Fen. Li,Nianjun. Ma,Jinbin. Zhao,Keqing. Qu,Xingwu. Yang,Zhenghong. Chen 전력전자학회 2015 ICPE(ISPE)논문집 Vol.2015 No.6

Four models are used to estimate the hourly solar radiation on 15 pieces of different tilted photovoltaic (PV) modules in Wuhan, China based on power and solar radiation data during a whole year. The optimum tilt angle (OTA) in Wuhan for yearly and semi-yearly adjustment was determined. Then it was determined that the best mode is the tilt angle of PV module adjusted every half a year. In semi-yearly adjustment, OTA in semi-year of winter and summer is found as 45°, 15°, respectively. Experimental results verify the theoretical calculated values of the OTA with high precision. Energy radio (ER) reveals PV modules with adjustment of tilt angle twice a year has a capability to improve nearly 7% in comparison with fixed type. The best model was chosen based on test results from statistical indicators. The statistical results demonstrate that among the studied models, Liu&Jordan model is the most accurate.

Jianpeng Sun,Jinbin Li,Yingbiao Jiang,Xiaogang Ma,Zihan Tan,Gaolin Zhufu 한국강구조학회 2023 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.23 No.1

As a composite system bridge, half-through steel box tied arch bridge combines the arch mainly bearing pressure and the beam mainly bearing bending moment, gives full play to their respective advantages, and has the two characteristics of large span capacity of arch bridge and strong adaptability of simply supported beam bridge to foundation. However, in the construction process, due to the complex construction technology and structural stress behavior, the hoisting of arch rib, the tensioning of tie rod and suspender are accompanied by the change of internal load, which is a challenge for bridge construction. Taking the Lancang River Liming Bridge in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province as an example, this paper introduces a new construction scheme of arch bridge, introduces the structural characteristics of cable hoisting system, and puts forward the construction monitoring method. The response of arch rib, suspender, tie rod and main beam is monitored by health monitoring system and compared with the analysis results of finite element model to ensure that the stress and deformation of the structure under various working conditions are in a reasonable state. The results show that the proposed construction scheme can meet the safety and quality requirements of bridge construction, and the finite element model can reasonably predict the bridge behavior in construction. This study is expected to promote the construction of long-span half through steel box tied arch bridge.

PQ Control of Micro Grid Inverters with Axial Voltage Regulators

Yang Chen,Jinbin Zhao,Keqing Qu,Fen Li 전력전자학회 2015 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.15 No.6

This paper presents a PQ control strategy for micro grid inverters with axial voltage regulators. The inverter works in the voltage-controlled mode and can help improve the terminal power quality. The inverter has two axial voltage regulators. The 1st regulator involves the output voltage amplitude and output impedance, while the 2nd regulator controls the output frequency. The inverter system is equivalent to a controllable voltage source with a controllable inner output impedance. The basic PQ control for micro grid inverters is easy to accomplish. The output active and reactive powers can be decoupled well by controlling the two axial voltages. The 1st axial voltage regulator controls the reactive power, while the 2nd regulator controls the active power. The paper analyses the axial voltage regulation mechanism, and evaluates the PQ decoupling effect mathematically. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated by simulation and experimental results.

Prediction of Pathologic Response to Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Incorporating Hematological Biomarkers

Yingjia Wu,Jinbin Chen,Lei Zhao,Qiaoqiao Li,Jinhan Zhu,Hong Yang,Suping Guo,Mian Xi 대한암학회 2021 Cancer Research and Treatment Vol.53 No.1

Purpose This study aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by integrating hematological biomarkers and clinicopathological characteristics. Materials and Methods Between 2003 and 2017, 306 ESCC patients who underwent neoadjuvant CRT followed by esophagectomy were analyzed. Besides clinicopathological factors, hematological parameters before, during, and after CRT were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictive factors for pCR. A nomogram model was built and internally validated. Results Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio, albumin, hemoglobin, white blood cell, neutrophil, and platelet count generally declined, whereas neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) increased significantly following neoadjuvant CRT. After surgery, 124 patients (40.5%) achieved a pCR. The pCR group demonstrated significantly more favorable survival than the non-pCR group. On multivariate analysis, significant factors associated with pCR included sex, chemotherapy regimen, post-CRT endoscopic finding, pre-CRT NLR, ALC nadir during CRT, and post-CRT PLR, which were incorporated into the prediction model. The nomogram indicated good accuracy in predicting pCR, with a C-index of 0.75 (95% confidence interval, 0.71 to 0.78). Conclusion Female, chemotherapy regimen of cisplatin/vinorelbine, negative post-CRT endoscopic finding, pre-CRT NLR (≤ 2.1), ALC nadir during CRT (> 0.35×109/L), and post-CRT PLR (≤ 83.0) were significantly associated with pCR in ESCC patients treated with neoadjuvant CRT. A nomogram incorporating hematological biomarkers to predict pCR was developed and internally validated, showing good predictive performance.

Background: Albeit a relatively stable epigenetic modification, DNA methylation in plants can be repatterned and play important roles in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, whether DNA methylation dynamics may contribute to cope with mercury (Hg) stress in plants remains to be fully investigated. Objective: To probe the potential roles of DNA methylation dynamics in coping with Hg stress in rice. Methods: Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing was used to profile the DNA methylation patterns of a rice Hg-resistant line (RHg) selected from a heterozygous mutant of the DNA methyltransferase 1 gene (OsMET1+/-), together with its Hg-sensitive wild-type plants of cv. Nipponbare (Nip) under both normal and Hg stress conditions. Results: Genome-wide locus-specific differential methylation regions (DMRs) were detected between RHg and Nip under normal condition, the predominant DMR patterns were CG hypo-DMRs, CHG hypo-DMRs and CHH hyper-DMRs. In both lines, more hyper- than hypo-DMRs were detected at all three sequence contexts (CG, CHG and CHH) under Hg stress relative to normal condition. Comparison of DNA methylation changes in the two lines under Hg stress indicates that RHg had a more dynamic methylome than the control (Nip). Original DMRs in RHg trended to transform to opposite status (from hyper- to hypo- or vice versa) under Hg stress condition. Gene ontology analysis revealed that Hg-resistance-related DMGs were enriched in diverse biological processes. Conclusions: Our results suggest genome-wide locus-specific DNA methylation repatterning can facilitate rapid acquisition of Hg resistance in rice.

Distributed Secondary Control of AC Microgrid and its Frequency Domain Analysis Considering Time Delay

Cheng Zhiping,Wang Kaifang,Li Zhongwen,Wu Haotian,Zhi Changyi,Zhang Jinbin 대한전기학회 2024 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.19 No.1

In this paper, distributed secondary control of AC microgrid (MG) is studied and the infuence of communication delay on its control performance is analyzed and verifed. Firstly, a secondary control strategy for the MG is designed to achieve frequency recovery and proportional active power dispatch. Secondly, the stability of the MG system is analyzed in the frequency domain and a rigorous formula is derived to calculate the delay margin for the stability of the distributed secondary control with communication delays. The theoretical calculation results of the stability margin are approximately consistent with the simulation results, with an error of only 1.27%. The efects of the algorithm gains, communication topology, and connection weights on the delay margin are discussed based on the derived formula. The results demonstrate that the algorithm gain is inversely proportional to the delay margin. Changes in the communication topology and connection weights lead to changes in the maximum eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix L, which in turn afects the delay margin. Moreover, the infuence of time-varying delays is considered. The system can tolerate greater time-varying delays than fxed delays. Simulation and experimental results validate the efectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Power Control Strategies for Single-Phase Voltage-Controlled Inverters with an Enhanced PLL

Gao, Jiayuan,Zhao, Jinbin,He, Chaojie,Zhang, Shuaitao,Li, Fen The Korean Institute of Power Electronics 2018 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.18 No.1

For maintaining a reliable and secure power system, this paper describes the design and implement of a single-phase grid-connected inverter with an enhanced phase-locked loop (PLL) and excellent power control performance. For designing the enhanced PLL and power regulator, a full-bridge voltage-controlled inverter (VCI) is investigated. When the grid frequency deviates from its reference values, the output frequency of the VCI is unstable with an oscillation of 2 doubling harmonics. The reason for this oscillation is analyzed mathematically. This oscillation leads to an injection of harmonics into the grid and even causes an output active power oscillation of the VCI. For eliminating the oscillation caused by a PLL, an oscillation compensation method is proposed. With the proposed method, the VCI maintains the original PLL control characteristics and improves the PLL robustness under grid frequency deviations. On the basis of the above analysis, a power regulator with the primary frequency and voltage modulation characteristics is analyzed and designed. Meanwhile, a small-signal model of the power loops is established to determine the control parameters. The VCI can accurately output target power and has primary frequency and voltage modulation characteristics that can provide active and reactive power compensation to the grid. Finally, simulation and experimental results are given to verify the idea.

Optimal Consensus Control for Heterogeneous Nonlinear Multiagent Systems with Partially Unknown Dynamics

Tao Wang,Hao Fu,Jinbin Li,Yaodong Zhang,Xinfeng Zhou,Xin Chen 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2019 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.17 No.9

This paper focuses on an optimal consensus problem for heterogeneous discrete-time nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with partially unknown dynamics. For those systems, it is difficult to obtain the solution of the coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations, which is necessary to address the optimal consensus problem. A new hierarchical and distributed optimal control strategy is developed to derive the near solution of the HJB equations. Its control structure consists of the model reference adaptive control (MRAC) layer and distributed control layer. In the MRAC layer, the adaptive feedforward and feedback controller is designed to make the states of followers converge to ones of their corresponding reference models. Then, the optimal consensus problem of heterogeneous MASs is formulated as that of homogeneous MASs. In the distributed control layer, an online distributed value iteration algorithm is proposed to approximate the optimal solution of the HJB equations for reference models. Thereby, the optimal consensus is also achieved for the heterogeneous MASs. The two convergence properties are analyzed to demonstrate the MRAC performance and the optimal consensus, respectively. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
