    Abstract In winter, wind turbines are susceptible to blade icing, which results in a series of energy losses and safe operation problems. Therefore, blade icing detection has become a top priority. Conventional methods primarily rely on sensor monitoring, which is expensive and has limited applications. Data-driven blade icing detection methods have become feasible with the development of artificial intelligence. However, the data-driven method is plagued by limited training samples and icing samples; therefore, this paper proposes an icing warning strategy based on the combination of feature selection (FS), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm, and exponentially weighted… More >

    Abstract In light of the prevailing issue that the existing convolutional neural network (CNN) power quality disturbance identification method can only extract single-scale features, which leads to a lack of feature information and weak anti-noise performance, a new approach for identifying power quality disturbances based on an adaptive Kalman filter (KF) and multi-scale channel attention (MS-CAM) fused convolutional neural network is suggested. Single and composite-disruption signals are generated through simulation. The adaptive maximum likelihood Kalman filter is employed for noise reduction in the initial disturbance signal, and subsequent integration of multi-scale features into the conventional CNN… More >

    Arc Grounding Fault Identification Using Integrated Characteristics in the Power Grid

    Penghui Liu1,2,*, Yaning Zhang1, Yuxing Dai2, Yanzhou Sun1,3

    Abstract Arc grounding faults occur frequently in the power grid with small resistance grounding neutral points. The existing arc fault identification technology only uses the fault line signal characteristics to set the identification index, which leads to detection failure when the arc zero-off characteristic is short. To solve this problem, this paper presents an arc fault identification method by utilizing integrated signal characteristics of both the fault line and sound lines. Firstly, the waveform characteristics of the fault line and sound lines under an arc grounding fault are studied. After that, the convex hull, gradient product,… More >

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.7, pp. 1903-1920, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2024.048718 - 11 June 2024
    Abstract During faults in a distribution network, the output power of a distributed generation (DG) may be uncertain. Moreover, the output currents of distributed power sources are also affected by the output power, resulting in uncertainties in the calculation of the short-circuit current at the time of a fault. Additionally, the impacts of such uncertainties around short-circuit currents will increase with the increase of distributed power sources. Thus, it is very important to develop a method for calculating the short-circuit current while considering the uncertainties in a distribution network. In this study, an affine arithmetic algorithm… More >

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Hydraulic Fracturing Theory and Application for Geo-energy Development)
    Abstract Due to the depletion of conventional energy reserves, there has been a global shift towards non-conventional energy sources. Shale oil and gas have emerged as key alternatives. These resources have dense and heterogeneous reservoirs, which require hydraulic fracturing to extract. This process depends on identifying optimal fracturing layers, also known as ‘sweet spots’. However, there is currently no uniform standard for locating these sweet spots. This paper presents a new model for evaluating fracturability that aims to address the current gap in the field. The model utilizes a hierarchical analysis approach and a mutation model, More >

    Abstract Advanced carbon emission factors of a power grid can provide users with effective carbon reduction advice, which is of immense importance in mobilizing the entire society to reduce carbon emissions. The method of calculating node carbon emission factors based on the carbon emissions flow theory requires real-time parameters of a power grid. Therefore, it cannot provide carbon factor information beforehand. To address this issue, a prediction model based on the graph attention network is proposed. The model uses a graph structure that is suitable for the topology of the power grid and designs a supervised More >
