Design and Simulation Analysis of Short Circuit Protection for Electric Ship DC Grid-connected System by WANG Wei, ZHANG Hanchen

“…For a ship DC grid-connected distribution system, when short-circuit occurs in a branch of the system, the short-circuit branch needs to be cut off, and the other branches can be retained and work normally. To ensure the selectivity of protection action of short-circuit protection fuse, it is necessary to calculate the short-circuit current value of all DC grid-connected branches and the fusing capacity of the fuse when the branch is short-circuit, so as to guide the design and type selection of the fuse. …”

Application and Research of Three-Row Pile Retaining Structure in Key Project of Drainage Pumping Station by HU Xubao, YAN Yong

“…Most of the wing walls at the connection section of forebays in key projects of drainage pumping stations are generally designed as cantilevers,buttresses,or box-type retaining wall structures and are equipped with temporary diversion and supporting measures,which thus require high project investment and long construction period.This paper took the Yaquewei water conservancy project as an example and optimized the scheme of wing walls between the pump station and the sluice at the connection section of the forebay of a large-scale drainage pumping station.After comparison and selection,it was recommended to adopt a three-row pile retaining structure,which is less used in water conservancy projects.The optimized scheme saves the project investment and shortens the construction period.At the same time,three-dimensional finite element numerical simulation technology and other means were used to compare the calculation results with the measured engineering data,so as to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the scheme and summarize the design experience.…”
