For the capacity configuration of EHCS, the traditional method with fixed time granularity is difficult to balance the contradiction between model complexity, computational cost and model accuracy. To this end, this paper proposes an adaptive time granularity-based coordinated planning method. Firstly, the seasonal-trend decomposition using losses (STL) algorithm is used to extract the characteristics of intra-day variation and seasonal fluctuation of net loads. On this basis, ward clustering algorithm is applied to realize the vertical typical day selection and horizontal time granulation. The optimal particle number of typical days and seasonal component is determined based on an improved PSO algorithm. Then, a planning model is constructed to determine the capacity of key devices of EHCS, whose results are used in reverse for updating the particle number of PSO algorithm, so that the optimal combination of time granularities can be realized according to the long-term and short-term operational characteristics of different devices. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified based on numerous simulation analysis. Compared with the benchmark case based on 8760 h, the average planning error is only 4.52%, while the computation time is reduced by 65.13%, and the average planning error is improved by 10.23% compared with the fixed granularity method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 110540"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143464044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the system stability of PQ inverters is affected by different power control methods. Thus, this paper delves into the system stability of PQ inverters with different power control methods under weak grid. Firstly, there are two kinds of PQ inverters with power control, namely the power control loop (PCL) inverter and the reference current calculation (RCC) inverter. Analysis results show that compared with the PCL method, the inverter using the RCC method can eliminate the control loop, but it will reduce the stability under weak grid. Next, the paper explores the influence of inverter system parameters on the stability margin of PQ inverters, providing detailed guidance for the parameter design of PQ inverters. In addition, in order to improve the system stability of inverters controlled by RCC under weak grid, an admittance shaping strategy is proposed through adding an additional current feedback path. This strategy can increase the amplitude of the inverter output admittance in the mid to high frequency range, thereby significantly improving the stability of the inverter system under weak grid. By adopting this strategy, the stability of grid connected inverters controlled by RCC under weak grid can be comparable to that of those controlled by PCL. Additionally, this strategy is easy to implement and has minimal impact on the transient response of the system.

Therefore, it is important to understand the frequency characteristics of TNDC caused by stray currents. To address this issue, this paper performs extensive tests on TNDC. Through the detailed frequency analysis of the test data, the relationship between the main frequencies of neutral DC and metro train time headway is found. To further explain this relationship, a frequency calculation modeling method of TNDC is proposed, in which the traction current along the metro line is innovatively equivalent to impulse and shock frequency signals.

Moreover, the relationship between the main frequency and train time headway is explained and clarified based on the model. Furthermore, the effect of train time headway and dwell time is analyzed.

The value of corona losses is highly dependent on several parameters such as line configuration, conductor geometry, surface condition, operating voltage and weather conditions. International guidelines and standards such as Cigré, IEEE and IEC recommend that corona losses should not be considered when developing thermal conductor models, so such losses are typically omitted when developing dynamic line rating (DLR) applications. DLR is a set of techniques based on dynamically changing the thermal ratings of transmission lines based on changes in environmental conditions (wind, temperature, etc.). To develop accurate DLR models that include corona losses, a large amount of line data is required, including operating voltage, complete conductor information (materials, dimensions, etc.), bundle and line geometry, phase layout, and ground clearance, among others. To validate the accuracy of such models, part of the complete line data, long-term measurements of instantaneous corona losses in existing lines, operating voltage and weather conditions are required. However, the development of DLR approaches and the inclusion of corona losses in such models is severely limited by the lack of experimental work that includes a complete description of all this information. Based on experimental corona losses already published in the literature, this paper uses an accurate conductor model that accounts for radial heat transfer to show that, under certain conditions, corona losses are comparable to and even greater than Joule losses, which are usually the main source of conductor heating, suggesting that corona losses should be included in the development of accurate thermal conductor models. It has also been shown that for conductors in a normal condition, operating in fair weather conditions and at rated line load, corona losses are typically less than 2% of the Joule losses, resulting in a reduction of the maximum current carrying capacity of less than 1%. However, for heavily contaminated conductors, the reduction in current carrying capacity due to the effect of corona losses can be as high as 15%.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 110546"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
