Wetlands in northern China are complex ecosystems composed of grasslands, lakes, rivers and swamps, which have immense ecological values. When a highway system passes through a wetland, it has adverse effects on its ecosystem. However, in many cases, it is difficult to avoid a highway system pass through a wetland. Taking the Erka wetland in northern China as an example, nine survey lines, perpendicular to the highway, were set up. According to the distance from the highway, the plant multi-element information was collected. After the analysis of plant growth habits, spatial characteristics and profile features, the following four conclusions were drawn: (1) the highway system divided the plants habitat and made the vegetation communities on both sides develop anisotropically; (2) the highway system interfered with the interspecific competition of the nearby plant populations, making it easier for the plant communities with fast propagation speed, drought resistance and anti-interference to establish advantages; (3) the plant growth within 80 m of the highway was inhibited and (4) the wetland plant community succeeded to grassland plant community. In order to reduce the adverse impact of highway system on wetland ecosystems, it is suggested that in the follow-up highway upgrading project, either diversion of highway or construction of bridge or culvert excavation should be considered.
The phenomenon of three phase voltage imbalance frequently occurs in large-scale new energy grid connected areas in China; in severe cases, a large number of wind turbines will be disconnected from the grid. To solve the problem of the voltage imbalance at the point of common coupling (PCC), analyze the influence of generator parameters change on negative sequence voltage under the background of unbalanced power grid, a modeling method of base-frequency negative sequence impedance of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) which including phase locked loop (PLL), rotor side converter (RSC) and grid side converter (GSC) is proposed. By establishing the negative sequence equivalent circuit of grid-connected system of DFIG, the relationship between the negative sequence voltage of PCC and the negative sequence impedance of DFIG is listed, and analyzing the sensitivity of control parameters link to base-frequency impedance, the parameter that has great influence on base-frequency negative sequence impedance of PCC is found out. Finally, the accuracy of impedance modeling and sensitivity analysis is verified by simulation studies.
Thermal design of IGBT is the key technology on wind power converter design. This paper introduced a theoretical calculation method of IGBT power loss which is applicable in wind power converter engineering applications. Meantime, the corresponding mathematic model was established. Considering the divergence of application environments as well as the characteristics of water-cooling heat dissipation, simulation models of two different inlet and outlet position radiators were built in Ansys software. And then the cooling capacity of these two types of radiators was analyzed though simulation. According to the simulation results, the ipsilateral inlet and outlet channel mode radiator was selected. After the sample production of the water cooling plate is completed, the experimental platform is built and the sample was verified. Finally, the experiment results indicated the rationality and practicability of the thermal design and simulation, which provided critical references of IGBT water cooling system design. In this paper, the performance of water cooling radiators is studied, which also provides a reference for the design of other high power electronic products.
Vigorously promoting the development of photovoltaic (PV) resources is a positive measure taken by humanity in response to the changes in global climate and environment. At the same time, combining photovoltaic power generation systems with traditional power generation systems, using the advantages of different power generation systems to achieve real-time scheduling optimization has become an urgent problem to be solved in engineering applications. This paper attempts to study the climate and environmental benefits of the development of photovoltaic resource in Africa by taking Angola as an example based on actual project data. According to the characteristics, load requirements, seasonal characteristics and actual engineering background of Tombwa in Angola, a baseline Scenario and four comparative Scenarios were established, and the operating costs of the five Scenarios in local rainy season and dry season were obtained respectively. The cost of electricity for the five Scenarios calculated subsequently. Through real-time scheduling and optimization of the software, the emission characteristics of CO2, NOx and CO under five Scenarios are obtained, and the climate benefits and environmental benefits of the five scenarios are further analyzed and compared. The results show that the development of photovoltaic resources in Angola has good climate and environmental benefits. In addition, the combine application of diesel, PV and battery power system will be the most effective of the five Scenarios to reduce the CO2 emissions with the lowest levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of 0.38 yuan/kwh, as a cost-effective solution in remote areas of Angola, Africa.
Since the 1980s, the direct current (DC) transmission technology has developed rapidly in China. However, with the large-scale application of DC transmission technology, new problems are brought to the power system. Commutation failure of the DC system will cause overvoltage in the alternating current (AC) power network, which will cause great harm to the weak AC system with wind power access. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out research on overvoltage suppression at the sending end of AC system. This paper reveals the formation mechanism of transient overvoltage and confirms that the control parameters of DC system influence the voltage at the sending end directly. And the appropriate control parameters were selected to suppress the overvoltage by the parameter optimization based on genetic algorithm (GA).
With the proposal of the concept of carbon neutrality in China, the market will continue to pay more attention to sustainable energy and energy conversion. The management of the power system is a very important part in this field due to the discontinuity of wind energy and solar energy, which is also called power dispatching. It is particularly important in the process of power system conversion and management, so it is very helpful to understand the development and bottleneck of power system to understand the main research content of power dispatching through literature. Based on machine learning and text mining, this paper analyses the related research of power dispatching. The results show that the related papers of power dispatching mainly include safe operation, power dispatching strategy, power dispatching automation, power dispatching technology analysis and so on. This paper also shows the results by a clear visualization method.

The Denver Green Code, first adopted in 2019, is based on the International Green Construction Code. Starting in May 2023, the city will begin requiring commercial and multifamily development to meet some provisions from this code, while allowing projects the flexibility to choose which specific provisions to implement.
The idea for this 2018 project came from a University of Iowa graduate student named Pablo Saide, who grew up in Santiago, Chile. Encircled by mountains and practically windless, the city is famous (or infamous) for its smog, but officials share smog warnings only 24 hours in advance. Saide saw firsthand how this hamstrung public health efforts. People in his hometown struggled with asthma, cancer and other smog-exacerbated conditions.

The phenomenon of stadium as power stations has arisen from the idea that energy problems can be overcome by integrating interconnected buildings by means of a smart grid, which is an electricity supply network that uses digital communications technology to detect and react to local changes in usage, without significant energy losses. Stadiums are ideal for these purposes, because their canopies have a large surface area for fitting photovoltaic panels and rise high enough (more than 40 metres) to make use of micro wind turbines. 2ff7e9595c
