EVs offer substantial environmental benefits but pose challenges to power grids due to capacity constraints. To address these issues, a dual-layered deep learning method, combining Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), is employed for precise EV load prediction. Additionally, a Hybrid Archimedes-Genetic (HAG) algorithm, integrating the Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (AOA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), is proposed to optimize EVCS locations. This multi-objective approach aims to minimize active and reactive power losses while reducing the average voltage deviation index (AVDI). Two case studies were conducted using MATLAB and Python: the first predicted EV power demands, while the second identified optimal EVCS locations in IEEE 33-node and 69-node test systems. Results demonstrate that the HAG method outperforms GA, Particle Swarm Optimization, and AOA individually. For the 33-bus system, active and reactive power losses decreased by 33 % and 33.01 %, respectively, with an AVDI of 0.004. In the 69-bus system, losses were reduced by 19.38 % and 16.76 %, with an AVDI of 0.0014. These findings highlight the HAG method’s effectiveness in optimizing EVCS placement, improving grid performance, and maximizing the benefits of EV adoption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 110545"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453852","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}

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. Then, comparing the calculation result of the main frequency with the test data, the proposed model is verified. 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 results show that with the train time headway decreasing and dwell time increasing, the complexity of the neutral DC frequency distribution increases to some extent.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 110531"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143445714","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}

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}

Usually, each single-phase inverter has a random voltage phase angle reference and a different load power factor that strongly influences the DC bus power quality. To solve this problem, a method is proposed to ensure a minimum power oscillation. The adopted strategy considers a lead controller, which calculates the optimal voltage reference phase angle for each inverter, considering the load apparent power and power factor. A theoretical analysis is presented, and a method for minimizing unwanted components on the DC bus is proposed. The proposed method is based on the correct definition of the AC reference phase of each single-phase converter by implementing a gradient descent optimization algorithm.

Finally, the influence mechanism of power regulation of VSPSU is clarified. The results show that the VSPSU can realize power regulation by adjusting the speed through the frequency convertor.

The regulating parameters of the speed outer loop of frequency converter have obvious influence on the power-speed CRCs of VSPSU, but the regulating parameters of current inner loop of the frequency converter and the governor have little effect. With the decrease of initial speed or the increase of speed regulation amplitude, the power regulation amplitude increases, and the power regulation amplitude under decreased speed regulation scenarios is greater than that under increased speed regulation scenarios.
