Ground impedance measuring elements (ground elements), which are responsible for removing single-phase-to-ground faults in distance relays, are highly prone to underreach when facing a significant resistance in the fault path. This paper proposes a new ground element with ensured dependability in high fault resistance conditions for the first-zone digital distance relaying of parallel lines. The proposed ground element functions on the basis of the fault distance and fault resistance it estimates, online during the faults, through the equation derived from the voltages and currents of the distributed-parameters line model. Hence, it will be particularly applicable to the parallel lines of long length in which the distributed parameters effect is significant. The proposed element requires only the data acquired at the relaying location. Further, its function is independent of the structural configuration of the system. Unlike conventional ground elements, the proposed element preserves its security in case of irrelevant-circuit as well as external faults. Simulation studies conducted in MATLAB and PSCAD/EMTDC examine the proposed ground element in a variety of influencing situations, and the results reveal that it accurately trips the faults in the first zone with no incidence of underreach in case of high resistance faults. The accuracy of the proposed element is over 99.4% and its tripping time within 0.3-1.3cycles. Copyright (c) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In recent years, the occurrence of high-voltage cable buffer layer ablation faults has become frequent, posing a serious threat to the safe and stable operation of cables. Failure to promptly detect and address such faults may lead to cable breakdowns, impacting the normal operation of the power system. To overcome the limitations of existing methods for identifying buffer layer ablation faults in high-voltage cables, a method for identifying buffer layer ablation faults based on frequency domain impedance spectroscopy and artificial intelligence is proposed. Firstly, based on the cable distributed parameter model and frequency domain impedance spectroscopy, a mathematical model of the input impedance of a cable containing buffer layer ablation faults is derived. Through a simulation, the input impedance spectroscopy at the first end of the cables under normal conditions, buffer layer ablation, local aging, and inductive faults is performed, enabling the identification of inductive and capacitive faults through a comparative analysis. Secondly, the frequency domain amplitude spectroscopy of the buffer layer ablation and local aging faults are used as datasets and are input into a neural network model for training and validation to identify buffer layer ablation and local aging faults. Finally, using multiple evaluation metrics to assess the neural network model validates the superiority of the MLP neural network in cable fault identification models and experimentally confirms the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate both the temperature and the initial moisture content of the material in mathematical models of drying. For this, empirical lumped parameter models were fitted based on experimental data of moisture over time. Furthermore, a new semi-empirical drying kinetics model was applied. This model was developed using the generalization of arbitrary order of the Lewis equation obtained through the Laplace transform. After performing the fit, the fractional order model for drying wheat seeds as a temperature function was generalized. distributed parameter models were also fitted to evaluate the influence of initial moisture content on drying kinetics and to estimate the moisture profile along the position inside the seed. It was verified that the fractional order model presented statistical results similar to models with a higher number of constants, being used to generalize the kinetic drying model for the three wheat cultivars. Generalized models showed better fits for the 3 cultivars with first-degree function, and the maximum global deviation was 10%, 15%, and 20% for the cultivars BRS-Atoba, BRS-Jacana, and BRS-Sanhaco, respectively. In addition, the distribution of moisture content inside the seed was verified by the distributed parameter model, which predicted the experimental data with an overall deviation of around 10%.

This paper describes the principle of a new current differential relay developed for a 1000-kV UHV transmission line that is being constructed in China. The distributed capacitive current along the relatively long overhead line will have a significant effect on the relay performance and should be taken into account in the relay principle. The study results in a new current differential relay based on the steady state transmission line equations, in which the distributed capacitive current is inherently represented. Analysis is carried out for different practical situations where shunt reactors or series capacitors are present in the system for compensation. Laboratory tests show that the relay principle developed in this study can be used as a main protection scheme for the 1000-kV UHV transmission line.

optimal open/closed-loop control of a Rayleigh beam relative to a specified performance measure is investigated. A method to suppress the undesired transient beam vibrations is proposed and utilized to obtain numerical results for different problem parameters. With the assumption of a prescribed closed-loop control law, the Fourier-type open-loop optimal control law is derived in closed form through minimization of the performance measure via a calculus-of-variations technique. Numerical results presented in graphical form indicate that a feedback control mechanism may be effectively utilized in the presence of an open-loop control.

Partially surface texturing is a promising technology to improve the performance of thrust pad bearing. Moreover, how to design the distribution parameters of local textures is a crucial issue of the amelioration of lubrication and anti-friction. Hence, the synergistic effect of micro dimples' distribution parameters was systematically investigated by numerical and experimental approaches. The textured region area ratio (TRAR) was defined to analyze the synergy of radial and circumferential parameters. Then, a series of frictional tests were conducted with different positions and proportions. The results showed that the CPP and RPP directly determined the efficacy of the 'equivalent Rayleigh step' which could enhance the cumulative response of hydrodynamic lubrication. Meanwhile, there was an optimal TRAR (about 0.8) according to the favorable fitting curve with R Square (R-2) being 0.9013. And circumferential proportion parameter (CPP) and radial proportion parameter (RPP) exhibit an interactive relationship which was dependent on the optimal TRAR. On the other hand, for generating the 'inlet roughness' and 'open pocket', the circumferential location parameter (CLP) of local textures needed to keep close to the inlet without consideration of the radial location parameter (RLP) due to the negligible influence.

The article presents a one-dimensional mathematical model for simulating the transient processes which occur in liquid flat-plate solar collectors. The proposed method considers a collector model with distributed parameters. In the model, the boundary conditions can be time dependent. The proposed model is based on solving equations which describe the energy conservation for the glass cover, air gap between cover and absorber, absorber, working fluid, and insulation. The differential equations derived were solved using the implicit finite-difference method in an iterative scheme. All thermo-physical properties of the fluid, absorber and air gap are computed in real time. The time-spatial distributions of heat transfer coefficients are also computed in the on-line mode. In order to experimentally verify the proposed method, a test bench was built and measurements were carried out. Comparing the measurement results of the transient fluid temperature at the collector outlet with computational results, satisfactory convergence is found. The proposed method is appropriate for the verification of the effectiveness of various absorbers and their surface coatings, without the need to carry out research on existing collectors. It allows the influence of fluid mass flowrate on the collector performance to be analysed and collector time constant to be determined. The presented model is suitable for collectors working in a parallel or in a serpentine tube arrangement with single or double covers.

This study investigates the dynamics of ultrashort light pulses in an inhomogeneous optical medium exhibiting all orders of nonlinearity up to the ninth order. The research focuses on exploring the existence and properties of self -similar solitons while varying cubic, quintic, septic, and nonic nonlinearities, group velocity dispersion, and loss or gain. It is found that the transmission system supports the existence of novel types of self -similar bright and dark pulses in the presence of various physical processes. Importantly, these self -similar localized waves exhibit a linear chirp, a crucial factor for achieving effective pulse amplification or compression. Based on the chirp property, the dynamical behaviors of these self -similar waveforms are discussed in a periodically distributed amplification system. The findings highlight that the shape and dynamics of these chirped selfsimilar pulses can be precisely controlled by selecting appropriate profiles for gain or loss, nonlinearity, and dispersion. Additionally, the research numerically discusses the interaction dynamics between two and three adjacent solitons.

Energy harvesters play the vital role in replacing/recharging the electrochemical batteries in low-power electronic devices. Non-linear piezoelectric energy harvesters generate electrical power from broadband frequency spectrum using ambient vibrational sources. Non-linear cutout 2- degree of freedom (DOF) piezo-magneto-elastic (PME) energy harvester has been proposed to enhance the bandwidth where two close resonant peaks are achieved using magnetic interaction. In this paper, the novel theoretical distributed parametric model of cutout 2-DOF energy harvester is presented which can predict the dynamic behavior of the linear (without magnetic force) and non-linear monostable configurations accurately. The closed-form analytical solutions are derived for the harvested electrical responses and displacements using forcing function, forward and backward coupling factors through Extended Hamilton principle, Galerkin approach, and Euler-Lagrange equations. Specifically, the static displacements and tuned resonant frequencies are obtained as a function of the initial distance between the two magnets in attractive and repulsive configurations. The theoretical findings are validated with COMSOL simulation results and experimental data. The comparison among theoretical, finite-element, and experimental results show that the developed model of cutout 2-DOF piezo-magneto-elastic energy harvester can accurately predict the response for linear and non-linear monostable configurations.

The performance of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar collector had been studied theoretically and experimentally for some years. Air and water streams were used as the heat carriers for space heating or services hot water systems. The cooling effect allows the PV module to work at lower temperature and its PV efficiency is therefore improved. However, such an advantage diminishes when the solar irradiance is high. To improve the situation a new type of PV/T collector is proposed. It works as the evaporator of a heat pump, in that refrigerant evaporates in the tubing at the back of the flat-plate collector and the PV module is adhered to the front surface. Mathematical models were developed to simulate the complex energy conversion processes. Numerical analysis was then performed based on the distributed parameters approach. An experimental rig was also built to test its real performance. Our results showed that the PV/T evaporator had an overall efficiency in the range of 0.64-0.87, thermal efficiency 0.53-0.64 and PV efficiency 0.124-0.135. The simulation results were found in good agreement with the experiment measurements. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
