Probabilistic Analysis of Time-Series Production Simulation for Large-Scale Renewable Energy Bases in Desert-Gobi-Wasteland Regions Based on Dimension-Adaptive Sparse Grid Interpolation

Large-scale renewable energy bases in desert-gobi-wasteland regions, typically connected to load centers via long-distance weak tie-lines and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) corridors, face significant challenges in accurately and efficiently evaluating renewable energy accommodation rates and transmission corridor utilization. This study addresses the computational inefficiency of probabilistic time-series production simulation under dual uncertainties—stochastic renewable generation and planning variables such as installed capacity and peak load. A dimension-adaptive sparse grid interpolation (DASGI) surrogate model is proposed to approximate the complex original time-series production simulation model. The method integrates Monte Carlo sampling with the surrogate model to enable rapid probabilistic analysis and risk assessment. Experimental results demonstrate that the DASGI surrogate model achieves high fidelity with the original model while substantially reducing computation time. Furthermore, incorporating additional configuration points enhances the model's ability to precisely identify potential violation risks. The proposed approach offers a computationally efficient tool for uncertainty quantification in the planning of large-scale renewable energy bases and their HVDC transmission corridors, providing theoretical support for coordinated planning studies.

Topological Chitosan Framework Enables Reversible Columnar Array Anodes for High-Performance Aqueous Zinc Batteries

Eco-friendly aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs) are promising alternatives to lead-acid batteries in applications requiring both safety and energy density. However, their practical deployment is hindered by the synergistic deterioration of zinc anodes—structural collapse and kinetic failure—under high depth of discharge (DOD) and high current densities, which severely limits actual energy and power densities. Here, we report a strategy for the in situ integration of a double-layer topological chitosan framework (D-CTS) on current collectors via regulating phase separation kinetics during multistage coordination-neutralization electrophoresis. The vertical through-hole array is formed by coupling instantaneous and delayed phase separation. Subsequently, a columnar zinc array is mediated by D-CTS to construct an integrated component (D-CTS-Zn) comprising a vertical through-hole separator and an array anode. The embedded interconnected nanonetworks within the through-hole walls enable dynamic equilibrium of the columnar zinc array through a lateral ion compensation mechanism. As a result, Zn||Zn symmetric cells with D-CTS-Zn stably cycle over 3000 cycles at 200 mA cm−2 under 60% DOD. The assembled D-CTS-Zn||MnO2 battery delivers an energy density of 83 Wh kg−1 at an ultrahigh power density of 9.25 kW kg−1. This work provides a constructive strategy for chitosan phase separation regulation and separator-induced reversible metal array anodes.
