Precisely locating the voltage sag sources is significant for improving power quality and clarifying the responsibilities of both power supply and consumption. However, the existing location models are complex, computationally intensive, and influenced by the measurement error and fault type, which have low positioning efficiency and large errors. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for locating voltage sag sources based on power polarity and twin characteristics matching. The method firstly uses the polarity of the sequence sag component disturbance reactive power at the monitoring point to determine the sag line. Secondly, the basic realization method of the twin power system is discussed, and the twin characteristics are defined by combining the positive and negative sequence sag component disturbance reactive power and the twin database is established. Thirdly, the spectral norm and Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficient are used to define the data matching degree, and the precise location model of the sag source is established with the objective function of maximizing the data matching between the twin characteristics of the preset and actual sag. Finally, the Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm is used to solve the location model. The correctness and superiority of the proposed method is verified based on IEEE33 node modelling.

The excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer aggravated the loss of nitrogen in farmland and exerted detrimental effects on the soil and water environment. Examining the effects of N-(n-Butyl)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) on nitrification and crop yield in wheat-corn double cropping systems would provide valuable insights for improving nitrogen efficiency and ensuring a rational application of inhibitors. A field experiment lasting one and a half years was performed in the winter wheat–summer maize double agroecosystem in North China. The four treatments that were applied included (I) conventional fertilization without inhibitors (CK), (II) conventional fertilization with 0.26 g/m2 NBPT (NBPT), (III) conventional fertilization with 1.00 g/m2 DCD (DCD), and (IV) conventional fertilization with 0.26 g/m2 NBPT and 1.00 g/m2 DCD (NBPT + DCD). The results demonstrated that the combined use of NBPT and DCD exerted better effects in reducing NO3−-N leaching. Nitrification could be inhibited for up to 95 days by combining NBPT and DCD, while 21 days by DCD. Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) (R2 = 0.07159, p < 0.01) along with ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) (R2 = 0.09359, p < 0.01), rather than a complete ammonia oxidizer (comammox), were significantly and positively correlated with NO3−-N content, which indicated that the ammoxidation process was mainly regulated by AOA and AOB, instead of comammox in the winter wheat–summer maize double agroecosystem in North China.

In distributed generation systems, the inverter is the main power interface and its stability directly determines the reliable operation of the grid-connected system. As a typical topology for a three-phase four-wire inverter, the LCL-type three-phase four-wire split capacitor inverter (LCL-TFSCI) is taken as the research subject of this paper. Compared with the three-phase three-wire inverter, there is an additional zero-sequence path in the LCL-TFSCI. Therefore, it is not only necessary to consider the stability of the positive and negative sequence system, but there is also the need to consider the stability of the zero-sequence system when performing stability analysis for the LCL-TFSCI. In this paper, a small-signal impedance model considering the zero-sequence loop of LCL-TFSCI is firstly established. Subsequently, the instability risk is revealed when LCL-TFSCI is connected to the grid with parallel compensation capacitors. Through instability analysis, an impedance-reshaping method based on the complex filter and combined differential elements is proposed, which can reshape the impedance characteristic of LCL-TFSCI within the wide frequency range and expand the stability domain of the grid-connected system. Finally, the proposed method is verified by simulation and experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
