Summary

The distributed generation mode of renewable energy will inevitably lead to the rapid growth of the operating equipment of new power systems. Therefore, it is necessary to combine digital technology and artificial intelligence to realize efficient, accurate, and timely perception and intelligent decision-making of power grid equipment status, so as to meet the new challenges brought by the operation and maintenance of new power system equipment. Meanwhile, with the continuous expansion of the power system scale and the increasing complexity of the structure, a large amount of alarm information flows into the dispatching center in a short time, which far exceeds the processing capacity of the operators. To adapt to the rapid and accurate identification of faults under various simple and complex accident situations, the power system fault diagnosis system is crucial for decision-making reference.

    Abstract At present, the proportion of new energy in the power grid is increasing, and the random fluctuations in power output increase the risk of cascading failures in the power grid. In this paper, we propose a method for identifying high-risk scenarios of interlocking faults in new energy power grids based on a deep embedding clustering (DEC) algorithm and apply it in a risk assessment of cascading failures in different operating scenarios for new energy power grids.

    Abstract Self-heating and electric field distribution are the primary factors affecting the accuracy of the Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) resistive divider. Reducing the internal temperature rise of the voltage divider caused by self-heating, reducing the maximum electric field strength of the voltage divider, and uniform electric field distribution can effectively improve the UHVDC resistive divider’s accuracy.

    Abstract Harsh working environments and wear between blades and other unit components can easily lead to cracks and damage on wind turbine blades. The cracks on the blades can endanger the shafting of the generator set, the tower and other components, and even cause the tower to collapse. To achieve high-precision wind blade crack detection, this paper proposes a crack fault-detection strategy that integrates Gated Residual Network (GRN), a fusion module and Transformer. Firstly, GRN can reduce unnecessary noisy inputs that could negatively impact performance while preserving the integrity of feature information. In addition, to gain in-depth information about the characteristics… More >
