Aggregation Optimization Method For Offshore Wind-Thermal-Storage Systems Based On Membership Degree Analysis, Da Xie, Zhou Tian, Yu Zhang, Yuchuan Wang

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

To address the collaborative optimization of offshore wind-thermal-storage systems, this paper proposes an aggregation optimization method based on membership degree analysis. The proposed method enables dynamic resource aggregation and flexible scheduling by modeling and optimizing offshore wind farms, thermal power plants, and energy storage systems. Specifically, the aggregation set is generated using the Cartesian product, and initial aggregation schemes are filtered by introducing constraint conditions. A comprehensive evaluation is then conducted using membership degree analysis across three dimensions: wind power accommodation rate, economic benefit, and coordinated frequency regulation capability of thermal power. Simulation results demonstrate that the optimized aggregation configuration …

Static Voltage Stability Assessment Of Power Systems Based On Mwmote And Ssa-Kelm, Songkai Liu, Jun Cao, Pan Su, Kun Gao, Yuheng Wu, Ming Wan, Di Ai

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The static voltage stability assessment method of a power system based on data drive usually has the problem of an unbalanced sample category in the initial data, which makes the performance of the data-driven assessment model greatly affected. Therefore, a static voltage stability assessment method of a power system is proposed based on the majority weighted minority oversampling technique (MWMOTE) and sparrow search algorithm-kernel extreme learning machine (SSA-KELM ) . First, MWMOTE is used to solve the problem of an unbalanced sample category and increase sample diversity. Then, the KELM model parameters are optimized by using SSA, and the static …

Prediction Of Transmission Line Icing In Micrometeorological Areas Based On Rf-Gswoa-Svrm, Wei Zhang, Xingjie Liu, Rui Huang, Yizhou Rao, Jianning Liu, Dan Chen

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The transmission lines in the micrometeorological area are more prone to icing, so it is extremely destructive to the safe operation of the power grid system. In view of the characteristics that icing monitoring data in micrometeorological areas is scarce, and interference is strong, RF-GSWOA-SVRM, a prediction method for transmission line icing in micrometeorological areas based on random forest (RF), global search whale optimization algorithm (GSWOA), and support vector regression machine (SVRM), is proposed to improve the accuracy of icing prediction. Firstly, the RF algorithm is used to extract the correlation between transmission line icing and micrometeorological data, thereby reducing …

Phase Selection Capacity Recovery Strategy For Full-Scale New Energy Grid Based On Coordinated Control And Protection, Lin Zhang, Hongbin Wang, Xun Chen, Xiangning Lin, Zhengtian Li, Fanrong Wei

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The negative-sequence suppression control strategy and low-voltage ride-through control strategy are adopted when the inverter-based power supply fails, which leads to a serious inequality between the distribution coefficients of positive- and negative-sequence currents at the energy storage station side in a full-scale new energy system, resulting in incorrect phase selection of the phase current difference mutation element. Based on the fault sequence component network, the constraint condition for the correct phase selection of the phase current difference mutation element is derived. A phase selection performance recovery scheme based on fault component regulation is proposed, which can eliminate the degradation of …

Stability Analysis Of Fractional-Frequency Offshore Wind Power System Based On Lyapunov Energy Function, Yumeng Jiang, Peiyang He, Ruanming Huang, Wei Xie, Chen Qian, Boyang Zhao, Yongqing Meng

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The fractional-frequency transmission method has become an important solution for large-scale long-distance offshore wind power collection and transmission due to its advantages in transmission losses and construction costs compared with power frequency and direct current transmission methods. However, the stability research of fractional-frequency offshore wind power systems, especially the analysis under the background of typical large disturbances in system operation, is lacking. A high-order nonlinear state space model of the fractional-frequency offshore wind power system is proposed, and the sector-based nonlinear method is used to deal with the high-order nonlinear part of the model; the Lyapunov energy function of the …

Wide-Band Oscillation Analysis Method For Grid-Connected Distributed Photovoltaics With High Penetration Rate, Di Zhang, Mingyang Liu, Junpeng Chen, Ze Gao, Hua Wang, Haoyu Tan, Shihong Miao

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

With the continuous increase in the penetration rate of distributed photovoltaics (PV) in the distribution network, the impact of power electronic equipment represented by grid-connected inverters on the power grid is increasing, and the risk of wide-band oscillation in the power grid is intensifying. However, few existing studies have proposed wide-band oscillation stability criteria to meet the safe operation of grid-connected distributed PV with a high penetration rate, so that effective suppression measures cannot be taken. In view of this, an analysis method for wide-band oscillation under grid-connected distributed PV with a high penetration rate based on the equivalent model …

A Distributed Photovoltaic Power Anomaly Perception Method Based On Kpca-Optics Clustering, Sheng Su, Xiong Li, Zhiqiang Li, Changjiang Wu, Zhuo Peng

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

In response to the lack of professional monitoring and difficulty in accurately locating abnormal sites in distributed photovoltaic power stations, a distributed photovoltaic power anomaly perception method is proposed based on kernel principal component analysis-ordering points to identify the clustering structure (KPCA-OPTICS) clustering, with the help of the similarity and correlation of nearby distributed photovoltaic power station output. Firstly, based on the output data of photovoltaic power stations, the OPTICS clustering algorithm is used to cluster multiple power stations. The KPCA is then employed to perform dimensionality reduction on the clustering data to lower the influence of high-dimensional data on …

Evaluation Of Impact Of High-Energy-Consuming Industries On Carbon Emissions And Carbon Market Based On Neural Ode-Cge Model, Chengjun Huo, Xueting Cheng, Jinkui Liu, Peng Zou, Jun Wan, Jia Wu

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

High-energy-consuming industries represent the primary source of carbon emissions in China, which makes the reduction of their carbon emissions a critical priority for the country's carbon emission reduction efforts. However, due to the lack of robust carbon emission constraint mechanisms targeting these industries, their motivation for emission reduction remains significantly insufficient. To address this issue, this paper proposes a simulation method that integrates neural ordinary differential equations (Neural ODE) with a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. Using input-output data from 2022 at the national and provincial levels, this method constructs a baseline scenario and three emission reduction scenarios to assess …

Optimization Of Lightning Impulse Grounding Performance Of Claw-Shaped Tower Grounding Device, Zhanglei Chen, Tingfang Yang, Chao Zhuo, Gaojia Li, Minghao Feng, Xiong Li

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

Transmission line towers are prone to lightning strikes. When the grounding resistance of a tower is too high, the fault rate of the line is increased. To effectively reduce the lightning impulse grounding resistance of typical grounding devices and guide the grounding design of transmission line towers, a composite grounding device consisting of a typical tower foundation combined with a claw-shaped grounding body is proposed. A model of the claw-shaped grounding device is established using CDEGS software, and its time-domain impulse response characteristics are analyzed while considering the soil spark effect. Quantitative comparisons of the impulse grounding resistance of the …

Anomaly Sound Detection Of High-Voltage Shunt Reactors Based On Soft-Constrained Latent Regularized Adversarial Learning, Zhihong Wang, Fuqiang Xiong, Jiawen Zuo, Mingzhu Tang, Jianjun Zhang, Xingyu Tang

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

With the widespread application of high-voltage shunt reactors in power systems, abnormal phenomena arising during their operation have attracted increasing attention. In existing latent regularization adversarial anomaly detection (LRAAD) methods, the hyperparameter M imposes a hard constraint on the upper bound of the KL divergence of generator-produced spectrograms, which hampers the model's ability to effectively distinguish normal from abnormal data in the latent space, leading to training instability and degraded anomaly detection performance. To address this issue, this paper proposes a soft-constrained latent regularization adversarial anomaly detection (Soft-LRAAD) method. The proposed method introduces a soft constraint loss to replace the …

Research On Detection And Localization Of Defect Discharge In Switchgear Based On Fusion Of Acoustic Array, Ultra-High Frequency, Andtransient Earth Voltage, Yingjing Chen, Shenjiong Yao, Jialuo Chai, Tongtong Lu, Bintong Li, Zhousheng Zhang

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

To achieve efficient classification and three-dimensional (3D) localization of partial discharge (PD) in switchgear, an integrated circular array sensor combining three types of signals, namely transient earth voltage (TEV), ultra-high frequency (UHF), and acoustic array (AA), is designed. A multimodal fusion classification model and an improved nonlinear crested porcupine optimizer (CPO) algorithm are proposed. First, a sensor system with multi-channel acquisition capability is constructed through structural integration and performance testing. Second, a neural network model is built based on nine-dimensional time-frequency domain features to achieve accurate classification of multiple types of discharge defects. Finally, a time delay extraction method combining …

Depression, Education, And Quality Of Life In Women With Endometriosis, Ria N. Gajar

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic condition associated with substantial physical, psychological, and social burden, and depressive symptoms are consistently linked to poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among affected women. However, limited population-based research has examined how depressive symptoms intersect with social factors. Guided by Engel’s biopsychosocial model, nationally representative data from the 2005–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)—the most recent cycle to include an item on endometriosis diagnosis—were analyzed among U.S. women with self-reported endometriosis (N = 4,137). Complex samples logistic regression models were used to examine associations between depressive symptoms and HRQoL across general, physical, and …

From Presumed Intent To Programmed Performance: Smart Contracts And The Future Of Contract Law, Amir Bushansky

Cleveland State Law Review

Smart contracts—self-executing agreements operating on decentralized blockchain networks—challenge the fundamental assumptions underlying traditional contract law. This Article challenges the prevailing scholarly approach that seeks to reshape smart contracts to fit existing doctrinal frameworks. Instead, it argues for adapting contract law itself to better accommodate smart contracts, given their unique advantages in cyberspace. Building on two complementary premises—that contract law primarily operates as “mimicking law,” reflecting the presumed expectations and preferences of contracting parties, and that default rules function as behavioral reference points that shape party behavior—the Article develops a positive theory predicting the expectations and preferences of parties entering into …

Valentine Act And Sherman Act: Separate And Distinct Antitrust Regimes, Thomas J. Collin

Cleveland State Law Review

The Ohio Supreme Court has held that the Valentine Act was patterned after the Sherman Act and should be interpreted in light of federal court interpretations of the Sherman Act. The Court was wrong, and its error persists. With the exception of a private right of action provision and a borrowed definition, nothing in the Valentine Act was derived from the Sherman Act. The holding ignores text and legislative history and has foreclosed development of any independent jurisprudence for a statute intended by the General Assembly to address grave antitrust abuses. This Article analyzes the Court’s error, details the origins …

The Taxing Ambiguity: Defining "Return" In Bankruptcy Dischargeability Cases, Elizabeth Tsai

Cleveland State Law Review

This Note examines the circuit split over the dischargeability of tax debts tied to late-filed returns, which has led to inconsistent bankruptcy outcomes and inequitable treatment of debtors across jurisdictions. Some courts, adopting the strict “one-day-late” rule, hold that any tax return filed even a single day past its deadline is not a “return” for bankruptcy discharge purposes, permanently barring relief. Others apply a more flexible standard grounded in the Beard test, considering a debtor’s good-faith compliance efforts. This inconsistency contradicts the fresh start principle of bankruptcy law, disproportionately harms low-income debtors, and fails to serve the government’s tax collection …

The Fallacies Of Originalism: Why Treating History And Tradition Alone As Dispositive Is Not Superior To The Tiers Of Scrutiny, Gage A. Johnson

Cleveland State Law Review

The goal of this Article is to develop the current history and tradition standard. I argue that the Bruen use of history and tradition is not a more principled or better way of interpreting the Constitution than the infamous tiers of scrutiny. This argument is supported by analyzing the way the Court has used history and tradition in reviewing restrictions on the Second Amendment and the push for it to be used under the First Amendment. I argue that Justice Thomas’s rigid application of history and tradition is essentially an ends-justifying-the-means analysis that is no different than the so called …

Supervising The Omnipresent Casino: Evaluating The Role Of State And Local Regulation In Stemming Youth Addiction To Sports Gambling, Matthew Connor Flink

Duke Law Journal

Since 2018, state legalization of sports betting and the industry’s corresponding proliferation has driven an epidemic of youth addiction. Current state legislation and regulations do little to combat youth addiction. Many legal scholars emphasize the value that a federal regulatory regime would provide to reign in youth sports betting. This Note explores the value that state and local government can have in the sports gambling space. To illustrate the unique importance of state and local legislation and regulation of sports betting, this Note analogizes to another addictive product with a history of youth addiction: nicotine.

Nicotine has been a regulatory …
