Abstract The transmission system of the cutting unit of shearer is divided into three basic components: planetary reduction form, one gear on one shaft form and a double gears on one shaft. The dynamic differential equations of three basic components are established respectively, and the volume functions of each structure are obtained. The characteristics of the internal excitation of the transmission system are analyzed, and the solution methods of the motion parameters of each component are obtained based on the harmonic balance method. Taking the parameters such as tooth number, modulus and tooth width as optimized variables, and a robust optimization method with the minimum value of multi-parameter evaluation function weighted linearly by dimensionless volume and vibration for the transmission system of the cutting unit of shearer is presented. Taking a certain type of shearer as an example, the transmission system of the cutting unit is optimized by using the presented method. After the design, the size is reduced by 5.4%, the maximum torsional acceleration of the drum is reduced by 17.8%, and the maximum torsional acceleration of the first gear is reduced by 9.6%. The results show that the design method can reduce the manufacturing cost of shearer and reduce the failure rate of the cutting unit.

Pv Penetration

In order to meet the electricity needs of domestic or commercial buildings, solar energy is more attractive than other renewable energy sources in terms of its simplicity of installation, less dependence on the field and its economy. It is possible to extract solar energy from photovoltaic (PV) including rooftop, ground-mounted, and building integrated PV systems. Interest in rooftop PV system applications has increased in recent years due to simple installation and not occupying an external area. However, the negative effects of increased PV penetration on the distribution system are troublesome. The power loss, reverse power flow (RPF), voltage fluctuations, voltage unbalance, are causing voltage quality problems in the power network. On the other hand, variations in system frequency, power factor, and harmonics are affecting the power quality. The excessive PV penetration also the root cause of voltage stability and has an adverse effect on protection system. The aim of this article is to extensively examines the impacts of rooftop PV on distribution network and evaluate possible solution methods in terms of the voltage quality, power quality, system protection and system stability. Moreover, it is to present a comparison of the advantages/disadvantages of the solution methods discussed, and an examination of the solution methods in which artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning based optimization and techniques are discussed with common methods.

AbstractThe optimal size and location of the compensator in the distribution system play a significant role in minimizing the energy loss and the cost of reactive power compensation. This article introduces an efficient heuristic-based approach to assign static shunt capacitors along radial distribution networks using multi-objective optimization method. A new objective function different from literature is adapted to enhance the overall system voltage stability index, minimize power loss, and to achieve maximum net yearly savings. However, the capacitor sizes are assumed as discrete known variables, which are to be placed on the buses such that it reduces the losses of the distribution system to a minimum. Load sensitive factor (LSF) has been used to predict the most effective buses as the best place for installing compensator devices. IEEE 34-bus and 118-bus test distribution systems are utilized to validate and demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The simulation results obtained are compared with previous methods reported in the literature and found to be encouraging.

<p>Wind is available with free of cost anywhere in the world, this wind can be used for power generation due to many advantages. This attracts the researchers to work on wind power plants. The presence of wind power plants on distribution system causes major influence on voltage controlled devices (VCDs) in terms of life of the devices. Therefore, this paper proposes grey wolf optimization method (GWO) together with forecasted load one day in advance. VCDs are on load tap changer (ULTC) and capacitors (CS), there are two main objectives first one is curtail of distribution network (DN) loss and second one is curtailing of ULTC and CS switching’s. Objectives are achieved by controlling the reactive power of DFIG in coordination with VCDs. The proposed method is planned and applied in Matlab/Simulink on 10KV practical system with DFIG located at different locations. To validate the efficacy of GWO, results are compared with conventional and dynamic programming methods without profane grid circumstances.</p>
