We first demonstrate the Terahertz quasi-zero-order Mathieu-Gaussian beams with a 0.1-THz continuous wave. To generate these beams, two diffractive elements, a cylindrical lens and an axicon bearing specific phases are fabricated via 3D printing technology. The related numerical simulations are conducted to study intensity distributions and properties on non-diffraction and self-healing of THz quasi-zero-order Mathieu beams in free space. Experimental results are in good agreement with numerical ones. Based on the characteristic of terahertz Mathieu beams, they can be applied to terahertz linear array imaging system and terahertz communication.
Regarding day-ahead optimization dispatch in distribution network containing large-scaled distributed generations (DGs) and electric vehicles (EVs), this paper proposes an optimization dispatch method based on conic programming. A model for dispatch that can optimize the EV aggregator charging power and the output of DGs is established. The proposed model takes the constrains of EV charging energy and charging power into consideration. In addition, DG can curtail the active power in the model to guarantee the operation safety. Then nonlinear optimization dispatch model are transformed and relaxed into second-order cone programming model to be solved. The optimization dispatch method proposed in this paper is verified by the IEEE33 node test system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
