The Exploration Into the Influence of Social Unconscious on the Individual Through Cyberpunk
The main purpose of this thesis is to explore the influence of the social unconscious on human beings in a future context. In Fromm\u27s view, the social unconscious refers to Individuals who are afraid of being separated from the society they live in, they often adapt and distort their human needs to meet the requirements of our social system. However, with the strengthening of personality and self-awareness in the present society, how will the relationship between the social subconscious and people\u27s selfawareness change in the future? This is the key issue of this thesis. In the first part, by studying the definition of the social unconscious and related works, this thesis tried to understand the root cause of the influence of the social unconscious and how it affects people\u27s behavior and decision-making. In the second part, this thesis made an in-depth study of Cyberpunk and objective imagery in related works, revealing that Cyberpunk is a projection of the real world, and clues for many problems in the real world can be found in the Cyberpunk world. In the third part, this thesis explored the changes in people\u27s consciousness in the Cyberpunk world. Finally, this thesis concludes people will not rid of the influence of the social unconscious no matter in the real world or the future world. Even as people\u27s selfawareness is constantly enhanced, self-awareness and social unconscious will always exist in contradiction
Multi-Stage Expansion Planning for Decarbonizing Thermal Generation Supported Renewable Power Systems Using Hydrogen and Ammonia Storage
Large-scale centralized development of wind and solar energy and peer-to-grid
transmission of renewable energy source (RES) via high voltage direct current
(HVDC) has been regarded as one of the most promising ways to achieve goals of
peak carbon and carbon neutrality in China. Traditionally, large-scale thermal
generation is needed to economically support the load demand of HVDC with a
given profile, which in turn raises concerns about carbon emissions. To address
the issues above, hydrogen energy storage system (HESS) and ammonia energy
storage system (AESS) are introduced to gradually replace thermal generation,
which is represented as a multi-stage expansion planning (MSEP) problem.
Specifically, first, HESS and AESS are established in the MSEP model with
carbon emission reduction constraints, and yearly data with hourly time
resolution are utilized for each stage to well describe the intermittence of
RES. Then, a combined Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition (DWD) and column generation
(CG) solution approach is proposed to efficiently solve the large-scale MSEP
model. Finally, a real-life system in China is studied. The results indicate
that HESS and AESS have the potential to handle the intermittence of RES, as
well as the monthly imbalance between RES and load demand. Especially under the
goal of carbon neutrality, the contribution of HESS and AESS in reducing
levelized cost of energy (LCOE) reaches 12.28% and 14.59%, respectively, which
finally leads to a LCOE of 0.4324 RMB/kWh.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
C-Silicon-based metasurfaces for aperture-robust spectrometer/imaging with angle integration
Compared with conventional grating-based spectrometers, reconstructive
spectrometers based on spectrally engineered filtering have the advantage of
miniaturization because of the less demand for dispersive optics and free
propagation space. However, available reconstructive spectrometers fail to
balance the performance on operational bandwidth, spectral diversity and
angular stability. In this work, we proposed a compact silicon metasurfaces
based spectrometer/camera. After angle integration, the spectral response of
the system is robust to angle/aperture within a wide working bandwidth from
400nm to 800nm. It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed method
could maintain the spectral consistency from F/1.8 to F/4 (The corresponding
angle of incident light ranges from 7{\deg} to 16{\deg}) and the incident
hyperspectral signal could be accurately reconstructed with a fidelity
exceeding 99%. Additionally, a spectral imaging system with 400x400 pixels is
also established in this work. The accurate reconstructed hyperspectral image
indicates that the proposed aperture-robust spectrometer has the potential to
be extended as a high-resolution broadband hyperspectral camera
Optimal Sizing and Pricing of Renewable Power to Ammonia Systems Considering the Limited Flexibility of Ammonia Synthesis
Converting renewable energy into ammonia has been recognized as a promising
way to realize ``green hydrogen substitution" in the chemical industry.
However, renewable power to ammonia (RePtA) requires an essential investment in
facilities to provide a buffer against the strong volatility of renewable
energy and the limited flexibility of ammonia synthesis, which involves the
three main stakeholders, namely, power, hydrogen, and ammonia. Therefore, the
sizing and pricing of RePtA play a core role in balancing the interest demands
of investors. This paper proposes an optimal sizing and pricing method for
RePtA system planning. First, power to ammonia (P2A) is modeled as a flexible
load, especially considering the limited flexibility of ammonia synthesis,
which has been verified using real dynamic regulation data. Second, the
multi-investor economic (MIE) model is established considering both external
and internal trading modes. Then, a two-stage decomposed sizing and pricing
method is proposed to solve the problem caused by the strong coupling of
planning, operation, and trading, and information gap decision theory (IGDT)
method is utilized to handle the uncertainty of renewable generation. Finally,
real data from a real-life system in Inner Mongolia are utilized to verify the
proposed approach. The results show that the system proposed has a yield of
8.15%.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure
