This paper proposes a current decoupling controller for a Doubly-fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based on floating offshore wind turbine and power to gas. The proposed controller realizes Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) through integral sliding mode compensation. By using the internal model control strategy, an open-loop controller is designed to ensure that the system has good dynamic performance. Furthermore, using the integral Sliding Mode Control (SMC) strategy, a compensator is designed to eliminate the parameter perturbation and external disturbance of the open-loop control. The parameters of the designed controller are designed through Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO). Simulation results show that the proposed control strategy has better response speed and smaller steady-state error than the traditional control strategy. This research is expected to be applied to the field of hydrogen production by floating offshore wind power.

In this study, the performance of offshore wind turbines at low tip speed ratio (TSR) is studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and the performance of offshore wind turbines at low tip speed ratio (TSR) is improved by revising the blade structure. First, the parameters of vertical axis offshore wind turbine are designed based on the compactness iteration, a CFD simulation model is established, and the turbulence model is selected through simulation analysis to verify the independence of grid and time step. Compared with previous experimental results, it is shown that the two-dimensional simulation only considers the plane turbulence effect, and the simulation turbulence effect performs more obviously at a high tip ratio, while the three-dimensional simulation turbulence effect has well-fitting performance at high tip ratio. Second, a J-shaped blade with optimized lower surface is proposed. The study showed that the optimized J-shaped blade significantly improved its upwind torque and wind energy capture rate. Finally, the performance of the optimized J-blade offshore wind turbine is analyzed.

The current status of intelligent logistics and cold chain shipping research is a hot topic worldwide. Meanwhile, the study of regional logistics and regional economy, shipping logistics and regional economic theory and application methods, and the empirical analysis of the correlation between the Yangtze River shipping and the Yangtze River shipping economy have attracted a lot of attention. This research has revealed that the Internet of Things of Yangtze River shipping has a great impact on the Yangtze River and the importance of inland river economic development. This study presents the empirical analysis on the correlation between shipping logistics and the inland river economy, starting from qualitative and quantitative aspects, and taking Yangtze River shipping as the representative. The proposed mathematical models and qualitative data analysis are made on the relevant effects of intelligent logistics and cold chain shipping on an inland river economy including its impact on the industrial layout, international trade, and urbanization. The research results provide administrative decisions or guidance values for the economic development of inland river ports in the Yangtze River.

Cold chain logistics possesses unique characteristics, particularly the necessity to maintain low temperatures within containers throughout the distribution process. Real-world traffic conditions, such as congestion, significantly impact the efficiency of cold chain logistics and contribute to increased carbon emissions. To foster green and sustainable development in this sector, a carbon emission trading mechanism has been established, incentivizing companies to invest in energy conservation and emission reduction through economic transactions. This study introduces a multi-objective optimization model for route planning in port seafood logistics, integrating considerations of traffic congestion and zero-carbon transportation. To accurately reflect real-world traffic conditions, a time-dependent function is utilized to model traffic congestion within actual road networks. The road segments are divided, and the travel time for vehicles in each segment is computed. Additionally, the costs associated with the distribution process are analyzed, leading to the development of a multi-objective optimization model aimed at minimizing both distribution costs and zero-carbon transportation costs. The proposed model demonstrates significant economic savings and environmental advantages, providing a theoretical foundation for decision-making processes that support the green and sustainable development of port seafood logistics.

In crane safety assessment, both quantitative and qualitative indicators are inevitably influenced by the subjective influence of the evaluator, which is unfavorable to the objective requirements of safety assessment. In response to these problems, this study proposes a crane safety assessment method based on the cloud model and the improved combination weighting method of game theory (ICWGT). This evaluation method constructs a multi-level assessment index system for crane safety status by selecting suitable indicators in layers and groups, according to the crane safety assessment rules, and gives a method for constructing the cloud model of the commentary set, the selection and derivation of the membership function, and the determination of the fuzzy relationship matrix. When performing fuzzy synthetic calculations based on the cloud model, the synthetic operator enhances the effect of expectation on entropy and makes the cloud image significantly deformed; this method uses a fine-tuned synthetic operator to improve the algorithm. Compared with the traditional crane fuzzy synthesis assessment method, this method combines the cloud model and ICWGT to achieve finding a balance between expert experience and sample data information, calculating the combined optimization weights of each index and component layer by layer. In order to verify the effectiveness of the method, we take the metal structure system of the shipyard portal crane as an example to explore the applicability of the method in crane safety assessment. The results show that the assessment method can accurately reflect the safety level of the crane and can provide reference material for crane safety assessment.
