Abstract:

The rapid development of the electric power market makes the scientificity and rationality of grid investment decision-making particularly important. In this paper, firstly, we design a grid investment benefit assessment method based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. And taking the grid investment benefit of M city in 2022 as an example, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to quantitatively evaluate the grid investment benefit. Based on the evaluation results, the weaknesses of power grid investment in M city are found. Then the multi-level optimization strategy of grid investment is further proposed to achieve the maximization of investment benefits. The strategy considers the objectives and constraints of different levels, such as grid structure, power supply reliability, operation efficiency, and power sales revenue, and coordinates the interests between all levels by establishing a multi-objective optimization model to achieve the global optimization of the grid investment decision. Finally, after adjusting the allocation ratio and the allocation amount by the multi-level optimization strategy, the overall evaluation of the city’s grid investment efficiency in 2023 is improved from “average” to “excellent”. It shows that the multilevel optimization strategy designed in this paper can provide scientific guidance for grid investment decision-making.

Abstract:

Aiming at the shortcomings of traditional relay protection, an adaptive multi-area protection coordination model is studied and designed. Firstly, combining different control strategies such as master-slave control and sag control, a method of AC/DC distribution network trend calculation and network loss analysis based on the alternating iteration method is proposed and realized to ensure that the adaptive relay protection can act correctly. The proposed method is analyzed for AC/DC hybrid distribution network trend calculation, and the alternating iteration solution method is used for trend analysis and calculation, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is veriϐied by two examples of AC/DC hybrid distribution networks. Then the adaptive Agent with reinforcement learning is introduced, and its constructed multi-agent system has more system adaptive capability. The adaptive current interruption protection is compared with the traditional current interruption protection, and its protection principle and protection scope are analyzed, on the basis of which an adaptive coordinated protection method based on MAS grid is proposed to realize the MAS adaptive current interruption protection, and its simulation is veriϐied. The experimental results show that the method of this paper can signiϐicantly improve the ϐlexibility, effectiveness and stability of AC and DC distribution network operation.

Abstract:

As a key link in international trade, the price volatility of container transportation has a profound impact on the global supply chain, and uncertainty shocks are one of the main causes of price volatility. With this topic, this paper measures the level of uncertainty at the policy level through the uncertainty index construction method, which lays the foundation for subsequent research. Dynamic correlation and impulse effect analyses of container transportation market prices under uncertainty shocks are conducted using DCC-GARCH and SVAR models. China’s economic policy uncertainty index showed four stages of significant increase in 2001, 2008, 2015 and 2019. The overall price volatility of the container transportation market shows an upward trend, and in 2023, the transportation price is 23,835 yuan. Container transportation prices are affected by the uncertainty of China’s economic policies as well as China’s trade policies, with correlation coefficients ranging from -0.69 to 0.60. The influence of China’s economic policy uncertainty index on container transportation price does not have a long time lag effect.

Abstract:

Graph neural networks are widely used in image recognition. This paper introduces a two-node graph neural network DouN-GNN model based on a traditional graph neural network. By constructing two nodes, the features in the sample image that are difficult to extract by the shallow embedding network are extracted so that the network model can incorporate more multi-dimensional information about the sample image, thus enhancing image recognition accuracy. Aiming at the problem of the overall performance of the DouN-GNN model not reaching the ideal state, this paper adds three optimization modules to improve the DouN-GNN model and form the IGNN model. The optimized IGNN model is trained, tested, and applied to real-world scenarios such as agricultural weed recognition, natural resource enforcement, and video surveillance to explore the performance of the IGNN image recognition model constructed in this paper in real-world applications. The model achieves the highest accuracy of 98.39% in agricultural weed image recognition, and the classification accuracy for weeds is also high. In natural resources law enforcement and video surveillance, the model in this paper performs better than other image recognition models and can effectively meet the requirements of image recognition in practical application scenarios.

Abstract:

In the current information age, image tampering detection technology is crucial to ensure the integrity and authenticity of digital media, and remote image tampering detection technology combined with deep neural networks has become a research hotspot. This paper adopts convolutional neural network as the main detection tool, and on the improved DPN network model, the feature fusion module based on the attention mechanism is used to fuse the two features in this paper. In this way, the image tampering detection technique based on dual-stream feature fusion is proposed in this paper. The precision, recall and F value of the detection algorithm in this paper are better than the comparison algorithm. When the image compression quality factor is reduced to 20, the precision rate, recall rate, and F value of this paper’s algorithm do not appear to be greatly reduced, and the reduction is only 0.028, 0.041, and 0.042. This paper’s image tampering detection algorithm, which fuses the frequency domain branching module and the attention mechanism feature fusion module, has a higher detection efficiency. And the Accuracy rate, Recall rate and F Value of this paper’s algorithm on image level detection are 17.8%, 15.3% and 16.3% higher than that of DCT algorithm respectively. In conclusion, the remote image tampering technique combined with deep neural network provides an effective solution to ensure the authenticity and integrity of images.

Abstract:

In order to improve the impact toughness and service life of GF/EVE composites, this paper applies the thermoplastic nonwoven fabric structure to the preparation of GF/EVE composites. The thermoplastic polyurethane was used as the raw material, and the meltblown method was used for the preparation of thermoplastic nonwoven fabrics, and then the prepared thermoplastic nonwoven fabrics were used for the preparation of GF/EVE composites through the VARTM device. For the properties of GF/EVE-TPU composites, specific test methods are given to define the moisture absorption rate and the erosion performance based on the consideration of the stress change of its hygrothermal properties, and the determination of the interlaminar fracture toughness is given.The critical damage threshold load of GF/EVE-TPU composites is 1.57kN, and its contact force increases with time, and the composites are aging in After 60 days, its moisture absorption and erosion weight loss in alkaline environment were 0.736% and 81.19%, respectively.The optimum fracture toughness value of 9g/m² thermoplastic nonwoven structure incorporated into GF/EVE composite was 0.97kJ/m², and the GIIC value of GF\EVE-TPU30 was increased compared with the GF/EVE material without interlaminar toughening by 183.83%. Combining the thermoplastic nonwoven fabric structure with GF/EVE composites can enhance the erosion resistance and interlaminar toughness of the composites and improve the service life of GF/EVE composites.
