Because of the high penetration of distributed generation (DG) systems based on renewable energy sources (RES), it is necessary to develop control techniques for improving support to grid frequency and voltage from this kind of generation. Among the solutions proposed in the literature, the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) concept has proven to be an attractive solution to interconnect DG units to the power grid. However, the dynamic behavior of the VSG has not yet been discussed for cases in which line impedance parameters varies in relation to their rated values. To evaluate this issue, in this work a dynamic model of VSG power flow has been derived and its dynamic characteristics discussed. Based on this model, the parameters for VSG controllers are designed by using root-locus method (RLM) in order to realize desired dynamic performance. Then the VSG dynamic performance under line impedance variation eect is assessed. Finally, simulation results demonstrated theoretical analysis and parameters design method.

The integration of distributed generation (DG) systems based on renewable energy sources (RES) by using power converters is an emerging technology in modern power systems. Among the control strategies applied to this new configuration, the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) approach has proven to be an attractive solution due providing suitable dynamic performance. Thus, this paper presents a dynamic analysis of gridtied converters controlled by using VSG concept. This analysis is based on a dynamic model that describes the DG power flow transient characteristics. Based on this model, the grid impedance parameters variation effects on the VSG controllers dynamic performance are discussed. Simulation results are presented to evaluate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis performed.

With the development of the advanced precision-guided missile and anti-missile system, high precision, high penetration ability and Low energy consumption have become an important direction for the missile. A new missile electro-hydraulic actuation system with dual independent closed-loop is put forward with the trend of high performance and energy-saving, and then the operating principle and process are discussed. Finally the accurate mathematical model is established, and the influence of the different basic pressure on the dynamic performance is analyzed. The simulation results show that the new proposed scheme has made great improvements in reducing the zero-control current of the system, but the efficiency and performance of the actuation system should be considered integrated due to the decrease of the dynamic performance, so it is practical for the future development of the missile electro-hydraulic actuation system.

The high integration of distributed generation (DG) system based on renewable energy sources (RES) in the power system requires changes regarding the control mode of these sources with some urgency. Such changes seek to maintain the stability of the power systems. Thus, there is a demand for using control techniques on DGs/RESs that can mitigate the disturbances caused by low inertia and the lack of control over the dispatched powers. As a solution, one can use virtual synchronous generator (VSG) techniques making the voltage  source inverter (VSI) control behave similarly to the traditional synchronous generator (SG). This paper presents a literature review and performance tests for the main VSG topologies used in DGs/RESs: ISE, VSYNC, VISMA and Synchronverter. The implementation of VSG in the DGs/RESs has made possible increase inertia in the grid and, additionally regulate the active and reactive powers separately and bidirectionally. So, it has been possible to meet power system requirements; being able to operation both grid-connected or island-mode, which is ideal for microgrids. The results obtained confirm the literature reports. It was observed that the Synchronverter topology presented advantages over the other VSG topologies.

Modular design, Axiomatic design (AD) and Theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) have been increasingly popularized in concept design of modern mechanical product. Each method has their own advantages and drawbacks. The benefit of modular design is reducing the product design period, and AD has the capability of problem analysis, while TRIZ’s expertise is innovative idea generation. According to the complementarity of these three approaches, an innovative and systematic methodology is proposed to design big complex mechanical system. Firstly, the module partition is executed based on scenario decomposition. Then, the behavior attributes of modules are listed to find the design contradiction, including motion form, spatial constraints, and performance requirements. TRIZ tools are employed to deal with the contradictions between behavior attributes. The decomposition and mapping of functional requirements and design parameters are carried out to construct the structural hierarchy of each module. Then, modules are integrated considering the connections between each other. Finally, the operation steps in application scenario are designed in temporal and spatial dimensions. Design of cutter changing robot for shield tunneling machine is taken as an example to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In the last years, a change in the power generation paradigm has been promoted by the increasing use of renewable energy sources combined with the need to reduce CO2 emissions. Small and distributed power generators are preferred to the classical centralized and sizeable ones. Accordingly, this fact led to a new way to think and design distributions grids. One of the challenges is to handle bidirectional power flow at the distribution substations transformer from and to the national transportation grid. The aim of this paper is to review and analyze the different mathematical methods to design the architecture of a distribution grid and the state of the art of the technologies used to produce and eventually store or convert, in different energy carriers, electricity produced by renewable energy sources, coping with the aleatory of these sources.

System strength is an important concept in the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs). However, evaluating system strength is becoming more ambiguous due to the interaction of RESs. This paper proposes a novel scheme to define the actual interaction boundaries of RESs using the power flow tracing strategy. Based on the proposed method, the interaction boundaries of RESs were identified at the southwest side of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) systems. The test results show that the proposed approach always provides the identical interaction boundaries of RESs in KEPCO systems, compared to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) method. The consistent boundaries could be a guideline for power-system planners to assess more accurate system strength, considering the actual interactions of the RESs.
