Power distribution networks are transitioning from passive towards active networks considering the incorporation of distributed generation. Traditional energy networks require possible system upgrades due to the exponential growth of non-conventional energy resources. Thus, the cost concerns of the electric utilities regarding financial models of renewable energy sources (RES) call for the cost and benefit analysis of the networks prone to unprecedented RES integration. This paper provides an evaluation of photovoltaic (PV) hosting capacity (HC) subject to economical constraint by a probabilistic analysis based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to consider the stochastic nature of loads. The losses carry significance in terms of cost parameters, and this article focuses on HC investigation in terms of losses and their associated cost. The network losses followed a U-shaped trajectory with increasing PV penetration in the distribution network. In the investigated case networks, increased PV penetration reduced network costs up to around 40%, defined as a ratio to the feeding secondary transformer rating. Above 40%, the losses started to increase again and at 76–87% level, the network costs were the same as in the base cases of no PVs. This point was defined as the economical PV HC of the network. In the case of networks, this level of PV penetration did not yet lead to violations of network technical limits.

The recent growth in the penetration of photovoltaic generation systems (PVs) has brought new difficulties in the operating and planning of electric power distribution networks. This is because operators of the distribution networks normally cannot monitor or control the output of the PVs, which introduces additional uncertainty into the available information that operations must rely on. This paper focuses on the service restoration of the distribution networks, and the authors propose a problem framework and its solution method that finds the optimal restoration configuration under extensive PV installation. The service restoration problems have been formulated as combinatorial optimization problems. They do, however, require accurate information on load sections, which is impractical in distribution networks with extensively installed PVs. A combined framework of robust optimization and two-stage stochastic programming adopted in the proposed problem formulation enables us to deal with the PV-originated uncertainty using readily available information only. In addition, this problem framework can be treated by a traditional solution method with slight extensions. The validity of the authors’ proposal is verified through numerical simulations on a real-scale distribution network model and includes a discussion of their results.

A semi-analytical method is presented in this paper for stability analysis of milling with a variable spindle speed (VSS), periodically modulated around a nominal spindle speed. Taking the regenerative effect into account, the dynamics of the VSS milling is governed by a delay-differential equation (DDE) with time-periodic coefficients and a time-varying delay. By reformulating the original DDE in an integral-equation form, one time period is divided into a series of subintervals. With the aid of numerical integrations, the transition matrix over one time period is then obtained to determine the milling stability by using Floquet theory. On this basis, the stability lobes consisting of critical machining parameters can be calculated. Unlike the constant spindle speed (CSS) milling, the time delay for the VSS is determined by an integral transcendental equation which is accurately calculated with an ordinary differential equation (ODE) based method instead of the formerly adopted approximation expressions. The proposed numerical integration method is verified with high computational efficiency and accuracy by comparing with other methods via a two-degree-of-freedom milling example. With the proposed method, this paper details the influence of modulation parameters on stability diagrams for the VSS milling.

In order to analysis the force situation of the material which is discontinuity,we can used the new theory called peridynamics to slove it.Peridynamics theory is a new method of molecular dynamics that develops very quickly.Peridynamics theory used the volume integral equation to constructed the model,used the volume integral equation to calculated the PD force in the horizon.So It doesn’t need to assumed the material’s continuity which must assumed that use partial differential equation to formulates the equation of motion. Destruction and the expend of crack which have been included in the peridynamics’ equation of motion.Do not need other additional conditions.In this paper,we introduce the peridynamics theory modeling method and introduce the relations between peridynamics and classic theory of mechanics.We also introduce the numerical integration method of peridynamics.Finally implementation the numerical integration in prototype microelastic brittle material.Through these work to show the advantage of peridynamics to analysis the force situation of the material.
