Topic:

Dynamic Energy Balance Mechanism of Power Systems Dominated by Power Electronic Devices

With the widespread integration of renewable energy, energy storage, and HVDC systems into power grids, the traditional dynamic energy balance mechanism, primarily reliant on synchronous machines, is undergoing profound changes. In the future, the large-scale deployment of power electronic devices will enable them to independently handle energy imbalances caused by system disturbances. This shift will drive the transition of dynamic energy balancing from being dominated by primary frequency regulation of synchronous generators to a new mechanism centered on the fast power response of power electronic devices. Against this backdrop, this report conducts an in-depth analysis of the impact of different power response strategies of power electronic devices on system frequency characteristics. A novel power balancing control strategy is proposed, in which power electronic devices act as the main agents of dynamic energy balancing. By fully leveraging their rapid power response capabilities, the method enables efficient and stable dynamic energy balancing within the response timescale of power electronic devices.

Topic:

Research on Advanced Control and Fault Diagnosis Methods for Offshore Energy Systems

With the rapid development of offshore wind and wave energy technologies, marine energy systems face dual challenges of dynamic stability and operational safety. This report focuses on core problems such as the load amplification on the main structure of floating wind turbines (FWTs) caused by random oscillations, and the conflict between resonant efficiency and motion safety in wave energy converters (WECs). To address these issues, a "mechanism-data hybrid-driven" intelligent control framework is proposed. This framework employs advanced hybrid modeling techniques, overcoming the limitations of traditional models to accurately capture nonlinear dynamics and quantify key uncertainties. It develops prediction-free, robust, and adaptive intelligent control strategies to effectively balance multiple objectives and constraints, including efficiency, loads, and safety. Furthermore, it integrates uncertainty quantification, robustness verification, and fault-tolerant mechanisms to ensure reliable operation under extreme or fault conditions. The research outcomes provide a systematic solution for the synergistic optimal control problem of renewable energy equipment in complex marine environments, achieving the goal of "precise modeling - intelligent optimization - robust control - safety assurance".

Key Technologies for Harmonic Evaluation and Suppression Aiming at the High-quality Power Supply Requirements of New Dis

With the construction of new-type distribution systems and the continuous development of power electronics technology, a large number of power electronic converters such as new energy sources and flexible loads are connected to the grid. This has led to the strong coupling characteristics of harmonics in the power distribution and utilization systems, and the related problems have become increasingly prominent. Clarifying the influence of multi-frequency coupled harmonics and formulating targeted suppression measures are of great significance for ensuring high-quality power supply in new-type distribution systems. This report will introduce the coupling harmonic modeling, impact assessment, and active suppression methods of heterogeneous converters in view of the multi-frequency coupling characteristics of power electronic devices.
