The kilohertz planar negative magnetic reluctance structure is used to achieve this target with its magnetic-frequency variation property, which reduces the magnetic reluctance of the fundamental component. However, this design cannot be applied to low-frequency transformers owing to the high loss caused by its limited self-inductance and quality factor. To solve this problem, a pole-wrapped negative equivalent magnetic reluctance (PNEMR) structure is presented. The proposed design employed a copper-based PNEMR structure wrapped around the magnetic poles to enhance the fundamental flux and suppress the DC component of flux. Accordingly, the magnetizing current is reduced, and the isolation transformer is less susceptible to the DC bias. The proposed design can simultaneously improve the anti-DC magnetic bias capability, efficiency, and power factor of the transformers. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed design, a 10 kW C-core PNEMR structure-based transformer for isolation-dependent applications was constructed and compared to the generalized structures and transformers with planar negative magnetic reluctance structures. Results indicate that the PNEMR-based transformer can enhance the efficiency and power factor from 96.1% and 0.87 to 96.6% and 0.93, respectively, under full load conditions.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"10 3","pages":"12-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10557491","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142397125","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}

However, the dynamic interaction between the pantograph and the catenary system may become mismatched once ice accumulates on the overhead conductors. More frequent arcing may occur within the PCS during train operation, posing an unpredictable threat to operational safety. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the ability of overhead contact system (OCS) to withstand ice-covered variability during line desgin. A new strategy is proposed to evaluate the adaptive performance of an OCS under various icing conditions. First, a dynamic model considering icing conditions is constructed to simulate the interaction within the PCS. Five different OCS structures with various icing thicknesses are studied. The parameters of the contact force within the PCS and proportion of high-possibility arcing moments are obtained. The dependence of the contact force on the icing thickness and pantograph displacement has been illustrated in the form of cloud maps. Finally, the OCS sensitivity coefficient is calculated, and ice-covered environmental adaptability assessments for the five different OCS oes structures are compared.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"10 2","pages":"70-79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10586893","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141543838","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}

To mitigate this issue, a dynamic threshold-supported algorithm is proposed. A single logic is not supposed to be secure for all cases. Thus, a supervisory algorithm, as proposed in this study, can aid in the improvement of the immunity of the relay during swing cases and be sensitive to symmetrical faults. In the developed stages, a three-phase power signal was used and processed in two different steps: (i) extraction of the effective intrinsic mode function (IMF) selected from the Kurtosis analysis using the wavelet synchro-squeezing transform, and (ii) estimation of the average Euclidean distance index using the absolute values of the decomposed IMF's. The adaptive threshold facilitated resistance to swing situations. At the onset of a symmetrical fault, the proposed algorithm efficiently discriminated among events using a dynamic threshold. The IEEE 39-bus test system and Indian Eastern Power Grid networks were modelled using PSCAD software, and cases were generated to test the efficacy of the method.

When the voltage acts on the anode, the electric field generated by the polysilicon gate strengthens the SCR current path while promoting the release of ESD current in the substrate path. Specifically, the holding voltage of the DG-DDSCR and failure current derived from the test results of a transmission line pulse (TLP) are 29.4 V and 16.7 A, respectively. When the clamping voltage was 40 V, the transient current release of the structure can reach 11.61 A, which met the specifications of the CAN bus ESD window and was suitable for the ESD protection of the target application.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"10 2","pages":"116-125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10586888","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141544080","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}

Therefore, finite-time consensus algorithms and event-triggered control methods are combined to propose a distributed coordination control method for microgrid systems. The DG in the microgrid system serves as an agent node in the control network, and a distributed secondary controller is designed using finite-time consensus algorithm, such that the frequency and voltage restoration control has a faster convergence time and better anti-interference performance. The event-triggered function was designed based on the state information of the agents. The controller exchanges the state information at the trigger instants. System stability is analyzed using the Lyapunov stability theory, and it is verified that the controller cannot exhibit the Zeno phenomenon in the event-triggered process.
