    In order to overcome the problems of voltage fluctuation and network loss increase caused by random output fluctuation of photovoltaic and wind turbine equipment and load fluctuation in distribution network, it brings challenges to online reactive power optimization of distribution network. In this paper, a reactive power optimization strategy of MADDPG algorithm based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning is designed. Compared with the traditional algorithm, this method does not need accurate power flow modeling, nor does it rely on the data prediction of day ahead load and distributed generation. The reactive power optimization problem is solved by centralized training and decentralized execution. MADDPG regards every agent as an actor. In the process of training, each actor can use a critical to train. The proposed strategy uses deep neural network to fit the action functions of switchable capacitors, voltage regulators and distributed generation inverters, and completes the training of deep neural network in the interaction process with the distribution network environment. Finally, an example is given to verify the effectiveness of MADDPG algorithm.

    The phase field method provides an effective analysis tool for the microstructure evolution process of composite materials in the mesoscale range, filling in the blank between the atomic scale microscopic simulation and the macroscopic scale simulation. This paper first summarized the theoretical basis of the phase field model, including the principle of order parameter selection, the construction of free energy functionals and the method of solving phase field dynamics equations. Then, we reviewed the application progress of the phase field simulation method in the intrinsic structure-activity relationship, breakdown evolution mechanism, and material structure design of composite insulating material. Several key issues need to be studied in-depth in the phase field simulation are generalized. The analysis points out that phase field simulation can provide basic methodology and semi-quantitative analytical means for the study of dielectric behavior of composite insulating materials, but up to now the phase field simulation method still lacks a unified simulation framework covering different modeling scales.

    Dry-type transformers are more widely used in power grids in low-voltage distribution networks, but the correlation between the intrinsic properties of the main insulation materials of dry-type transformers and the degree of aging is still not clear. The activation energy is the energy barrier that the microscopic motion unit in the dielectric overcomes during the movement, and is the microscopic intrinsic reflection of the aging state of the insulation material. In order to study the relationship between the activation energy of epoxy resin for dry-type transformers and other characteristic characterization parameters and the degree of heat aging, the epoxy resin samples for dry-type transformers are subjected to heat aging at different temperatures to measure dielectric spectrum and electrical strength of the samples. The results show that with the increase of aging time, the interfacial polarization relaxation activation energy of the sample shows a decreasing-increasing-slightly decreasing-final increasing trend due to the increase of polar groups and free radicals during aging. And reduction will deepen or reduce the depth of the trap. As the aging time increases, the relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor of the sample show a decreasing-increasing-slightly decreasing-final increase trend, and at the same aging time in the late aging period, the higher the temperature, the higher the relative dielectric constant and the higher the dielectric loss factor, and the breakdown field strength shows an increase-decrease-slightly increase and final decrease trend as the aging time increases. As for the dielectric parameters and electric parameters, the higher the temperature, the more severe the aging of the sample. In this paper, it is found that the activation energy, relative dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and breakdown field strength have certain correlation with the aging time, and the relationship between the slow chemical reaction and the relaxation activation energy is established.

    LCL filters are widely used in grid-connected inverters. However, the injected grid current control does not solve the problem of current harmonics and low bandwidth caused by the LCL resonance peak. The paper proposes an AD control method for LCL inverters, which is only based on the feedback of the grid current. The feedback loop uses the first-order HPF plus the first-order LPF for frequency selection, thereby suppressing the resonance peak. Due to the widening of the bandwidth of the feedback loop, this method is suitable for the resonance frequency shift phenomenon caused by the impedance of the grid. The paper also uses a harmonic compensation control strategy with damping, and analyzes the influence of this strategy on the performance of the inverter. The results show that it can effectively suppress low-frequency harmonics and improve the stability of the system under the impedance change environment. The effectiveness of the proposed control and design has been verified by MATLAB/Simulink simulation and 2kW experimental platform.

    In this paper, an improved common-mode voltages(CMV) reduction PWM strategy, called AZPWM-w strategy, which directly allocates the action time of nonzero voltage vector by parameter w, is proposed. The principle of determining the value of w is as follows: firstly, that the action time of each nonzero vector is longer than the dead time is ensured; secondly, based on the output waveform performance index HDF, the parameter w is optimized.The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed strategy can solve the dead-time peak problem in the range of full modulation ratio, and the harmonic performance is better compared with other improved strategies.

    Energy storage is important for promoting the renewable energy consumption and improving the grid resilience. Cost of energy storage system is a key factor to determine whether the energy storage technology can be industrialized or not. In this paper, energy storage cost per kilowatthour and per mileage were calculated for capacitytype and powertype energy storage applications individually, based on the data from industrial research and life cycle cost analysis. Results show that the cost per kilowatthour of current electrochemical energy storage is about 0.6~0.9CNY, and there is still a gap from the target cost per kilowatthour of 0.3~0.4CNY for large scale applications. Hence, ‘low cost, long life, high safety and easy recycling’ should be regarded as the development target of energy storage technology. Research on innovative technologies and products should be emphasized on the basis of comprehensive consideration of system manufacturing, system life, safety and recycling. The energy storage cost analysis of this paper will help to build a marketoriented green energy storage technology innovation system.

    Prior load identification methods have encountered a challenge in improving identification accuracy and being deployed. For example, the identification accuracy of traditional classical methods is relatively low, and advanced deep learning methods are difficult to deploy on embedded devices due to their complex models. In this paper, a novel load identification method based on high-frequency samples is proposed. The fast Fourier transform and Hilbert transform are applied to extract the features of samples both in time and frequency domain. Then, based on extreme learning machine, a feature fusion learning scheme is proposed to obtain mapping relationship between extracted features and load types. Furthermore, a window adjustment method is designed to obtain the optimal model and the most proper sampling length. In experiment, the proposed method is evaluated on two high-frequency public datasets, BLUED and PLAID. Based on the experiment results, it can be proved that the proposed method has a faster speed, better performance, and easier to be deployed on embedded devices to the previous.

The driver features high circuit efficiency and high power factor. Finally, a 144W prototype is fabricated and tested in the lab, with the highest efficiency up to 93.4% and the experimental results demonstrate the functionalities of the proposed LED driver.

    An LCC-LCC/S configurable compensation network based wireless power transfer (WPT) charging system for the electric vehicle battery is studied in this paper. The primary and secondary compensation network topology of loosely coupled transformer can be shifted from constant current-constant current (CC-CC) structure to constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) structure by topologies switching according to battery management system to achieve CC or CV output characteristic under variable load. Furthermore, a current direction based control strategy is proposed, which can reduce the hard-switch voltage stresses on the bidirectional semiconductor switches. Specifically, the switching order in mode transition is optimized to suppress the transient voltage spikes. Finally, an 1 kW experimental prototype is built with a 400 V input and a battery-charging simulating resistor load. A CC output of 10 A and a CV output of 105 V are realized against time-variable load. The current or voltage fluctuation is tested to be small and the voltage spiker during the mode transition process is ignorable. The zero voltage switch of the inverter is realized.

    In the island microgrid, using the VSG control strategy to control the inverter can effectively increase the inertia and damping of the system and improve the stability of the island microgrid system. When multiple VSGs are operated in parallel, the reactive power cannot be accurately distributed by the drooping coefficient. Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes a voltage compensation strategy based on distributed quadratic controller. The distributed secondary controller obtains the reactive power value of each VSG, adaptively adjusts the VSG stator reactance value according to the required reactive power, and indirectly controls the actual value of the reactive power output of the inverter to achieve the goal of accurate reactive power distribution. This control strategy does not require line impedance information and is robust in the event of network communication failure,and in practical applications, the bandwidth requirement for the communication network can be reduced. At the same time, the matching method of VSG parameters in parallel operation is given. Finally, three VSG parallel simulation models are built in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control strategy.

    Aiming at the methaneair mixtures at room temperature and one bar pressure, the breakdown tests in 500μm~5mm range of clearance have been performed to study the effect of gas dielectric on the breakdown of short circuit discharge with the IEC safety spark test apparatus (IECSSTA). The experimental results show that the relationship between the breakdown voltage and gap distance fits to the typical gasbreakdown chart with changing the methaneair mixtures. For 85% methaneair mixtures, the lowest voltage is about 300v which is far larger than the operation voltage of the test circuits with IECSSTA. It is also shown that the discharge process does not belong to the category of gas discharge, and the effect of gas dielectric on the breakdown of the gap can be ignored. It is pointed out that the discharge process can be categorized into vacuum discharge rather than gas discharge, and the dominant breakdown mechanism of the discharge is the cathode electron emission. Short circuit discharge experiments of capacitive circuit in different media environment with the IECSSTA are performed, The experiment results are in good agreement with the analysis showing the feasibility of the proposed methods.

    There is a strong relationship between carrier lifetime of Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) physical model and dynamic or static characteristics. The existing turn-off current-tail based parameter extraction method of carrier lifetime assumes that the deceasing of current-tail mainly depends on the carrier recombination in N-base neglecting the extraction of electron from anode, therefore there is a limitation when applying to IGCT in which the extraction of electron from anode is enhanced by using transparent anode structure. In this paper, based on doping concentration dependent carrier lifetime model and Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination model, the coupled relation between carrier lifetimes in different regions is analyzed; the distribution characteristics of minority carrier and its current are discussed and analyzed by taking the PN junction near anode side as a short diode considering that the thickness of transparent anode is much less than the minority carrier diffusion length; then an improved method of carrier lifetime extraction is proposed. At last, the parameters of carrier lifetime in different region are derived from experiment as the effective carrier lifetime varying with the applied voltage; and good agreement between the experimental data and simulation results of double-pulse show the correctness of the proposed method of parameters extraction.

    Wave energy power generation is an effective means of utilizing clean and renewable marine energy. Because of the instability and dispersion of wave energy, the energy conversion efficiency of wave power generation system is low, which restricts the development of wave power generation technology. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a certain power control method to make full use of wave resources and improve wave energy conversion efficiency in wave power generation system. In this paper, the power control theory of wave power generation, amplitude-phase control and complex conjugate control, is briefly introduced. Various power control methods proposed at home and abroad in recent years are classified and analyzed. The development trend of power control research is expounded. Wave prediction and intelligent control are the research hotspots in the future, considering the large scale in the future. It is necessary to study the multi-objective optimal control problem of combining power control objectives with other control objectives for grid-connected array wave power generation devices.

    Aiming at the phenomenon of the DC voltage imbalance for the cascade H-Bridge shunt active power filter(SAPF),in order to stabilize the DC voltage,balance the DC voltage among phases and balance the DC voltage of each unit,this paper presents a three-stage balance strategy of DC voltage based on phase disposition-switching frequency optimal-PWM(PD-SFO-PWM).When the DC voltage imbalance occurs,the strategy plays the role of regulating.Compared with the traditional balance strategy,because the modulation strategy has both the modulation function and the function of balancing the DC voltage of each unit,it avoids to design the extra strategy of balancing the DC voltage of each unit, which greatly reduces the complexity of the balance strategy.Finally,this paper conducted the simulation of seven-level SAPF and verified the feasibility of the balance strategy.In a short period of time,the balance strategy can achieve a balance effect and ensure the stability of SAPF with a smaller overshoot.
