    Under partial shading condition(PSC),there will be multiple peaks on the power-voltage output characteristic curves of photovoltaic(PV)systems.The traditional maximum power point tracking(MPPT) algorithm is no longer applicable for solving the problem since it is easy to fall into local optimal solution and of poor stability.In order to realize MPPT under PSC,a dynamic surrogate model-based optimization(DSMO) method for a PV system is designed.To avoid aimless search,by taking real-time data of the PV system,the radial basis function(RBF) network is adopted to construct the dynamic surrogate model of input/output features.Based on the dynamic surrogate model,greedy search is used to accelerate the convergence.The practicability and superiority of the method are evaluated by tests under three conditions,constant temperature and constant light start-up experiment,constant temperature and step-changed light test,and variable temperature and variable light test.Compared with ant colony algorithm(ASO),gray wolf optimizer(GWO),perturb and observation method(P&O) and particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO),the DSMO method proposed can facilitate PV systems to generate more energy and smaller power fluctuation quickly and stably under PSC.

    To set up modern energy system in the context of carbon neutrality,power grid should consume more renewable energy,for example,solar energy.In order to improve the dynamic frequency support and transient voltage stability of the power grid connection system congregated distributed PV power stations,static synchronous compensators(STATCOM-BESS)have been widely deployed in PV stations due to their fast response.The damping controller with STATCOM-BESS can suppress the power oscillation of the system.In this context,to improve the stability of the grid connection system,STATCOM-BESS with particle swarm optimized active disturbance rejection controller(PSO-ADRC)for PV power stations is studied.Firstly,the ADRC is analyzed.Then,a STATCOM-BESS integrated with dynamic stability strategy is deduced,and a STATCOM-BESS with PSO-ADRC is designed,whose damping effect is verified by a simulation test.

    Blade ice accretion is a factor that affects the safe operation of wind turbines in high-altitude and high-humidity areas of China in winter. Early detection of ice accretion and making adjustment on operation mode timely can guarantee the safety of wind turbines. The effects of ice accretion on the operation performance and parameters were analyzed thoroughly, and power, rotor blade speed and ambient temperature were taken as variables to monitor blade icing. Models of power and rotor blade speed were constructed by AdaBoost algorithm, and the prediction residuals of the two models were made by exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), in order to detect the abnormalities of power and rotor speed. If both abnormal power and rotor speed are detected and ambient temperature drops below 0 ℃ simultaneously, the blade icing alarm will be triggered. The effectiveness of the method has been proved by the icing data of a wind farm in Kunming.

    To pursue carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, the scale of electric vehicles and electric energy storage is expanding. With the ever-growing demand for efficient and fast equalization of Li-ion batteries, the design, especially the path planning, of equalization circuits for Li-ion batteries becomes crucial. An ant colony algorithm-based path planning strategy for series-connected battery packs is proposed. First, a graph model is used to represent the equalization paths between different battery units. Then, the optimal equalization efficiency and speed models are established,and are solved by an ant colony algorithm,a practical heuristic swarm intelligence algorithm. Finally, taking an equalization system with 13 series-connected batteries as an example,the effectiveness of the proposed path planning strategy is verified.

    Researches on the harmonic loss of cable lines at home and abroad are mainly based on electromagnetic physical analysis. The correction of equivalent parameters mostly relies on empirical formulas, and the accuracy is inadequate. In order to accurately evaluate the cable harmonic loss, an intelligent loss evaluation model based on crisscross optimization algorithm optimized-back propagation (CSO-BP) neural network is proposed. Generally, cable lines under the influence of harmonics are of various harmonic orders, different proportions of varied orders and multiple influencing factors on training samples. In order to overcome the shortages of the traditional BP algorithm such as slow convergence and being easy to fall into local optimum, BP neural network is optimized by CSO algorithm which can search better. After the optimization, an intelligent evaluation model for cable harmonic loss based on CSO-BP neural network is obtained. The values calculated by this model, traditional BP model and physical formulas are compared. The simulation results show that the cable harmonic loss calculated by CSO-BP neural network based intelligent evaluation model is closer to the actual value. The model is of accuracy and stability.

    Energy conservation and emission reduction in enterprises are the frontier issues and research hot-spots in the way of China´s development. Comprehensive analysis and evaluation on the current situation of power consumption in enterprises is the premise and foundation for energy-saving transformations or energy conservation designs. Having described the common forecasting methods for electricity consumption, the shortcomings of constructing a prediction model taking Classification and Regression Tree (CART)algorithm as the weak learner are analyzed. To deal with the deficiency of the traditional AdaBoost algorithm focusing on the minimum prediction error rate only, an improved AdaBoost algorithm based on multi-parameter cost-sensitive coefficient learning is studied and proposed based on the essence of the algorithm. A regression prediction model constructed based on the improved AdaBoost algorithm can make short-term power consumption prediction according to real data, which verifies the improvement of the model´s performance.

    The current intelligent image recognition method applied for pressure plates of automatic relay protection devices has problems such as large deviations in switching status recognition for pressure plates and inaccurate identification of pressure plates' switching statuses due to the interference of redundant information in images.We propose a positioning method for pressure plates of automatic relay protection devices based on image pre-processing technology and Hough transform.By processing the original image of the pressure plate with image denoising and edge detection,the method can make line detection on the processed pressure plate images based on improved Hough transform,realizing the positioning for pressure plates of automatic relay protection devices.The proposed method reduces the amount of data for the subsequent intelligent image recognition by removing the redundant and useless information away from the original image. The test results show that the method can locate the pressure plate in the image.

    To solve the optimal power flow in power systems,new particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm based on Q learning and crisscross search is proposed.The improved algorithm introduces crossover operator into PSO mode to enhance the global convergence ability.At the same time,introducing the exploration mode of Q learning into the improved algorithm makes the algorithm explore in the known solution space,so as to better balance the relationship between exploration and utilization.In order to solve the dimension disaster of Q learning algorithm,the method of state-action chain is used.Simulation results of IEEE57 and IEEE118 node systems show that the proposed algorithm can enhance the global convergence of the traditional PSO algorithm,and effectively solve large-scale optimal power flow problems.
