This paper presents a method to operate a grid connected hybrid system. The hybrid system composed of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered. The PV array normally uses a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to continuously deliver the highest power to the load when variations in irradiation and temperature occur, which make it become an uncontrollable source. In coordination with PEMFC, the hybrid system output power becomes controllable. Two operation modes, the unit-power control (UPC) mode and the feeder-flow control (FFC) mode, can be applied to the hybrid system. The coordination of two control modes, the coordination of the PV array and the PEMFC in the hybrid system, and the determination of reference parameters are presented. The proposed operating strategy with a flexible operation mode change always operates the PV array at maximum output power and the PEMFC in its high efficiency performance band, thus improving the performance of system operation, enhancing system stability, and decreasing the number of operating mode changes.
A sentence embedding vector can be obtained by connecting a global average pooling (GAP) to a pre-trained language model. The problem of such a sentence embedding vector using a GAP is that it is generated with the same weight for all words appearing in the sentence. We propose a novel sentence embedding-method-based model Token Attention-SentenceBERT (TA-SBERT) to address this problem. The rationale of TA-SBERT is to enhance the performance of sentence embedding by introducing three strategies. First, we convert the base form while preprocessing the input sentence to reduce misunderstanding. Second, we propose a novel Token Attention (TA) technique that distinguishes important words to produce more informative sentence vectors. Third, we increase stability of fine-tuning to avoid catastrophic forgetting by adding a reconstruction loss to the word embedding vector. Extensive ablation studies demonstrate that our TA-SBERT outperforms the original SentenceBERT (SBERT) in the sentence vector evaluation using semantic textual similarity (STS) tasks and the SentEval toolkit.
-Active power control scheme for distributed generation in microgrid consists of feeder flow control and unit power control. Feeder flow control is more useful than the unit power control for demand-side management, because microgrid can be treated as a dispatchable load at the point of common coupling(PCC). This paper presents detailed descriptions of the feeder flow control scheme for the hybrid system in microgrid. It is divided into three parts, namely, the setting of feeder flow reference range for stable hybrid system operation, feeder flow control algorithm depending on load change in microgrid and hysteresis control. Simulation results using the PSCAD/EMTDC are presented to validate the inverter control method for a feeder flow control mode. As a result, the feeder flow control algorithm for the hybrid system in microgrid is efficient for supplying continuously active power to customers without interruption.
