This type of observer is applicable to model nonlinearities and constant feature gains. However, they are very sensitive to measurement noise, which is unavoidable in EHB. The first novelty of this study is that it compensates for the measurement noise using a filtered high-gain observer (FHGO) to ensure EHB state estimation. The proposed FHGO provides an estimate of the master cylinder pressure, motor current, and rotor speed from measurements of the rotor position. The second novelty is the design of an extremum-seeking (ES) optimization loop to adjust the FHGO gains online. The performance of the developed FHGO with ES-based online gain optimization was highlighted in the presence of model uncertainties and output measurement noise using a Matlab/Simulink simulation. The superiority of the FHGO (even with a fixed gain) over a standard high gain observer (SHGO) was also demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"9 4","pages":"73-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10345658","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139109548","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}

This method utilizes three periodic moving algorithms (root-mean-square, average, and shoulder percentage) to classify the cable specimens into four preparation categories: open-circuit carbonization, under-carbonization, short-circuit carbonization, and successful carbonization. The high-voltage energization time during carbonization or secondary carbonization was adjusted to optimize the preparation of the carbonized cables by considering different discrimination outcomes. Finally, the proposed method was tested on a purpose-built carbonized cable experimental platform, which confirmed its effectiveness in differentiating the preparation outcomes of the carbonized cable specimens and improving the success rate of the carbonized cable preparation.

The main advantages of PMSG include high performance at high and low speeds, minimal control effort owing to lower rotor inertia, self-excitation, high reliability, and simplicity of structure compared with induction generators. However, the intermittent nature of wind energy implies that maximum efficiency is not obtained from this system. Accordingly, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in wind turbine systems has been proposed to address this problem. Traditional MPPT strategies suffer from severe output power fluctuations, low efficiency, and significant ripples in turbine rotation speed. This paper presents a novel MPPT control strategy based on fuzzy logic control (FLC) and model predictive control (MPC) to extract the maximum power from a PMSG-WECS and control the machine-side and grid-side converters. The simulation results obtained from Matlab/Simulink confirm the superiority of the control model in eliminating the output power fluctuations of the wind generators and accurately tracking the maximum power point. A comparative study between conventional MPPT and control methods is also conducted.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"9 4","pages":"107-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10345656","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139109561","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}

A dynamic thermography testing method via transient thermography and Wiener filtering deconvolution optimization is proposed. Based on the time-varying characteristics of the point spread function, the selection rules of the first-order difference image for deconvolution are given. Samples with a broken grid and artificial cracks were tested to validate the performance of the optimization method. Compared with the feature images generated by traditional methods, the proposed method significantly improved the visual quality.

Consequently, traditional thermal power plants must coexist with renewable resources, such as wind, solar, and hydro units, and all-day planning and operation techniques are necessary to safeguard nature while meeting the current demand. The fundamental components of contemporary power systems are the simultaneous decrease in generation costs and increase in the available transfer capacity (ATC) of current systems. Thermal units are linked to sources of renewable energy such as hydro, wind, and solar power, and are set up to run for 24 h. By contrast, new research reports that various chaotic maps are merged with various existing optimization methodologies to obtain better results than those without the inclusion of chaos. Chaos seems to increase the performance and convergence properties of existing optimization approaches. In this study, selfish animal tendencies, mathematically represented as selfish herd optimizers, were hybridized with chaotic phenomena and used to improve ATC and/or reduce generation costs, creating a multi-objective optimization problem. To evaluate the performance of the proposed hybridized optimization technique, an optimal power flow-based ATC was enforced under various hydro-thermal-solar-wind conditions, that is, the renewable energy source-thermal scheduling concept, on IEEE 9-bus, IEEE 39-bus, and Indian Northern Region Power Grid 246-bus test systems.

This has sparked discussions on the resilience of power grids. Energy-storage systems (ESSs) are critical for enhancing the resilience of power grids. ESSs, with their mechanism of flexible charging and discharging, adjust energy usage as needed during disasters, thereby mitigating the impact on the grid and enhancing security and resilience. This, in turn, ensures the power system's stable operation. Currently, there is limited systematic research quantifying the economic value of energy storage in resilience scenarios. Therefore, a model and methodology were proposed to quantify the value of energy storage systems for enhancing grid resilience during extreme events. A two-stage stochastic optimization mathematical model was developed. The first stage involves pre-deployment based on day-ahead expectations, and the second stage involves simulating potential failure scenarios through real-time scheduling. Considering the temporal dimension, the energy storage systems with flexible regulation capabilities was used as emergency power sources to reduce occurrences of load-shedding. Here, a novel index was proposed that quantifies the resilience value of energy storage as the economic value of energy storage per unit of capacity, as reflected in the emergency dispatch model. This index helps determine the balance between the energy storage investment cost and resilience value. Finally, an IEEE-30 node transmission system was used to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the resilience value, with a 23.49% increase observed when energy storage systems were implemented compared to the scenario without energy storage systems. The optimal capacity configurations for the flywheel, lithium-ion batteries, and pumped hydro storage were 10 MW, 11 MW, and 12 MW, respectively, highlight their potential to maximize value in experimental system.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"9 3","pages":"15-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/7873788/10272329/10272567.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49939877","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}
