    Vacuum gas nitriding process was applied to strengthen the surface of the SP-700 titanium alloy at different temperatures. The surface morphology, cross-sectional morphology, hardness, abrasion resistance and electrochemical corrosion performance of the newly formed gas-nitrided layers were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical microscope (OM), micro-Vickers hardness tester, reciprocating friction and warm damage tester, white light interference three-dimensional surface profiler and electrochemical workstation, respectively. The corrosion behavior of the gas-nitrided layers was determined by immersion corrosion method in HF solution. Results show that, the microstructural morphologies of the gas-nitrided layers are significantly influenced by the processing temperatures. With the increase of temperature, the amount of nitride increases and the nitride layer becomes denser. The hardness of the high-temperature gas-nitrided layer was about 1.9 times higher than that of the matrix, and the relative abrasion resistance can reach 51.34. All samples can be passivated spontaneously in 3.5% NaCl solution, indicating their good electrochemical corrosion resistance. The samples with gas-nitrided layer perform better in HF corrosion solution, and the higher the processing temperature, the better the corrosion resistance of the samples.

    To explore the application potential of sound-assisted combustion technology in W-shaped flame boilers, the combustion characteristics of a W-shaped flame boiler with real-time load of 315 MW under acoustic excitation were experimentally studied. Twelve and four acoustic excitation devices were staggered in the main combustion area and the burning area of the boiler, respectively, and they were put into operation in a group of three devices in a circular manner. The frequency of the motor driving the acoustic excitation device was 35 Hz, and the corresponding intake pressure was maintained at 0.35-0.47 MPa. In the test, the changes of the NOx mass concentration at the inlet of the A and B sides of the denitration tower, the SOx mass concentration at the inlet of the desulfurization unit, and the coal consumption of the unit were recorded through the distributed control system (DCS) of the centralized control room of the power plant. Results showed that, after the acoustic excitation was put into the denitrification tower, the mass concentration of NOx at the inlet of the A and B sides of the denitration tower is decreased by 6.08% and 5.47%, respectively, the SOx mass concentration is decreased by 1.24%, and the average coal consumption of the unit is decreased by 1.5 g/(kW·h). In addition, based on the ash sampling analysis of the economizer and air preheater outlet, it is found that the carbon mass fraction of fly ash is decreased by 1.64% and 1.70% respectively, compared with the case without acoustic excitation. Sound-assisted combustion technology can effectively improve the thermal efficiency of W-shaped flame boilers and reduce pollutant emissions.

    Based on Bezier curve, a parameterized configuration method for outlet shape of film cooling hole was proposed. Outlet shape of film cooling hole could be changed by adjusting control points of Bezier curve. Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) and numerical simulation methods were used to obtain a large number of film cooling effects with different outlet shape of film cooling hole. Radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) prediction model and genetic algorithm (GA) were used to optimize outlet shape of film cooling hole. Results show that the optimized cooling holes can effectively inhibit strength and size of counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP), and reduce the mixing loss between cooling flow and hot main stream; at the same time, the optimized outlet shape of film cooling hole has an expansive channel, which weakens upward momentum of cooling flow at the outlet of film cooling hole, effectively inhibits penetration of cooling flow to hot main stream, and enhances film cooling efficiency. Under the blowing ratio (M) of 0.91, the film cooling efficiency of the optimized film cooling hole is improved by 40.48% and 17.82%, respectively, compared to that of circular hole and fan-shaped hole.

    Existing methods for evaluating yaw error of wind turbine often rely on lidar or long-term (more than three months) operating data. A yaw error algorithm based on actual power curve threshold screening was proposed for calculation of short-term operating data yaw error before the first maintenance of new units. Firstly, the Bin method was used to solve the actual power curve of unit, and the threshold method of the actual power curve was used to eliminate data that may reduce calculation accuracy with no need for nacelle transfer function (NTF). Then, the selected dataset was divided into wind speed compartments, and interval mean method was used to solve the representative yaw error of each wind compartment. Finally, wind speed weighting method was used to solve the yaw error. Through practical application in an onshore wind farm in Jiangsu, it shows that the proposed algorithm can obtain effective yaw error calculation results for both short-term and long-term operating data.

    This paper proposed an integrated system which includes a tower-type solar thermal power system and energy storage system, employing S-CO2 and quartz as the storage media and a re-compressed S-CO2 Brayton cycle as the power cycle. Based on the Gensystem platform, mathematical models of the power cycle, solar heat collection system, and S-CO2 thermocline storage tank were developed to investigate the performance of the heat collection system and the dynamic characteristics of heat storage and release in the S-CO2 thermocline storage tank. This foundation facilitated an analysis of the integrated system's thermodynamic and economic performance. Results show that after 13 cycles of heat storage and release, the temperature at the outlet of the thermocline storage tank tends to be stable. At the conclusion of heat release, the temperature of the thermal fluid exiting the tank is decreased by 63 K, while at the end of heat storage, the temperature of the cold fluid exiting is increased by 46 K. Compared with a dual storage tank tower solar thermal power system, the average daily power generation efficiency on the summer solstice and winter solstice is enhanced by 1.8% and 1.7%, respectively. The total system investment is reduced by 9.46%, the levelized cost of electricity is reduced by 9.45%, and the investment payback period is shortened by 1.8 years.

    By dividing the incident solar spectrum into bands, an integrated photovoltaic (PV) and photothermal (PT) driven organic Rankine cycle (ORC) was established. Thermodynamic analysis of the system was conducted under the temperature limit of 100 ℃ for the cooling panel, to identify suitable working fluids for the ORC system and optimize the evaporation temperature. Results show that isobutene as the cooling fluid for the photovoltaic system and the working fluid for the ORC system, the highest system efficiency can be achieved. Frequency division technology transfers the heat dissipation load of the cooling panel to the collector, which can reduce the cooling demand of the photovoltaic panel and thus reduce the mass flow rate of the working fluid. It has a positive effect on improving the system's power generation capacity, and can enhance the efficiency of pure photovoltaic electricity generation by 9%. Additionally, frequency division efficiency and the absorption band of solar cells significantly impact the overall efficiency of the integrated power supply system.

    In order to solve the problems of slow response speed, noticeable chattering and low steady-state accuracy when the external environment changes in the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method of photovoltaic system, the auto-coupling PI control strategy based on auto-coupling PID(ACPID) control was proposed. Based on the photovoltaic system of Boost circuit, it simplified the controlled system with coordinate transformations. At the same time, the strategy introduced virtual control volumes to divide the system into outer loop voltage control and inner loop current control, and it defined internal dynamic and external disturbances as total disturbance, which equivalently mapped the photovoltaic power generation system as a linear perturbation system. And the auto-coupling PI controllers of outer loop and inner loop were designed based on the auto-coupling PI control system. Results show that the proposed method can realize the effective MPPT control of the photovoltaic system and has the faster response speed, good anti-chattering ability and good robustness to external environmental changes.

    To address the issue that the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitration system is difficult to control due to the change of system characteristics along with power load under deep peak regulation of thermal power units, an optimization control scheme of conditional integral sliding mode based on radial basis function (RBF) was proposed. The conditional integration sliding mode was used to reduce the jitter and adjustment time, and the RBF was used to approximate the unknown disturbance under the change of the characteristics of the SCR denitration system in real time to improve the robustness of the system. A Nash equilibrium quantum particle swarm optimization (NEQPSO) algorithm was proposed to obtain the optimal parameters of the RBF conditional integral sliding mode control scheme, and the simulation experiments were carried out under the load of 20%-100%. Results show that compared with the traditional control scheme, the optimized RBF conditional integral sliding mode control reduces the overshoot by 50.26%, the adjustment time is shortened by 13.55%, and the overshoot is only 1.50% under the interference signal, which has faster response speed, stronger anti-interference ability and better robustness.

    A power generation system with pre-combustion CO2 capture based on staged coal gasification and chemical recuperation was proposed to achieve high-efficiency and low-carbon power generation from coal. The system decoupled the coal gasification process into two stages: a pyrolysis stage at 600 ℃ and a gasification stage producing syngas at 1 400 ℃. The exhaust heat from gas turbines was used to drive pyrolysis, and in addition, the sensible heat of syngas was used to drive pyrolysis gas reforming. The thermodynamic performance of the present system was compared with the reference system, and the effect of different key parameters on the system performance was analyzed. Results show that at the carbon capture ratio of 90%, the net power generation efficiency, exergy efficiency and CO2 emissions per kW·h of the present system are 39.97%, 38.94% and 85.27 g/(kW·h), respectively, which are 2.33%, 2.34% higher and 5.27 g/(kW·h) lower than the reference system. The superior performance of the present system comes mainly from the significant reduction in the irreversible losses of its gasification process, which is 62.13% of the reference system. The analysis further indicates that the system net power generation efficiency reaches an optimal 41.3% under the steam-to-carbon ratio of 1.4 and the carbon capture ratio of 80% at the gasification temperature of 1 200 ℃. As the carbon capture ratio increases, the net power generation efficiency and CO2 emissions per kW·h both decrease, the latter with a minimum of 51.1 g/(kW·h).

    Taking the coal-fired thermodynamic system of S-CO2 recompression and reheat cycle as the research object, and the cycle efficiency (ηt) and levelized cost of energy (CLCOE) as the thermodynamic and economic performance indexes of the system, the influence laws of the system key parameters on the thermodynamic and economic performance of the system were analyzed. A multi-objective optimization model of S-CO2 recompression and reheat cycle coal-fired thermodynamic system was established based on NSGA-II algorithm. Aiming at the thermodynamic performance and economy of the system, the optimal solutions of the system key parameters were obtained. Finally, the multi-objective optimization of the system was carried out by taking reheat temperature, turbine inlet temperature, main compressor outlet pressure, reheat pressure, main compressor inlet pressure, main compressor inlet temperature and split-flow coefficient as the decision variables. Results show that the cycle efficiency and levelized cost of energy of the system increase with the increase of turbine inlet temperature and reheat temperature, thus thermodynamic performance and economy of the system cannot be optimized simultaneously. The multi-objective optimization results of ηt and CLCOE are 53.07% and 453.43 yuan/(MW·h). Compared with the design condition, ηt is increased by 5.42% and CLCOE is decreased by 5.91%.
