摘要Thermal storage electric heating(TSEH),as a prevalent variable load resource,offers significant potential for enhancing system flexibility when aggregated into a cluster.To address the uncertainties of renewable energy and load forecasting in active distribution networks(ADN),this paper proposes a multi-timescale coordinated optimal dispatch strategy that incorporates TSEH clusters.It utilizes the thermal storage characteristics and short-term regulation capabilities of TSEH,along with the rapid and gradual response characteristics of resources in active distribution grids,to develop a coordinated optimization dispatch mechanism for day-ahead,intraday,and real-time stages.It provides a coordinated optimized dispatch technique across several timescales for active distribution grids,taking into account the integration of TSEH clusters.The proposed method is validated on a modified IEEE 33-node system.Simulation results demonstrate that the participation of TSEH in collaborative optimization significantly reduces the total system operating cost by 8.71%compared to the scenario without TSEH.This cost reduction is attributed to a 10.84%decrease in interaction costs with the main grid and a 47.41%reduction in network loss costs,validating effective peak shaving and valley filling.The multi-timescale framework further enhances economic efficiency,with overall operating costs progressively decreasing by 3.91%(intraday)and 4.59%(real-time),and interaction costs further reduced by 5.34%and 9.25%,respectively.Moreover,the approach enhances system stability by effectively suppressing node voltage fluctuations and ensuring all voltages remain within safe operating limits during real-time operation.Therefore,the proposed approach achieves rational coordination of diverse resources,significantly improving the economic efficiency and stability of ADNs.

摘要Electric power infrastructure has recently undergone a comprehensive transformation from electromagnetics to semiconductors. Such a development is attributed to the rapid growth of power electronic converter applications in the load side to realize energy conservation and on the supply side for renewable generations and power transmissions using high voltage direct current transmission. This transformation has altered the fundamental mechanism of power system dynamics, which demands the establishment of a new theory for power system control and protection. This paper presents thoughts on a theoretical framework for the coming semiconducting power systems.

摘要Continued expansion of the power grid and the increasing proportion of wind power centralized integration leads to requirements in sharing both energy and reserves among multiple areas under a hierarchical control structure,which successively requires a correction between schedule plans within multi-time scale.In order to address this problem,this paper develops an information integration method integrating complicated relationships among fuel cost,total thermal power output,reserve capacity,owned reserves and expectations of load shedding and wind curtailment,into three types of time-related relationship curves・Furthermore,a multi-time scale tieline energy and reserves allocation model is proposed,which contains two levels in the control structure,two time scales in dispatch sequence and multiple areas integrated within wind farms as scheduling objects・The efficiency of the proposed method is tested in a 9-bus test system and IEEE 118-bus system.The results show that a cross-regional control center is able to approach the optimal scheduling results of the whole system with the integrated uploaded relationship curves.The proposed model not only relieves energy and reserve shortages in partial areas but also allocates them to more urgent need areas in a high effectivity manner in both day-ahead and intraday time scales.

摘要Simulating physical problems with multi-time scale coupling presents a considerable challenge due to the concurrent solution of processes with different time scales.This complexity arises from the necessity to evolve large time scale processes over long physical time,while simultaneously small time step sizes are required to unveil the underlying physics in shorter time scale processes.To address this inherent conflict in the multi-time scale coupling problems,we propose an explicit multi-time step algorithm within the framework of smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH),coupled with a solid dynamic relaxation scheme,to quickly achieve equilibrium state in the comparatively fast solid response process.To assess the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm,a manuscript torsional example,two distinct scenarios,i.e.,a nonlinear hardening bar stretching and a fluid diffusion coupled with Nafion membrane flexure,are simulated.The obtained results exhibit good agreement with analytical solution,outcomes from other numerical methods and experimental data.With this explicitly multi-time step algorithm,the simulation time is reduced firstly by independently addressing different processes being solved under distinct time step sizes,which stands in contrast to the implicit counterpart,and secondly decreasing the simulation time required to achieve a steady state for the solid by incorporating the dynamic relaxation scheme.

摘要Nanometallic materials have attracted wide research attention in the fabrication of functional devices,including flexible electronics circuits and high-sensitive sensors.Sintering of nanometallic materials is generally thought as an effective technology for the functional manufacturing,and the controllable sintering of nanometallic materials and its major mechanisms have long been a challenge.Here,an ultrafast laser processing strategy for Ag nanoparticles(NPs)is achieved by modulating plasmonic.The excitation mode of plasmon can be designed by laser parameters,including polarization with a specific crystal size.The atomic-scale ultrafast dynamics are revealed for understanding the sintering process and design of the sintered structures.The non-equilibrium energy transfer between electron and lattice and dynamic evolution of pressure are proved to be the foremost driving forces on the motion of atomic structures.Through research of plasmonic-induced electric field enhancement and non-uniform deposition of heat and in-situ observation of relative transmittance,mapping from atomic-scale structure to micro behavior is established.Based on plasmonic modulation and processing of Ag NPs,a machine learning combined flexible gesture sensor with high recognition accuracy is displayed.This work expands the knowledge of interactions between lasers and nanometallic materials and provides a method for designing functional devices for a wide range of applications.

摘要Geothermal energy is a crucial renewable resource for achieving carbon neutrality.However,its exploitation is hampered by scaling,particularly calcium carbonate(CaCO3)deposition in wellbores.To address this,a novel composite polymer scale inhibitor was synthesized via the copolymerization of five monomers:acrylic acid,hydroxyethyl methacrylate,sodium allyl sulfonate,citric acid,and monosodium glutamate.This molecular design enables the synergistic integration of multiple functional groups(carboxyl,sulfonic,hydroxyl,ester,and amide).Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the successful incorporation of these groups,and thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated excellent thermal stability.Evaluation experiments revealed that the copolymer serves as a highly effective scale inhibitor under simulated high-temperature geothermal conditions(150℃—200℃),achieving an inhibition rate exceeding 96%against CaCO3 scaling.This work presents a promising and sustainable solution for scaling control in challenging geothermal environments.

摘要Understanding how biodiversity-ecosystem functioning(BEF)relationships scale spatially and temporally remains critical under global change.Here,using continuous monitoring databases across temperate,subtropical and tropical natural forests in China from 2004 to 2020,we quantified multiscale tree diversity-biomass dynamics.Linear mixed-effect and structural equation models were used to further disentangle the direct and indirect pathways through which tree diversity influences forest biomass at different scales.The results revealed significant positive linear relationships between tree species richness and stand biomass at 1200 and 400 m² scales(P0.05).Notably,these demonstrated relationships exhibited consistent temporal stability across all spatial scales throughout the study period.Importantly,the direct effect of tree diversity on biomass intensified with increasing spatial scale,while indirect effects mediated through stand structural attributes(CV_DBH and tree density)became proportionally stronger at finer scales.Further analyses showed that stand structural attributes emerged as the strongest predictor of biomass variation across all scales,surpassing both diversity and climate effects.Furthermore,spatial variation of climate factors(mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation)mainly affected stand biomass through the indirect effects on tree species diversity and stand structural attributes.Overall,multiscale analyses revealed stand structural attributes dominates biomass prediction,with climate acting indirectly.Scaling biodiversity-structure strategies can enhance forest resilience under global change.Future work should integrate cross-scale mechanisms into climate-smart afforestation for sustainable carbon sequestration.

摘要China's population age structure(PAS)has already entered a modern phase,with the effects of aging and declining birth rates becoming increasingly severe.These trends pose significant challenges to demographic and socioeconomic stability.In this study,the scale nesting theory was used to analyze the population census data for 2000-2020 from prefecture-level cities.Using a multiscale geographically weighted regression model,this study explores the spatial characteristics of China's age structure and quantitatively examines the driving factors within this nested framework.The evolution of PAS in the prefecture-level cities in China exhibited distinct stages,while depicting a rapid transition toward an aging model.In the nested space,single-scale nesting was primarily synchronous,while double-scale nesting was characterized by simultaneous synchronization.The Northeast region exhibited the highest degree of synchronous development in the PAS within the nested space.The regression coefficients indicated that the population system and per capita gross domestic product(GDP)were the primary and secondary factors,respectively.Topographical variation exerted an influence on only the synchronous-advance type,while PM2.5exhibited a significant association with the advance-lag type.This study provides scientific support for high-quality development across regions in the context of heterogeneous population age structures.

摘要Extensive research has been devoted to single-atom activation of persulfates in recent years.However,mechanistic understanding of the distinct interactions between different persulfates(i.e.,peroxymonosulfate(PMS)and peroxydisulfate(PDS))and the coordination environments of single-atom catalysts(SACs)remains critical for advancing their practical applications.Herein,we developed a Fe-N4 SAC exhibiting dual activation capabilities for both PMS and PDS.Intriguingly,experimental results revealed divergent activation mechanisms:PMS activation was predominantly mediated via single-site reactions generating singlet oxygen(1O2),whereas PDS activation proceeded through both dual-site and single-site pathways involving concurrent1O2 generation and electron transfer processes.Density functional theory calculations further demonstrated that the geometric alignment between the inter-site distances of Fe-N4 centers and the molecular dimensions of PDS serves as the key determinant for enabling the electron transfer pathway.This fundamental structure-reactivity correlation suggests that the intrinsic molecular-scale differences between PMS and PDS govern their distinct interaction mechanisms with Fe-N4 SACs.Finally,the scale-up experiments realized nearly complete sulfamethoxazole degradation during 120 h continuous operation without obvious decline in both the Fe-N4/PMS and Fe-N4/PDS systems.This work provides fundamental insights into molecular-scale effects on persulfate activation mechanisms,establishing new design principles for SACs optimization in advanced oxidation processes.

摘要Human settlement quality(HSQ)is a critical component of sustainable urban development,directly affecting residents'health,well-being,and quality of life.However,most existing studies rely on expert-defined service radii and indicator weights at the city scale,overlooking residents'perceptions and failing to capture fine-grained variations at the community level.This study proposes a Perceptual-Scale Optimized Random Forest(PSO-RF)to enable human-centered,community-scale HSQ evaluation by integrating subjective satisfaction data with objective environmental indicators.The framework captures multi-scale perceptual differences in environmental features and determines the optimal measurement scale for each indicator,leading to more accurate HSQ assessments.Five case cities in China and Germany—Beijing,Changsha,Shenzhen,Berlin,and Munich—were selected to reflect diverse regional,socio-economic,and developmental contexts,based on multi-source spatiotemporal data from 2010,2015,and 2020.The findings reveal that:(1)Residents perceive HSQ across two dominant spatial scales:local(860 m)and accessible(2,050 m);(2)Chinese communities emphasize socio-economic conditions within close proximity,while German communities prioritize broader natural environmental factors;(3)The PSORF model reduces evaluation error by 9.6%compared to fixed-radius approaches by identifying indicator-specific perceptual scales;(4)The generated HSQ and shortcoming maps uncover localized human settlement challenges and offer practical guidance for targeted urban planning.This study advances the methodological foundation for perception-driven livability research and provides actionable insights for precision urban governance.

摘要Instant access to the particle size characteristics of sandstone is of great importance to improve the efficiency and safety of deep in situ mining.It is highly challenging to quantify the particle size under non-destructive conditions.In this research,six distance-dependent texture features were further extracted via the gray-scale level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)analysis.The gray-scale distribution reveals that the extremely reflective pixels are prevalent in the gray-scale images of the sandstone,accounting for an average of 0.06%of each image.The image preprocessing can effectively enhance the dynamic range,the global contrast,and the most dominant gray-scale values.Depending on the variation pattern with the distance,all six features were divided into scale-sensitive features and scale-invariant features.A prediction model for the median particle size of sandstone based on the texture feature scale was finally developed and validated.The results indicate entropy exhibits the best prediction performance with a maximum relative error of 15.8%.These achievements could provide a theoretical basis and an effective solution for predicting the physical and mechanical properties of the sandstone by texture features.
摘要Background:The Act Belong Commit-ABCs ofMental Health campaign is the world’s first comprehensive,population-wide,community-based initiative to promote mental health.In response to a growing demand for valid tools to monitor mental health promoting behaviours,this study presents the development and psychometric evaluation of the ABC-Mental Health Promoting Behaviours(ABC-MHPB)scale in a Danish population-based sample.Methods:A 10-item scale was developed,based on the ABC framework,to assess mental health promoting behaviours.A total of 119,221 randomly selected participants aged 18+filled out an electronic survey,including the scale to measure the underlying construct of mental health promoting behaviours.Analyses pertaining to construct,content,reliability,discriminant,and convergent validity assessments were carried out,and an operationalization was proposed.Results:The initial 10-item version showed inadequate model fit,resulting in the removal of one item.Construct validity testing supported a 9-item three-factor model with satisfactory fit.Full invariance was observed across education(primary/unknown vs.higher),and partial invariance across sex(women vs.men)and age(<25 vs.25+),with content,discriminant,and convergent validity also supported.Based on a practical operationalization of the scale,regression results showed a cross-sectional pattern characteristic of a dose-response association with the outcomes of mental well-being and loneliness.Conclusion:The findings suggest that the 9-item ABC-MHPB scale is an appropriate tool for assessing and monitoring mental health promoting behaviours in the general population and might be relevant as a tool to evaluate interventions aiming to promote mental health.Further validation over time and in diverse populations,along with intervention and longitudinal studies,is needed to confirm its associations with mental health outcomes.

摘要The(010)orientation ofβ-Ga2O3is a highly promising platform for next-generation lateral power electronics due to its superior theoretical transport properties.However,progress has been impeded by the unavailability of large-area substrates,limiting studies to small-scale samples.Leveraging the recent emergence of 2-inch wafers,we report the first demonstration of homoepitaxial growth on a 2-inch,Fe-doped semi-insulating(010)β-Ga2O3substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD).A systematic,wafer-scale characterization reveals the successful growth of a highquality epitaxial film.High-resolution x-ray diffraction shows an excellent crystalline structure,with a rocking curve full-width ranging from 21.0 arcsec to 103.0 arcsec.Atomic force microscopy confirms an atomically smooth surface with a root-mean-square roughness below 1.53 nm,displaying a distinct step-flow growth mode across the wafer.Furthermore,mercury-probe capacitance-voltage mapping indicates a well-controlled carrier concentration of~2×10~(18)cm~(-3)with a RSD of 5.12%.This work provides the first comprehensive assessment of 2-inch(010)Ga2O3epitaxial wafers,validating a critical material platform for the development and future manufacturing of high-performance power devices.
