Abstract When employing stepwise inertial control (SIC), wind power generation can offer significant frequency support to the power system, concurrently mitigating energy shortages and suppressing secondary frequency drop. Nonetheless, further investigation is imperative for implementing stepped inertia control due to variations in frequency regulation capabilities and operational safety among diverse wind farm groups. Consequently, this paper advocates a multi-wind farm ladder timing SIC method designed to alleviate secondary drops in system frequency. Initially, the paper introduces the fundamental principles of stepped inertia control for a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) and deduces the relationship between support energy,… More >

Abstract This paper addresses the impact of vertical vibration negative effects, unbalanced radial forces generated by the static eccentricity of the hub motor, and road excitation on the suspension performance of Hub Motor Driven Vehicle (HMDV). A dynamic inertial suspension based on Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) is proposed, combining the vertical dynamic characteristics of dynamic inertial suspension with the features of ADRC, which distinguishes between internal and external disturbances and arranges the transition process. Firstly, a simulation model of the static eccentricity of the hub motor is established to simulate the unbalanced radial electromagnetic force… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This work is devoted to the experimental study of inertial wave regimes in a non-uniform rotating cylinder with antiparallel inclined ends. In this setting, the cross-section of the cylinder is divided into two regions where the fluid depth increases or decreases with radius. Three different regimes are found: inertial wave attractor, global oscillations (the cavity’s resonant modes) and regime of symmetric reflection of wave beams. In linear wave regimes, a steady single vortex elongated along the rotation axis is generated. The location of the wave’s interaction with the sloping ends determines the vortex position and More >

Abstract Indoor positioning is a key technology in today’s intelligent environments, and it plays a crucial role in many application areas. This paper proposed an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) based on the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) instead of the minimum mean square error criterion (MMSE). This innovative approach is applied to the loose coupling of the Inertial Navigation System (INS) and Ultra-Wideband (UWB). By introducing the maximum correntropy criterion, the MCCUKF algorithm dynamically adjusts the covariance matrices of the system noise and the measurement noise, thus enhancing its adaptability to diverse environmental localization requirements. Particularly in… More >

Abstract Tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) is a device that couples traditional tuned mass dampers (TMD) with an inertial device. The inertial device produces resistance proportional to the relative acceleration at its two ends through its “inertial” constant. Due to its unique mechanical properties, TMDI has received widespread attention and application in the past twenty years. As different configurations are required in different practical situations, TMDI is still active in the research on vibration control and energy harvesting in structures. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research status of TMDI. This work first examines… More >

Abstract With the widespread use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in daily life and the considerable safety risks of falls for elderly individuals, research on IoT-based fall detection systems has gained much attention. This paper proposes an IoT-based spatiotemporal data processing framework based on a depthwise separable convolution generative adversarial network using skip-connection (Skip-DSCGAN) for fall detection. The method uses spatiotemporal data from accelerometers and gyroscopes in inertial sensors as input data. A semisupervised learning approach is adopted to train the model using only activities of daily living (ADL) data, which can avoid data imbalance… More >

Abstract In the DC microgrid, the lack of inertia and damping in power electronic converters results in poor stability of DC bus voltage and low inertia of the DC microgrid during fluctuations in load and photovoltaic power. To address this issue, the application of a virtual synchronous generator (VSG) in grid-connected inverters control is referenced and proposes a control strategy called the analogous virtual synchronous generator (AVSG) control strategy for the interface DC/DC converter of the battery in the microgrid. Besides, a flexible parameter adaptive control method is introduced to further enhance the inertial behavior of… More >

Abstract Energy storage systems (ESS) and permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) are speculated to be able to exhibit frequency regulation capabilities by adding differential and proportional control loops with different control objectives. The available PMSG kinetic energy and charging/discharging capacities of the ESS were restricted. To improve the inertia response and frequency control capability, we propose a short-term frequency support strategy for the ESS and PMSG. To this end, the weights were embedded in the control loops to adjust the participation of the differential and proportional controls based on the system frequency excursion. The effectiveness of More >

Abstract Boiling heat transfer process is important because it is a way to increase the flux density transmitted at low temperature differences. To quantify the thermal exchanges, we performed an experimental study of the nitrogen pool boiling, in transient conditions, on a horizontal brass ribbon for a fixed flux density. The results show that there is no break between the monophasic convection zone and the nucleated boiling region. In the nucleated boiling zone, the temperature variations are very small. We also note that the overheating required to trigger boiling increases with the time delay after the More >

Abstract The rheological behavior of fluid-particle suspensions affects the flow dynamics of natural processes such as lavas, flow-type landslides and sediment transport. This study presents results of fully resolved simulations of monodisperse non-Brownian suspensions in a Couette flow using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method coupled with discrete element method (DEM), which allows for simulation of arbitrary-shaped particles. Several benchmark tests have been conducted to verify the reliability of the method. Two density ratios are considered in the study, i.e., 2.65 and 10, with the average particle area fraction varying from 14% to 47% and particle More >
