    Abstract This work proposes an optimization method for gas storage operation parameters under multi-factor coupled constraints to improve the peak-shaving capacity of gas storage reservoirs while ensuring operational safety. Previous research primarily focused on integrating reservoir, wellbore, and surface facility constraints, often resulting in broad constraint ranges and slow model convergence. To solve this problem, the present study introduces additional constraints on maximum withdrawal rates by combining binomial deliverability equations with material balance equations for closed gas reservoirs, while considering extreme peak-shaving demands. This approach effectively narrows the constraint range. Subsequently, a collaborative optimization model with… More >

    Few-Short Photovoltaic Systems Predictions Algorithm in Cold-Wave Weather via WOA-CNN-LSTM Model

    Ruiheng Pan*, Shuyan Wang, Yihan Huang, Gang Ma
    Energy Engineering, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.065124
    Abstract Contemporary power network planning faces critical challenges from intensifying climate variability, including greenhouse effect amplification, extreme precipitation anomalies, and persistent thermal extremes. These meteorological disruptions compromise the reliability of renewable energy generation forecasts, particularly in photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, current predictive methodologies exhibit notable deficiencies in extreme weather monitoring, systematic transient phenomena analysis, and preemptive operational strategies, especially for cold-wave weather. In order to address these limitations, we propose a dual-phase data enhancement protocol that takes advantage of Time-series Generative Adversarial Networks (TimeGAN) for temporal pattern expansion and the K-medoids clustering algorithm for synthetic data… More >

    Energy Engineering, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.066620

    Abstract As a new dynamic reactive power compensator, the grid-forming Static Var Generator (GF-SVG) can not only provide reactive power-voltage support, but also has inertial support capability. It has been experimentally deployed in many wind farms. However, studies have shown that when the three-phase short-circuit fault occurs in the wind farm, the transient overcurrent during the fault occurrence and fault clearance is suppressed, making it difficult for GF-SVG to use traditional fixed virtual impedance. Aiming at the problem, firstly, the influence of virtual reactance on control stability is analyzed using the GF-SVG’s current open-loop transfer function.… More >
