Research on the mechanism of neutral-point voltage fluctuation and capacitor voltage balancing control strategy of three-phase three-level T-type inverter

In order to solve the neutral-point voltage fluctuation problem of three-phase threelevel T-type inverters (TPTLTIs), the unbalance characteristics of capacitor voltages under different switching states and the mechanism of neutral-point voltage fluctuation are revealed. Based on the mathematical model of a TPTLTI, a feed-forward voltage balancing control strategy of DC-link capacitor voltages error is proposed. The strategy generates a DC bias voltage using a capacitor voltage loop with a proportional integral (PI) controller. The proposed strategy can suppress the neutral-point voltage fluctuation effectively and improve the quality of output currents. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified through simulations. An experimental prototype of a TPTLTI based on Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is built. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified through experiment. The results from simulations and experiment match very well

A new post-frac evaluation method for shale gas wells based on fracturing curves

AbstractPost-fracturing evaluation by using limited data is of great significance to continuous improvement of the fracturing programs. In this paper, a fracturing curve was divided into two stages (i.e., prepad fluid injection and main fracturing) so as to further understand the parameters of reservoirs and artificial fractures. The brittleness and plasticity of formations were qualitatively identified by use of the statistics of formation fracture frequency, and average pressure dropping range and rate during the prepad fluid injection. The composite brittleness index was quantitatively calculated by using the energy zones in the process of fracturing. It is shown from the large-scale true triaxial physical simulation results that the complexity of fractures is reflected by the pressure fluctuation frequency and amplitude in the main fracturing curve, and combined with the brittleness and plasticity of formations, the fracture morphology far away from the well can be diagnosed. Well P, a shale gas well in SE Chongqing, was taken as an example for post-fracturing evaluation. It is shown that the shale beds are of stronger heterogeneity along the extension directions of horizontal wells, and with GR 260 API as the dividing line between brittleness and plasticity in this area, complex fracture systems tend to form in brittleness-prone formations. In Well P, half of the fractures are single fractures, so it is necessary to carry out fine subsection and turnaround fracturing so as to improve development effects. This paper provides a theoretical basis for improving the fracturing well design and increasing the effective stimulated volume in this area

Metal-organic framework-derived Ni 2 P/nitrogen-doped carbon porous spheres for enhanced lithium storage

Transition metal phosphides (TMPs)/carbonaceous matrices have gradually attracted attention in the field of energy storage. In this study, we presented nickel phosphide (Ni2P) nanoparticles anchored to nitrogen-doped carbon porous spheres (Ni2P/NC) by using metal-organic framework-Ni as the template. The comprehensive encapsulation architecture provides closer contact among the Ni2P nanoparticles and greatly improves the structural integrity as well as the electronic conductivity, resulting in excellent lithium storage performance. The reversible specific capacity of 286.4 mA h g−1 has been obtained even at a high current density of 3.0 A g−1 and 450.4 mA h g−1 is obtained after 800 cycles at 0.5 A g−1. Furthermore, full batteries based on LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2||Ni2P/NC exhibit both good rate capability and cycling life. This study provides a powerful and in-depth insight on new advanced electrodes in high-performance energy storage devices

Micro pore characteristics of Luohe aquifer sandstone in Binchang Mining Area typical roof water hazard mines

The mining of Huanglong Coalfield faces a serious threat from roof sandstone water disaster of the extremely thick Luohe Formation. A laboratory study on the microscopic pore characteristics of the sandstone of the Luohe Formation in the Gaojiapu Coal Mine, Binchang Mining Area were carried out using various methods. XRD diffraction, casting thin sections, and scanning electron microscopy were combined to study the pore types of the sandstone particles. Overburden porosimeter was used to illustrate the variation characteristics of porosity and permeability under different confining pressures. High-pressure mercury injection and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques were used to characterize the pore-throat radius of the sandstone core, and X-ray three-dimensional CT scanning was used to quantitatively characterize sandstone pores larger than 9 μm. The results show that, ①the sandstone particles of medium-grained sandstone are larger, and the pore types are mainly residual intergranular pores with a small amount of intergranular dissolved pores, while the particles of fine-grained sandstone are smaller, and the intergranular pores are mostly filled with clay minerals, secondary dissolution intergranular pores, and a smaller degree of pore development.; ②The pore throat radius of large pores in medium-grained sandstone ranges from 0.61 to 4.94 μm, with a cumulative distribution frequency of 48%, while in fine-grained sandstone, the pore-throat radius ranges from 0.188 to 0.683 um, with a cumulative distribution frequency of 47%, indicating that medium-grained sandstone has larger pore-throat radius, which are more conducive to groundwater storage and migration.; ③CT scanning shows that the average surface porosity of medium-grained sandstone is 7.081%, and that of fine grained sandstone is 2.032%. The highly developed macropores (equivalent pore diameter > 180 μm) and micropores contribute to a higher surface porosity. Combined with a larger pore throat radius, the medium-grained sandstone presents a higher permeability. The microscopic pore characteristics of the two types of sandstone are consistent with the on-site evaluation result of the water yield propertyof the corresponding aquifer. The research findings can provide a basic reference for the prevention and control of water disasters from the sandstone roof of the Luohe Formation

A grid inductance detection method based on the oscillation characteristic of inverter terminal voltage

In grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, grid inductance greatly influences the performance of grid-connected inverters. However, the grid inductance usually varies with the changes of the grid operation conditions. Therefore, accurate grid inductance detection is one of the key technologies to achieve an adaptive control of the grid-connected inverters under different operation conditions. In this paper, an equivalent circuit model of a grid-connected PV system which includes the controller, filter, and grid impedance is established. The oscillation characteristic of the inverter terminal voltage caused by the step change of the inverter output power is analyzed. The oscillation mechanism of the inverter terminal voltage caused by the interaction of the controller, filter, and grid impedance is investigated. A grid inductance detection method based on the oscillation characteristic of the inverter terminal voltage is proposed. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it does not need complicated signal processing and calculation procedures. A 10 kW grid-connected PV system was built for both simulations and the experimental setup. Finally, simulation and experimental results validate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method

A4. En tekst om å ville â og ikke ville være vanlig

People living outside conventional families have to grapple with the concept of ordinariness. If their lives are not seen as ordinary intimate lives, what life choices and narrative choices do they have in claiming and responding to this extraordinariness? The article explores ordinariness as a theoretical and cultural concept, and shows how both theoretical approaches and self-narratives can have very different as well as ambivalent attitudes towards ordinariness

Effect of abruptly changing withdrawal rate on solidification microstructure in directionally solidified Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy

Al-4.5wt.%Cu alloy has been directionally solidified at constant and abruptly changing withdrawal rates, respectively. The effects of the withdrawal rate on solidification microstructure, primary dendrite arm spacing (PDAS) and liquid solute distribution in front of the solid-liquid interface were investigated. The experimental results for the PDAS at a constant withdrawal rate agree well with the values calculated by the Hunt, Trivedi and Hunt-Lu models. At an abrupt change in the withdrawal rate, the maximum to minimum ratio of the PDAS at a given solidification parameter, i.e. λ1max/λ1min, is more than 2, and the PDAS values are remarkably history-dependent. Further, the liquid-solute distribution curve based on theoretical calculation shows that the larger the initial withdrawal rate is, the smaller the minimum of liquid solute concentration in front of the solid-liquid interface is after the abrupt change in withdrawal rate

Design of a Portable Orthogonal Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor System for Simultaneous Sensing and Removal of Nonspecifically Bound Proteins

One challenge for current surface acoustic wave (SAW) biosensors is reducing nonspecific adsorption. A device propagating Rayleigh and shear horizontal surface acoustic waves in orthogonal directions fabricated in ST quartz has the capability of achieving simultaneous detection and nonspecific binding (NSB) protein removal. Current measurement methods for a SAW sensor system based on this device require large-size and expensive equipment such as a vector network analyzer (VNA), signal generator, and frequency counter, which are not suitable for portable, especially point-of-care, applications. In this work, a portable platform based on a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) is investigated for the orthogonal SAW sensor, integrating signal synthesis, gain control, phase/amplitude measurement, and data processing in a small, portable electronic system. This prototype was verified for both stability and repeatability, and the results matched very well with VNA measurements. Finally, system performance in real-time sensing and NSB removal was evaluated
