Short-Term Optimal Scheduling Method of Cascade Hydropower Stations Based on Segmented Load Construction Strategy by LI Chonghao, LI Shushan, TANG Hongbing, LIU Huan, MA Xiangyu, LIAO Shengli

“…With the rapid development of China's economy,electricity demand has increased.As the largest clean energy in China,hydropower has been put into large-scale and centralized production,and the most complex large-scale hydropower system in the world is formed.However,short-term hydropower optimal scheduling faces the serious challenge of the curse of dimensionality due to massive cascade hydropower stations,numerous hydropower constraints,and time-sensitive scheduling requirements.Therefore,this paper proposes a short-term optimal scheduling method for cascade hydropower stations based on a segmented load construction strategy.First,the selection rules of the hydropower stations to be regulated are formulated from the perspective of the regulation performance,location,and task of the cascade hydropower stations.Then,a method is given to divide the complex original load into two sub-load processes,namely the segmented load process with time reduction scale and the residual load process with frequent fluctuations.Finally,the adjustment method is given,and the particle swarm algorithm is used for traversal and optimization at different stages,so as to find the load division process when the target is optimal.By taking seven cascade hydropower stations in a certain river basin in southwest China as research objects,a mature particle swarm algorithm is used to simulate the typical day during the flood and dry periods.The results show that the segmented load construction strategy proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the solution complexity,and the appropriate number of segments can improve the solution efficiency while ensuring the solution quality.In addition,this method greatly reduces the output fluctuation of auxiliary hydropower stations and helps to reduce the difficulty of scheduling and unit loss.Therefore,the method proposed in this paper can provide a reference for solving the short-term scheduling of large-scale cascade hydropower stations and is of good practical value.…”

Survey on blockchain privacy protection techniques in cryptography by Feng LIU, Jie YANG, Jiayin QI

“…In recent years, the issue of data privacy has attracted increased attention, and how to achieve effective privacy protection in blockchain is a new research hotspot.In view of the current research status and development trend of blockchain in privacy protection, the privacy protection methods of blockchain in transaction address,prophecy machine and smart contract were explained, and the privacy strategies of blockchain in the protection of basic elements were summarized.Based on high-level literature at home and abroad, two types of blockchain cryptographic protection methods and usage scenarios were analyzed, including special cryptographic primitives and post-quantum cryptography.The advantages and disadvantages of seven cryptographic techniques applicable to current blockchain privacy protection were also reviewed, including attribute-based encryption, special data signature, homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, and lattice ciphers.It was concluded that the privacy protection of blockchain applications cannot be achieved without cryptographic technology.Meanwhile, the blockchain privacy protection technologies were analyzed in terms of both basic element protection and cryptographic protection.It was concluded that it was difficult to effectively solve the privacy problem only from the application and contract layers of the blockchain, and various cryptographic technologies should be used to complement each other according to different needs and application scenarios.In addition, according to the current development status of blockchain privacy cryptography, the narrative was developed from blockchain basic element protection and cryptography-based protection.From the perspectives of both endogenous basic element security and exogenous cryptographic privacy security, basic element privacy protection should be studied first, followed by an in-depth analysis of cryptographic protection techniques for blockchain privacy.The strengths and weaknesses and the potential value of the privacy handling aspects of the corresponding safeguards should be measured in terms of the development of technology in conjunction with practical applications, while considering the timeliness of the technology.Finally, an outlook on the future direction of blockchain privacy protection technologies was provided, indicating the issues that need to be addressed in focus.…”
