The amount of capacitors added and location of deployment in the system highly determine the advantage of compensation. A novel global harmony search(GHS) algorithm in parallel with the backward/ forward sweep power flow technique and radial harmonic power flow was used to investigate the optimal placement and sizing of capacitors in radial distribution networks for minimizing power loss and total cost by taking account load unbalancing, mutual coupling and harmonics. The optimal capacitor placement outcomes show that the GHS algorithm can reduce total power losses up to 60 k W and leads to more than 18% of cost saving. The results also demonstrate that the GHS algorithm is more effective in minimization of power loss and total costs compared with genetic algorithm(GA), particle swarm optimization(PSO) and harmony search(HS) algorithm. Moreover, the proposed algorithm converges within 800 iterations and is faster in terms of computational time and gives better performance in finding optimal capacitor location and size compared with other optimization techniques.展开更多

Due to finding solution which is closer to realistic characteristics, load forecasting, market price errors and the uncertainties related to the variable output power of wind based DG units are put in consideration. This work employs NSGA-II accompanied by the fuzzy set theory to solve the aforementioned multi-objective problem.

The cost includes the installation costs of new equipment, reconfiguration costs, power loss cost, reliability cost, cost of energy purchased from power market, upgrade costs of lines and operation and maintenance costs of DGs. Therefore, the proposed methodology improves power quality, reliability and security in lower costs besides its preserve, with the operational indices of power distribution networks in acceptable level. To validate the proposed methodology's usefulness, it was applied on the IEEE 33-bus distribution system then the outcomes were compared with initial configuration.展开更多

Working in high el...High energy density capacitor is a key device to power supply source for electromagnetic gun (EMG) system, and extending its lifetime is important for increasing the reliability of the power source. Working in high electric field could affect the capacitor lifetime, and this effect on metallized polypropylene film capacitors (MPPFCs) in pulsed-power applications is studied and presented. Experimental re- sults show that the lifetime of MPPFCs decreases with the increasing peak value of charged electric field, and this decrease could be described by function (L/L0) ∝ (E/E0)–m, where, m=7.32. The lifetime of MPPFCs also decreases with the increase of the reversal coeffi- cients in underdamped circuits, which could be described by (L/L0) ∝ (ln(1/K0)/(ln(1/K))–b, where, b=0.7. These results provide a basis for the lifetime prediction of MPPFCs in pulsed-power applications.展开更多

Through the relationship between anode voltage and time and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) images of invalidated anode and normal forming anode, invalidation manner and mechanism of NbO electrolytic capacitor anode were discussed. The results show that, the main invalidation manner of NbO electrolytic capacitor anode is not short circuit but open circuit, which is different to that of traditional Ta electrolytic capacitor anode. The reason of invalidation is that anode oxide film whose thickness increases gradually penetrates the "connection neck" among anode powder particles, which leads to the open circuit invalidation of anode. Compared with Ta electrolytic capacitor,NbO electrolytic capacitor has better security.展开更多

文摘Due to development of distribution systems and increase in electricity demand,the use of capacitor banks increases.From the other point of view,nonlinear loads generate and inject considerable harmonic currents into power system.Under this condition if capacitor banks are not properly selected and placed in the power system,they could amplify and propagate these harmonics and deteriorate power quality to unacceptable levels.With attention of disadvantages of passive filters,such as occurring resonance,nowadays the usage of this type of harmonic compensator is restricted.On the other side,one of parallel multi-function compensating devices which are recently used in distribution system to mitigate voltage sag and harmonic distortion,performs power factor correction,and improves the overall power quality as active power conditioner(APC).Therefore,the utilization of APC in harmonic distorted system can affect and change the optimal location and size of shunt capacitor bank under harmonic distortion condition.This paper presents an optimization algorithm for improvement of power quality using simultaneous optimal placement and sizing of APC and shunt capacitor banks in radial distribution networks in the presence of voltage and current harmonics.The algorithm is based on particle swarm optimization(PSO).The objective function includes the cost of power losses,energy losses and those of the capacitor banks and APCs.

文摘High energy density capacitor is a key device to power supply source for electromagnetic gun (EMG) system, and extending its lifetime is important for increasing the reliability of the power source. Working in high electric field could affect the capacitor lifetime, and this effect on metallized polypropylene film capacitors (MPPFCs) in pulsed-power applications is studied and presented. Experimental re- sults show that the lifetime of MPPFCs decreases with the increasing peak value of charged electric field, and this decrease could be described by function (L/L0) ∝ (E/E0)–m, where, m=7.32. The lifetime of MPPFCs also decreases with the increase of the reversal coeffi- cients in underdamped circuits, which could be described by (L/L0) ∝ (ln(1/K0)/(ln(1/K))–b, where, b=0.7. These results provide a basis for the lifetime prediction of MPPFCs in pulsed-power applications.
文摘Electrolytic conductivity, viscosity and electrochemical behavior were investigated for organic electrolytes based on PC（Propylene carbonate）, MAN（Methoxy acetonitrile） and GBL（γ-Butyrolactone） solvents. It was found that 1 mol/L Et4NBF4-MAN had the highest conductivity, lowest viscosity and acceptable potential window. The specific capacitance and energy density obtained from the capacitor using 1 mol/L Et4NBF4-MAN as electrolyte were the highest among all the tested electrolytes.（1 mol/L） Et4NBF4-GBL also seemed promising to be used in electric double-layer capacitor （EDLCs）.
文摘Niobium suboxide powder was pressed and sintered in vacuum into NbO electrolytic capacitor sintered anode..High voltage and constant current formation experiment was performed on NbO electrolytic capacitor anode,during which electrolyte was 0.01 % Ha PO4 solution, temperature was 90 C and current was 50 mA per gram sample. Through the relationship between anode voltage and time and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) images of invalidated anode and normal forming anode, invalidation manner and mechanism of NbO electrolytic capacitor anode were discussed. The results show that, the main invalidation manner of NbO electrolytic capacitor anode is not short circuit but open circuit, which is different to that of traditional Ta electrolytic capacitor anode. The reason of invalidation is that anode oxide film whose thickness increases gradually penetrates the "connection neck" among anode powder particles, which leads to the open circuit invalidation of anode. Compared with Ta electrolytic capacitor,NbO electrolytic capacitor has better security.

文摘Sodium-ion capacitors(SICs)typically feature a hybrid design,incorporating a battery-type anode that operates by faradaic redox reactions and an activated carbon cathode that functions through electrical double-layer(EDL)adsorption/desorption.However,the kinetics of faradaic processes are inherently slower than those of EDL processes,leading to a fundamental problem known as kinetic imbalance between the electrodes,which hinders the development of high-performance SICs.To address this,we synthesized composites of bismuth nanoparticles in N-doped carbon(Bi@NC)by a high-temperature sintering method.The resulting Bi@NC anode has a specific capacity of 300 mAh g^(-1) at 0.5 A g^(-1),an exceptional rate capability(maintaining performance at currents exceeding 75 A g^(-1)),and outstanding cycling sta-bility over 12000 cycles.Three-electrode Swagelok cell tests revealed that this high-rate Bi@NC composite effectively decreases the kinetic gap with the activated carbon cathode,as shown by an analysis of their respective potential swing windows(vs.Na/Na+).This enables the fabricated SIC to achieve a maximum energy density of 115 Wh kg^(-1),a peak power density of 45535 W kg^(-1),and a long cycle life exceeding 8000 cycles.
