Renewable generation from wind and solar is intermittent and volatile, posing great challenges to the secure and economical operation of power systems which requires simultaneous balance between power demand and supply. In this regard, various energy storage, including battery, pumped storage, compressed-air storage, flywheel, supper-capacitor, etc., are recognized as indispensable technologies to deal with the intermittency from renewables and facilitate the low-carbon transition of power systems. Energy storage can be implemented in different parts of the power supply chain from generation-side to grid-side and demand-side, and can benefit the power system operation in multiple time scales from seasonal energy balance to near-real-time stability control.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"9 3","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/7873788/10272329/10272330.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49939875","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, long-term unit commitment (UC) with LTS involves mixed-integer programming with large-scale coupling constraints between consecutive intervals (state-of-charge (SOC) constraint of LTS, ramping rate, and minimum up/down time constraints of thermal units), resulting in a significant computational burden. Herein, an iterative-based fast solution method is proposed to solve the long-term UC with LTS. First, the UC with coupling constraints is split into several sub problems that can be solved in parallel. Second, the solutions of the sub problems are adjusted to obtain a feasible solution that satisfies the coupling constraints. Third, a decoupling method for long-term time-series coupling constraints is proposed to determine the global optimization of the SOC of the LTS. The price-arbitrage model of the LTS determines the SOC boundary of the LTS for each sub problem. Finally, the sub problem with the SOC boundary of the LTS is iteratively solved independently. The proposed method was verified using a modified IEEE 24-bus system. The results showed that the computation time of the unit combination problem can be reduced by 97.8%, with a relative error of 3.62%.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"9 3","pages":"39-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/7873788/10272329/10272564.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49976318","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}

Switching-based power converters have limited working ranges and can cause significant harmonics and oscillations in the output voltage and current. Introducing variable inductors can help solve this problem by changing the inductance without resorting to extreme switch duty cycles. Despite their advantages, there is still a lack of comprehensive reviews of variable inductor applications in power converter design. A thorough and in-depth review of variable inductance control in power conversion is presented, including its significance, working principle, core structure, modeling method, and typical applications. Traditionally, an inductor works in its linear magnetic region; its inductance in a power converter is considered constant, and the converter operates under fixed working conditions. However, a broad range of working conditions is required for power converters in practical applications. This is typically realized by changing the duty cycles of the switches. The working principle of variable inductance is reviewed, and the application of variable inductance control in power converters is presented, which will further help power electronics researchers and engineers design flexible and resilient power converters.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"9 3","pages":"50-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/7873788/10272329/10272566.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49939871","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}

The SPAIM model was developed using a stationary \u0000<tex>$alpha-beta$</tex>\u0000 frame for DTC. The conventional DTC of the SPAIM drive is a simple extension of DTC for a \u0000<tex>$3-varPhi$</tex>\u0000 motor drive that yields higher distortion in the stator currents. To mitigate the large amount of distortion in the stator current, VVVs were used to significantly reduce the harmonic content in the stator currents. Furthermore, to overcome the large amount of chattering observed in the case of a traditional sliding mode observer, particularly under low-speed operation, the MSMO was employed to reduce chattering even under low-speed operation.

Pumped storage power stations can improve flexible resource supply regulation in the power system, which is the key support and important guarantee for building low-carbon, safe, and efficient new power systems. Limited by the current operation mode and electricity price mechanism, the pumped storage power station cost cannot be effectively recovered, and the value cannot be reasonably compensated, resulting in difficult return on investment, single investment subjects, and notable industry development difficulties. According to the operational requirements of the new power system, combined with the various functions of pumped storage power stations, the value of pumped storage power stations in the new power system was analyzed. Based on the equivalent value substitution principle and system operation simulation, a pumped storage value evaluation method for the new power system was proposed. The new power system operation was simulated considering the dispatching model of wind and photovoltaic power abandonment penalties. Under the same dispatching objectives, the output of various power sources and power generation operating costs with and without pumped storage power stations in the system were compared. From economic, safety, social, and environmental benefit perspectives, a quantitative model of the pumped storage power station value was established, covering seven dimensions: asset investment savings, power generation operating cost reduction, flexible adjustment capability improvement, system resilience enhancement, power outage loss reduction, renewable energy consumption, and emission reduction promotion. Based on the new power system operation and planning data for southern China, the value of typical pumped storage power stations was analyzed, and the results showed that with new power system's construction and development, the value of pumped storage power stations is increasing, and the value structure is closely related to power grid characteristics. This value evaluation method could provide references for pumped storage investment decisions, subsidy policies, and price mechanisms to fully utilize the role of pumped storage power stations and promote high-quality development of new power systems.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"9 3","pages":"26-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel7/7873788/10272329/10272565.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49976319","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}

The control of the grid-tied off-board charger is derived from the joint logarithmic hyperbolic cosine robust sparse adaptive filter (JLHCAF) algorithm. This algorithm effectively tracks the fundamental component of the load current in a short duration, providing a good dynamic response. Due to its robustness against impulsive interference, the JLHCAF outperforms other sparsity-aware robust algorithms The cascaded proportional-integral (PI) controller is used to control the bidirectional buck-boost converter for electric vehicle (EV) charging/discharging, which acts in buck operation if the EV is being charged and in boost operation if it is discharged. The reference DC link voltage for the controller is derived by using adaptive MPPT technique. The bidirectional properties of the system enable various functions, including grid-to-vehicle (G2V), vehicle-to-grid (V2G), PV source-to-grid (PV2G), vehicle-to-home (V2H), and PV source-to-vehicle (PV2V) operations. Additionally, the system can supply power to critical nonlinear loads. The control strategy ensures compliance with the power quality requirements set by the IEEE standard, as demonstrated in the results. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed system, we conducted tests under dynamic conditions by disconnecting and reconnecting household loads.
