Abstract In wind power transmission via modular multilevel converter based high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) systems, under traditional control strategies, MMC-HVDC cannot provide inertia support to the receiving-end grid (REG) during disturbances. Moreover, due to the frequency decoupling between the two ends of the MMC-HVDC, the sending-end wind farm (SEWF) cannot obtain the frequency variation information of the REG to provide inertia response. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel coordinated source-network-storage inertia control strategy based on wind power transmission via MMC-HVDC system. First, the grid-side MMC station (GS-MMC) maps the frequency variations of the REG to… More >

Abstract With the increasing integration of renewable energy, microgrids are increasingly facing stability challenges, primarily due to the lack of inherent inertia in inverter-dominated systems, which is traditionally provided by synchronous generators. To address this critical issue, Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) technology has emerged as a highly promising solution by emulating the inertia and damping characteristics of conventional synchronous generators. To enhance the operational efficiency of virtual synchronous generators (VSGs), this study employs small-signal modeling analysis, root locus methods, and synchronous generator power-angle characteristic analysis to comprehensively evaluate how virtual inertia and damping coefficients affect frequency… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study experimentally investigates the oscillatory dynamics of wind-driven droplets using high-speed imaging to capture droplet profiles within the symmetry plane and to characterize their natural oscillation frequencies. Results reveal that the eigenfrequencies vary spatially due to distinct oscillation modes occurring at different droplet locations. Notably, the fundamental eigenfrequency decreases with reducing droplet volume, while droplet viscosity exerts minimal influence on this frequency. Prior to the onset of motion, the dynamic contact angle consistently remains between the advancing and receding angles. The inertial forces generated by droplet oscillation are found to be significantly greater than More >

Abstract Considering the noise problem of the acquisition signals from mechanical transmission systems, a novel denoising method is proposed that combines Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) with wavelet thresholding. The key innovation of this method lies in the optimization of VMD parameters K and using the improved Horned Lizard Optimization Algorithm (IHLOA). An inertia weight parameter is introduced into the random walk strategy of HLOA, and the related formula is improved. The acquisition signal can be adaptively decomposed into some Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), and the high-noise IMFs are identified based on a correlation coefficient-variance method. Further noise… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The dynamics of fluid and non-buoyant particles in a librating horizontal annulus is studied experimentally. In the absence of librations, the granular material forms a cylindrical layer near the outer boundary of the annulus and undergoes rigid-body rotation with the fluid and the annulus. It is demonstrated that the librational liquefaction of the granular material results in pattern formation. This self-organization process stems from the excitation of inertial modes induced by the oscillatory motion of liquefied granular material under the influence of the gravitational force. The inertial wave induces vortical fluid flow which entrains particles More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Time-averaged thermal convection in a rotating horizontal annulus with a higher temperature at its inner boundary is studied. The centrifugal force plays a stabilizing role, while thermal convection is determined by the “thermovibrational mechanism”. Convective flow is excited due to oscillations of a non-isothermal rotating fluid. Thermal vibrational convection manifests in the form of two-dimensional vortices elongated along the axis of rotation, which develop in a threshold manner with an increase in the amplitude of fluid oscillations. The objective of the present study is to clarify the nature of another phenomenon, i.e., three-dimensional convective vortices… More >

Abstract Thermal vibrational convection (TVC) refers to the time-averaged convection of a non-isothermal fluid subjected to oscillating force fields. It serves as an effective mechanism for heat transfer control, particularly under microgravity conditions. A key challenge in this field is understanding the effect of rotation on TVC, as fluid oscillations in rotating systems exhibit unique and specific characteristics. In this study, we examine TVC in a vertical flat layer with boundaries at different temperatures, rotating around a horizontal axis. The distinctive feature of this study is that the fluid oscillations within the cavity are not induced… More >

Abstract Prediction of stability in SG (Smart Grid) is essential in maintaining consistency and reliability of power supply in grid infrastructure. Analyzing the fluctuations in power generation and consumption patterns of smart cities assists in effectively managing continuous power supply in the grid. It also possesses a better impact on averting overloading and permitting effective energy storage. Even though many traditional techniques have predicted the consumption rate for preserving stability, enhancement is required in prediction measures with minimized loss. To overcome the complications in existing studies, this paper intends to predict stability from the smart grid… More >

Abstract Metamaterials with inertial amplification components exhibit unique bandgap behaviors which can be utilized on the vibration suppression of mechanical structures. In this study, novel cantilever-type inertial amplification mechanisms are periodically attached to the stiffened composite plate to realize the low-frequency bandgaps and vibration suppression. This type of metamaterial mitigates the vibration by amplifying the inertia of the added small mass, which has great application potential in many industrial scenes. For the sake of the efficient calculations, a semi-analytical method based on the energy generalized variational principle is promoted, which can predict the bandgap behaviors and… More >

Abstract The interactions among thermal history, plastic deformation and stress in inertia friction welding (IFW) under different welding parameters have been widely considered a crucial issue and still not fully understood. A novel 3D fully coupled finite element model based on a plastic friction pair was developed to simulate the IFW process of a Ni-based superalloy and reveal the omnidirectional thermo-mechanical coupling mechanism under different welding conditions. The numerical model successfully simulated the deceleration, deformation processes, and peak torsional moments in IFW and captured the evolution of temperature, plastic deformation, and stress. The simulated results were… More >
