Recently, the heat and electricity integrated energy system (HE-IES) has become a hot topic in both industry and academia. In the HE- IES, the potential flexibility of the buildings' thermal loads can be exploited to relax the heat power balance constraints and consequently allow a more flexible operation of the combined heat and power units. In this paper, model-driven and data-driven techniques are combined to quantify the demand flexibility of the buildings' thermal loads in a non-instructive way. First, the explicit analytical equivalent thermal parameter (ETP) model of the aggregated buildings is developed. The heat transfer coefficient (k) and thermal inertia coefficient (C) of the ETP model are designated to measure the potential demand flexibility. Second, the Particle Swarm Optimization optimized Radial Basis Function neural network (PSO-RBF) is used to identify the relationship between the values of k and C and the meteorological factors. To obtain the training data, an innovative two-stage regression method based on the adaptive temporal resolution is proposed to extract k and C values from the historical thermal load data. Finally, a flexible thermal load model is built based on the predictions of the meteorological factors, which can be conveniently incorporated into the online dispatch of the HE-IES. A comprehensive simulation environment is designed to verify the accuracy and availability of the proposed technique.

A cable-driven redundant manipulator has significant potential in confined space applications, such as environmental exploration, equipment monitoring, or maintenance. A traditional design requires 3N driving motors/cables to supply 2N degrees of freedom(DOF) movement *** number of motors is 1.5 times that of the joints’ DOF, increasing the hardware cost and the complexity of the kinematics, dynamics, and control. This study develops a novel redundant space manipulator with decoupled cable-driven joints and segmented linkages. It is a 1680 mm continuum manipulator with eight DOF, consisting of four segmented linkages driven by eight motors/pairs of cables. Each segment has two equivalent DOF, which are realized by four quaternion joints synchronously driven by two linkage cables. The linkage cables of adjacent joints are symmetrically decoupled and offset at 180°. This design allows equal-angle movement of all the joints of each segment. Moreover, each decoupling driving mechanism is designed based on a pulley block composed of two fixed and movable pulleys. The two movable pulleys realize the opposite but equidistant motions of the two driving cables, i.e., pulling and loosening, assuring symmetrical movements of the two driving cables of each segment. Consequently, the equivalent 2N-DOF joints are driven only by 2N motors, significantly reducing the hardware cost and simplifying the mapping relationship between the motor angle/cable length and the joint angle. Furthermore, the bending range of each segment could reach 360°, which is three times that of a traditional design. Finally, a prototype has been developed and experimented with to verify the performance of the proposed mechanism and the corresponding algorithms.

Maintaining contact stability is crucial when the aerial manipulator interacts with the surrounding environment. In this paper, a novel output feedback framework based on a characteristic model is proposed to improve the contact stability of the aerial manipulator. First, only position measurements of the aerial manipulator are introduced to design the practical finite-time command filter-based force observer. Second, an attitude control architecture including characteristic modeling and controller design is presented. In the modeling part, input-output data is utilized to build the characteristic model with fewer parameters and a simpler structure than the traditional dynamic model. Different from conventional control methods, fewer feedback values,namely only angle information, are required for designing the controller in the controller part. In addition, the convergence of force estimation and the stability of the attitude control system are proved by the Lyapunov analysis. Numerical simulation comparisons are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the attitude controller and force observer. The comparative results demonstrate that the tracking error of x and θ channels decreases at least 10.62% and 10.53% under disturbances and the force estimation precision increases at least 45.19% in the different environmental stiffness. Finally, physical flight experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework by a self-built aerial manipulator platform.

Inaccuracy of modeling for line commutated converter based high voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) systems will degrade the reliability of small-signal stability analysis results. Taking a practical project as the study system, this paper establishes a modified dynamic model by modifying the current switching function, firing angle calculation and DC voltage calculation. Then, the accuracy of the modified model is verified by a detailed electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation. Finally, with the modified dynamic model, the impact of the control parameters and AC system strength on the small-signal stability of the overall system is investigated by adopting the eigen-analysis. The results clearly demonstrate that the modified model shows higher accuracy than the original model.

Levitation failure occasionally occurs when a maglev vehicle runs on a track. At the moment of levitation failure, the levitation module falls and hits the track, and there is a violent impact on the maglev vehicle-bridge coupled system. In this paper, the response of the maglev vehicle-bridge coupled system at the moment of and after levitation failure is analyzed, and three methods of reducing the vibration are proposed. First, a dynamics model of the maglev vehicle-bridge coupled system, which considers the control system, five flexible bridges, and track irregularity, is established, and the correctness of the model is verified using test data. The system response for different failure cases is then analyzed. Finally, the three methods of reducing vibration under levitation failure are proposed, and their effectiveness is evaluated. The results show that the failure position and speed barely affect the response, whereas the maximum impact forces due to levitation failure reduced by 13%, 63%, and 50% by adopting the three methods, namely connecting the first and third coils in series, coupling the ends of the levitation module vertically, and adopting two sets of anti-roll devices, respectively. When the latter two schemes are combined, the maximum impact force reduced from 133 kN(without vibration-reduction measures) to 9 kN, and the vibration-reduction measure is also effective for failures of the levitation units at the ends of the vehicle.
