摘要：power System Stabilizer (PSS) was proposed during 1960s to solve the low frequency oscillation problem raised by the wide application of the high-gain fast-response exciters. The fundamentals of PSS design lie in the angle compensation to increase the damping torque, which, since then, has become an important principle in designing the various power system dampers, such as SVC, TCSC, UPFC. Although many papers have been dedicated to the application of this principle, it is interesting to note that in the real industry applications PSS parameters have to be carefully tuned on site in spite of its mature design theory. So does the classical PSS design theory really meet the PSS design demand? By combining the frequency domain and the time domain analysis, this paper reinvestigates the basic idea behind the classical PSS design theory. The paper clarifies the con-cepts of the synchronous torque as well as the damping torque and proves that the classical PSS design principles based on these concepts are not theoretically sound. Then the paper discusses the Linear Optimal Controller Design method and ana-lyzes its relations with the conventional PID design. By doing so the paper reveals the real mechanism of the PSS and proposes to use more systematic and advanced control tools to enhance the controller performance.

摘要：Possibility of serious harmonic distortion (SHD) increases as multi-infeed direct current (MIDC) transmission develops rapidly in recent years. In this paper, the mechanism of high voltage direct current (HVDC) controller working against SHD is proposed for theoretical derivation of phase locked loop (PLL) output and valve commutation process. To reduce static error of constant extinction angle (CEA) controller and enhance active power transmission, the insertion of current error (CE) controller into CEA is minified. A calculation of inverter operating point is proposed in the end. The correctness of mechanism and algorithm is verified through power systems computer aided design (PSCAD) simulation.

摘要：It has been shown that the deployment of device-to-device(D2D) communication in cellular systems can provide better support for local services. However, improper design of the hybrid system may cause severe interference between cellular and D2D links. In this paper, we consider transceiver design for the system employing multiple antennas to mitigate the interference. The precoder and decoder matrices are optimized in terms of sum mean squared error(MSE) and capacity, respectively. For the MSE minimization problem, we present an alternative transceiver optimization algorithm. While for the non-convex capacity maximization problem, we decompose the primal problem into a sequence of standard convex quadratic programs for efficient optimization. The evaluation of our proposed algorithms for performance enhancement of the entire D2D integrated cellular system is carried out through simulations.

摘要：At present the detecting of ultra high voltage direct current (UHVDC) earth electrode frequently uses manual inspection. This method can't get the real-time operational data of the earth electrodes, and meanwhile, the labor cost is very high. In order to satisfy the security needs of UHVDC, this paper designs an on-line monitoring system for UHVDC earth electrode. By 3G wireless communication-technologies, the system can monitor remotely many kinds of data such as the value of the grounding current, water level of the observation well, soil temperature and humidity near the earth electrode, the micro-climate around the earth electrode site, video data, etc. Through analyzing the datum, the system has broad prospect on fault detection and life evaluation of the UHVDC earth electrode.

摘要：Energy crisis promotes the development of renewable energy, especially the solar energy. Sun tracking system proposed in this paper is such a device for efficiency improvement. This closed loop tracking system with two axis sun tracking method is controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC) and is used for a large dish solar collector. A combination tracking mode combined active and passive tracking methods used in the design make the tracker efficient whatever the circumstances. Two stepper motors and two reduction boxes move the device towards the sun with chain transmission. Besides sun tracking, the system also has functions of overheat monitoring, wind speed monitoring and measurement of illumination.

摘要：Due to the increasing amount of photovoltaic (PV)-based power generation being connected to power systems, issues pertaining to the integration of the PV-based generators have attracted intense attention. In this connection, the design of a PV-based stabilizer for enhancing power system dynamic stability is examined. The damping action is achieved through the independent control of real power flow from the stabilizer and voltage at the point of common coupling between the stabilizer and grid system. The stabilizer system is designed based on classical frequency response technique. Robustness of the proposed control strategy in enhancing network dynamic stability is demonstrated through computer simulation.
