The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is a preferred main power source for fuel cell vehicles due to its high power density, near-zero emissions, and low corrosivity. However, it is expensive, and its lifespan is significantly affected by rapid power fluctuations. To address this issue, the proposed method of minimizing instantaneous cost (MIC) reduces the frequency of abrupt changes in the FC load. Additionally, by analyzing driving condition characteristics, the Ensemble Bagging Tree (EBT) facilitates real-time recognition (WCI) of composite conditions, thereby enhancing the EMS's adaptability to various operating conditions. This paper introduces an advanced EMS based on double-delay deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) deep reinforcement learning, which considers energy degradation, economic efficiency, and driving conditions. Training results indicate that the TD3-based policy, when integrated with WCI and MIC, not only achieves a 32.6 % reduction in FC system degradation but also lowers overall operational costs and significantly accelerates algorithm convergence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56142,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Energy Grids & Networks","volume":"40 ","pages":"Article 101548"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142432145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This concept is found under the name of swarm electrification, also known as interconnected SHS, nanogrids, or decentralized DC systems in rural areas. This paper studies the benefits of such interconnected SHS for a case study in the indigenous rural Highlands of Bolivia, an area called Raqaypampa. Our study emphasizes analyzing the energy sharing setpoints for the decentralized battery control and how the choice of these values influences energy distribution in the community. We draw concepts of energy justice into our discussion to evaluate different combinations of battery state of charge setpoints. Our study finds four types of households in Raqaypampa based on their demand for electricity. The modeled and simulated results of a potential energy sharing through interconnected SHS reveal three outcomes for the households based on the battery state of charge setpoints: Outcome I — Improving households, Outcome II — Depending households, and Outcome III — Deteriorating households.

Scattered attack points and complex attack features hinder the elimination of potential threats. In this context, an FDIA fast detection and pinpoint localization framework is proposed. This framework identifies abnormal signals and attacked nodes from the unique topology structure and status contiguity of smart distribution networks, namely, spatial-temporal correlations of power grids, by using a cluster partition-fuzzy broad learning system (CP-FBLS). Unlike most existing FDIA detection methods, which are dedicated to high accuracy but neglect the urgent need for rapid detection in smart distribution networks, the proposed CP-FBLS framework maintains the fast computational nature of a fuzzy broad learning system (FBLS), while avoiding the accuracy degradation caused by high-dimension of data in large-scale smart distribution networks. Moreover, the multi-layer structure of the proposed framework recognizes the location of FDIA, bridging the research gap of attack localization. To comprehensively evaluate the proposed strategy, datasets containing various FDIA types are constructed. Numerical simulations based on the above datasets in modified IEEE 34-bus and 123-bus distribution systems are implemented.

A tri-level robust WPI (RWPI) model is established, the first level of which is to minimize the investment cost plus the worst-case loss. In the second level, the worst-case loss (also known as the maximum regret) is identified by maximizing the minimum value of minus profit over the uncertainty sets. The third level maximizes the wind farm profit. Since the profit calculation requires the determination of the locational marginal price (LMP), the third level constitutes bi-level programming, with the upper level being the profit maximization and the lower level being the market clearing process. First, Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions are applied to convert the bi-level model to a single-level model, resulting in an ARO with binary variables at the third level.
