The deployment of a green power alternative within an isolated network, powered by renewable energy sources, in the "Three North" region of China can facilitate the substitution of high-energy-consuming industrial loads with green power. However, an inadequate power supply configuration may lead to economic and reliability issues. To address this problem, effective capacity allocation within the green power alternative isolated network is proposed. The capacity allocation process starts with the design of a network structure that aligns with local conditions. Subsequently, a capacity allocation model is developed, considering economic factors, renewable energy utilization efficiency, and system reliability. The gray wolf optimizer is enhanced to establish a capacity allocation method for the green power alternative isolated network. This method is then employed to simulate and assess the performance of the network. The results indicate that the green alternative isolated grid can successfully facilitate green power substitution, satisfying the energy requirements of the loads. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The inverter dead time effect is non-negligible for the control performance of sensorless synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drives at low speeds. In this paper, a reduced-order observer-based sensorless control method for SynRM drives combined with the adaptive linear neurons (ADALINE)-based dead-time compensation is proposed. The reduced-order observer-based sensorless control method is presented, for which is parameter tuning is easy. On this basis, the dead-time compensation strategy using ADALINE filters is proposed to reduce the voltage harmonics effect on the estimation performance of the reduced-order observer. With ADALINE filters, the sixth current harmonic can be successfully filtered out by compensating the voltage directly or fitting the current to compensate the voltage. In this way, the low-speed estimation performance of the reduced-order observer is improved. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified on a 3 kW SynRM experimental platform.

There are usually noise problems when the position sensorless control of a synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) is carried out by high-frequency (HF) signal injection method. Due to the special structure, the cross-saturation effect of the SynRM is particularly serious, resulting in reduced position observation accuracy. In this paper, a variable-angle random HF voltage injection strategy with cross-saturation effect compensation is proposed for position sensorless SynRM drives. Random number generation based on the chaotic mapping method is used to generate random HF voltage signals with different frequencies for injection; the current power spectral density (PSD) distribution is extended and the HF noise can be reduced. A control strategy based on variable-angle square-wave injection is proposed to suppress the cross-saturation effect. By measuring the position error curves of different loads off-line and polynomial fitting the curves, the position error is achieved by combining with the corresponding signal demodulation algorithm. The proposed method does not require additional hardware resources and can maintain high control accuracy and robustness. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed sensorless control strategy is verified on a 3 kW SynRM experimental platform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
