  • Publication number: 20160160839
    Abstract: A method of controlling inertia response of variable-speed wind turbine generator includes following steps. A maximum wind power of the wind turbine is gotten through a wind speed ?w and a rotation speed ?r at the hub of the wind turbine based on a maximum wind power tracking control strategy. The maximum wind power is set as an active power control reference value P0 of the wind turbine. A grid frequency f is obtained via a frequency measurement equipment. An additional active power control reference value ?P of the wind turbine is generated based on the grid frequency f via an additional control block, and the additional active power control reference value ?P is added on the active power control reference value P0, wherein a total of active power control reference value of the wind turbine is P0+?P.

  • Publication number: 20160018378
    Abstract: Properties of coal are determined from samples processed by a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) device that generates wavelengths dependent spectra. Target values of the properties are associated with the NIR spectra by a kernel based regression model generated from training data based on an anisotropic kernel function that is extended by defining the kernel parameters as a smooth function over the wavelengths associated with a spectrum. Like the anisotropic case each wavelength related dimension has its own kernel parameter. Adjacent dimensions are restricted to have similar kernel parameters. Measured spectra with a limited number of features are reconstructed by applying a regression model based on training data of spectra having an extended number of features. Training data are pruned based on a regression model by removing outliers.
