2018, 5(3): 1-7. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2018.03.001
Abstract:
  [Introduction]  With the rapid development of offshore wind power, it is necessary to develop new foundation structure of offshore wind power to meet the design requirements of deep water and soft soil foundation.  [Method]  In this paper, an offshore wind power project design was taken as an example to do research on a new wind turbine foundation structure which was of large-diameter steel cylinder combined with jacket. Using finite element software PLAXIS 3D, overall stability calculations of the structure were carried out by adopting reasonable and feasible constitutive model and simplified form. Interaction between steel cylinder and soil was considered. Internal forces and displacements of wind turbine foundation were analyzed. Besides, solid model was established by using ANSYS and stress of components under extreme load combinations were calculated.  [Result]  The results indicate that the internal forces and displacements of the new combined type of wind turbine foundation are controllable. The new structure is applicative to the construction of offshore wind power on soft foundation and deep water area theoretically.  [Conclusion]  The research has certain reference significance to the development of the new type of offshore wind power foundation structure in the future.

Ilka LEWINGTON, Deng PAN
2018, 5(3): 8-18. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2018.03.002
Abstract:
    [Introduction]   This paper is Part 2 of two papers, looking at applying European countries′ experience with economic regulation to one of the urgent challenges of China′s electricity systems: namely the effective connection of offshore wind.    [Method]   Using a methodology of comparative analysis of regulatory regimes, five components of regulatory regimes for offshore wind are defined and assessed for China: regulatory entity, degree of effective unbundling, tariff regulatory method and connection charging method and responsible entity. The paper analyses the changes to China′s network regulatory regime under way through Document No. 9 and related regulatory changes, including the introduction of a separate mechanism of economic regulation for China′s network companies, vividly described as "take control of the middle, release the two sides" .    [Result]   The paper finds that the new regulatory methods still need refinement in order to ensure that they fulfil regulatory objectives such as allocative and cost efficiency, as well as quality of service-including timely connection and full transmission of onshore and offshore wind power. Based on the experience of three European case studies (Part 1 of the two papers), representing the TSO model, the generator model and the third-party model in Part 1, the paper concludes that in principle, all three models could be applied in China. Bearing in mind some similarities and differences in assumptions and priorities between Europe and China, the paper recommends that China adopts the regulatory model best aligned with its priorities.    [Conclusion]   If the most urgent priorities are to improve the co-ordinated development of generation and network capacities and to provide good incentives for transmission investments, the TSO model would be most suitable; however, it would be vital to implement this model through an independent regulator, with legally binding network planning and clear liabilities for the network companies′ failure to connect in time, and also incentives to reduce curtailments.

2018, 5(3): 26-32. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2018.03.004
Abstract:
  [Introduction]  There is an obvious pressure energy loss in the electricity output process of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system, which is caused by pressure regulating valves. The existing of pressure energy loss results in an efficiency drop of CAES system.  [Method]  In this manuscript, the ejector technology was introduced into CAES systems to finish the air flow pressure regulating process. The target air flow with middle pressure parameter could be obtained by high pressure air flow ejecting low pressure air flow in ejectors. It causes less pressure energy loss than pressure regulating valves. In this investigation, we built and analyzed the performance of three CAES systems with three different pressure regulating methods, including "pressure regulating process only through valves" , "ejectors with fixed throat area" and "ejectors with adjustable throat area" .  [Result]  The results show that ejector technology can recover the pressure energy loss by increasing working air flow amount. There is about 2% percent additional air flow under ejector with fixed throat area. There is also about 4.1% percent additional air flow under ejector with adjustable throat area. The energy conversion efficiency of CAES system with pressure regulating valves is 59.26%, and those of CAES systems with fixed ejector and adjustable ejector increase to 59.60% and 59.97%, respectively.  [Conclusion]  The optimized CAES systems can be combined with renewable resource power plants to form united-power plants, which has positive effect in grid-connection of renewable power.

2018, 5(3): 42-47. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2018.03.006
Abstract:
  [Introduction]  N2O、C2H6、SF6 are used as refrigerants or working fluids in Rankine cycle. The critical and physical properties of these refrigerants make them as potential supercritical Brayton cycle fluids.  [Method]  By using a self-developed MATLAB program and REPROP physical property database published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), thermodynamic analysis of supercritical N2O (S-N2O), supercritical C2H6 (S-C2H6) and supercritical SF6 (S-SF6) Brayton cycle was conducted with comparison to supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) Brayton cycle. Recompression cycle was selected for study, and a variety of conditions were calcuted with turbine inlet temperature in range of 300~550 ℃, pressure in range of 15~25 MPa, and pre-cooler outlet temperature of 32 ℃ and 47 ℃.  [Result]  Thermal efficiency calculation results show that S-N2O, S-C2H6, S-SF6Brayton cycles all exibit high efficiency, and the efficicy is higher than the coresponding thermal efficiency of S-CO2Brayton cycle, and the thermal efficiency is always improved with the increase of the inlet temperature of the turbine, but the increase of the pressure does not always increase the cycle thermal efficiency. The increase of the outlet temperature of the precooler leads to a significant decrease in the cyclic thermal efficiency.. Flow calculation shows that the total mass flow rate and turbine inlet volume flow rate of S-N2O, S-C2H6, S-SF6, S-CO2 cycle are much higher than steam Rankine cycle with similar parameters, but the turbine outlet volume flow rates of these four supercritical fluids are close to each other.  [Conclusion]  S-N2O, S-C2H6, S-SF6 and S-CO2 cycle all have potential application value.
