Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The extensive and long-term use of non-renewable energy resources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, not only leads to the gradual depletion of global energy, but also continuously pollutes the environment; therefore, renewable energy sources are receiving increasing attention. In recent years, as the main force of renewable energy, wind power has become increasingly important in the field of power generation. With the steady growth of the amount of energy generated by wind power, the failure of wind turbines has gradually become a  challenge for their development. Nowadays, not only university researchers in related fields but also large wind power system enterprises, including Goldwind, Mingyang, Envision Energy, Yunda, Siemens, and General Electric, are also committed to the research and development of condition monitoring and fault diagnosis technology of wind turbines. Researching effective methods for monitoring and diagnosing wind turbine conditions, in order to comprehensively improve the operational safety and stability of wind turbines and improve the quality and efficiency of wind power generation, is an important trend in line with the current development of renewable energy systems.

This Special Issue aims to gather and propagate the most recent research results and breakthroughs in condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of wind power systems, including the application of numerous theories and technologies, such as dynamics modeling, sensor layout, data acquisition, parameter measurement, signal analysis, feature extraction, fault diagnosis, anomaly detection, structural damage identification, early warning, health condition assessment, residual life prediction, and other related software, and even hardware technology.

  1. Dynamic modeling and simulation techniques;
  2. Sensor optimization layout strategy;
  3. Sensor network-based data acquisition and processing technology;

Utilizing renewable energy sources (RESs), such as wind and solar, to convert electrical energy into hydrogen energy can promote the accommodation of green electricity. This paper proposes an optimal capacity planning approach for an industrial electricity-hydrogen multi-energy system (EHMES) aimed to achieve the local utilization of RES and facilitate the transition to carbon reduction in industrial settings. The proposed approach models the EHMES equipment in detail and divides the system’s investment and operation into producer and consumer sides with energy trading for effective integration. Through this effort, the specialized management for different operators and seamless incorporation of RES into industrial users can be achieved. In addition, the variations in investment and operating costs of equipment across different installed capacities are considered to ensure a practical alignment with real-world scenarios. By conducting a detailed case study, the influence of various factors on the capacity configuration outcomes within an EHMES is analyzed. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively address the capacity configuration of equipment within EHMES based on the local accommodation of RES and variable unit cost sequence. Wind power serves as the primary source of green electricity in the system. Energy storage acts as crucial equipment for enhancing the utilization rate of RES. Full article

The perception of anomalies in power scenarios plays a crucial role in the safe operation and fault prediction of power systems. However, traditional anomaly detection methods face challenges in identifying difficult samples due to the complexity and uneven distribution of power scenarios. This paper proposes a power scene anomaly perception method based on high-resolution networks and difficult sample mining. Firstly, a high-resolution network is introduced as the backbone for feature extraction, enhancing the ability to express fine details in power scenarios and capturing information on small target anomaly regions. Secondly, a strategy for mining difficult samples is employed to focus on learning and handling challenging and hard-to-recognize anomaly samples, thereby improving the overall anomaly detection performance. Lastly, the method incorporates GIOU loss and a flexible non-maximum suppression strategy to better adapt to the varying sizes and dense characteristics of power anomaly targets. This improvement enables higher adaptability in detecting anomalies in power scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in power scene anomaly perception and superior performance in handling challenging samples. This study holds practical value for fault diagnosis and safe operation in power systems. Full article

Substation noise is a crucial factor that influences residents’ quality of life, especially in the densely residential areas. Despite small- and medium-sized transformer facilities having relatively low noise levels, due to their proximity to residential areas, they generate considerable annoyance, rendering them a focal point among environmental noise complaints. The predominant noise emitted by these facilities falls within the medium- and low-frequency spectrum range, and the conventional passive noise reduction techniques exhibit limited efficacy in attenuating such low-frequency noise. This study develops a real-time active noise control (ANC) system based on a digital signal processor, TMS320F28335, and various ANC methods, including Filtered-X Least Mean Squares (FxLMS), Normalized Filter-X Least Mean Squares (FxNLMS), and variable step-size FxLMS (VS-FxLMS), are evaluated for the low-frequency noise reduction. In addition, the substation noises at a residential community are measured, analyzed, and used as noise source together with a series of sinusoidal waves for evaluation of the ANC algorithms. Results show the ANC system are effective in attenuating most low-frequency noises (within 600 Hz) and the average noise reduction for the substation noises has achieved by more than 12 dB.

With the rapid increase in the proportion of wind power, the frequency stability problem of power system is becoming increasingly serious. Based on MATLAB/Simulink simulation, the role and effect of secondary frequency modulation assisted by Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) in regional power grid with certain wind power penetration rates are studied. First, the linear frequency control of the power system is used to establish the primary frequency modulation control model of FESS assisting wind power, and the frequency characteristics of FESS participating in primary frequency modulation are analyzed according to the transfer function. Then, in the case of step disturbance and continuous disturbance of load power, the frequency characteristics of a regional power grid are simulated and demonstrated through time domain simulation, and conclusions are drawn through comparison; a certain proportion of FESS can quickly respond to the frequency deviation signal. During secondary frequency modulation simulation, the maximum frequency deviation of the system is reduced by 57.1% and the frequency fluctuation range is reduced by 53.8%, effectively improving the frequency quality of the power grid.
