Reducing the fossil fuel consumption of aluminum smelting production, which consumes
around 8% of electricity annually, is of great significance for China's energy sector. One …

This paper proposes a generator excitation voltage control scheme for emergency frequency
regulation of island power systems with voltage-dependent loads. It is able to regulate the …

In the era of big data, researchers interested in developing statistical models are challenged
with how to achieve parsimony. Usually, some sort of dimension reduction strategy is …

The industrial electrolysis process which is used to produce aluminum is a highly energy-
intensive process. As it is possible to adjust the power consumption of this process on short …

Providing ancillary service with controllable loads has drawn increasing attention from
academia and industry. This paper proposes a hierarchical control strategy for aluminum …

With the development of the smart grid in China, new opportunities for responsive industrial
loads to participate in the provision of ancillary services (AS) will become accessible. This …

High-current variable-voltage (HCVV) rectifiers are used in the metal and chemical
industries. Typical power ratings vary from tens of kW to hundreds of MW. Even with the …

Central venous access is an invasive medical procedure of high complexity used in critically
ill patients. Its implementation requires great skills and knowledge from a health care …

The performance of the current stabilization control system in an aluminum smelter affects
the quality and the quantity of the electrolytic products. This paper elaborates the power …
