Sustainable development of energy and electric power is the primary task to support China’s high-quality economic and social development. Therefore, talent cultivation in the electric power industry is indispensable. Under the background of emerging engineering education, North China Electric Power University, as the cradle of the cultivation of outstanding talents in the electric power industry, took the lead in proposing and constructing the cultivation mode of compound applied chemistry talents based on the concept of “green power”, and successfully applied it to the reform and practice of undergraduate teaching. The practice enables students not only to master the application background and engineering practical skills of electric power environmental protection technology, but also to have the innovative ability of collaborative analysis and solving complex multi-pollutant control problems. The cultivation of high-quality applied chemistry talents in the new era would serve the development of the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Optimization of wind turbines positioning on large complex wind farm has been investigated in the present study with the objectives of maximum extracted wind power and minimum wind farm operating cost. A symmetrical regular hill is selected as the research model. The widely used engineering models are used to investigate the flow field and then to predict the annual power production of the wind farm. Commercial software Fluent is also employed to verify the accuracy of these engineering models. A cost model is designed based on engineering experience to predict the operating cost. Then, NSGA-II multi-objective optimization algorithm is applied with the number and position of wind turbines, and compared with the single-objective optimization. Finally, individuals with better performance are evaluated with respect to various criteria, and associated configurations and characteristic parameters of wind farm are presented. The simulation shows that these algorithms can be used for micro-sitting within a real wind farm in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
