Abstract

A computational model with Fluent is taken to investigate the performance of cooling-fan for the
radiator module of a RFC energy storage system of stratospheric airship. The performance
parameters including wind pressure, flow rate and static pressure efficiency are simulated under
different rotational speed at the altitude of 20 km. Then, the cold flow rate demand for 20 kW heat
dissipation rate is analyzed, and the varying trends of rotational speed and power consumption are
simulated for different altitude from sea level to 20 km under obviously varying pressure and
temperature. Based on the guidance of simulation, environmental simulation experimentation is
taken under different altitudes, and results of the fan model accord well with the experimental data.
The result shows that, the radiator module fulfils the need of heat dissipation for RFC of
stratospheric airship during the whole mission period including take-off, high altitude parking and
landing. 2015, Editorial Dept. of JA. All right reserved.

Abstract
The promise of redox flow batteries (RFBs) utilizing soluble redox couples, such as all vanadium
ions as well as iron and chromium ions, is becoming increasingly recognized for largescale energystorage of renewables such as wind and solar, owing to their unique advantages
including scalability, intrinsic safety, and long cycle life. An ongoing question associated with these
two RFBs is determining whether the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) or iron-chromium redox
flow battery (ICRFB) is more suitable and competitive for large-scale energy storage. To address
this concern, a comparative study has been conducted for the two types of battery based on their
charge-discharge performance, cycle performance, and capital cost. It is found that: i) the two
batteries have similarenergy efficiencies at high current densities; ii) the ICRFB exhibits a higher
capacity decay rate than does the VRFB; and iii) the ICRFB is much less expensive in capital costs
when operated at high power densities or at large capacities. 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

In order to improve the stability and economy of grid-connected hybrid power system of wind, PV
and energy storage, the capacity optimization method was proposed based on rated capacity of
generation unit. Firstly, establishing the unit output model, making constant output scheduling
strategy of generation unit, setting annualized cost of system as optimization object, considering the
constraint conditions, such as complementary characteristics of wind and solar, the utilization rate
of energy, the genetic particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to calculate optimal capacity
configuration of rated capacity generation unit. Finally, the effectiveness and accuracy of the model
and algorithm were verified according to the results of the example and sensitivity analysis between
storage subsidies, the size of the expected constant power and annualized cost of system. 2015,

Abstract
It has become a new challenge for the grid connected wind farm to actively participate in the
spinning reserve control to both main system operator and wind farm operator. Taking the rotor
inertia kineticenergy of variable speed wind turbines into the wind farm spinning reserve capacity
is suggested to make full use of rotor inertia energy to participate in the frequency control or
emergence reserve control. Based on the actual operation scenarios of wind farm, this paper
proposes optimal reserve mode and optimal scheduling mode, and the associated mathematical
optimal model. Case studies demonstrate that the optimal reserve mode can minimize
the wind power load shedding with considerable economic benefits. In the meantime, the optimal
scheduling mode can maximizing the windfarm spinning reserve capacity, which is very useful for
the stability of an electrical power system. 2015, Automation of Electric Power Systems Press.

Abstract

Integrated energy systems (IES), consisting of the coupling and interactions between electric power
systems (EPS) and natural-gas systems (NGS), are expected to play an important role in
constructing the economic, eco-friendly, and efficient energy systems. Meanwhile, due to the fact
that IES are confronted with a wide range of uncertainties, it is essential to take advantage of
uncertainty modeling techniques to analyze IES. In this paper, the concept of probabilistic load flow,
which has been widely applied in EPS, was extended to IES probabilistic energy flows analysis.
Three aspects of coupling between EPS and NGS are considered: 1) gas-fired generators; 2)
electric-driven compressors; and 3) energy hubs. Based on the models of IES steady energy flows,
the proposal is solved by Monte Carlo simulation with the consideration of uncertainties of electric,
gas and heat loads and wind farms output power. Finally, test results demonstrate that the
uncertainties in NGS (or EPS) do have effects on EPS (or NGS) probabilistic energy flows. Further,
the accuracy of linearizing NGS energy flow equations is obvious lower than EPS. 2015 Chin.
