A novel deep learning based time-varying channel prediction method by Jie ZHANG, Lihua YANG, Zenghao WANG, Bo HU, Qian NIE

“…For high-speed mobile orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, a novel time-varying channel prediction method based on deep learning was proposed.To avoid the influence caused by random initialization of network parameters, the proposed method firstly obtains an ideal channel estimation based on data and pilot, and then pre-trains the back propagation (BP) neural network based on the channel estimation to obtain the ideal network initial parameters.Then, based on the initial network value obtained by pre-training, the proposed method uses the channel estimation based on pilot to train the BP neural network again.Finally, the proposed method realizes the single-time-and multi-time prediction of time-varying channels through on-line prediction.Simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the prediction accuracy of time-varying channels and has a low computational complexity.…”

Short-term Optimal Scheduling Model for Hydropower Stations Considering Peak Shaving of Local and HVDC Receiving Power Grids by ZHOU Binbin, ZHANG Congtong, LIU Benxi, CHENG Chuntian, CHEN Kai, WANG Youxiang

“…In the face of the increasingly severe peak shaving pressure on both sending and receiving power grids of the high voltage direct current (HVDC) of large-scale hydropower stations,a short-term optimal scheduling model that takes into account peak shaving of local and HVDC receiving power grids of the cascade hydropower stations has been established.The model aims to minimize the maximum value of residual load in multiple power grids,not only considering the conventional hydraulic and power constraints of the cascade hydropower stations and the complex operation constraints of the HVDC transmission lines but also introducing coupled operation constraints between the HVDC transmission line and the hydropower stations.In the model-solving phase,the original model is transformed into a mixed-integer linear programming model by introducing auxiliary variables to linearize the objective function,hydraulic operation constraints,and HVDC operation constraints and using the big M method to linearize the bi-directional interval coupled constraints between the HVDC transmission line and the hydropower stations.Typical winter and summer days in a large-scale hydropower system in southwestern China are taken as examples,and the results show that the peak-valley difference of the sending power grid has decreased by up to 100%,while the decrease in the peak-valley difference in the receiving end power grid is 28.1% and 31.6%,respectively.It shows that the proposed model can share the flexibility of hydropower through HVDC transmission lines,achieve peak shaving in multiple power grids,and ensure safe operation of the HVDC transmission lines,which can provide a reference for short-term multi-grid peak shaving of large-scale cascade hydropower stations.…”
