Abstract By integrating advanced digital technologies such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things in sensor measurement, information communication, and other fields, the digital DC distribution network can efficiently and reliably access Distributed Generator (DG) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS), exhibiting significant advantages in terms of controllability and meeting requirements of Plug-and-Play (PnP) operations. However, during device plug-in and -out processes, improper system parameters may lead to small-signal stability issues. Therefore, before executing PnP operations, conducting stability analysis and adjusting parameters swiftly is crucial. This study introduces a four-stage strategy for parameter optimization to enhance… More >

Abstract Ad hoc networks offer promising applications due to their ease of use, installation, and deployment, as they do not require a centralized control entity. In these networks, nodes function as senders, receivers, and routers. One such network is the Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET), where nodes operate in three dimensions (3D) using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that are remotely controlled. With the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), these nodes form an IoT-enabled network called the Internet of UAVs (IoU). However, the airborne nodes in FANET consume high energy due to their payloads and… More >

Abstract The violent interaction between the high-energy laser beam and the 2195 Al-Li alloy dramatically disturbs the fluctuation behavior of the molten pool during welding process, which results in the poor forming quality and severe porosity defects. In this paper, an emerging coaxial hybrid heat source consisting of a 1080nm fiber laser and a 915nm diode laser is employed in the welding of 2195 Al-Li alloy in order to obtain the more stable molten pool. The distribution characteristics of the fiber-diode laser beam intensity were researched to reveal the energy coupling mechanism. The is-situ observation experiment More >

Abstract Invar alloy is widely used in the field of aeronautical composite die manufacturing because it has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, which is like that of composite material. The laser-MIG (Metal-Inert Gas) hybrid welding was developed to join 10 mm thick Invar alloy plates using Invar M93 filling wire. High speed camera equipment was used to observe plasma dynamic processes. Three-dimensional finite element models of laser-MIG hybrid welding process were established to solve the flow field of the molten pool by two leading modes. Elaborated on the flow behavior of the molten pool More >

Abstract Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals including cattle, pigs, and sheep, hence causing export bans among others, causing high economic losses due to reduced productivity. The global effect of FMD is most felt where livestock rearing forms an important source of income. It is therefore important to understand the modes of transmission of FMD to control its spread and prevent its occurrence. This work intends to address these dynamics by including the efficacy of active migrant animals transporting the disease from one area to another in a fuzzy mathematical modeling… More >

Abstract The regime of horizontal subcooled film boiling is characterized by the formation of a thin layer of vapor covering the surface of a flat horizontal heater. Based on the equations of motion of a viscous incompressible fluid and the equation of heat transfer, the stability of such a vapor film is investigated. The influence of the modulation of the gravity field caused by vertical vibrations of the heater of finite frequency, as well as a constant electric field applied normal to the surface of the heater, is taken into account. It is shown that in… More >

Abstract Investigating flexibility and stability boosting transmission expansion planning (TEP) methods can increase the renewable energy (RE) consumption of the power systems. In this study, we propose a bi-level TEP method for voltage-source-converter-based direct current (VSC-DC), focusing on flexibility and stability enhancement. First, we established the TEP framework of VSC-DC, by introducing the evaluation indices to quantify the power system flexibility and stability. Subsequently, we propose a bi-level VSC-DC TEP model: the upper-level model acquires the optimal VSC-DC planning scheme by using the improved moth flame optimization (IMFO) algorithm, and the lower-level model evaluates the flexibility More >

Abstract As the large-scale development of wind farms (WFs) progresses, the connection of WFs to the regional power grid is evolving from the conventional receiving power grid to the sending power grid with a high proportion of wind power (WP). Due to the randomness of WP output, higher requirements are put forward for the voltage stability of each node of the regional power grid, and various reactive power compensation devices (RPCDs) need to be rationally configured to meet the stable operation requirements of the system. This paper proposes an optimal configuration method for multi-type RPCDs in More >

Abstract Although offset-halves journal bearings (OHJBs) are widely used in marine powertrains, the research on nonlinear tribo-dynamics is still limited, particularly under dynamic loading. To overcome such limitations, this study proposes a novel dynamic model that couples the influences of step load and thermoelastohydrodynamic (TEHD) effect. Based on the numerical model, a transient TEHD analysis for dynamically loaded OHJBs is done. Moreover, a modified stability criterion is developed. Nonlinear behaviors and transient stability of OHJBs under step load are systematically studied. The correlations of bearing characteristics such as the maximum film temperature, minimum film thickness, maximum More >

Abstract In this paper, we consider the numerical implementation of the 2D wave equation in isotropic-heterogeneous media. The stability analysis of the scheme using the von Neumann stability method has been studied. We conducted a study on modeling the propagation of acoustic waves in a heterogeneous medium and performed numerical simulations in various heterogeneous media at different time steps. Developed parallel code using Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) technology and tested on domains of various sizes. Performance analysis showed that our parallel approach showed significant speedup compared to sequential code on the Central Processing Unit (CPU). More >
