In this paper, a frequency-adjustable tuning fork electromagnetic energy harvester is introduced. The electromagnetic vibration energy harvester can adjust its natural frequency according to a change in the environmental excitation frequency without any change to the structure. In the frequency-adjustable range, it can make the energy harvester resonant with the environment excitation, and the output frequency stays the same. The frequency-adjustable tuning fork electromagnetic energy harvester significantly increases the range of frequencies used. The operating frequency of the centre can be easily switched from 9.2 to 20 Hz, enabling the application of multiple excitation frequencies. In addition, the output power and power density are significantly increased compared to a piezoelectric tuning fork energy harvester of the same size. The peak power is 23.59 mW at 9.2 Hz, the power increases by 14.85 mW, and the power density increases by 169.88%. The experimental results show that the electromagnetic tuning fork frequency-adjustable conversion energy harvester can make the LED lamp work.

The wind–heat conflict and wind power uncertainty are the main factors leading to the phenomenon of wind curtailment during the heating period in the northern region of China. In this paper, a multi-time scale optimal scheduling strategy for combined heat and power system is proposed. Considering the temporal dependence of wind power fluctuation, the intra-day wind power scenario generation method is put forward, and both day-ahead and intra-day optimization scheduling models based on the scenario method are established to maximize the system’s revenue. The case analyzes the impacts of the initial heat storage capacity of a heat storage device and different scheduling strategies on system revenue. It is verified that the scheduling strategy can better adapt to wind power uncertainty and improve the absorption capacity of wind power, while ensuring the safety and economical efficiency of system operation.
