The Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) with a GPS signal receiver is a synchronized sensor widely used for power system state estimation. While the GPS receiver ensures time accuracy, it is vulnerable to network attacks. GPS spoofing attacks can alter the phase angle of PMU measurement signals and manipulate system states. This paper derives a power system state model based on PMUs under GPS spoofing attacks, according to the characteristics of changes in bus voltages and branch currents after GSA. Based on the characteristics of this model, a detection and correction algorithm for attacked data is proposed to detect GSA and correct attacked measurements. The corrected measurements can be used for power system state estimation. Simulation results on the IEEE 14-bus system show that the proposed algorithm improves the accuracy of state estimation under one or multiple GSAs, especially when multiple GSAs are present, compared to classical Weighted Least Squares Estimation (WLSE) and Alternating Minimization (AM) algorithms. Further research indicates that this algorithm is also applicable to large-scale networks. Full article

This paper proposes an adaptive strategy of co-regulating the three parameters—P/ω droop coefficient, virtual inertia, and damping coefficient—for the virtual synchronous generator (VSG). This approach is able to solve the uncoordinated performance between the virtual inertia and the damping using the conventional adaptive control in which the system may experience serious frequency fluctuations. Through the mathematical modeling of the VSG grid-connected system, the segmental analysis of the VSG transient process is carried out, and the parameter adjustment law of each stage is obtained. The VSG angular velocity change and the angular velocity instantaneous change rate are associated with the inertia to realize the adaptive adjustment of the inertia, and the adaptive adjustment of the P/ω droop coefficient is carried out in real time according to the VSG angular velocity change. A functional relationship is established between the P/ω droop coefficient, virtual inertia, and damping coefficient so that the P/ω droop coefficient, virtual inertia, and damping coefficient are coordinated to keep the system in the best damping ratio state all the time. Finally, the superiority of the proposed strategy is proved by simulation comparison. Full article

The maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control is significant for improving the efficiency of the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). However, for the high saturation IPMSM, the change of the permanent magnet (PM) flux linkage is more complicated, which can cause the MTPA control to deviate from the optimal solution. Therefore, an improved MTPA control method for the high saturation IPMSM is proposed in this paper. Compared with other methods, the proposed method improves the conventional models of flux linkage and torque by analyzing the nonlinear variation of the PM flux linkage with the dq-axis currents. Subsequently, an expression suitable for the MTPA control of high saturated IPMSM is derived based on the improved models. The proposed parameter fitting models are then fitted using data from 11 operating points and incorporated into the MTPA optimization algorithm to obtain the MTPA curve. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method in enhancing the control accuracy of the MTPA angle is verified through simulations and experiments. Full article

Efficiency optimization is an important goal in the design of permanent magnet generators. However, traditional design optimization methods only focus on improving the rated efficiency without considering the annual cycle for overall efficiency improvement. To overcome this drawback, this paper presents a design optimization method for improving annual energy production (AEP) of wind direct-drive permanent magnet generators. Unlike the conventional efficiency optimization method that only improves the rated point efficiency, the proposed method improves the overall efficiency of the generator during the operating cycle by matching the maximum power point trajectory of the wind turbine. The periodic loss model of the permanent magnet generator is established and further constituted as the objective function to perform the optimization search using a genetic algorithm. Through simulation and experimental verification, the proposed method can obtain a higher AEP compared with the conventional design optimization method, and the proposed method can be extended to other variable speed power generation fields.

Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind power system with full power rating converter configuration is especially suitable for wind energy applications. Direct model predictive control (DMPC) has led to more possibilities in terms of choice because of its straightforward concept for PMSG wind turbine systems in high-power off-shore wind farms. However, due to complete dependence on the model knowledge, parameter mismatches will seriously deteriorate the system control performances. This work presents a model/parameter-independent predictive control method with a novel mechanism to update current/power variations online. The proposed method makes use of only two measurements from the former intervals and the selected control vectors to estimate all variations of the candidate vectors in the present interval. Benefiting from this updating mechanism, the proposed method is completely independent of the model parameters in the state prediction. However, it still has a very low calculating requirement and smooth current/power variation waveforms. The proposed method is compared with classical DMPC. The results validate that the proposed solution outperforms the classical DMPC with model deviations, with considerably improved robustness. Full article

The development trend of high shares of renewables and power electronics has increased the demand for new energy converters in the power system, but there is a lack of systematic research on the stability of different types of converters when transmitting power, which is worth exploring in depth. In this study, the power transfer capabilities of grid-forming and grid-following converters are investigated separately through an equivalent circuit diagram and phasor diagram when connected to the grid, and a quantitative relationship between converters’ power transmission limit and short circuit ratio under static stability conditions is obtained, leading to the conclusion that, in terms of power transmission, grid-forming converters are more suitable for weak grids with high damping and low inertia, whereas grid-following converters are more suitable for strong grids with high inertia. The conclusions are further verified by constructing the converter grid-connected models for different grid strengths through the PLECS simulation platform and the real-time simulation RTBOX1 and F28379D launchpad platform.

As forced-air cooling for heat sinks is widely used in the cooling design of electrical and electronic equipment, their thermal performance is of critical importance for maintaining excellent cooling capacity while reducing the size and weight of the heat sink and the equipment as a whole. This paper presents a method based on the combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and surrogate models to optimize heat sinks for high-end energy storage converters. The design takes the thermal resistance and mass of the heat sink as the optimization goals and looks for the best design for the fin height, thickness and spacing, as well as the base thickness. The analytical and numerical results show that the thermal resistance and mass of the heat sink are reduced by the proposed algorithms, as are the temperatures of the heating elements. Test results verify the effectiveness of the optimization method combining CFD simulation with surrogate models. Full article

The timescale of the energy-release process of an energy storage system has put forward higher requirements with the increasing proportion of new energy power generation in the power grid. In this paper, a new type of compressed-air energy storage system with an ejector and combustor is proposed in order to realize short-timescale and long-timescale energy-release processes under the non-supplementary combustion condition and ejector supplementary combustion condition, respectively. A simulation model of the new system is established in APROS software. The results of this study show that the new system can realize continuous power output when energy storage and energy release operate simultaneously, and especially when the ejector coefficient is 0.8 and burner thermal power is 10 MW, the power-generation time is 12.45 h and the total generated power is 140,052 kW∙h, which are 15.6 and 17.5 times greater those of the short-timescale condition, respectively. In summary, the compressed-air energy storage system with an ejector and combustor that is proposed in this paper can flexibly meet the demands of multiple timescales’ power generation. Full article

To enhance the stable performance of wind farm (WF) equivalent models in uncertain operating scenarios, a model-data-driven equivalent modeling method for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based WFs is proposed. Firstly, the aggregation-based WF equivalent models and the equivalent methods for aggregated parameters are analyzed and compared. Two mechanism models are selected from the perspective of practicality and complementarity of simulation accuracy. Secondly, the simulation parameters are set through two sampling methods to construct a training database. Next, the whole fault process is divided into five phases, and the weight coefficient optimization model is established according to the data-driven idea to achieve the adaptive configuration of the weight. Finally, the electromechanical transient simulations of the power systems with a DFIG-based WF is carried out by using the MATLAB/Simulink platform. Compared with the detailed WF model, the simulation time of the WF equivalent proposed in this paper can be significantly reduced by about 87%, and simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the adaptability of the WF equivalent model in different wind scenarios and voltage dips.

The model-free predictive control (MFPC) scheme is an effective scheme to enhance the parameter robustness of model predictive control. However, the MFPC scheme can be affected by the current gradient updating frequency. This paper proposes an improved MFPC scheme for a T-type three-level inverter. First, a novel current gradient updating method is designed to estimate all current gradients per control period, which uses the current gradient relationship between different voltage vectors and eliminates the effect of current gradients updating stagnation. Moreover, a sector judgment method based on the current gradient is proposed. Redundant small vectors are accurately judged and the computational burden is greatly reduced. Finally, simulation and experimental comparisons on a T-type three-level inverter verify the effectiveness of the proposed MFPC scheme. Full article

For high-speed permanent magnet machines (HSPMMs), many design schemes of rotor length–diameter ratios can satisfy the constraints of multiple physical fields during the motor design period. The rotor length–diameter ratio greatly impacts the comprehensive performances of multiple physical fields. However, these analyses are missing in the existing literature. Therefore, this paper focuses on the influence of the rotor length–diameter ratio on comprehensive performances. Firstly, finite element models (FEM) of multiple physical fields are built by ANSYS Workbench platform and Motor-CAD software. Then, the comprehensive performances of multiple physical fields are comparatively analyzed. Finally, the designed HSPMM is implemented, based on one prototype of 60 kW, 30,000 rpm to verify the results of comparative analysis. Based on the comparative analysis above, the influent laws of rotor length–diameter ratios on comprehensive performances of multiple physical fields are discussed and summarized, which can be used as a reference for the rotor structural design of HSPMMs. Full article

With the wide application of motors in deep sea exploration, deep-sea motors require a higher power density and a longer lifetime. Motor lifetime mainly depends on the thermo-mechanical stress (TMS) load on its stator insulation. Unlike normal motors, deep-sea motors are usually filled with oil to compensate for the high pressure generated by seawater, which leads to high additional viscous drag loss. This, combined with the high pressure, will greatly change the TMS distribution and further influence motor insulation lifetime. Thus, the insulation degradation analysis of deep-sea oil-filled (DSOF) motors due to TMS has become important. This paper presents a TMS analytical model of DSOF motor insulation, considering the joint effects of high pressure and motor temperature. The CFD method is adopted to perform motor thermal analysis, considering temperature effects on viscous drag loss. The FEA method is adopted for thermo-mechanical analysis and to verify the analytical model accuracy. Rainflow counting and the Miner fatigue method are adopted to evaluate motor lifetime. Results show that compared with motors working in normal environments, TMS on DSOF motor insulation can be reduced by up to 59.5% due to high pressure and the insulation lifetime can be increased by up to 16.02%. Therefore, this research can provide references for high power density DSOF motor design. Full article

Although many PMSMs are used as the driving source for electric vehicle motor drive systems, there is still a gap compared with the power density index in the DOE roadmap. Considering that the motor occupies a large space in the motor drive system, it is of great significance for the system to increase the motor power density and thus reach the system power density index. This article starts with electrical machine basic design theory and finds the motor power density influence factors. Guided by the theory and considering motor driver influence, this article proposes a high power density motor for electric vehicle integrated motor drive system. The motor for the system is a five-phase interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) with a double-layer rotor structure and fractional slot distributed winding. Compared with Ver1.0 motor, Ver2.0 motor power density improves significantly. In order to prevent damage from excessive temperature, a temperature field solution model is established in this article to compare the cooling effect and pressure loss of the spiral, dial, and axial water jackets. The temperature is checked at motor main operating conditions using an optimal cooling structure. Finally, the power density of the designed Ver2.0 motor reaches 3.12 kW/kg in mass and 15.19 kW/L in volume. Full article

The operation data of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) reflects its geological conditions and working status, which can provide critical references and essential information for TBM designers and operators. However, in practice, operation data may get corrupted due to equipment failures or data management errors. Moreover, the working state of a TBM system usually changes, which results in patterns of operation data that vary comparatively. This paper proposes a denoising approach to process the corrupted data. This approach is combined with low-rank matrix recovery (LRMR) and sparse representation (SR) theory. The classical LRMR model requires that the noise must be sparse, but the sparsity of noise cannot be fully guaranteed. In the proposed model, a weighted nuclear norm is utilized to enhance the sparsity of sparse components, and a constraint of condition number is applied to ensure the stability of the model solution. The approach is coupled with a fuzzy c-means algorithm (FCM) to find the natural partitioning using the TBM operation data as input. The performances of the proposed approach are illustrated through an application to the Shenzhen metro. Experimental results show that the proposed approach performs well in corrupted TBM data denoising. The different excavation status of the TBM recognition accuracy is improved remarkably after denoising. Full article

An algorithm was developed detect the partial demagnetization of permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) under both stationary and nonstationary conditions. On the basis of the recursive least-squares (RLS) method, the vital component of fault-related harmonics in the current could be extracted on the line, and its proportion to fundamental component could be regarded as the indicator of partial demagnetization faults. The proposed algorithm is fairly easy to realize and could substitute conventional and complicated signal processing methods such as Fourier transform and wavelet transform when detecting partial demagnetization. Experiments with inverter-fed healthy and partially demagnetized PMSMs are carried out to substantiate the effectiveness of proposed algorithm under both stationary and nonstationary conditions. At the end, a way to eliminate the impact of eccentricity fault on the partial demagnetization diagnosis is given. Full article

Our goal is to examine the efficiency of different intraday electricity markets and if any of their price prediction models are more accurate than others. This paper includes a comprehensive review of Germany, France, and Norway’s (NOR1) day-ahead and intraday electricity market prices. These markets represent different energy mixes which would allow us to analyze the impact of the energy mix on the efficiencies of these markets. To draw conclusions about extreme market conditions, (i) we reviewed the market data linked to COVID-19. We expected higher volatility in the lockdowns than before and therefore decrease in the efficiency of the prediction models. With our analysis, (ii) we want to draw conclusions as to whether a mix based mainly on renewable energies such as that in Norway implies lower volatilities even in times of crisis. This would answer (iii) whether a market with an energy mix like Norway is more efficient in highly volatile phases. For the analysis, we use data visualization and statistical models as well as sample and out-of-sample data. Our finding was that while the different price and volatility levels occurred, the direction of the market was similar. We could find evidence that our expectations (i–iii) were met. Full article

To reduce the device number per unit level of the existing nine-level inverters, a topology of single-phase transformerless nine-level inverter was proposed. The proposed topology consists of only 10 switching devices and 4 capacitors. Firstly, the working principle of the proposed topology was analyzed in detail, and the comparison with conventional nine-level topologies in terms of device switching loss and conduction loss was presented. Then, combined with one-dimensional space vector modulation, a floating capacitor voltage estimation method was presented by the analysis of the operation mode before the arrival of redundant switching state. On this basis, a floating capacitor voltage sensorless control scheme was proposed, to achieve the balance of the floating capacitor voltages. Finally, simulations and experiments verified the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed topology and floating capacitor voltage sensorless control method. Full article

LED lamps have gradually replaced other lighting sources and have become mainstream in the lighting industry. The research on interharmonic sensitivity affecting their lighting quality cannot be ignored. By deconstructing the lamp-eye-brain module in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) flicker model, a luminous flux flicker model without the constraints of a specific light source was proposed. The test system and corresponding analysis method of the interharmonic-luminous flux transfer coefficient in the model were described in detail, and the accuracy of the test results of the system was verified via incandescent lamp heat balance model simulations. Based on the test results, the conversion method of the interharmonic ratio of LED lamps under the flicker limit based on the interharmonic-flicker limit curve of incandescent lamps was deduced. By testing and comparing the differences in interharmonic-flicker limit curves of different driving types of LED lamps, the experimental evaluation of their sensitivity was completed, and the reference for LED lamp selection, driver design, and compatibility standard formulation in different application scenarios was provided.

A tunnel boring machine (TBM) is an important large-scale engineering machine, which is widely applied in tunnel construction. Precise cutterhead torque prediction plays an essential role in the cost estimation of energy consumption and safety operation in the tunneling process, since it directly influences the adaptable adjustment of excavation parameters. Complicated and variable geological conditions, leading to operational and status parameters of the TBM, usually exhibit some spatio-temporally varying characteristic, which poses a serious challenge to conventional data-based methods for dynamic cutterhead torque prediction. In this study, a novel hybrid transfer learning framework, namely TRLS-SVR, is proposed to transfer knowledge from a historical dataset that may contain multiple working patterns and alleviate fresh data noise interference when addressing dynamic cutterhead torque prediction issues. Compared with conventional data-driven algorithms, TRLS-SVR considers long-ago historical data, and can effectively extract and leverage the public latent knowledge that is implied in historical datasets for current prediction. A collection of in situ TBM operation data from a tunnel project located in China is utilized to evaluate the performance of the proposed framework. Full article

In modern power systems, condition monitoring equipment generates a great deal of steady-state data that are too large for data transmission and, thus, data compression is needed. Therefore, there is a balance to strike between compression quality and data accuracy. Greedy algorithms are effective but suffer from low data reconstruction accuracy. This paper proposes a block sparse Bayesian learning (BSBL)-based data compression method. Based on the prior distribution and posterior probability of the sparse signals, it uses the Bayesian formula to excavate the block structure of these signals. This paper also adds two indicators to the evaluation process to validate the proposed method. The proposed method is effective in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), relative root mean square error (RRMSE), amplitude error, energy recovery percentage (ERP), and angle error. The first three indicate better performance of the proposed method than the traditional method by giving the same compression ratio. Therefore, the method validates the possibility of a more accurate and economical solution to power quality assurance. Full article

With the development of power systems, the power flow problem of transmission line is becoming more and more prominent. This paper presents a power flow regulation method based on phase shifting transformer (PST). Firstly, the working principle and performance of PST are analyzed. Then, the simulation model of BPA multi node system is established. PST access reduces the line imbalance to less than 8%. On this basis, considering the influence of saturation effect and leakage reactance, a PST suitable for 220 kV power grid is designed. Three different working conditions are simulated by PSCAD software. Under normal working conditions and N-1 conditions, PST can increase the transmission limit of the ring network section by more than 20%. When a short-circuit fault occurs, PST can also suppress the fault current. For 220 kV practical projects, unified power flow controller (UPFC) has faster response speed and stronger performance, but PST is more economical and reliable, and the equipment cost is 49.86% lower than that of UPFC. The power flow regulation method based on PST has good steady-state effect. It can improve the utilization efficiency of power grid assets and optimize the power flow distribution in a short time and at low cost. Full article
