This paper introduces two enhancements to the Cumulant Method (CM) for probabilistic load flow studies. The first one is to handle the correlation between input random variables. This enhancement models the correlated input random variables as a function of several independent ones by Cholesky decomposition and modifies CM equations. The second one is to adopt Monte Carlo sampling techniques to calculate the cumulants of input random variable with complex distribution function. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approaches are verified against Monte Carlo simulation method on modified IEEE 14-bus system. The impacts of wind speed correlation on power system operation are investigated by the proposed approaches.

TiAl-based alloy may be considered as a potential material for high-temperature applications, such as rotating components of advanced ground and space vehicles. In order to manufacture large or complex structural components, it is necessary to bond TiAl-based alloy to other materials. In particular, the bonding technology of TiAl-based alloy to structural steel using brazing method has been carried out. The mechanical response of the reaction phases of the brazed joint is rarely studied. In this study TiAl and steel were brazed with the AgCuTi filler metal. The joint zone between the mating surfaces features a complex structure: Al-Cu-Ti ternary intermetallic reaction layer, AgCu residue filler, AlCu2Ti intermetallic dispersed in the residue braze and TiC layer. Mechanical properties of the reaction phases and base metals were studied by using the continuous instrumented micro indentation and conventional Vickers hardness testing. The hardness of the tested phases demonstrates a descending order as follows: (i) the Al-Cu-Ti ternary intermetallic reaction layer adjacent to TiAl substrate (ii) the AlCu2Ti intermetallic in the residue AgCu filler (iii) TiAl base metal (iv) steel (v) AgCu residue filler. The mechanical responses of the tested phases, in terms of the indentation depth are consistent with the results of hardness tests: the phases with smaller hardness are always associated with a larger indentation depth. Under the same testing conditions the Young's modulus of the TiAl substrate, Al-Cu-Ti ternary intermetallic layer, AlCu2Ti intermetallic in the residue AgCu filler, AgCu residue phase, and the steel were determined.

This paper presents an analytical method for prediction of equivalent circuit parameter of a solid rotor induction motor with smooth surface. The solid rotor induction motor is similar to a linear induction motor in electromagnetic properties. Therefore, the method of performance calculation for LIM can be applied for the solid rotor induction motor. On the principle of complex power from the equivalent circuit identical to that from electromagnetic field, we develop an analytical model based on 2D polar coordinates and account for the influence of nonlinearity and hysteresis.

Available transfer capability (ATC) has become an important indicator in the power system operation and planning. In order to better guide dispatchers to make decisions, this paper focuses on improving integrity of the calculation model and robustness of the algorithm. Based on the analysis of power incremental directions, constraints checking and system instable risk on ATC, a fast calculation algorithm for dynamic ATC is presented. Through improving the repeated power flow (RPF) method, this calculation framework is applicable in bulk interconnected grid. The online application of developed software in practical power grid verifies the validity and applicability of the proposed approach.

Energy crisis and environmental pollution make the electric vehicle (EV) become a hot topic. The connection of EVs to the power grid brings great challenges to the electric utilities. This paper proposes a multiobjective network reconfiguration methodology based on quantum-inspired binary particle swarm algorithm that aims at alleviating the adverse impact of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) on distribution system. The fuzzy sets are used to handle the multiobjective. The methodology involves two steps: load level division and network reconfiguration on each load level. Two different charging patterns of PHEV are considered in this analysis: uncoordinated charging and coordinated charging. The simulation results of a 33-bus distribution system show that the proposed methodology has a good effect on achieving the energy loss reduction and improving the voltage quality considering the charging load of PHEV.
