In the environment of the power market, available transfer capability (ATC) is a measure of transfer capability remaining in the physical transmission network for future commercial activity over and above already committed uses, then it is an important parameter for all companies participating in the power transmission activities. Widely used ATC calculation software-Powerworld simulates power transfer increment through decreasing generation output in sink area (receiving-end) using the repeated power flow method, but this simulation model does not accord with the actual circumstances of electricity shortage in China. In this paper, a combined method including linear distribution factors and repeated power flow (RPF) is proposed to perform ATC calculation, meanwhile, two scenarios can be selected to simulate power transfer increment: One is to increase the total generation output in source area as the load in sink area increases; The other is to decrease the same amount of generation in sink area while the generation output in source area is to be increased. According to the tests applied in the Northwest China power network to perform ATC calculation and analysis, this method guarantees more exact results by simulating actual transfer increasing mode of the Northwest China power network.

In this paper, an algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for power system transfer capability calculation is presented. A dual fitness scheme that takes both objective and constraint into account is adopted to evaluate the survival chance of any particle, thus avoid the drawbacks of traditional penalty method. In the evolution process, if the population best particle has no update during a prescribed number of consecutive generations, it is regarded as a local optimum solution and the searching space around this particle is locked to prevent other particles flying into it. And this particle is saved as one of the candidate solution. In the end, by comparing the fitness of all saved particles and the current population best particle, the optimum value can be obtained. This improved particle swarm algorithm is then successfully applied to IEEE118 bus system optimization problem. Compared with a traditional well-known method, sequential quadratic programming (SQP), our proposal obtains better solutions for this problem.

Conventional freehand three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound imaging systems cannot achieve real-time and interactive reconstruction. The overall design idea, 3-D reconstruction method, and hardware/software system structure of the developed real-time and interactive freehand 3-D ultrasound imaging system, which is called RIF-3DUSIS, is introduced in this article. The characteristics of RIF-3DUSIS are as follows: (1) acquisition, 3-D reconstruction, and interactive manipulation of the reconstructed volume model in real time during scanning process;(2) While scanning, not only displaying reconstructed volume dynamically to provide visual feedback, but also updating display of reconstructed ratio sequentially to conduct reconstruction plan quantitatively;(3) Showing instruction information before each operation step so as to instruct operator's work. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of real-time reconstruction and the flexibility of dynamic interaction of RIF-3DUSIS.

Traditionally, differentiation of syndromes of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) mainly depends on the information obtained from four diagnosis methods. Now many physicochemical parameters are available in clinic. There exists great correlation between TCM syndromes and physicochemical parameters. The objective of the paper is to analyze the correlation between TCM syndromes and physicochemical parameters quantitatively. Correlation analysis has been widely studied and many analysis methods have been developed. Mutual information based on entropy can measure arbitrary dependence between variables. It has been applied to many kinds of fields, especially to pattern recognition. But most works are restricted to discrete variables and little work has been done to study the relation between discrete and continuous variables. A novel algorithm is proposed to calculate the mutual information between discrete and continuous variables. It is used to analyze the correlation between TCM syndromes and physicochemical parameters.

Inspection robot must plan its behavior to detect the obstacles from the complex background according to their types when it is crawling along the power transmission line in order to negotiate reliably. However, in most instances, detecting the obstacles from the complex background is a hard task. For this purpose, a novel and fast visual obstacle recognition algorithm is designed based on the structure of the 220 KV power transmission line. Basic principle and architecture of the algorithm are given. By this approach, three typical obstacles on the power transmission line such as insulator strings, counterweights and suspension clamps can be recognized with high accuracy. Experiments in the real power transmission line show its effectiveness. This method can contribute to the process of the mobile robot negotiating obstacles

When studying the regular polygonal inclusion in 1997, Nozaki and Taya discovered numerically some remarkable properties of Eshelby tensor: Eshelby tensor at the center and the averaged Eshelby tensor over the inclusion domain are equal to that of a circular inclusion and independent of the orientation of the inclusion. Then Kawashita and Nozaki justified the properties mathematically. In the present paper, some other properties of a regular polygonal inclusion are discovered. We find that for an N-fold regular polygonal inclusion except for a square, the arithmetic mean of Eshelby tensors at N rotational symmetrical points in the inclusion is also equal to the Eshelby tensor for a circular inclusion and independent of the orientation of the inclusion. Furthermore, in two corollaries, we point out that Eshelby tensor at the center, the averaged Eshelby tensor over the inclusion domain, and the line integral average of Eshelby tensors along any concentric circle of the inclusion are all identical with the arithmetic mean.

This paper reports an experiment on the failure of a precracked plate made of unidirectional glass-epoxy fi-ber-reinforced composites subjected to three-point bending impact load. In the experiment, the whole process of crack growth was recorded by using high-speed photographic technique, in which a transmitted light path was adopted. Moreover, a new phenomenon of dynamic fracture has been observed. Based on the results, some preliminary studies have been carried out on the rate and path of the crack growth, as well as the failure mode.

This paper is concerned with the determination of the normal force-displacement (NFD) relation for the contact problem of cylindrical joints with clearance. A simple formulation for this contact problem is developed by modeling the pin as a rigid wedge and the elastic plate as a simple Winkler elastic foundation. The numerical results show that the normal displacement relation based on Hertz theory is only valid for the case of large clearance with a small normal load, and the NFD relation based on Persson theory is only effective in the case of very small clearance. The proposed approximate model in this paper gives better results than Hertz theory and Persson theory in a large range of clearances as seen from the comparison with the results of FEM.
