  • Publication number: 20240097443
    Abstract: A source-network-load-storage coordination dispatching method in a background of a coupling of renewable energy sources, including: taking an expectation of a minimum grid operating cost in a dispatching cycle as an objective function; generating an approximate value function of an output of a set for generating electricity from renewable energy sources and a user load, and constructing a source-network-load-storage coordination dispatching model with combination of the objective function; obtaining forecast data of the output of a set for generating electricity from renewable energy sources and the user load, and inputting the forecast data into the dispatching model for solving; performing iterative updating on the approximate value function, importing the approximate value function after the iterative updating into the dispatching model for iterative solving, and terminating an iterative process until a solving result satisfies a preset convergence condition; and using a solving result of a last iteration

  • Patent number: 9708224
    Abstract: The invention proposed a novel hot pressing flowing sintering method to fabricate textured ceramics. The perfectly 2-dimensional textured Si3N4 ceramics (Lotgering orientation factor fL 0.9975) were fabricated by this method. During the initial sintering stage, the specimen flowed along the plane which is perpendicular to the hot pressing direction under pressure, through the controlling of the graphite die movement. The rod-like ?-Si3N4 nuclei was easily to texture during the flowing process, due to the small size of the ?-Si3N4 nuclei and the high porosity of the flowing specimen. After aligned, the ?-Si3N4 grains grew along the materials flowing direction with little constraint. textured Si3N4 ceramics fabricated by this invention also showed high aspect ratio. Compared to the conventional hot-forging technique which contained the sintering and forging processes, hot pressing flowing sintering proposed is simpler and lower cost to fabricate textured Si3N4.
