    To address the computational challenge posed by the “curse of dimensionality” inherent in traditional branch and bound algorithms for large-scale power grid unit commitment problems, an optimization method for iteration path search of unit commitment state is proposed. To prevent the loss of the optimal solution due to the simplification of the problem and the reduction of the feasible region, the determination of the unit state scheme is divided into a two-stage process of depth traverse and breadth iteration. Based on an initial solution, the unit dynamic priority list is used as the search direction for the unit state iteration path. In deep traverse stage, the optimal shutdown redundant units and their corresponding shutdown time are determined. Breadth iteration is then used to expand the feasible region of the problem to improve the optimality of the solution. The results of a comparative case study conducted on the IEEE 118 system and ACTIVSg10k system indicate that the proposed method effectively reduces the scale of the problem, minimizes the number of unit state attempts, and achieves efficient search and iteration of unit states, exhibiting fast computational speed, high efficiency, which has practical applicability for solving problems of large-scale unit commitment.

    Microgrids, as one of the effective methods for integrating new energy sources, play a crucial role in the new-type power systems. In microgrids with high renewable energy penetration, the objectives of renewable energy power forecasting and microgrid optimal scheduling may be misaligned. To address this issue, this study proposes an end-to-end optimization model which combines power forecasting with day-ahead and intraday scheduling to maximize the operational benefits of the microgrid. It also provides a corresponding solution method. Initially, a bi-level optimization framework is established. The upper level focuses on training the power forecasting model, formulated as a combined forecasting problem, while the lower level aims to minimize microgrid operational costs. The result of the lower-level optimization is used as the loss function to optimize the forecasting weights in the upper level. Subsequently, a heuristic algorithm iteratively is employed to solve the upper and lower level problems, thereby obtaining forecasting results and scheduling schemes which minimize the operational costs. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method in enhancing microgrid operational benefits is validated by integrating real renewable energy data into a typical microgrid extended from the IEEE 33-node and IEEE 123-node systems.

    Newly built microgrids lack historical operation data, making it challenging to predict renewable power output accurately using conventional data-driven methods, which in turn affects the accuracy of scheduling plans. To address this problem, an optimal scheduling method for newly built microgrids in scenarios with limited sample data is proposed. First, an improved network structure integrating a domain adversarial neural network with a long-short-term memory network is designed. The domain adversarial approach and gradient inversion mechanism are incorporated into transfer learning to improve the generalization ability of the model. This reduces the domain distribution discrepancy in the data, and uses the rich operation data of power stations with similar output characteristics to predict the output of the target station, which overcomes the challenge of poor accuracy under the conditions of small samples. Additionally, the optimal scheduling model is transformed into a Markov decision process and solved using double-delay deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through a case study involving an improved CIGRE 14-node microgrid.

    The electric power industry plays a pivotal role in carbon emission control. Accurate and real-time accounting of carbon emissions in the power industry is essential for supporting the carbon reduction of the power industry. At present, the measurement of carbon emissions in the power industry relies mainly on direct measurement or the accounting methods, which often struggles to balance low measurement costs with real-time accuracy. Therefore, in this paper, the robust power data infrastructure in the power industry is leveraged and the correlation between electricity consumption and carbon emissions is explored to propose a short-term electricity-to-carbon method using machine learning methods based on historical data of electricity. This method utilizes convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for feature extraction, and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) for carbon emission estimation based on extracted features. Moreover, K-fold cross-validation is used in model training, with parameter optimization using grid search to enhance the generalization capability and robustness of the model. To validate the proposed method, it is compared with other machine learning models under the same data segmentation condition for daily and hourly data sets. The results indicate that the proposed model outperforms other models in both performance evaluation and the consistency between estimated and target values.

    In order to address the power demand and voltage control challenges of a multi-energy network of electricity, heat, and gas coupled within an integrated energy system is an urban park, a distributed coordination methodology that incorporates voltage deviation control is proposed. First, operation models for local equipment and power flow coupling optimization in the electricity-gas-heat network are established. Then, a multi-objective day-ahead dispatch model and a local dispatch model for each agent are proposed, aiming to minimize both the overall operating cost and the mean voltage deviation. To achieve this, an asynchronous coordination approach based on preference prior expressions and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is employed to enable distributed scheduling. The integrated energy system composed of a 14-node power grid, a 14-node heating network, and a 15-node gas network is taken as a simulation example, and the accuracy and practicability of the multi-objective programming method proposed are verified by comparing it with the existing multi-objective solutions and analyzing the Pareto front coordinates. Additionly, under the same calculation load distribution, the computational efficiency of the asynchronous coordination method is 16.6% higher than that of the synchronous method, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    Thermal power units face a dilemma of accelerated lifespan degradation and extended service duration. On one hand, large-scale integration of new energy sources has increased peak shaving conditions and accelerated losses of the units. On the other hand, service units will reach designed lifespan before carbon neutrality is achieved, while flexible operation of the power system necessitates extending their service life of units. Therefore, it is of great significance to consider the losses caused by varicus operating conditions on the lifespan of the unit and optimize the operating structure of the unit in scheduling simulation for unit longevity and carbon reduction efforts. To make unit life losses in theoretical research more practical, the traditional model that averages the losses in deep peak shaving conditions has been discarded. Instead, new judgment criteria for conventional and various special operating conditions of thermal power units are established. The lifespan loss cost of the unit is integrated into the operating objective function and the corresponding constraint conditions are modified. Finally, a unit commitment model considering the multi-operating condition lifespan losses of thermal power units is constructed. Example simulations indicate that the conventional model underestimates the actual loss cost of the units. In constrast, the proposed model can not only reduce the operating cost and unit life loss by considering the lifespan impacts of multi-operating conditions, but also enhance the peak shaving capacity of thermal power units and promote wind power consumption.

    Big data related to power equipment condition is experiencing explosive growth. However, equipment failures and personnel errors result in dirty data, having a negative effect on data quality and subsequent analysis results. Therefore, data cleaning is of great significance. Most existing research focuses on direct identification and elimination of abnormal data, which compromises the integrity of the data. In order to solve this problem, a data cleaning method based on improved stack noise reduction autoencoder is proposed in this paper. First, particle swarm optimization is used to optimize the hyperparameters of the stack noise reduction autoencoder. Then, the characteristics of the autoencoder is used to extract and restore the data features to clean the data. The method improves data quality of power equipment condition by repairing isolated data points and filling in missing data, which is simple and efficient for improving the accuracy and integrity of the data set. Finally, the historical operation data of power equipment is taken as an example. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms other classical methods providing good cleaning results for data sets with different abnormal degrees in different running states. The proposed method offers an effective solution for improving the quality of power equipment status data effectively.

    A dual-transformer series resonant converter (DTSRC) is proposed to solve the problem of excessive return power and loss of zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation under light load in the dual bridge resonant converter (DBRC). A dual-transformer structure is employed on the proposed converter, which can significantly reduce voltage stress across the transformers. Additionally, the ZVS operation under light-load conditions is achieved and switching losses are minimized by optimizing the turns ratio coefficient. To eliminate backflow power and reduce conduction loss, a minimum current trajectory (MCT) control strategy is implemented for the DTSRC. Thus, synchronous rectification is realized on the secondary side, which makes the converter always operate with minimum current. Finally, a 200 W/100 kHz prototype is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution. The experimental results demonstrate that the ZVS of all active switches is achieved during full power ranges, and the overall operating efficiency of DTSRC exceeds 90%.

    The detection of partial discharge (PD) in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is an effective method for state assessment and fault diagnosis. The estimation of discharge amount is important in PD detection. The common measurement method is the pulse current method, but it can not be applied online. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a method for estimating the maximum actual discharge based on the quadratic integral value of ultra high frequency (UHF) signal. A method for retrieving the actual discharge of GIS using the UHF signal in a digital model is proposed. First, a GIS digital model, local discharge power source, and UHF sensor model are established. Then, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, which is more suitable for large-scale operation, is used to simulate the process of electromagnetic wave propagation stimulated by discharge pulse, and the simulation data is used to verify the rationality of the method in estimating the actual discharge by using the time integral of the UHF signal. The distribution of the electromagnetic field in GIS is also given. Finally, the factors influencing the accuracy of actual discharge estimate are discussed by comparing with the high voltage test results. The findings provide a solution for the inverse analysis of the actual internal discharge in GIS based on the digital model. Compared to the finite element method, this approach offers more advantages in solving time.

    Very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO) is generated during the operation of isolation switches and circuit breakers in substations, which can affect the safe and reliable operation of power secondary equipment through cable transmission and spatial radiation. VFTO is a type of transient interference pulse which contains multiple frequency band interference components with frequencies reaching to 100 MHz. However, it is difficult to describe the time-frequency characteristics of VFTO interference waveforms by current electromagnetic interference models and experimental standards. Therefore, first, the generation mechanism and transmission path of VFTO in substations are analyzed and a measurement method for VFTO in substations is proposed. Macro and micro pulses of VFTO are measured on the secondary side of voltage transformers during isolation switch operation. Then, a method for the time-frequency characteristic analysis of VFTO is proposed based on synchronous compressed wavelet transform, which can obtain the time-frequency characteristics of VFTO and improve the time-domain and frequency-domain resolution. Finally, a VFTO interference model for substation is established based on attenuated damping oscillation waves and a method for extracting the model parameters is proposed based on difference evolutionary algorithm. The experimental results show that predictions made by the model are basically consistent with the measured results with a coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.85. The proposed model can describe the time-frequency characteristics of VFTO interference waveforms, providing a basis for the development of VFTO immunity standards and the operation and maintenance of power equipment.

    The increasing penetration of the renewable energy has increased the risks of sub/super synchronous oscillations in power systems. Therefore, it is critical to accurately evaluate the oscillatory stability of renewable power systems ensuring the safe and stable operation of the systems. In this paper, a method for evaluating the oscillatory stability of renewable power systems based on frequency-domain modal analysis is investigated. First, the frequency-domain impedance or admittance models of key equipment and stations are established, including the renewable power generators and stations, transmission lines, synchronous generators, transformers, etc. Next, a system-level frequency-domain network model is constructed based on the actual system topology. Then, the oscillatory stability of the renewable power system is evaluated by solving the zeros of the determinant of the loop impedance matrix or the node admittance matrix of the system. The weak points of the system are identified using the participated matrix of the weak oscillation mode, which provides reference for implementation of oscillation suppression measures. Taking the practical renewable power system in East China as an example, the oscillatory stability of the system considering the varying access capacity of renewables under different grid operating conditions is assessed using the frequency-domain modal analysis method. Finally, the time-domain simulation model of the actual renewable power system is built in PSCAD/EMTDC to verify the theoretical analysis.

    The distributed photovoltaic power generation system is widely dispersed and lacks a scientific and standardized operation and maintenance management system. Due to the limited availability of data, it is difficult to accurately detect abnormal conditions in photovoltaic devices caused by fluctuations in weather. In this paper, according to the operation and maintenance status and data characteristics of distributed photovoltaic, a quantile regression neural network (QRNN)-based method is proposed for detecting photovoltaic power outliers. First, the solar irradiance characteristics of sunny days are analyzed, and the influence of rainy weather is excluded by using a sunny day screening method. Then, the power output correlation of different power stations is analyzed to identify the photovoltaic stations with high power output correlation, which is used as a horizontal reference. Subsequently, the curves of the power output of the stations tested on different sunny days are compared vertically to eliminate the interfering factors such as weather and environmental conditions. The measured active power data is fed into the QRNN model to establish the normal active power range for the photovoltaic system, whose threshold is used to detect photovoltaic power outliers. The simulation results of actual photovoltaic system data show that the method proposed can eliminate the meteorological influence, accurately identify the faulty photovoltaic system, and promote the fine operation and maintenance of distributed photovoltaic.

    The active power output capability and small signal stability in weak grids are key factors that limit stable photovoltaic (PV) power generation. To improve stably generating PV power in weak grids, an adaptive control method for PV inverters based on online tuning of the reactive power-voltage (Q-V) droop gain is proposed. First, to ensure active power output capability in weak grids, a “first optimization” method for the Q-V droop gain is proposed, considering voltage and current constraints. Then, to address stability constraints in weak grids, impedance modeling and stability analysis of the PV inverter system are conducted. A mapping relationship between the “parameter-weakest pole” is established with the weakest pole of the closed-loop system as a stability constraint based on the artificial neural network. A “second adjustment” method for the Q-V droop gain is developed at stably generating active power. Combined with the extended Kalman-filter-based grid impedance estimation, the proposed Q-V droop gain adaptive tuning method is realized. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive control method is validated on the Modeling Tech real-time simulation platform.

    Converter interfaced power sources have the advantages of flexible and fast response, and the kinetic energy can be released to provide fast system frequency support. However, most of the existing control strategies neglect quantitative analysis of how control strategies affect the frequency nadir, and fail to effectively enhance the frequency nadir under different conditions. Aimed at improving the system frequency nadir, a frequency support strategy based on step power control is proposed. First, the system frequency response under step power control is analyzed, and analytical expressions for the two frequency nadirs following the disturbance are derived. Then, the optimal reference of power step control is determined by considering the kinetic energy which can be released by each wind turbine generator, and a coordinated distribution of the additional power is realized based on these expressions. Finally, a test system is implemented by using MATLAB/Simulink to verify the proposed strategy in numerical simulation.

    In order to solve the contradiction between lightweight and high reliability in the electric aircraft electric propulsion system, a reliability allocation method considering lightweight constraint is proposed for the first time. An analytical expression between weight and reliability is integrated into the electric propulsion system design model as constraints, and a flexible “weight-reliability” optimization method is proposed, considering the uncertainty of the operating conditions of electric aircraft. This method achieves minimum weight under reliability constraints and maximum reliability under weight constraints. Taking the “Spirit of Innovation” electric aircraft as an example, the results show that the proposed method can reduce the total weight of the power system of the electric aircraft by 3.5% while ensuring the reliability of the system. The applicability of the proposed method is verified in different scenarios designed, providing technical support for the development of high power-to-weight ratio in electric aircrafts.
