To improve the ability of the power system to accommodate high penetration wind power, wind turbines (WTs) need to realize the mode transformation from grid-following to grid-forming, thus actively participating in the voltage regulation of the power grid with a high proportion of wind power. In this work, a reactive voltage control strategy for wind farms considering reactive power adequacy and terminal voltage balance is proposed. Firstly, the expression of the maximum reactive power regulation capacity of WT, namely reactive power adequacy, is derived under the complete wind condition based on the mathematical model and operating characteristics of WT, to study the influence of wake effect on reactive power adequacy of a wind farm. Then, the point of common coupling (PCC) voltage and terminal voltage are expressed analytically based on the radiative topology equivalent model of a wind farm, to analyze the influence of electrical distance on active power loss of wind farm. Finally, the calculation method of the adaptive gain coefficient of WT is put forward, which comprehensively considers the input wind speed and the electrical distance, to regulate the PCC voltage and terminal voltage simultaneously. The comprehensive effectiveness of the proposed strategy is demonstrated on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind farm integration simulation model. While supporting the PCC voltage, the proposed strategy maintains the balance of the terminal voltage in the wind farm, thereby improving the friendliness of wind power grid connection. Full article

The traditional black-box Thevenin equivalent method cannot analyze the influence mechanism of wind power integration on Thevenin equivalent parameters. With the increase in wind power penetration, it will be difficult to accurately assess the voltage stability of power systems with wind power. Therefore, a Thevenin equivalent analytical method is proposed to analyze the voltage stability of a power system with wind power. This method adopts the equivalent model of wind power integration based on the current source model. It establishes the Thevenin equivalent analytical model for power systems with wind power by dividing the node types. Then, the analytical expressions of the Thevenin equivalent parameters are derived based on two equivalent modes to characterize the mechanism of wind power integration on the Thevenin equivalent parameters. In addition, the calculation flow chart of the voltage stability criterion is formulated based on the analytical value of the Thevenin equivalent impedance under different load growth ratios and wind power penetrations. Finally, a case study is conducted on the improved IEEE 39 node system with wind power. The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed Thevenin equivalent analytical method, which can more accurately judge the voltage stability of the power system with wind power.

Ride comfort and driving safety are highly vulnerable to the undesirable excessive vibrations caused by road surface irregularities and the imperfect in-vehicle network (IVN). The main contribution of this paper consists of proposing a near-optimal vibration control approach for networked vehicle active suspension under irregular road excitations in a discrete-time domain, in which the uncertain time delay and packet dropout in CAN are taken into consideration. More specially, by virtue of two buffers of the sensor-to-controller network channel and the controller-to-actuator network channel in CAN, by introducing a designed state-transformation-based method, the original vibration control problem under the constraints of the irregular road excitations and imperfect CAN is transformed into a two-point boundary value (TPBV) problem without advanced and delayed items. After that, the near-optimal vibration control approach is presented to isolate the vehicle body from the road excitations and compensate the time delay and packet dropout from CAN synchronously. The stability condition of the networked vehicle active suspension under the proposed vibration controller is obtained based on the Lyapunov function. In numerous scenarios with different road roughnesses and network-induced time delays and packet dropouts, the simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed near-optimal vibration controller.

In multi-strategy games, the increase in the number of strategies makes it difficult to make a solution. To maintain the competition advantage and obtain maximal profits, one side of the game hopes to predict the opponent’s behavior. Building a model to predict an opponent’s behavior is helpful. In this paper, we propose a rough set-game theory model (RS-GT) considering uncertain information and the opponent’s decision rules. The uncertainty of strategies is obtained based on the rough set method, and an accurate solution is obtained based on game theory from the rough set-game theory model. The players obtain their competitors’ decision rules to predict the opponents’ behavior by mining the information from repeated games in the past. The players determine their strategy to obtain maximum profits by predicting the opponent’s actions, i.e., adopting a first-mover or second-mover strategy to build a favorable situation. The result suggests that the rough set-game theory model helps enterprises avoid unnecessary losses and allows them to obtain greater profits. Full article
