm{d}T}{mathrm{d}V}$</tex>\u0000 are extracted to form a four-channel image, from which the RCN can automatically extract the features and the GRU can capture the temporal features. By designing a soft parameter-sharing mechanism, the model can seamlessly predict the capacity and remaining useful life (RUL) on a dual time scale. The proposed method is validated on a large MIT-Stanford dataset comprising 124 cells, showing a high accuracy in terms of mean absolute errors of 0.004 77 for capacity and 83 for RUL.

By utilizing waste as a substrate for microbial fermentation, hydrogen production can transform waste into a valuable resource, significantly reducing the cost of hydrogen production and addressing a significant hurdle in achieving large-scale production of microbial hydrogen.

Two-stage indirect photohydrolysis has recently emerged as a promising and efficient method for hydrogen production using cyanobacteria and green algae. However, this method cannot be directly applied to organic wastewater for hydrogen production. In contrast, dark fermentation by bacteria, particularly ethanol-type fermentation, is highly efficient for producing hydrogen. Therefore, the combination of the indirect photohydrolysis of algae and dark fermentation by bacteria is expected to significantly enhance the hydrogen-production capacity of organic wastewater, laying the groundwork for future large-scale microbial hydrogen production. This study reviews the main types and technical principles of microbial hydrogen production from waste, available waste types, research progress in the microbial hydrogen-production process, strategies to improve the hydrogen-production rate, and challenges faced during industrialization.
