Abstract To solve the problem of residual wind power in offshore wind farms, a hydrogen production system with a reasonable capacity was configured to enhance the local load of wind farms and promote the local consumption of residual wind power. By studying the mathematical model of wind power output and calculating surplus wind power, as well as considering the hydrogen production/storage characteristics of the electrolyzer and hydrogen storage tank, an innovative capacity optimization allocation model was established. The objective of the model was to achieve the lowest total net present value over the entire life cycle. The model took into account… More >

Abstract To improve the operation efficiency of the photovoltaic power station complementary power generation system, an optimal allocation model of the photovoltaic power station complementary power generation capacity based on PSO-BP is proposed. Particle Swarm Optimization and BP neural network are used to establish the forecasting model, the Markov chain model is used to correct the forecasting error of the model, and the weighted fitting method is used to forecast the annual load curve, to complete the optimal allocation of complementary generating capacity of photovoltaic power stations. The experimental results show that this method reduces the average loss of photovoltaic output… More >

Abstract Building structures themselves are one of the key areas of urban energy consumption, therefore, are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. With this understood, the carbon trading market is gradually expanding to the building sector to control greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, to balance the interests of the environment and the building users, this paper proposes an optimal operation scheme for the photovoltaic, energy storage system, and flexible building power system (PEFB), considering the combined benefit of building. Based on the model of conventional photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system (ESS), the mathematical optimization model of the system is proposed… More >

Abstract In electrified railways, traction load not only fluctuates between peaks and valleys, but also has a situation of low utilization rate of average load throughout the day and short overload. The traction transformer selects the capacity with the peak load as the demand boundary, which will cause the capacity utilization rate to be low and even lead to the economic decline of the traction power supply system. This article summarizes the existing configuration methods for capacity optimization of traction transformer. Then under the conditions of energy storage and new energy access to traction power supply system, the three aspects are… More >
