Nominal electric field calculation at the ground level of UHV DC transmission lines based on radial basis function method

Nominal electric field at ground level is one of the important factors for the design of transmission lines. FEM meets two big challenges in electromagnetic field computation. One comes from the mesh generation, which is a big difficulty especially in complex geometry. The other is the long time calculation. So the radial basis function method is introduced to calculate the nominal electric field at the ground level of UHVDC transmission lines. Not only the definition and ideas, but also the detailed implementation procedure of radial basis function method are presented. Computer programs are developed to simulate the model and the influences of conductor configuration on nominal electric field intensity are analyzed. Examples of calculation show that the results are accorded with those available literatures, and agreed satisfactorily with analytic solutions of the coaxial cable model. The height of the polar lines and conductor inter-spacing has a remarkable influence on ground nominal electric field intensity while the sub-conductor radius and number of sub-conductors have little influence.

The problem of transmission network planning is studied thoroughly by applying the mathmatical optimal tecqhniue in this paper. A novel approach is put forward for computer aided transmission network planning, which is quite different from what is based on D.C. load flow equations. A nonlinear transmission planning model is set up by regarding A.C. load flow equations as the system model. A practical model which can be solved more easily, and an united algorithm are obtained by applying the SUMT to the nonlinear model. The results of some practical examples indicate that this method can not only make the planning results more accurate, but also provide the voltage qualities and produce planning plans autometically and seek the plans optimally and fast.

Modeling and control of An LCL bi-directional inductive power transfer system

Since there exist high-frequency switching networks and complicated operating modes in bi-directional inductive power transfer (IPT) system, it is easy to result in high harmonics and EMI interference. An LCL filter network is introduced to effectively filter out the unwanted harmonics in track current and reduce EMI interference. Based on a mathematical model of the power transmission established by complex analysis of the AC variables, under the condition of maximum transmission efficiency, the phase angle differences between the primary input voltage and secondary output voltage U·so are ±90° and the energy is respectively transferred in forward or backward direction. Moreover, the power magnitude can be controlled by adjusting the modulus of U·pi and U·so. In addition, to keep the track current constant, different phase-shifting control strategies are designed in the primary and secondary parts. Simulation and experimental results show that these strategies can not only adjust track current to keep constant but also dynamically change the direction and magnitude of power transmission according to the working conditions and actual needs of the system load to improve the system operating efficiency.

Study on constant current control of inductive power transfer with parameter identification

Aiminy at magnetic exciting current (resonant current) control, a constant current control method based on dynamic parameter identification is put forward. With energy conversion analysis, the energy storage, supply and dissipation functions of the system resonant network are constructed. The reflecting impedance identification functions are obtained by constructing the energy equilibrium relations in a period and among several periods. Furthermore, a constant current control strategy by regulating the system input voltage with Buck converter is presented. Combining the relations among system input voltage, the envelope of resonant current and the input of Buck converter, the constant current control law is proposed. The control law is verified with experiments. For the proposed method, in parameter identification, only the data of zero crossing point of resonant voltage and current are required, which reduces the complexity and costs of sampling system. Also, the constant current control law does not need complex computation and is easy to implement.     

Calculation of lumped parameter of two-port network forvolume conduction energy transfer

Skin electrode unit is a channel through which energy can be transferred to the implanted device by volume conduction. The unit can be equivalent to lumped circuit, but so far there are no appropriate calculation methods of these circuit parameters, so variable load method based on field-circuit coupled is proposed. A skin electrode unit field circuit coupled model is established to obtain the relationship of the network parameters between voltage and current at electrode port, and the amplitude and phase of the power signal is extracted by the use of all phase FFT spectrum analysis. On this basis, equivalent circuit impedance parameters of the skin electrode unit under various conditions are obtained by the application of variable load method and the validity of the method is verified. As a result, the equivalent circuit impedance parameters obtained in this way can be used for the circuit analysis and optimization of the volume conduction energy transfer system.     

Response Spectrum Method for Seismic Response Calculation of Pipeline System Multiply Supported on Structures

In order to ensure the function of building in the earthquake, reduce economic losses and facilitate post-disaster relief, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the seismic performance of pipeline system on the structure under seismic excitation. Considering this practical need, seismic response calculation methods of piping systems on structures were systematically studied. Firstly, theoretical derivation was performed based on the pseudo-excitation method for seismic response of pipeline system. It is found that the formula in previous studies has obvious defect: the accurate relative displacement values of degree of freedom near the supports can not be obtained in the formula. Thereby, the theoretical basis for derivation was mended to correct the defect, and the uniform combination expressions available for pipeline's seismic response calculation which is in the form of ground response spectrum or floor response spectrum were presented. Moreover, the simplified formulas and calculation method of correlation coefficients in the obtained expressions were put forward according to the assumption of white noise earthquake excitation. Finally, case studies were adopted to verify the proposed method's effectiveness and applicability in the seismic response calculation of pipeline system.     

Wrinkle modeling based on shape control functions and adaptive subdivision

Realistic wrinkles are an extremely important contribution for enhancing the realism of three dimensional (3D) face model.For different shapes of the wrinkle in three views, this paper proposes three shape control functions for each view, namely, cross-sectional shape control function (CSCF), depth attenuation function (DAF) and width attenuation function (WAF).CSCF is used to realistically and naturally express the furrows and bulges of wrinkles. Depth attenuation function and width attenuation function are applied to control the attenuation variations of the depth and width. Users can create various wrinkles just defining several intuitive parameters. Meanwhile, an image matching technique based on feature is employed to obtain three dimensional wrinkle lines. And a simple adaptive subdivision approach is proposed in the predefined influence region to adjust the resolution around the wrinkle mesh for better results and enhance the efficiency of wrinkle modeling simultaneously. Comparing experiment results with the corresponding image demonstrates that our method can generate realistic and natural wrinkles and can greatly improve the similarity of face model.     

A preventive control model for static voltage stability considering the power constraints of weak branches

The voltage instability of power system often occurs when the active power on one or more weak branches exceeds its transfer capability. A preventive control model for static voltage stability is proposed using the active power transfer capability of weak branches as static voltage stability constraints. A local line based voltage stability index is used to determine the critical contingencies, weak branches and transfer capability of each weak branch. A static security analysis method, which is based on DC power flow equations, is used to establish the non linear active power flow expressions on weak branches following each critical contingency. The active power constraints on weak branches can be obtained from the active power flow expressions and transfer capabilities of weak branches. A quadratic optimal model for preventive control including the proposed active power constraints on weak branches is presented. The simulation results for IEEEE14 bus system and IEEE118 bus system demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed preventive control model.     

A Numerical Method for Transmission Line Equations

Transient analysis of transmission line has recently been received more attention because operating speeds in high-speed digital electronics are increasing. Transmission line equations are hyperbolic partial differential equations, firstly this paper deduces how to change transmission line equations into quasilinear differential equations , thus the transmission line equation numerical result is gotten by computing the differential formation of quasilinear differential equations. The constraint of voltage and current is be considered and lumped equivalent circuit mode at boundary network collaborated at the same time in finding boundary conditions. Finally the paper computes transient response of transmission line with two typical boundary conditions. Numerical result shows that this approach is an effective way. It is explicit algorithm with less CPU consumption which can get time field response directly. The agree-upon effective way does be frequency field method, however it could not get time response unless the numerical inverse laplace transformation (NILT) be introduced. Thus this approach is more effective than FFT algorithm.
