In the context of energy conservation and emission reduction, the integration and consumption of large-scale wind and solar resources is an inevitable trend in future energy development. However, with the increase of wind and solar grid-connected capacity, the power system also requires more flexible resources to ensure safe operation. To enhance the economic efficiency of the complementary operation of wind, solar, hydro, and thermal sources, considering the peak regulation characteristics of different types of power sources, the study of the joint dispatch model of complementary utilization of various generation methods like wind, solar, hydro, thermal, and storage is of great significance for the economic dispatch of the power system. Existing studies mainly focus on traditional thermal power units or hydropower units, with few studies investigating the impact of pumped-storage power stations on the absorption of renewable energy. Firstly, this paper introduces the composition and function of each unit under the research framework and establishes a joint dispatch model for wind, solar, hydro, and thermal power. Secondly, the paper elaborates on the objective function within the model, mainly covering the operating costs of thermal power units, hydropower units, pumped storage, wind and solar units, the cost of discarding new energy, and the cost of load shedding. Subsequently, the paper presents the constraints of the system model, mainly the feasible boundaries for the operation of each unit within the system. Finally, The results of the calculations show that the proposed model reduces the total operating cost by 12% and the power abandonment rate by 82% compared to the conventional model. It is shown that the proposed model can not only significantly improve the economic efficiency of the system operation but also reduce the level of energy waste and load shedding, effectively enhancing the degree of energy utilization within the system.

During the mining activity under the super-thick nappe formed by thrust fault, the law of mine pressure behavior is complex, and it is difficult to control the deformation and failure of surrounding rock. Combined with the actual engineering conditions, the influence of different roof lithology conditions, the thickness of nappe, the mining height, the size of the barrier coal pillar, and the creep time on mine pressure behavior was studied by UDEC numerical simulation software. The results showed that with the advancement of the coal face, due to the influence of the mining of the coal face and the slip dislocation of the super-thick nappe along the thrust faults, the roof-to-floor convergence, the two-sided convergence, and the maximum concentrated stress in the roadway-concentrated areas are significantly increased. For the above five influencing factors, the greater the thickness of the nappe and the mining height, the longer the creep time, and the stronger the ground pressure behavior. The larger the size of the barrier coal pillar, the stronger the roof lithology, and the gentler the ground pressure behavior. The research results can provide some reference for monitoring the law of ground pressure behavior in roadway-concentrated areas under super-thick nappe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The vision system provides an important way for construction robots to obtain the type and spatial location information of the object. The characteristics of the construction environment, construction object, and robot structure are jointly examined in this paper to propose an approach of object segmentation by spraying the robot based on multi-layer perceptron. Firstly, the hand-eye system experimental platform is built through establishing the mathematical model of the system and calibrating the parameters of the model. Secondly, effort is made to carry out research on image preprocessing algorithms and related experiments, and compare the effects of different binocular stereo-matching algorithms in the actual engineering environment. Finally, research and an experiment are conducted to identify the applicability and effect of the depth image object segmentation algorithm based on multi-layer perceptron. The experimental results prove that the application of multi-layer perceptron to object segmentation by spraying robots can meet the requirement on solution accuracy and is suitable for the object segmentation of complex projects in real life. This approach not only overcomes the shortcomings of the existing recognition methods that are poor in accuracy and difficult to be used widely, but also provides basic data for the subsequent three-dimensional reconstruction, thus making a significant contribution to the research of image processing by spraying robots.
