Abstract In the increasingly decentralized energy environment, economical power dispatching from distributed generations (DGs) is crucial to minimizing operating costs, optimizing resource utilization, and guaranteeing a consistent and sustainable supply of electricity. A comprehensive review of optimization techniques for economic power dispatching from distributed generations is imperative to identify the most effective strategies for minimizing operational costs while maintaining grid stability and sustainability. The choice of optimization technique for economic power dispatching from DGs depends on a number of factors, such as the size and complexity of the power system, the availability of computational resources, and… More >

Abstract Cascading faults have been identified as the primary cause of multiple power outages in recent years. With the emergence of integrated energy systems (IES), the conventional approach to analyzing power grid cascading faults is no longer appropriate. A cascading fault analysis method considering multi-energy coupling characteristics is of vital importance. In this study, an innovative analysis method for cascading faults in integrated heat and electricity systems (IHES) is proposed. It considers the degradation characteristics of transmission and energy supply components in the system to address the impact of component aging on cascading faults. Firstly, degradation… More >

Abstract Electric vehicle (EV) is an ideal solution to resolve the carbon emission issue and the fossil fuels scarcity problem in the future. However, a large number of EVs will be concentrated on charging during the valley hours leading to new load peaks under the guidance of static time-of-use tariff. Therefore, this paper proposes a dynamic time-of-use tariff mechanism, which redefines the peak and valley time periods according to the predicted loads using the fuzzy C-mean (FCM) clustering algorithm, and then dynamically adjusts the peak and valley tariffs according to the actual load of each time… More >

Abstract Given the “double carbon” objective and the drive toward low-carbon power, investigating the integration and interaction within the carbon-electricity market can enhance renewable energy utilization and facilitate energy conservation and emission reduction endeavors. However, further research is necessary to explore operational optimization methods for establishing a regional energy system using Power-to-Hydrogen (P2H) technology, focusing on participating in combined carbon-electricity market transactions. This study introduces an innovative Electro-Hydrogen Regional Energy System (EHRES) in this context. This system integrates renewable energy sources, a P2H system, cogeneration units, and energy storage devices. The core purpose of this integration… More >

Abstract Long-term use in challenging natural conditions is possible for photovoltaic modules, which are extremely prone to failure. Failure to diagnose and address faults in Photovoltaic (PV) power systems in a timely manner can cause permanent damage to PV modules and, in more serious cases, fires. Therefore, research into photovoltaic module defect detection techniques is crucial for the growth of the photovoltaic sector as well as for maintaining national economic prosperity and ensuring public safety. Considering the drawbacks of the current real-time and historical data-based methods for monitoring distributed PV systems, this paper proposes a method… More >

Abstract According to the multi-time-scale characteristics of power generation and demand-side response (DR) resources, as well as the improvement of prediction accuracy along with the approaching operating point, a rolling peak shaving optimization model consisting of three different time scales has been proposed. The proposed peak shaving optimization model considers not only the generation resources of two different response speeds but also the two different DR resources and determines each unit combination, generation power, and demand response strategy on different time scales so as to participate in the peaking of the power system by taking full… More >

Abstract Building energy consumption and building carbon emissions both account for more than 20% of their total national values in China. Building employing phase change material (PCM) for passive temperature control shows a promising prospect in meeting the comfort demand and reducing energy consumption simultaneously. However, there is a lack of more detailed research on the interaction between the location and thickness of PCM and indoor natural convection, as well as indoor temperature distribution. In this study, the numerical model of a passive temperature-controlled building integrating the developed PCM module is established with the help of… More >

Abstract The application of traditional synchronous measurement methods is limited by frequent fluctuations of electrical signals and complex frequency components in distribution networks. Therefore, it is critical to find solutions to the issues of multifrequency parameter estimation and synchronous measurement estimation accuracy in the complex environment of distribution networks. By utilizing the multifrequency sensing capabilities of discrete Fourier transform signals and Taylor series for dynamic signal processing, a multifrequency signal estimation approach based on HT-IpDFT-STWLS (HIpST) for distribution networks is provided. First, by introducing the Hilbert transform (HT), the influence of noise on the estimation algorithm… More >

Abstract Due to the impact of source-load prediction power errors and uncertainties, the actual operation of the park will have a wide range of fluctuations compared with the expected state, resulting in its inability to achieve the expected economy. This paper constructs an operating simulation model of the park power grid operation considering demand response and proposes a multi-time scale operating simulation method that combines day-ahead optimization and model predictive control (MPC). In the day-ahead stage, an operating simulation plan that comprehensively considers the user’s side comfort and operating costs is proposed with a long-term time More >

Abstract The plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) technology can effectively address the issues of poor dynamics and higher energy consumption commonly found in traditional mining dump trucks. Meanwhile, plug-in hybrid electric trucks can achieve excellent fuel economy through efficient energy management strategies (EMS).

Abstract With a further increase in energy flexibility for customers, short-term load forecasting is essential to provide benchmarks for economic dispatch and real-time alerts in power grids. The electrical load series exhibit periodic patterns and share high associations with metrological data. However, current studies have merely focused on point-wise models and failed to sufficiently investigate the periodic patterns of load series, which hinders the further improvement of short-term load forecasting accuracy. Therefore, this paper improved Autoformer to extract the periodic patterns of load series and learn a representative feature from deep decomposition and reconstruction. In addition, More >
