Accurate prediction of LWOP is crucial for maintaining the stable operation of the power system. However, the occurrence probability of LWOP is low and the available samples are lacking, limiting the high-accuracy predictive modeling of LWOP. Therefore, a novel prediction method for LWOP under very few samples based on improved Wasserstein deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (W-DCGAN) is proposed here. Firstly, a multi-dimensional identification method is proposed to accurately identify historical LWOP. Then, an LWOP sample generation model based on improved W-DCGAN is established. The model integrates a long short-term memory layer into the deconvolutional layer of the generator to enhance the temporal characteristics of generated samples. Finally, three prediction algorithms are used to construct LWOP prediction models based on both generated and actual samples, respectively. The wind power operation data from a province in China is taken as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This study considers real-time pricing in the case of multiple energy coexistence on the user side. According to the spatiotemporal coupling of electricity and other energy sources and the relationship between other energy sources and total energy consumption, an optimization model that satisfies the actual situation is established. By using the relaxation theory and dual decomposition technology, a partially distributed algorithm is proposed for multi-period coupling and finding the optimal energy scheduling scheme for the energy company and each user, so as to maximize social welfare. In addition, under the background of multiple energy coupling, real-time pricing can guide users to adjust their electricity consumption behaviour vertically and horizontally, change the type of energy, meet energy demand for end users and effectively reduce the peak-to-average ratio.

In addition, all inputs of the proposed converter are separate from each other and it causes control of the outputs to be simple in the wake of the common ground of the inputs and outputs. The proposed converter can work on zero current switching (ZCS) conditions on some power semiconductors (power diode/switch) and decreases the switching and conduction losses. It also makes use of semiconductors with lower resistance on-state (Rds-on). Using coupled inductor techniques and working of semiconductors under ZCS conditions eliminates the total loss affected by reverse recovery of the power diodes, and a passive clamp circuit can recover the leakage energy released by the leakage inductance of the used coupled inductor.

The SLDBI consists of a dual-buck bridge converter (DBBC) and a three-level DC converter (TLDC). The DBBC effectively reduces leakage current in the PPS and prevents current from flowing through the parallel body diode of the power switches, allowing the use of MOSFETs as power electronic switches to enhance power efficiency.

Redundant electric energy can be converted into storable hydrogen energy through electrolysis and utilized for heating purposes. By leveraging the complementarity of diverse energy sources, optimal allocation of renewable energy can be achieved across a broader scope. However, in the current scheduling of multi-energy systems, the efficiency of electrolyser is crudely assumed to be a constant, which results in scheduling solutions that deviate from the Pareto optimum. Therefore, a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser's model with non-linear relationship between the load rate and conversion efficiency is proposed in this paper.

This paper is motivated to fill this gap. By considering the dynamic interaction of outer DC voltage control, reactive power loop, and phase-locked loop (PLL), an equivalent synchronization model of a WG-VSC system is established first. Then, the mechanism of transient synchronization instability is revealed by the combination of equal area criterion and numerical integration method.

To address these challenges, this paper proposes an enhanced nature-inspired OLARO algorithm for PV parameter identification under different conditions. OLARO is improved from ARO incorporating existing opposition-based learning, Lévy flight and roulette fitness-distance balance to improve global search capability and avoid local optima. Firstly, a novel data smoothing measure is taken to reduce the noises of <i>I</i>–<i>V</i> curves.

Moreover, the convergence performance of OLARO is more excellent than the other algorithms. Additionally, the <i>I</i>–<i>V</i> curves of two PV modules under different irradiance and temperature conditions are applied to verify the robustness of the proposed parameter extraction algorithm.
