A stacked three-phase piezoelectric composites ring array underwater ultrasound transducer was developed in this paper. The circular structure of three-phase piezoelectric composite with a large open angle was improved based on the 1-3 piezoelectric composites. The structure size of the transducer’s sensitive component was designed by using ANSYS simulation software, and the single-ring samples of three-phase piezoelectric composites with different thicknesses were fabricated. Based on the bandwidth broadening theory of multimode coupled vibration, the piezoelectric composite ring-shaped sensitive component was fabricated by the piezoelectric composite curved-surface-forming process. According to the design structure of the transducer, the stacked three-phase piezoelectric composites ring array underwater ultrasound transducer was processed. The experimental results show that the maximum transmission voltage response is 154 dB, the open angle of the horizontal beam reaches 360°, and the bandwidth of −3 dB is 86 kHz. The developed transducers achieved a high frequency, broadband, and large open angle to radiate sound waves.
Smart Grid will be a new way to the development of the power network. In the development of Smart Grid, how to integrate the Renewable Energy and the Distributed generation (DG) safely and reliably is a problem urgent to be solved. Siting and sizing of DG planning in Smart Grid construction are researched in this paper. A multi-objective optimal model is established and normalized in the DG number, location and individual capacity of uncertainty. The improved adaptive genetic algorithm is used to solve this optimization problem. Finally, the validity of the method proposed in the paper is proved by an example.
Geometry modeling methods can conserve the geometry characters of a system, which helps the dynamic equations more concisely and is good for long simulations. Reduced attitude, Lie group and Lie algebra are three different expressions of geometry. Models for the dynamics of a planer pendulum and a 3D pendulum were built with these three geometry expressions. According to the variation method, the dynamics models as ordinary differential equations were transformed into nonlinear equations which are solved by Newton iteration. The simulation results show that Lie group and Lie algebra calculations can conserve the geometric structure, but have different long-time behavior. The complete Lie group expression has the best long simulation behavior and has the lowest sensitivity to the time step in both planer and 3D pendulum simulations, because it saves the complete geometry of the system in the dynamics model.
