This situation calls for robust grid partition planning methods to maintain the power grid's safety and stability. This paper addresses the problem of 500 kV main grid partition planning by proposing a partition method based on complex network theory and an improved multi-objective cuckoo search optimisation (MOCSO) algorithm to achieve grid optimal partition and the generation of key channel set. First, a comprehensive reliability indicator system is constructed to comprehensively assess and optimise the reliability of AC–DC hybrid grid based on spatial and temporal distribution characteristics. Second, a grid partition planning method based on the information gap decision theory (IGDT) and MOCSO algorithm is proposed. It can quickly find the global or near-optimal solution, adapt to the change of system demand and take into account various practical constraints. Finally, taking a 500-kV grid in a province of China as an example, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulation analysis. Results show that this method significantly reduces short-circuit current, enhances system stability and provides technical support and feasible partition scheme for scientific planning and safe operation of the grid. The proposed method has high practical value and promotion significance as it achieves an efficient balance between short-circuit current control and system stability while taking into account both economy and reliability.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.70023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A polypropylene heat exchanger covering 70% of the PV-P surface is analyzed for its impact on thermal distribution and performance. The effects of water mass flow rate (FRT) and solar irradiance on cell temperature, electrical power, thermal energy, and efficiencies are examined. Simulations were performed using the finite element method for water FRT of 60, 90, 120, and 180 L/h. Experimental tests validated the numerical results, showing strong agreement and confirming the analyses' reliability. The results reveal a maximum power difference of 30.42 W between the PVT-S and PV-P at 120 L/h FRT. Thermal and electrical efficiencies and system power increase with higher flow rates, greater solar irradiation, and a smaller inlet-outlet temperature difference. A higher FRT results in a lower cell temperature. The average thermal efficiency of the PVT system, between 32.99% and 51.15%, is lower than literature values due to imperfect thermal contact between the polypropylene heat exchanger and the PV-P, along with a limited irrigated surface area of 70%.

This paper presents a novel three-stage FDIA optimization model targeting integrated power-hydrogen systems. The model leverages the interdependencies between power grids and hydrogen infrastructures, aiming to maximize system disruption while minimizing detection likelihood. Using a multi-objective optimization framework based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III (NSGA-III), the model identifies Pareto-optimal attack strategies by balancing conflicting objectives. The case study uses synthesized data to represent realistic conditions in the IEEE 118-bus system, incorporating hydrogen storage facilities and production infrastructure. Simulations demonstrate how coordinated attacks can exacerbate imbalances in power load and hydrogen storage, resulting in cascading failures across both systems. The results show that the power system's recovery time increases exponentially with the attack intensity, while the hydrogen system suffers from slower, more complex recovery dynamics.

AHP analysis used Expert Choice software to achieve the best criterion weights according to life cycle assessment results involving major criteria such as wind speed, slope, elevation, climate zone, air pressure and vicinity to infrastructure. The study further shows that the northwestern provinces, namely Kunduz, Balkh, Jawzjan, and Faryab, have the greatest potential in large wind power plants because of cost influences and wind speed. Altogether, these provinces would be expected to produce roughly 26.3 GWh of renewable energy per year, strongly supporting Afghanistan's renewable energy goals. On the low side, provinces like Badakhshan and Takhar have small sizing capacity with maximum suitability for localised and off-grid applications; Badakhshan has an area of 432 km<sup>2</sup> within a total of 2292 km<sup>2</sup>; Takhar has 217.7 km<sup>2</sup> and has limited potential for utility-scale connected wind farms. However, the GA method, which is known for its accuracy, supports the AHP result for Badakhshan but depicts lower suitability for Takhar. The GA unequivocally points out Kunduz medium-suitable areas and sporadic potentiality levels in Samangan and Baghlan Province. A total of 918 km<sup>2</sup> of the Kunduz area is potential, while 854 km<sup>2</sup> are moderately potential for wind energy. The province of Sar-e-Pul has identified the Southern region as a potential wind energy source-524 km<sup>2</sup>. In total, 1816 km<sup>2</sup> provinces of Balkh and Jawzjan together have the largest wind energy potential of about 14.3 GWh per annum.

Addressing the limitations of these methods, such as local optimality and constraint violations, is achieved through intensive experimentation, utilising stochastic initialisation and a hybrid heuristic-GD multiple-run strategy. These experiments also investigate the effects of heuristic algorithm parameter settings on the optimisation results, identify optimal parameters for each heuristic-GD method, and assess their effectiveness in handling uncertainties in CEVB operational model inputs (solar irradiance, electricity price, and electric vehicle [EV] power demand). Evaluations conducted using actual operational data from an EV charging station in South Australia demonstrate that all proposed methods can achieve global optimal results in fewer than 100 runs with appropriate parameter settings. Scalability tests were conducted to validate the method's feasibility for larger systems, offering valuable insights into computation times as the number of CEVBs grows.

In this context, several economic indicators usually considered in energy industry, such as LCOE (levelized cost of energy) will be calculated. The method was carried out for a floating offshore wind farm composed by semisubmersible substructures and located in the main Atlantic Islands of Spain: the Canary Islands. Moreover, several cases of study with different prices of steel have been calculated in order to know the influence of this parameter in the economics of an offshore wind farm. Results of the three cases of study considered the highest economic variations are related to the internal rate of return and LCOE, with values of −7.6% and 5.4% respectively.

In this paper, an improved ratio method considering the noise interference is proposed. In the method, the original generation method of sweep frequency signals is changed to one-time multi frequency and variable amplitude injection signals. Based on real-time signal processing technology, the voltage information at all tested frequency points is measured at once, including amplitude and phase. Through digital signal processing technology, the influence of noise is weakened, and the impedance amplitude and phase of all tested frequency points are accurately calculated. By the method, the requirements of the measurement circuit are simplified and the frequency range of impedance measurement is expanded to 100 kHz to 12 MHz.
