Stability of the V(V) electrolyte with and without additives was investigated with ex-situ heating/cooling treatment at a wide temperature range of-5 ?C to 60 ?C. It was observed that methanesulfonic acid, boric acid, hydrochloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid,polyacrylic acid, oxalic acid, methacrylic acid and phosphotungstic acid could improve the stability of the V(V) electrolyte at a certain range of temperature. Their electrochemical behaviors in the V(V) electrolyte were further studied by cyclic voltammetry(CV), steady state polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results showed that the electrochemical activity, including the reversibility of electrode reaction, the diffusivity of V(V) species, the polarization resistance and the flexibility of charge transfer for the V(V) electrolyte with these additives were all improved compared with the pristine solution.展开更多

The function of the current 500kV centralized monitoring system is not enough mature to meet the requirement of the large-scale operation and large-scale maintenance model proposed by the State Grid. In order to fully utilizing the function of the centralized monitoring system, an improved design scheme is presented for the current 500kV centralized monitoring of the Jiangxi Power Grid. The improved centralized monitoring system is divided into three layers: monitoring center layer, operating team layer, and substation layer, which not only has the advantages of high security, high reliability, and easy maintenance, but also realizes the management model of regional control. So it can perfectly meet anti-misoperation requirement in the large operation and large maintenance mode, which can provide reference and guidance for the design of the 500kV centralized monitoring system of Jiangxi Power Grid.展开更多
