    To address the insufficient generalization performance of deep learning-based arc fault detection methods in unknown multi-load circuits,a Filtering Long Short-Term Memory (Filtering LSTM) neural network driven by high-frequency coupled analog signals is proposed. By combining this network with a Lightweight convolutional neural network (Lightweight CNN),a Filtering LSTM-Lightweight CNN arc fault detection model is constructed. The high-frequency coupled signals of multi-load circuits can be simulated through the linear superposition of high-frequency coupled signals from single-load circuits. These analog signals are then used to drive the Filtering LSTM,which filters out unknown features in the multi-load circuit signals and reconstructs the signals. Finally,a Lightweight CNN optimized by the tree-structured Parzen estimator is employed to perform arc fault detection on the reconstructed signals. Experiments demonstrate that the Filtering LSTM-Lightweight CNN achieves an arc fault detection accuracy of 99.45% among 136 000 unknown multi-load circuit samples. Compared with detection algorithms that do not adopt Filtering LSTM,the proposed method improves the detection accuracy by up to 14.05%,significantly enhancing the generalization ability of the arc fault detection model.

    The detection of series arc faults is greatly affected by the type of load,and traditional fault detection methods that use current characteristics have the difficulty of setting threshold criteria. In response to this issue,an online detection method for series arc faults based on the time difference variation of load side voltage is proposed.By identifying the presence of fault arc voltage in the circuit, the arc fault detection is achieved. By using the adjacent wave inspection mode,the suspected arc fault voltage fault signal is detected,and then the reference waveform detection mode is triggered to confirm the arc fault.The test results show that the success rate of identifying the number of fault arcs of various loads is more than 95%. With the development of power Internet of Things and smart home technology, the proposed method provides a new idea for series arc fault detection.

    To addres the issue of insufficient communication reliability in the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems of wind farms in remote areas, an improved system and control method integrating 4G wireless communication and power-line carrier communication is proposed. By deploying series-connected data transfer unit (DTU) modules and power-line carrier modules in the wind turbine controllerend,a hybrid communication network of “wireless primary communication+carrier backup” is constructed. The DTU module realizes high-speed data transmission through the 4G network,while the power-line carrier module establishes communication links between adjacent wind turbines using the power grid lines. Based on the signal strength detection and communication connection duration evaluation, data transmission mode is dynamically switched to ensure reliable data transmission under weak signals or equipment failures. Experimental results show that the system significantly enhances the anti-interference ability and communication stability of the SCADA system,providing a reliable solution for the remote monitoring and efficient management of wind farms in remote areas.

    To address the issue of diameter reduction in structural components due to corrosion, a non-destructive testing method based on the sparrow search algorithm-optimized random forest regression (SSA-RFR) is proposed. Firstly, the eddy current response signals from specimens with varying diameters are collected under 1 kHz pulsed excitation. Kalman filtering is applied to denoise the raw signals,enhancing their quality.Subsequently, the key feature parameters are extracted via exponential function fitting to serve as effective inputs for modeling.Finally, an SSA-RFR predictive model is developed for regression analysis and prediction of component diameter.Experimental results demonstrate that the mean squared error (MSE) of the proposed method is 0.310 6, representing a reduction of approximately 97.9% compared to the traditional Random Forest Regression model and markedly enhancing prediction accuracy.These findings validate the effectiveness and engineering applicability of the proposed SSA-RFR method for non-destructive testing.

    The integration of distributed generation (DG) has significantly improved the utilization efficiency of renewable energy sources, but it has also posed new challenges to the safe and stable operation of medium-voltage distribution networks, especially regarding the reliable operation of protection devices.The resistive superconducting fault current limiter (RSFCL) can effectively control the abnormal growth of current and solve the above problems through coordinated operation with protection devices. The 10 kV distribution network is focused on and the optimal configuration of RSFCL is investigated.The impact of DG integration on current protection is analyzed,the corresponding mathematical model is constructed, and the superconducting fault current limiter is incorporated into the model to limit the growth of current.Furthermore, a pre-selection scheme for the installation location of the current limiter based on sensitivity analysis is proposed to address the optimal configuration problem under the scenario of multi-point DG integration and the peafowl optimization algorithm is used to solve the optimal configuration of the current limiter.The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed configuration scheme in solving the problem in this scenario.

    To eliminate the secondary pull-in phenomenon of the contactor,combinating with the structure and principle of the contactor, the causes of its secondary pull-in phenomenon are analyzed.Using Ansys Maxwell simulation software, the suction reaction force matching relationship of the contactor is optimized.By changing the main compression spring reaction force, the overtravel compression spring reaction force and the contact overtravel, the theoretical basis for eliminating the secondary pull-in of the contactor is obtained. And the influence of the main compression spring reaction force,the overtravel compression spring reaction force and the contact overtravel on the secondary pull-in phenomenon of the contactor is verified by the grouped test.The results show that increasing the main compression spring reaction force, reducing the overtravel spring reaction force and reducing the contact overtravel can all eliminate the secondary pull-in phenomenon of the contactor.

    Taking the electromagnetic system of an AC contactor as an example,the mechanism and key influencing factors of noise generation in AC electromagnets are theoretically investigated.Through Ansys finite element electromagnetic simulation,it is concluded that five parameters—the inner pole area of the short-circuit ring,contacting airgap between the core pole surfaces,coil power angular frequency,short-circuit ring resistance,and short-circuit ring turns are critical factors affecting electromagnetic noise suppression.These parameters can be optimized using three equations:the pole area ratio between inner and outer of the short-circuit ring,the phase difference of magnetic fluxes between inner and outer of the short-circuit ring, and the comprehensive coefficient of the short-circuit ring.A categorical analysis of contactor electromagnetic system noise is conducted to identify the corresponding root causes.Finally,several simulation examples validate the correctness of the conclusions.
