Dual-layer loss reduction strategy for virtual distribution transformer integrating energy storage converter

To solve the problem that power quality disturbance aggravates the loss of distribution network in new power systems, this paper proposes a loss reduction strategy for virtual distribution transformer with integrated energy storage converter. Firstly, the concept of the virtual distribution transformer is defined through the analysis of the impact of complex power quality disturbances on distribution network losses. Secondly, a dual-layer control strategy for loss reduction based on the virtual distribution transformer is proposed. In the outer control layer, power quality control considering the load rate of the distribution transformer is achieved by extracting the integrated command signal that incorporates load fluctuations and using the improved quasi-proportional resonance controller. In the inner control layer, a grid-connected power stabilization strategy based on an adaptive double-window moving average filter is proposed, which adjusts the sliding window length in real-time according to the amplitude of fluctuation and state of charge, ensuring power meets the grid-connected standard while improving energy storage charge and discharge margins. Finally, simulation results validate that the proposed strategy enables the rapid realization of functions such as virtual capacity enhancement for distribution transformers, power flow control, and integration of new energy sources within short time scales while effectively reducing operating losses in low-voltage distribution networks.

Foundation of a new technique for geometric and non-geometric multi-shapes similarities degrees using boundary unfolding transformation with applications

This paper presents a novel approach for measuring multi-shapes degrees of similarities. A new shape transformation concept is suggested through mapping the closed boundary of the shape using unfolded process into one-to-one equivalent graph (or signal) where ample number of approaches for similarity testing can be applied. The degree of similarity is then measured by calculating the discrepancies between each of the two transformed unfolded-graphs autocorrelation functions. The proposed method is also effective in applying clustering technique for clustering groups of shapes into three hierarchical similarity levels depending on their mutual degree of similarity. The suggested similarity method handles two categories of shapes: geometric and non-geometric. Unlike other well-known techniques in the subject of machine learning and deep learning, the presented method represents a powerful analytical-based technique for similarity analysis of both regular and irregular shapes regardless of size or orientation, and in effectively handling compound or multi-shapes degrees of similarities. The results of testing the approach on selected datasets have successfully demonstrated the great effectiveness of the developed technique in yielding output multi-shape degrees of similarities in new graphical and comprehensive forms. Finally, it is pointed out that the new approach will have many potential real-life applications such as in industry, medicine, biology, security, and authentications.
