Due to the temperature of shallow aquifers being affected by atmospheric temperature, groundwater source heat pumps (GWSHPs) become unstable and the operation efficiency of GWSHP is constrained. In the study, the coupling numerical simulation model of the groundwater flow field and temperature field is established based on the continuous monitoring results in an actual experimental site, and the water and thermal migration of shallow aquifer is simulated under the influence of the atmospheric environment. The influence of the dynamic change in ground temperature is analyzed on a GWSHP. The results indicated that the temperature of the shallow aquifer is affected by the external temperature, and the recharge temperature in the summer cooling period was 33°C, and that in the winter heating period was 6°C in the actual site, to avoid the occurrence of thermal penetration when there is a gap between the actual situation and the design situation, the single cooler can balance the insufficient cooling capacity in summer under the most unfavorable situation. The research results can also provide a reference for the development and utilization of geothermal energy resources in shallow aquifers.
Accurate state estimation is essential for the safe and reliable operation of lithium-ion batteries. However, the accuracy of the battery state estimation depends on the accuracy of the battery parameters. Because the state of charge (SOC) cannot be directly measured, estimation methods based on the Kalman filter are widely used. However, it is difficult to estimate SOC online and get high accuracy results. This article proposes a method for parameter identification and SOC estimation for lithium-ion batteries. Because the lithium-ion battery has slow-varying parameters (such as internal resistance, and polarization resistance), and the SOC has fast-varying characteristics, so a multi-scale multi-innovation unscented Kalman filter and extended Kalman filter (MIUKF-EKF) are used to perform online measurement of battery parameters and SOC estimation in this method. The battery parameters are estimated with a macro-scale, and the SOC is estimated with a micro-scale. This method can improve the estimation accuracy of the SOC in real-time. Results of experiments indicate that the algorithm has higher accuracy in online parameter identification and SOC estimation than in the dual extended Kalman filter (DEKF) algorithm.
With the flexible integration of local renewable energy with the smart distribution network system, the problems of high operating costs and power shortage can be effectively solved. However, taking the industrial park microgrid with high penetration photovoltaic as an example, due to the uncertainties and fluctuations arising from the meteorological conditions and the load demands, the safe and reliable operation of the microgrid system has been threatened significantly. Operators often need to pay additional unnecessary costs to maintain stable operations of the microgrid. Therefore, in this study, a dispatch strategy based on robust model predictive control considering low-carbon cost is designed to reduce the adverse effects of uncertainties. First, a low-carbon energy management scheme is formulated based on short-term source and load forecast information in which a two-stage robust optimization solution method is used to generate the optimal dispatch scheme under the worst scenario. Then, an intraday real-time strategy with a closed-loop feedback mechanism is formed based on the model predictive control. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed strategy is simulated and analyzed based on the measured data of the photovoltaic microgrid in the industrial park. The results show that compared with the general intraday scheduling strategy and the day-ahead robust strategy, the proposed strategy can effectively get low-carbon scheduling plans considering the uncertainty of source and load while efficiently balancing the robustness and economy of the grid-connected industrial park photovoltaic microgrid system operation.
Aiming to solve the problem that photovoltaic power generation is always accompanied by uncertainty and the short-term prediction accuracy of photovoltaic power (PV) is not high, this paper proposes a method for short-term photovoltaic power forecasting (PPF) and uncertainty analysis using the fuzzy-c-means (FCM), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), bi-directional long short-term memory (BILSTM), and no-parametric kernel density estimation (NPKDE). First, the principal component analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimensionality of the daily feature vector, and then the FCM is used to divide the weather into four categories: sunny, cloudy, rainy, and extreme weather. Second, the WOA algorithm is used to train the hyperparameters of BILSTM, and finally, the optimized hyperparameters were used to construct a WOA-BILSTM prediction model to train the four types of weather samples after FCM clustering. The NPKDE method was used to calculate the probability density distribution of PV prediction errors and confidence intervals for PPF. The RMSEs of the FCM-WOA-BILSTM model are 2.46%, 4.89%, and 1.14% for sunny, cloudy, and rainy weather types, respectively. The simulation results of the calculation example show that compared with the BP, LSTM, GRU, PSO-BILSTM, and FCM-PSO-BP models, the proposed FCM-WOA-BILSTM model has higher prediction accuracy under various weather types, which verifies the effectiveness of the method. Moreover, the NPKDE method can accurately describe the probability density distribution of forecast errors.
