Low-Ripple Modulation Strategy for a Photovoltaic-Based Triple-Port Hydrogen Production System

Among various production methods, hydrogen generation via electrolysis powered by renewable energy plays a key role in achieving large-scale green hydrogen production. The triple active bridge isolated DC-DC conversion system exhibits significant application potential in hydrogen production due to its advantages, such as high energy density, wide step-down ratio, and high reliability. However, the output current ripple at the hydrogen production port critically affects the efficiency of the electrolyzer and the hydrogen production rate. Existing studies have limited optimization effects on current ripple and struggle to achieve dynamic optimization, leading to constrained ripple suppression under dynamic operating conditions. To address this issue, this paper proposes a low-ripple modulation strategy based on coordinated optimization of inner and outer phase-shift angles for multi-port power conversion systems in renewable energy hydrogen production. By establishing an accurate mathematical model, the optimal phase-shift angle combination under minimal current ripple conditions is derived. An improved differential evolution algorithm with adaptive parameter strategy is employed to achieve global optimization under dynamic conditions. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively suppresses current ripple, providing an efficient and reliable solution for hydrogen production from fluctuating renewable energy sources.

COVID-19 Docking Server: A meta server for docking small molecules, peptides and antibodies against potential targets of COVID-19

Motivation: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a new type of coronavirus has been emerging from China and led to thousands of death globally since December 2019. Despite many groups have engaged in studying the newly emerged virus and searching for the treatment of COVID-19, the understanding of the COVID-19 target-ligand interactions represents a key chal-lenge. Herein, we introduce COVID-19 Docking Server, a web server that predicts the binding modes between COVID-19 targets and the ligands including small molecules, peptides and anti-bodies. Results: Structures of proteins involved in the virus life cycle were collected or constructed based on the homologs of coronavirus, and prepared ready for docking. The meta platform provides a free and interactive tool for the prediction of COVID-19 target-ligand interactions and following drug discovery for COVID-19.

Channel Attention and Multi-level Features Fusion for Single Image Super-Resolution

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated superior performance in super-resolution (SR). However, most CNN-based SR methods neglect the different importance among feature channels or fail to take full advantage of the hierarchical features. To address these issues, this paper presents a novel recursive unit. Firstly, at the beginning of each unit, we adopt a compact channel attention mechanism to adaptively recalibrate the channel importance of input features. Then, the multi-level features, rather than only deep-level features, are extracted and fused. Additionally, we find that it will force our model to learn more details by using the learnable upsampling method (i.e., transposed convolution) only on residual branch (instead of using it both on residual branch and identity branch) while using the bicubic interpolation on the other branch. Analytic experiments show that our method achieves competitive results compared with the state-of-the-art methods and maintains faster speed as well.
