In this paper, we investigate the frequency response range of this novel detection technology by simulating the motion of carriers in gallium arsenide(GaAs) by the ensemble Monte Carlo method. At room temperature, for a direct-current(DC) voltage of 20 kV/cm applied to the semiconductor(GaAs) and sampling time o140 fs, the luminescence quenching phenomena induced by terahertz pulses with different center frequencies are studied The results show that the quenching efficiency is independent of the THz frequency when the frequency is in a range o0.1 THz–4 THz. However, when the frequency exceeds 4 THz, the efficiency decreases with the increase of frequency Therefore, the frequency response range is 0.1 THz–4 THz. Moreover, when the sampling time is changed to 100 fs the frequency response range is extended to be approximately 0.1 THz–5.6 THz. This study of the frequency-dependen characteristics of the luminescence response to the THz pulse can provide a theoretical basis for the exploration of THz detection technology.展开更多

For the clarification of such a suspicion normally imaging techniques are used. Such equipment is expensive and therefore is located in hospitals. In addition to the costs, a transport causes stress for the patient. This pilot study is devoted to the question whether the detection of a femoral neck fracture with vibration measurements is possible in principal. In such a case, the clarification could be done on-site by an ordinary person using much cheaper equipment. This would reduce the stress for the patient and save money. For this purpose vibration measurements on a dead body with intact, with partially fractured and with complete cut femoral neck have been performed. Two different methods for the vibration initiation have been investigated, the so called impact testing and the shaker testing. The frequency response function has been determined for all combinations on both sides of the body. It turned out that there is a clear difference in the frequency response functions of the fractured bone with respect to the intact bone when shaker testing is used. This indicates that the method could have the potential to be a cost-saving alternative to imaging techniques. However, in a next step a statistically reliable clinical survey on living persons needs to be done.展开更多

The sound at a distant point from a loudspeaker is related to the diaphragm displacement. Since the induced e.m.f is proportional to the voice coil velocity,measurement of induced e.m.f enables us to obtain the displacement of the cone and hence we can plot the SPL curve for a loudspeaker.

文摘The continuous development of hydrogen-electrolyser and fuel-cell technologies not only reduces their investment and operating costs but also improves their technical performance to meet fast-acting requirements of electrical grid balancing services such as frequency-response services.In order to project the feasibility of co-locating a hydrogen-storage system with a wind farm for the dynamic regulation frequency-response provision in Great Britain,this paper develops a modelling framework to coordinate the wind export and frequency responses to the main grid and manage the interaction of the electrolyser,compressor,storage tank and fuel cell within the hydrogen-storage system by respecting the market mechanisms and the balance and conversion of power and hydrogen flows.Then the revenue of frequency-response service provision and a variety of costs induced by the hydrogen-storage system are translated into the net profit of the co-location system,which is maximized by optimizing the capacities of hydrogen-storage-system components,hydrogen-storage levels that guide the hydrogen restoration via operational baselines and the power interchange between a wind-farm and hydrogen-storage system,as well as the capacities tendered for low-and high-frequency dynamic regulation services.The developed modelling framework is tested based on a particular 432-MW offshore wind farm in Great Britain combined with the techno-economics of electrolysers and fuel cells projected for 2030 and 2050 scenarios.The optimized system configuration and operation are compared between different operating scenarios and discussed alongside the prospect of applying hydrogen-storage systems for frequency-response provision.
文摘Recently,the fast frequency response(FFR)service by large-scale battery energy storage systems(BESSs)has been successfully proved to arrest the frequency excursion during an unexpected power outage.However,adequate frequency response relies on proper evaluation of the contingency reserve of BESSs.The BESS FFR reserve is commonly managed under fixed contracts,ignoring various response characteristics of different BESSs and their coexisting interactions.This paper proposes a new methodology based on dynamic grid response and various BESS response characteristics to optimise the FFR reserves and prevent the frequency from breaching the under-frequency load shedding(UFLS)thresholds.The superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated to manage three large-scale BESSs operating simultaneously in an Australian power grid under high renewable penetration scenarios.Further,the proposed method can identify remaining battery power and energy reserve to be safely utilised for other grid services(e.g.,energy arbitrage).The results can provide valuable insights for integrating FFR into conventional ancillary services and techno-effective management of multiple BESSs.

文摘Flexible strain sensors are promising in sensing minuscule mechanical signals,and thereby widely used in various advanced fields.However,the effective integration of hypersensitivity and highly selective response into one flexible strain sensor remains a huge challenge.Herein,inspired by the hysteresis strategy of the scorpion slit receptor,a bio-inspired flexible strain sensor(BFSS)with parallel through-slit arrays is designed and fabricated.Specifically,BFSS consists of conductive monolayer graphene and viscoelastic styrene–isoprene–styrene block copolymer.Under the synergistic effect of the bio-inspired slit structures and flexible viscoelastic materials,BFSS can achieve both hypersensitivity and highly selective frequency response.Remarkably,the BFSS exhibits a high gage factor of 657.36,and a precise identification of vibration frequencies at a resolution of 0.2 Hz through undergoing different morphological changes to high-frequency vibration and low-frequency vibration.Moreover,the BFSS possesses a wide frequency detection range(103 Hz)and stable durability(1000 cycles).It can sense and recognize vibration signals with different characteristics,including the frequency,amplitude,and waveform.This work,which turns the hysteresis effect into a"treasure,"can provide new design ideas for sensors for potential applications including human–computer interaction and health monitoring of mechanical equipment.

文摘Strict enforcement of government policies to integrate high generation share from renewable energy sources(RES)like wind and PV would create inevitable operational challenges for the utilities to deliver Frequency Response(FR)services.Uncertain RES generation characteristics would worsen the situation for SO,to detain initial frequency deviation following the largest generation outage.This necessitates investigation of optimal generator combination for securing PFR adequacy with simultaneous characterization of uncertainty.In this regard,this paper proposes a novel Modified Interval(MI)based optimal generation mix formulation for operation cost minimization and FR adequacy.RES uncertainty is characterised by forecasted upper and lower bound,while hourly ramp needs are based on the net load scenarios.Proposed model is assessed on one area IEEE reliability test system.Rate of change of frequency(ROCOF)and frequency deviation are considered as network security limits to obtain optimal generation mix.Results obtained provide,overall cost performance,PFR and optimal generation mix,without violating system security criteria.This model would certainly assist SO,to enhance system’s inertia and PFR adequacy at short-term system operations and could be extended for long-term planning framework.

文摘For the planning,operation and control of multiterminal voltage source converter(VSC)based high-voltage direct current(HVDC)(VSC-MTDC)systems,an accurate power flow formulation is a key starting point.Conventional power flow formulations assume the constant frequencies for all asynchronous AC systems.Therefore,a new feature about the complex coupling relations between AC frequencies,DC voltages and the exchanged power via VSC stations cannot be characterized if VSC-MTDC systems are required to provide cross-regional frequency responses.To address this issue,this paper proposes a comprehensive frequency-dependent power flow formulation.The proposed approach takes the frequencies of asynchronous AC systems as explicit variables,and investigates the novel bus models of the interlinking buses of VSC stations.The proposed approach accommodates different operation modes and frequency droop strategies of VSC stations,and considers the power losses of VSC stations.The effectiveness and generality of the developed approach are validated by a 6-terminal VSC-HVDC test system.The test system presents the characteristics of the coexistence of numerous VSC operation modes,the absence of slack buses in both AC and DC subsystems,and diversified grid configurations such as point-to-point integration of renewable energy sources and one AC system integrated with multiple VSC stations.

文摘With the large penetration of renewable energy,fulfilling the balance between electricity demand and supply is a challenge to the modern power system.According to the UK government,the wind power penetration will reach 30%by the year 2020.The role of electric vehicles(EVs)contributing to frequency response was investigated.A dynamic frequency control strategy which considers the comfort level of vehicle owners was developed for EVs to regulate their power consumption according to the deviation of system frequency.A simulation model of a population of EVs equipped with such controlwas implemented inMatlab/Simulink platform.In this paper,a simplified Great Britain power system model is used to study the contribution of EVs to dynamic frequency control.The case study showed that using EVs as a demand response resource can greatly reduce the frequency deviations.And the rapid response from EVs can help reduce the operation cost of conventional generators.

文摘HVDC system can realize a very fast frequency response to the disturbed system under a contingency because its active power control is decoupled from the frequency deviation.However,most of existing HVDC frequency control strategies are coupled with system primary frequency control and secondary frequency control.Since the traditional system frequency control is dominated by the thermal generators,the advantage of the fast response of the HVDC system is not made fully used.The development of a frequency response estimation based on a machine learning algorithm provides another approach to improve the frequency response capability of the HVDC system.Different from other frequency deviation tracking strategies,a machine learning based HVDC frequency response control can directly increase the power flow of a HVDC system by estimation of the system generator or load lost.In this paper,a fast frequency response control using a HVDC system for a large power system disturbance based on the multivariate random forest regression(MRFR)algorithm is proposed.The simulation is carried out with an integrated power system model based on the North American interconnections.The simulation results indicate that the proposed MRFR based frequency response control can significantly improve the frequency low point during an event,while stabilizing the frequency in advance.

文摘In order to improve the harsh dynamic environment experienced by heavy rockets during different external excitations,this study presents a novel active variable stiffness vibration isolator(AVS-VI)used as the vibration isolation device to reduce excessive vibration of the whole-spacecraft isolation system.The AVS-VI is composed of horizontal stiffness spring,positive stiffness spring,parallelogram linkage mechanism,piezoelectric actuator,acceleration sensor,viscoelastic damping,and PID active controller.Based on the AVS-VI,the generalized vibration transmissibility determined by the nonlinear output frequency response functions and the energy absorption rate is applied to analyze the isolation performance of the whole-spacecraft system with AVS-VI.The AVS-VI can conduct adaptive vibration suppression with variable stiffness to the whole-spacecraft system,and the analysis results indicate that the AVS-VI is efTective in reducing the extravagant vibration of the whole-spacecraft system,where the vibration isolation is decreased up to above 65%under different acceleration excitations.Finally,different parameters of AVS-VI are considered to optimize the whole-spacecraft system based on the generalized vibration transmissibility and the energy absorption rate.

文摘Dynamic behaviour of frequency is crucial for power system operation and control.Several frequency response models have been proposed to reveal frequency dynamics from different aspects.A comprehensive software package incorporating major frequency response models is needed for analysis and control of power system frequency dynamics.In this paper,an approach for developing a programmable and open software package for frequency response studies is proposed.The framework of the package is extendable with reduced frequency response models.Essential models for frequency response study are included,e.g.,generator,load,and under-frequency load shedding(UFLS).The provided application program interfaces(APIs)enable simulation with high-level languages by calling dynamic link library and makes the package programmable.An advanced application module is developed for quantitative assessment of transient frequency deviation.APIs can also be used for model extension and secondary development.To demonstrate the usage of the package,several examples are illustrated to explain how to perform simulations with the package,and to perform advanced applications using scripting with the provided APIs.

文摘Compact supercapacitors(SCs)have attracted attention for their great potential to replace bulky aluminum electrolytic capacitors(AECs)in alternating current(AC)line filtering applications.Herein,the fabrication of a high-frequency SC is reported using Ketjen black(KB)nanoparticles doped with phosphorus(P)to achieve a high areal capacitance of up to 2.26 mF cm^(-2)along with a high-rate capability,with a phase angle of-80.2°at 120 Hz.The high performance of the phosphorus-doped KB(designated PKB)SC with a 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte is associated with its increased surface wettability and additional capacitive sites provided by the P-doping.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations further indicate that the P-doping enhances the interactions between the electrolyte ions and the carbon surface,thus leading to an improved electrochemical performance.These results suggest that the P-doped carbonbased SC could be highly favored in replacing conventional AECs in various high-frequency electronic devices.
文摘The technique of coupling two loudspeakers to obtain a signal proportional to the velocity of the cone is known. The sound at a distant point from a loudspeaker is related to the diaphragm displacement. Since the induced e.m.f is proportional to the voice coil velocity,measurement of induced e.m.f enables us to obtain the displacement of the cone and hence we can plot the SPL curve for a loudspeaker. This method has some limitations in that it is particularly applicable only when one is interested in using the output of the second speaker used as a sensor in some further applications.
文摘The finite element numerical models of the microbubble with and without shell are built in our study.The calculation results indicate that the frequency response of the shell-microbubble is different from that of microbubble without shell.Furthermore,the frequency response of microbubble is closely related to the relevant parameters of the shell.The thickness and the Young's modulus willinfluence the frequency response.The increase of the thickness or the Young's modulus of the shell leads to the increase of the resonance frequency and the decrease of the oscillation amplitude of the microbubble.
