2023, 10(6): 14-25. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.06.002
Abstract:
  Introduction  As the country has set ambitious targets in carbon peaking and carbon neutrality for the energy sector, there is a growing demand for technology improvements of low-carbon emission for power station gas turbines. It is urgent to explore the path of the key technology for this goal in China. The lean premixed combustion technology of gas turbine can make the air volume for combustion deviate from the theoretical air volume, which is the main technology to reduce NOx emission at present. At the same time, by mixing hydrogen in natural gas when combusting, it can effectively reduce the consumption of fossil energy and reduce carbon emissions.   Method  In this paper, a one-dimensional premixed free propagation flame model was established by Chemkin-Pro software, and the effects of different equivalent ratios, initial temperatures, initial pressures, and hydrogen-blended ratios on combustion temperatures, combustion rates, pollutant generation concentration, combustion free radicals, and chain reactions were compared. The temperature distribution, fuel component change and emission characteristics of combustion process were simulated.   Result  It is found that by mixing hydrogen in natural gas when combusting, fossil energy consumption and carbon emissions can be effectively reduced. However, the higher flame temperature brought by the lean premixed combustion of natural gas mixed with hydrogen will promote the generation of NOx, and at the same time, more CO will be produced at a lower equivalent ratio.   Conclusion  Based on the above research, the key data of hydrogen-blended combustion are obtained, which lays a foundation for the completion of hydrogen-blended combustion technology route.

2023, 10(6): 89-97. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.06.010
Abstract:
  Introduction  Accurate estimation of the Li-ion batteries' State of Health (SoH) is essential for future intelligent battery management systems. To solve the problems of poor quality of data features and difficulties in adjusting model parameters, this study proposes a method for estimating the SoH of lithium batteries based on singular value fixed-order noise reduction and the sparrow search algorithm which can optimize the gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network.  Method  Firstly, three indicators highly correlated with SoH decay were extracted from the battery charge and discharge data. Noise reduction was applied to the features using singular value decomposition techniques to improve their correlation with SoH. Next, using the sparrow search algorithm to optimize the model structure and parameters of the GRU neural network improve the accuracy of estimation of SoH. Finally, the battery data sets from Centre for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) were used to verify the validity of the proposed model.   Result  The experimental results show that the model proposed in this study applies to the battery SoH estimation, with a maximum root mean square error (RMSE) of only 0.018 4. After data noise reduction and algorithm optimization, the RMSE of the GRU model is reduced by 55.41% compared to the initial model.   Conclusion  The method proposed in this paper accurately estimates SoH and can be used as a reference for practical engineering applications.

2023, 10(6): 170-176. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.06.020
Abstract:
  Introduction  With the development of energy storage technology, technical schemes and application scenarios become more and more complex. For energy storage research, the conventional classification method based on technical route has certain limitations in some cases.   Method  A classification method of energy storage research based on object hierarchy was proposed: according to the hierarchy order of objects from micro to macro, energy storage researches were divided into material-level, device-level, system & power plant-level and power system-level. This method was applied to the quantitative analysis of 5 397 articles published in journals of energy storage research retrieved by CNKI.   Result  The results show that the number of power system-level research literatures in 2022 is obviously more than other types of literatures, and the number and cumulative citation times of power system-level research literatures in the top 200 literatures cited from 2001 to 2022 are absolutely superior. Before 2010, material-level and device-level research literatures account for a relatively high proportion. Since 2010, the proportion of system & power plant-level and power system-level research literatures has gradually increased, and the growth rate of power system-level research literatures is more obvious. The newly installed capacity of new energy storage from 2011 to 2022 is positively correlated with the number of literatures. Since the system & power plant-level research often directly focuses on actual projects, the number of such literatures is most closely related to the newly installed capacity.   Conclusion  A new way to summarize the research results of energy storage is provided, which could provide support for industrial policy formulation, industrial chain layout and other work.

2023, 10(6): 120-131. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.06.014
Abstract:
  Introduction  The technical analysis and investigation on the application of process equipment in the gasification area of the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) emergency reserve center, is carried out to solve the problems of frosting and icing in the operation of a single grouping of ambient air vaporizers, in the gasification area of Xi'an Yinzhen LNG emergency reserve center.   Method  The LNG gasification technology in use mainly included ambient air vaporizing and water-bath vaporizing in Chinese Mainland. When the ambient air vaporizer was operated with high load and in low temperature seasons, it was easy to fog around the equipment, and the equipment surface would always be covered with frost and ice but the water-bath vaporizer did not have this phenomenon. After the investigation and comparison of the operation of gasification equipment in various station gasification process areas, such as LNG reserve centers and coastal terminals in recent years, the independent LNG water bath vaporizer could realize the gasification production without frost, ice and fog on the surface of the equipment in engineering; The combined operation system of the water-bath vaporizer and the ambient air vaporizer could combine and optimize the LNG gasification, which could not only obtain the heat energy contained in the air for LNG gasification production, but also eliminate the impact of low-temperature fogging, ice and frost on LNG gasification production.   Result  The gasification process in Chinese Mainland of LNG with large reserve can smoothly complete the production without being affected by low temperatures.   Conclusion  To build a green energy system, based on the formation of a new energy network, high-efficiency energy transmission, distribution, storage and conversion technologies as well as the integration and complementary development of the natural gas, wind, solar, water, hydrogen, and other renewable clean energies for gas power generation, have important supporting roles in perfecting energy storage engineering and technology, thus the optimization of large-scale LNG gasification technology is an important engineering practice.

2023, 10(6): 132-137. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.06.015
Abstract:
  Introduction  Pipeline hydraulic calculation is an important component of the natural gas transmission and distribution system. Applying this theory allows for the analysis of relationships between the pipeline diameter, the flow velocity, the pressure drop, and the gas density. It plays a crucial role throughout the entire lifecycle of natural gas pipeline construction and operation. Pipeline hydraulic calculation has an important impact on the design optimization and operation scheduling of pipeline transmission and distribution. This article aims to simulate and analyze the hydraulic calculation of a long-distance natural gas main pipeline in a certain region to provide reference data for practical works such as the construction and operation optimization of the main pipeline in that region.  Method  In the existing regional pipeline network, the PIPELINE STUDIO software model was used to calculate and simulate the operation status of the main pipeline in the region under different working conditions. The focus was on extreme working conditions, such as "peak demand in summer " and "supply guarantee in winter", aiming to identify potential issues in pipeline operation and analyze the main gas transmission bottlenecks.  Result  The research has shown that whether the working condition is of "peak demand in summer" or " supply guarantee in winter", the current pipeline system in the region has gas transmission bottlenecks, and it is necessary to optimize and adjust the pipeline operation scheduling, the gas flow direction, and the hydraulic pressure to further maximize the gas transmission capacity of the regional pipeline network.  Conclusion  By analyzing the gas transmission capacity under different extreme working conditions, it is possible to propose plans in optimized operations, interconnections, and technological improvements, which can eliminate pipeline bottlenecks, ensure the safe and efficient operation of regional pipeline networks, and meet the changing gas consumption requirements of market users.

2023, 10(6): 98-104. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.06.011
Abstract:

2023, 10(6): 138-145. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.06.016
Abstract:
  Introduction  Since the power line has the characteristics of long transmission distance and a complex spatial environment, the UAV LiDAR point cloud technology can completely and efficiently obtain the geometric information of the power line and its surrounding spatial objects, and the existing supervised extraction and unsupervised extraction methods are deficient in point cloud data extraction in a large range of complex environments, according to the spatial environment characteristics of the main network and distribution network line point cloud data, a rapid extraction method of point cloud power line is proposed based on projection line characteristics and region growing algorithm.   Method  Firstly, in view of the characteristics that the overhead lines of the main network were usually higher than the surrounding spatial objects, the power lines were roughly extracted by the elevation histogram threshold method. Then, considering the characteristics that the vegetation canopy was higher than the distribution network line in the distribution network area, the KNN data points of the roughly extracted power line point cloud were obtained, and the point cloud was projected on the horizontal plane, and whether the point cloud was a power line point cloud was judged by the linear measurement of the point cloud.   Result  According to the existence of missing power line point clouds, all the power line point cloud clusters are obtained through a region growing mode, and on this basis, the catenary formula of each power line point cloud cluster is calculated through the catenary formula, and the point cloud with a fitting distance less than the threshold is merged as the same power line point cloud.   Conclusion  The proposed method aims at the problem of rapid power line extraction in inspection applications and overcomes the problem of power line point cloud missing and vegetation impact in the process of power line extraction, so this method can achieve power line point cloud extraction with high efficiency and accuracy.

2023, 10(6): 146-152. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.06.017
Abstract:
  Introduction  With the continuous and rapid growth of the number of tree barrier inspections, visible light aerial photogrammetry has become the most important inspection method for hidden dangers of tree barriers in transmission lines of power supply bureaus in various cities. Since airborne laser radar cannot perform rapid iteration on a large number of point clouds, it is difficult to obtain high-precision point cloud power lines with visible light aerial photogrammetry. In the case of flourishing trees, it is difficult to comprehensively judge and analyze the relationship between tree tops, tree crowns and power lines, which results in problems such as misjudgment and omission of hidden dangers of tree barriers in the process of power line inspection. In order to solve this kind of problem, a solution of acquiring vectorized power line by laser radar is proposed. Through the intelligent analysis of vegetation information collected by multi-period visible light aerial photogrammetry, the solution of tree barrier is obtained.   Method  In view of the comprehensive situation that the image data collected by visible light aerial photogrammetry couldn't obtain high-precision point cloud power lines, it was difficult to simultaneously and comprehensively analyze the relationship between tree tops, tree crowns and power lines, and laser point cloud data couldn't be quickly iterated in large quantities, an overhead line tree barrier rapid analysis and processing system for multi-source spatio-temporal data of vectorized power lines was developed, which was suitable for the current conventional tree barrier inspection means, had comprehensive functions, saved resources, and was suitable for transmission and distribution networks.   Result  Through the three-dimensional real scene display of laser point cloud and visible light image data, the function of identifying and analyzing hidden dangers of tree barriers in power lines is realized. The vectorized power lines are complete and accurate. At the same time, combined with oblique photography technology, the data analysis of the hidden dangers of tree barriers results can identify 100% of the number of tree barrier hidden dangers.   Conclusion  The technical solution is accurate and effective, improves the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection of hidden dangers of tree barriers, and can provide guidance for practical application.

Abstract:
  Introduction  Strategies for preventing corrosion in steel structures at offshore wind farms, derived from a comprehensive study on the environmental conditions, symptoms, and mechanisms of corrosion in such structures, as well as an analysis on various causes were proposed, aiming to ensure safe operation throughout their lifecycle.   Method   The study focused on the grid-connected offshore wind farms and investigated corrosion observed in specific marine environmental conditions for different foundation types, structural components, materials, and parts.   Result  The results show that corrosion appears in various forms and progresses at varying rates among different foundation types, structural components, and parts in specific marine environmental conditions. Electrochemical corrosion is identified as the main form of corrosion, while internal and external stresses act as potential accelerators of corrosion in steel structures. Manufacturing quality control and the implementation of protective measures directly affect the rate of corrosion development.  Conclusion  In summary, it is crucial to identify various potential risks related to manufacturing characteristics, material properties, and environmental conditions of steel structures at offshore wind farms and take appropriate refined protection measures to eliminate underlying causes. In addition, protection levels should be increased for certain critical parts.

Abstract:
  Introduction  The proposal of the "dual carbon" strategy has given new requirements and connotations to the reduction of energy consumption intensity and the "dual control" of the total amount. On the premise of adhering to the priority of energy efficiency, we should fully consider the stage of regional development and reasonably ensure the "dual control" indicators are decomposed and implemented layer by layer.   Method  Taking the decomposition of the "dual control" indicators of energy consumption in the "14th Five-Year Plan" of a certain city as an example, this paper selected quantifications that could reflect the economic level, energy consumption volume, energy-saving potential and the completion of the energy-saving goals of the "13th Five-Year Plan" indicators of each district and county (city) and built a combined weighting assignment model based on the combination of hierarchical analysis and objective weighting to calculate the weight of each indicator, obtaining the "dual control" indicator distribution results, and then used clustering analysis to carry out the differentiation of the indicator system and cluster aggregation.   Result  By comparing the results of combination weighting and clustering analysis, the regional energy consumption intensity reduction target decomposition algorithm based on multi-indicator combination weighting and clustering analysis can obtain basically consistent results.   Conclusion  Based on the results of the above two methods, the actual economic development and government management needs, the energy consumption management targets of different levels are obtained, which takes into account regional development differences, conforms to the national "14th Five-Year Plan" energy consumption "dual control" system requirements and decomposition principle, and has the characteristics of replicability and promotion.

In order to promote the electricity market construction, the influence factors of the electricity market risk and its evaluation remain to be studied further.   Method  Based on the consideration of the whole cycle of electricity market trading, this paper took pre-trade risk, during-trade risk, and post-trade riskas the entry points, integrated the existing risks in each stage of electricity market, and established the risk evaluation index system for electricity market. Based on the thought of subjective and objective weighting, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method were used to assign weights to the index system respectively, and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) was adopted to evaluate the comprehensive risk level of the electricity market.   Result  The rationality, comprehensiveness and validity of the proposed model are verified through the analysis of the calculation examples of different electricity markets.   Conclusion  The model eatablished in this paper can conduct a comprehensive risk evaluation for the electricity market, and provide a theoretical reference for the construction of the risk system of the electricity market and its future development direction.
