Considering the strongly nonlinear factors such as the periodically time-varying mesh stiffness, the nonlinear tooth backlash, the lump-parameter model of the gear system is developed with one rotational and two translational freedoms of each gear. The eigen-values and eigenvectors are derived and analyzed on the basis of the real modal theory. The sensitivities of natural frequencies to design parameters including supporting and meshing stiffnesses, gear masses, and moments of inertia by the direct differential method are also calculated. The results show the quantitative and qualitative impact of the parameters to the natural characteristics of the gear system. Furthermore, the periodic steady state solutions are obtained by the numerical approach based on the nonlinear model. These results are employed to gain insights into the primary controlling parameters, to forecast the severity of the dynamic response, and to assess the acceptability of the gear design.展开更多

By performing experiments with surface discharge model of oil-paper insula- tion at 80 ℃ under combined AC-DC voltage for 200 h, we studied the spectrums and statistical parameters of partial discharges at different discharge stages. Furthermore, some fingerprint parameters were calculated in order to estimate the development situation of par- tial discharge, while the characteristic gases dissolved in the transformer oil were measured by gas chromatography. The surface discharges in the experiments were observed using a high speed camera, and a full discharge process could be marked off into four stages as follows. ①The elementary stage. When a partial discharge occurs near electrodes, electrical charges are injected into the region near electrodes and causing bubble generation. ②Due to their high resistivity and low dielectric constant, the bubbles would bare the major part of the voltage applied to samples. Therefore, discharge happens inside the small bubbles, and it emits a lot of light. ③Micromolecules of gas are produced in discharge, and further ionization in the transformer oil takes place simultaneously when high-energy electrons collide with oil molecules. ④The carrier charge moves forward to electrodes driven by the applied electric field, till they neutralize with the charge from electrodes, and hence discharge channels are formed subsequently.展开更多

The Bernoulli distributed ran-dom variable is employed to describe the phenomenon of intermit-tent observations. According to the cubature sample principle, theestimation error and the error covariance matrix （ECM） of CKFIare derived by Taylor series expansion, respectively. Afterwards, itis theoretically proved that the ECM will be bounded if the obser-vation arrival probability exceeds a critical minimum observationarrival probability. Meanwhile, under proper assumption corre-sponding with real engineering situations, the stochastic stabilityof the estimation error can be guaranteed when the initial estima-tion error and the stochastic noise terms are sufficiently small. Thetheoretical conclusions are verified by numerical simulations fortwo illustrative examples; also by evaluating the tracking perfor-mance of the optical-electric target tracking system implementedby CKFI and unscented Kalman filter with intermittent observa-tions （UKFI） separately, it is demonstrated that the proposed CKFIslightly outperforms the UKFI with respect to tracking accuracy aswell as real time performance.展开更多

However, presently, no DC PD detection device on the market has the statistical function. Thus, we developed a test system for PD detection under DC voltage, which is characterized by strong anti-jamming capability, continuous high-speed real-time data acquisi- tion and effective, complete detection of DC PD signals. The DC PD mechanism, as well as the measuring principles, software system, and hardware design of the test equipment were introduced. Adopting typical electrode pairs, we tested the statistical spectrum of PD under DC voltage. The main difference in statistical spectrums between parallel plate electrodes and needle-plate electrodes was that the time interval between two consecutive discharges for needle-plate electrodes has obviously larger variation range than that for parallel plate electrodes, which could be the convincing proof for distinguishing the type of electrodes under DC PD. Practical results indicate that the proposed sys- tem can measure time domain signals of DC PD of oil-paper insulation effectively and promptly, and it can be used to determine and detect defects in DC power transmission equipment.展开更多

Due to the lack of sufficient experience in commercial plant operation, HAT cycle has a great demand for modeling and simulation of the system and its components, especially the saturator, to provide reference for system design and optimization. The conventional saturator models are usually based on the theory of heat and mass transfer, which need two accurate coefficients to ensure convincing results. This work proposes a global heat and mass transfer coefficient based on cooling tower technology to model the saturator in small-scale HAT cycle. Compared with the experimental data, the simulation results show that the proposed model well predicts the dynamic humidity and temperature distribution characteristics of saturator at low air pressure and temperature.展开更多

Hence, we in- vestigated the charge trap distributions in several kinds of typical polymer materials using thermally stimulated discharge (TSD) and photo-stimulated discharge (PSD) methods, respectively. The experimental results show that,there is a significant difference between the trap energy distributions obtained by the two methods, but the difference decreases with the increase of the melting point of polymers. This is attributed to the change of the trap center environment during TSD caused by the increasing movements of both main chains and branched chains in polymers. PSD method is more accurate for investigating charge trap distribution in dielectrics, especially for polymers with low melting points.展开更多

The corona-induced radio interference and audible noise become important factors influencing the configuration and costs of transmission project. For understanding the effects of contaminations on the corona pulse characteristics of an HVDC transmission line,a corona cage was adopted to experimentally investigate corona pulse inception voltage and corona pulse characteristics of the conductors with different contaminations on surfaces. The contaminations include simulated contaminations,carbon powder,cement and fine sand. The results show that when conductor is covered with contaminations,the positive polarity corona pulses have high amplitude and low frequency,while the negative polarity corona pulses have low amplitude and incremental high frequency components. The corona pulse inception voltage presents a negatively exponential decrease with the increase of contamination density,showing a saturation trend. Fine sand shows the greatest effect on the corona pulse inception voltage with positive polarity,while cement shows the least effect. A function of corona inception voltage and surface contamination density is given. This study may provide reference for design of transmission lines.展开更多

Hence, we in- vestigated the charge trap distributions in several kinds of typical polymer materials using thermally stimulated discharge (TSD) and photo-stimulated discharge (PSD) methods, respectively. The experimental results show that,there is a significant difference between the trap energy distributions obtained by the two methods, but the difference decreases with the increase of the melting point of polymers. This is attributed to the change of the trap center environment during TSD caused by the increasing movements of both main chains and branched chains in polymers.

文摘The optimization of black-start decision-making plays an important role in the rapid restoration of a power system after a major failure/outage.With the introduction of the concept of smart grids and the development of real-time communication networks,the black-start decision-makers are no longer limited to only one or a few power system experts such as dispatchers,but rather a large group of professional people in practice.The overall behaviors of a large decision-making group of decision-makers/experts are more complicated and unpredictable.However,the existing methods for black-start decision-making cannot handle the situations with a large group of decision-makers.Given this background,a clustering algorithm is presented to optimize the black-start decision-making problem with a large group of decision-makers.Group decision-making preferences are obtained by clustering analysis,and the final black-start decision-making results are achieved by combining the weights of black-start indexes and the preferences of the decision-making group.The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by a practical case.This work extends the black-start decision-making problem to situations with a large group of decision-makers.

文摘Discharge branching is a general phenomenon in atmospheric-pressure air,dense gases,and two-phase mixtures(TPMs).In this work,an ultraviolet imaging device is utilized to investigate the branching of positive pulsed discharges in TPMs.Comparison among the captured images indicates that the branching is caused by the voltages and the macropartilces in the discharge channels combining together.The interaction of macroparticles with ions,electrons or photons is one reason for the branching behavior of pulsed discharges.The generation of electrons at the discharge front closely relates to the work function of dielectric macroparticles,which is a key parameter influencing the electron-emission ability of macroparticle surfaces.The electric field alteration under various applied voltage in TPMs,which is calculated by a two-dimension finite element method,is the other reason for the guiding effect of macroparticles on the streamers compared with in the air.

文摘Contaminations adhering on HVDC transmission line will change its corona characteristics to generate electromagnetic pollution. The corona-induced radio interference and audible noise become important factors influencing the configuration and costs of transmission project. For understanding the effects of contaminations on the corona pulse characteristics of an HVDC transmission line,a corona cage was adopted to experimentally investigate corona pulse inception voltage and corona pulse characteristics of the conductors with different contaminations on surfaces. The contaminations include simulated contaminations,carbon powder,cement and fine sand. The results show that when conductor is covered with contaminations,the positive polarity corona pulses have high amplitude and low frequency,while the negative polarity corona pulses have low amplitude and incremental high frequency components. The corona pulse inception voltage presents a negatively exponential decrease with the increase of contamination density,showing a saturation trend. Fine sand shows the greatest effect on the corona pulse inception voltage with positive polarity,while cement shows the least effect. A function of corona inception voltage and surface contamination density is given. This study may provide reference for design of transmission lines.
