Partitioning Method of Virtual Microgrid Based on Electrical Coupling Strength
© 2019 Automation of Electric Power Systems Press. With the fast development in the research of smart grid and Energy Internet, more and more distributed renewable energy and energy storage devices are connected into distribution networks, intelligent development of distribution network has become an inevitable trend. It is a big challenge for large-scale conventional distribution networks to be consistent with the requirements of free, equal and flexible interaction. Virtual microgrids with high internal convergence are proposed based on electrical coupling strength, which is partitioned from conventional power distribution networks. Furthermore, an implementation framework of virtual microgrids based on extended cyber, physical and socioeconomic is put forward, three-stage research problems of boundary division, resource optimization deployment and collaborative capability management are introduced. According to the first problem, by defining the electrical coupling strength, the classical Newman fast partitioning algorithm is upgraded in complicated network to realize the automatic optimization of boundary in virtual microgrids. Through case studies, the proposed algorithm is verified to be reasonable and efficient

A GPU-based finite-size pencil beam algorithm with 3D-density correction for radiotherapy dose calculation
Targeting at the development of an accurate and efficient dose calculation
engine for online adaptive radiotherapy, we have implemented a finite size
pencil beam (FSPB) algorithm with a 3D-density correction method on GPU. This
new GPU-based dose engine is built on our previously published ultrafast FSPB
computational framework [Gu et al. Phys. Med. Biol. 54 6287-97, 2009].
Dosimetric evaluations against Monte Carlo dose calculations are conducted on
10 IMRT treatment plans (5 head-and-neck cases and 5 lung cases). For all
cases, there is improvement with the 3D-density correction over the
conventional FSPB algorithm and for most cases the improvement is significant.
Regarding the efficiency, because of the appropriate arrangement of memory
access and the usage of GPU intrinsic functions, the dose calculation for an
IMRT plan can be accomplished well within 1 second (except for one case) with
this new GPU-based FSPB algorithm. Compared to the previous GPU-based FSPB
algorithm without 3D-density correction, this new algorithm, though slightly
sacrificing the computational efficiency (~5-15% lower), has significantly
improved the dose calculation accuracy, making it more suitable for online IMRT
replanning
A three dimensional extinction map of the Galactic Anticentre from multi-band photometry
We present a three dimensional extinction map in band. The map has a
spatial angular resolution, depending on latitude, between 3 -- 9\,arcmin and
covers the entire XSTPS-GAC survey area of over 6,000\, for Galactic
longitude and latitude . By cross-matching the photometric catalog of the Xuyi Schmidt
Telescope Photometric Survey of the Galactic Anticentre (XSTPS-GAC) with those
of 2MASS and WISE, we have built a multi-band photometric stellar sample of
about 30 million stars and applied spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting
to the sample. By combining photometric data from the optical to the
near-infrared, we are able to break the degeneracy between the intrinsic
stellar colours and the amounts of extinction by dust grains for stars with
high photometric accuracy, and trace the extinction as a function of distance
for low Galactic latitude and thus highly extincted regions. This has allowed
us to derive the best-fit extinction and distance information of more than 13
million stars, which are used to construct the three dimensional extinction
map. We have also applied a Rayleigh-Jeans colour excess (RJCE) method to the
data using the 2MASS and WISE colour . The resulting RJCE extinction
map is consistent with the integrated two dimensional map deduced using the
best-fit SED algorithm. However for individual stars, the amounts of extinction
yielded by the RJCE method suffer from larger errors than those given by the
best-fit SED algorithm.Comment: 20 pages, 18 figures, accepted in MNRA
